The Stables

We had my daughter’s wedding here in August, 2015 and it was so much fun! We chose our own caterer (Pyramid Catering) and they did the set up and clean up for us.
The venue is amazing! It is the cutest place! So many crazy, eclectic decorations! ! The staff was very helpful. We needed a couple of tables at the last minute and they helped us out no problem.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique place to have a party or wedding!

We had our wedding here on 8÷17÷14. Everything was great from beginning to end. Mary was a great rental manager, Kay was a terrific venue manager. Affordable rental costs and reasonable requirements. No catering restrictions (we used Fez on Wheels for our appetizers and dinner menu/​Proletariat Wines/​Machine House Brewery/​Pour Girls Bar tending). And the venue is «Georgetown Eclectic» — no need to decorate other than a few items that make it unique to you. We had table linens, flowers, photo displays, and a few wedding themed banners, but other than that the Stables provides all the flair you need.
We had 200 people at our event. I’ve heard numerous times since that people loved the venue and had a blast. We couldn’t be happier!

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
We threw a «hey-​we-​eloped-​guess-​we-​should-​have-​a-​reception» party here a few weeks ago and it was EPIC.
The booking/​reservation process was extremely easy, and Mary makes it a breeze to coordinate all the things — even via email.
The space itself is probably the coolest space in Seattle. I don’t care what anyone says — I’ve been to a shit ton of event spaces in Seattle, but this one takes the cake. It’s funky, spacious, comfortable, and resembles what I’d want in a living space.
We had our favourite friends from next door (Fonda la Catrina) cater the reception, which worked out beautifully, as there’s an outdoor patio that connects to the Stables’ outdoor space, so it was super easy to go outside, get your MADE TO ORDER tacos and tamales, then tromp back inside to eat and chill out.
Kay was our onsite coordinator and she was an absolute dream to work with — super laid back and I wanted to her to stay and hang out during our event vs work!
If we throw another event in the Seattle area, you can bet I’ll be hitting this place up again — first of all, it’s in Georgetown, and second, IT’S AWESOME.
Go check it out — a great time would be during GT Art Attack!

I went to a birthday party here. The venue seems to work quite well. The hosts had a food truck provide the meal. They just pull up to a deck area in the back and it works really well. There is an area for a DJ and that doubles as an area for a karaōke host too. A small band might fit up there. As far as i can tell you can bring in all the fine booze you want. It’s off the main street, but not too hard to find. Parking is in a gravel lot. I might have to use this place some day…

We had our October «autumnal» themed wedding reception here.
It’s a great venue: it’s already so homey, you don’t need to bring a lot of décor with you (important, since we are out-​of-​towners now); lots of different seating/​cluster areas, including the room with the fireplace, so everyone can find a place with their friends in a temperature they’re comfortable with; great kitchen/​bar area!; the outside was perfect for kids to race around and play and for when people (okay, me) overheated a little. The sound system was also really good. It was easy getting catering in, both the food and the tables. One guest was in a wheelchair, and access for him was easy.
The Stables staff were pleasant to work with, and I felt taken care of but not overly monitored during the event itself.
Our guests were diverse (some more traditional and some decidedly less so!), but universally approved of the venue as comfortable, fun, and reflective of us as a couple. Most people hadn’t heard of it, which made me glad we’d snapped it up when we did.
We had 60 people for an appetizer buffet, and it didn’t feel crowded at all. I’m so happy that we found this place, and that it was available — it really made it a special event for me and my guests.

I found the Stables through a Unilocal search and fell in love! We had our wedding here last weekend and everything was perfect.
The venue is beautiful, funky and fun, and a perfect size for my 50 guests. I also found out at the last minute (as I cut it close with this part) they also rent tables and chairs, which saved me delivery hassles and trauma.
The staff was awesome to work with and I especially loved K, who was my coordinator the night of the event. She kept checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly.
I would highly recommend the Stables to anyone looking for a smaller venue with lots of character!

The stables is a great place to hold an event. I had my baby shower here and every step of the process was seamless. The rental agreement lays out everything you need to do to have a great event. The policies are clear right from the start and there is no guessing as to what and when you will get charged for what. I think Shannon L. may not have read the document because it was seamless for myself (even for having pregnant brain). Mary was helpful before and during the event ensuring that I had everything I needed to have a great event. The space itself is great and there are extra separated gathering spaces for guests which I really liked. The space is a gem in Georgetown in its secluded nature.

I just had my wedding reception here on ⁹⁄₇! This is such a great space! I would have given a 5 star rating but I think Mary was a little difficult to work with! She was not helpful at all when it came to where I could have my rental company drop our things off and was going to charge me $ 40 to come let them in (isn’t that your job as a venue manager?). She wanted to charge me extra for every little thing (so make sure you have enough time to set up and break down).
That being said this place is RAD!!! You can bring your own booze (just need a banquets license which is $ 30) and either have it catered or you can do your own food. They have a great kitchen to work with. I also wan to say working with Emma was awesome. She really helped my parents with setting up and breaking down! Thanks Stables for a great reception

What a fun, interesting venue. We just attended a wedding for some dear friends and the place was perfect (with Cameron’s decorations, of course!)
It felt slightly crowded with chairs and tables — but I think all of the 130ish people that were there all got a decent view of the ceremony.

The stables was the cutest venue I could have imagined. It had so much space and so much interesting art. Since we planned our wedding from across the country, they dealt mostly with our planner. They were flexible when we could come look at the space when we came to visit before the wedding and also for a little rehearsal the day before. We had the space for an entire Saturday, and it was much more reasonably priced. Their website lays out all the prices, and there were no surprises. We had a security deposit, but it was refunded back to us within a week of the event ending. (Which was must faster than I anticipated!) If you’re looking for something a little quirky but definitely less expensive for a wedding venue, don’t hesitate to check out the stables.

The Stables in Georgetown is one of the most unique places you could have your event. Everything about this place is awesome, including Mary & Bob. I wish I could have party here once a week.
