So happy we found Dockside at Dukes!

Dockside at Dukes was a fortuitous find! The venue is simple but lovely and has a wonderful view of the lake and hills of Seattle. We worked with Danae and Katie during the planning process and they were communicative and helpful throughout the process. Costs were explained upfront and at the first venue visit we received a “sample” cost package showing current costs for food, the various options available, and all taxes, fees, etc. We were shocked at how much more reasonable the costs were than other venues we had looked into. I have to admit, I was a little nervous that there was some catch, but everything was as expected. In fact, it was far above expectations! The serving and bar staff were just awesome! Jennah was our coordinator on the day and let me tell you, that woman was just amazing. She ran things during set up, quickly realized the “look” we were aiming for, and literally made it all happen just perfectly. I could not have done what needed to be done during set up without her and the staff. Seriously worth her weight in gold. The food was fantastic and we had many people comment on how much they enjoyed it. The night went so smoothly and my daughter and son-in-law had just the most lovely and memorable evening. I just can’t say enough good things about Dockside at Dukes and I’m so happy we found them!

Everyone loves the food!

Communication is great. The venue looks amazing. Danae, the event manager, made sure all of our questions answered. She was very kind. Me and my fiancé would recommend this place to anyone. Everyone loved the food and if you wanted halal food they can provide! 10/10

Perfect Wedding Venue Dockside at Dukes

Dockside at Dukes is a perfect venue for a wedding on the deck and buffet reception. The view is amazing. The food was delicious and the service was top notch! It is a great location, we had many guests from all over the country and they stayed in hotels close by. We also used A Amore Events and Entertainment for the DJ and planning. I recommend highly both for a perfect night!
