The Admiral’s House

We held our wedding at the Admiral’s House in September and it was the perfect venue for us.
It was extremely important to me to find a venue that showcased Seattle for our East Coast family. And it was extremely important to my husband to find a venue that was private and didn’t have strangers walking around. We looked at nearly every venue in the greater Seattle area but nothing resonated with us. Then we found the Admiral’s House. It is extremely private (no neighbors to bother), it is has a jaw dropping view (Downtown, The Bay, The Marina, Rainer), and it provides you will a cozy indoor/​outdoor space you can completely personalize
You do need a planner to throw an event here. Not only does Admiral’s House’s contract require it, but it’s truly a blank slate so you’ll want a professional to organize everything you’ll need to bring in, setup, and breakdown. It’s not a huge space, but we comfortably fit a tent seating 120 and a dance floor in the front yard.
Bill, who is the main contact at the property is extremely helpful, flexible, and willing to accommodate. We strongly recommend The Admiral’s House to anyone looking for a homey, unique wedding with a stunning Seattle backdrop.

A classic Seattle setting with a beautiful view, tucked into Magnolia Bluff. The historic Admiral’s House overlooking Elliott Bay has recently been remodeled, and is quietly making itself available as an event space for weddings & parties. The house and grounds can probably accommodate up to 150 people. Parking at the house is limited, so it’s best to plan on offering valet parking for your guest. There is ample parking at the bottom of the hill under the Magnolia bridge. Inside the house, you’ll find several rooms, including a bar and fireside room, as well as a large dining room with a dance floor. Outside, a circular driveway around the house offers access to an amazing view looking north over the bay. You’ll look past the marina where the cruise ships dock to downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier beyond. Voted best new place to have a wedding in 2014 by Seattle Magazine!
