World Trade Center Seattle

My family attended a wedding here. I have no idea how the wedding planning is here, but attending one was fantastic! Amongst the family attending, we had several food restrictions. We’d made our orders and when the person with the most severe restrictions (dairy, gluten, and soy free) send in her RSVP card, she noted these requirements.
We were the first to arrive at the reception of all the guests, since I am one of the few locals attending and I knew how to get around the ‘under construction’ primary route that both host directions and GPS directions wanted attendees to take. We were warmly greeted. When we mentioned one of our party had dietary restrictions, they already knew and she spoke with the kitchen manager to be sure everything would be good. The staff was excellent in keeping everything on a timely manner.
The food was excellent. I abstained from the bar items, but everyone else seemed to enjoy their beverages. Three appetizers were served, a vegetarian spring roll with mint that was really good, a chicken with satay sauce, and a BLT slider. All items were liked by the people who had them.
Ours was a plated dinner, with bread on the table (warm with a salty crust — delicious!), starting with a nice salad with a vinaigrette dressing. We had a beef meal with yummy mashed potatoes (my daughter’s favorite part of the dish), a crab cake crusted halibut (best fish my husband has had in our year+ out here in Seattle), and the vegetarian ravioli. A lemon sorbet was served to cleanse the palate between salad and entrée course. So classy! I’ve had that before, but I think this is the only time in my adult life I’ve attended an event with it.
There is a balcony outside the 4^th floor room and it was very nice to go out there to get a break from the noise. Because of the size of the room, the number of guests (about 60) and the DJ, the room was rather loud. It also had some temperature issues. A couple of us at my table were quite cold, but someone else mentioned it was really warm over by their table. The view is stunning!

This review is kind a overdue… I was here like 3 months ago?
We had a celebration here with my family (100±) guests. I think 60% (or so) on what you are paying for is the view (water, cascades, clear blue sky… dramatic). If you check on their website, the view looks so spectacular. The first time I saw this place, it’s WOW! then after awhile… nice…
If you are planning to have a celebration here, I recommend it to be summer. Why? So that you can enjoy the view until 9pm. If it’s on winter, I don’t think you will enjoy the view that much since the sun sets like 5pm… But not for me to decide (you can’t move birthdays don’t you? ha!) Moving on…
About the food, it’s just ok. Typical hotel food (this is not hotel but you got the idea). Dessert is just ok.
Everything is just fine, no big complaints. Again, if you want to celebrate your wedding, birthday etc here, make sure it’s because of the gorgeous/​spectacular view. If you prefer to have a better tasting food with no outside view at all, I’d rather go with Palace Ballroom (see my review).
