Ray’s hosts weddings (including ceremonies) year-round in its private Northwest Room right next to the Boathouse and Cafe. Views off the deck overlook Shilshole Bay, and there’s an indoor space just in case the weather turns. Ray’s culinary team offers full bar and dining menus with seafood, meat, and vegetarian options. The Northwest Room also has a dance floor, built-in sound system and screen. Find out more at Ray’s official wedding page.

Located at the north end of Lake Union, Westward has a deck with sweeping views, fire pit, and boat parking. In cooler months, guests can get cozy on the deck’s Adirondack chairs under wool blankets. Oysters and seafood with a bit of Mediterranean influence rule the day here, as well as items from other Sea Creatures restaurants and neighbors like Sea Wolf Bakers.

For a true flex, rent out the penthouse at Canlis, one of Seattle’s most iconic restaurants, for your wedding reception. This space has wraparound views of Lake Union and the Cascades, a full service bar, and a baby grand piano. The seated dinner capacity is just 80, you’ll need to book a long time in advance, and it’s e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e, but you already knew that, right? Check out Canlis’s events page for more details.

One of Seattle’s most notable French restaurants, Cafe Campagne serves all the classics, from escargot to Boeuf Bourguignon. Though it doesn’t advertise as a wedding venue, the picturesque Pike Place surroundings and classic food make it a pretty freakin’ elegant option. The downside that this isn’t a big venue — the private dining room seats about 30, and buying out the whole restaurant would only give you 55 to 60 seats. Time to trim that guest list!

For a reception with an unmatched view of the Seattle skyline, head to Salty’s on Alki Beach. Choose from three private dining rooms, all with patios or decks, or combine all three for the Grand Skyline Ballroom experience, which accommodates up to 300 guests (or 240 seated). Some examples from the banquet menu are New York Strip, Steelhead, lobster tail, risotto, and kids options.

We’re cheating here because this isn’t a restaurant — it’s a shipping container right behind the notable Georgetown dive Star Brass Works Lounge. But if the rest of this list makes your skin crawl and your bile rise, go another direction. They’ll do your ceremony for $350 (and throw in an Elvis impersonator for $200 more), then you and you guests can go on a bar crawl in one of Seattle’s most fun neighborhoods. A wedding’s supposed to be a party, after all.
