Bell Harbor International Conference Center Reviews

Our wedding is not until August 8, 2021. But Carissa has been an amazing help. She was very attentive and answered all of our questions during our visit that it was a no brainer for us I’m choosing this venue. She had an iPad with her as well and every corner of the venue that we visit, she would show us what it could look like to help us picture our special day!

Emily, Elizabeth and staff were absolutely amazing! I couldn’t imagine another venue. Guest are still talking about our wedding. From beginning to end they have been with us! Customizing menu options , helping with room layouts and custom cocktails!

We absolutely loved having our ceremony and reception at the World Trade Center Seattle. When we were searching for a venue, we both wanted a waterfront view of Puget Sound, and my now husband really wanted something that was fully indoors just in case there was summer smoke. WTC could not have been better for that vision, and we did end up getting to use the gorgeous outdoor terrace space since the weather ended up being fantastic as well. We knew our target guest count was around 75, and even though we ended up a bit lower then that at 59, the space was perfect for our size group, not too big or too small feeling. From beginning to end it was so convenient to have an all in one venue, and because we purchased the Celebration package it was incredibly easy to predict what our final costs would be. All food, alcohol, and rentals were provided by the venue, which meant that I didn't have to find a separate caterer. Everyone was also raving about how delicious the food was, and at our tasting they were very accommodating to the little tweaks we wanted to make to make everything just that much more perfect. They also offered small upgrades to things such as the linens at reasonable prices to really make the space fulfill our vision perfectly.
As for staff, everyone was super kind and wonderful, but in particular our sales manager Carissa, our event coordinator Paige, and our onsite coordinator Alyssa were all amazing and very responsive to any questions we had at any time. I could not recommend the WTC Seattle more for a couple with a guest list of less then 80 who wants an all inclusive, gorgeous waterfront venue!

What a beautiful view and such an amazing open space the staff was so easy to work with and was able to help me find areas we could use for photos. So far one of my favorite wedding spots to photograph.

we had our dream come true! Great place- great service- great! great! great! Best view of Seattle!

The Bell Harbor International Conference Center is such an amazing wedding venue! We had our wedding there in March. We got really lucky with the weather. We had always wanted our wedding to have an amazing view so we had our ceremony on the conference center’s rooftop plaza. What an amazing view! The reception room options are also amazing and have the same breathtaking views. Since half of our guests were from out of town we wanted to showcase Seattle’s beauty and Bell Harbor did just that. There are also a ton of hotel options close by so it’s a convenient location.

The Bell Harbor team is so wonderful and helpful. They really made our day amazing! Everyone was so kind and professional. Laurie, the event manager is awesome and we weren’t just another client to her, she made us feel special. She and Carissa were so accommodating throughout the planning process. Their communication was great and they were on top of everything.

The in-house catering is so delicious and there’s so many options to choose from. It may be a bit pricey, but compared to other venues who charge similarly, Bell Harbor is totally worth it. You get amazing food and beverages, outstanding service, friendly staff, and a beautiful location for your special day!

Bell Harbor was such an amazing venue for our July 19 wedding!! The weather was perfect and we had our ceremony up on the rooftop where you could see everything! The reception was downstairs in the Harbor Room and was great! The staff was very nice and courteous! Jennifer was a huge help throughout the planning process! All of our guests told us that was one of the best venues that they had ever been to!

Gradee over at the world trade center was the most amazing wedding coordinator i could have asked for. She was so attentive and always responded to my emails (no matter how silly the question) right away. Day of they took care of everything and i couldn't have had a better time at our wedding.

Daneka Sarkies is wonderful to work with. She is flexible and understanding. The menu tasting was the best part, before the wedding.

I highly recommend this wedding venue! The staff were so friendly, the reception cite is beautiful, and the food was delicious. So great!!

We were thrilled to find the world trade center. The room had a great view, and the food was awesome. The only downfall was that we had to use their caterers...which wasnt too big of a deal as the food was great.

We chose WTC Seattle as our wedding venue because it seemed like the right size for our wedding, and we loved its location, view, decor style, and the outdoor terrace.

Throughout the planning process, Carissa (our sales manager) and Jennifer (event manager) have been extremely responsive and helpful. Jennifer responded to all our questions and last-minute requests patiently, and she had the ceremony and reception set up exactly the way we wanted!

WTC provides exclusive catering and bar options. Honestly when we first looked through the brochure, the cost landed a bit on the pricey side. But the food and drinks were absolutely wonderful! And the catering and bartender service was top-notch. The serving staff members were kind and professional. Our banquet captain Cheryl even packed some food from the buffet for us when she noticed that we didn't have much time to eat our dinner!

We had a wonderful and memorable wedding, and would definitely recommend WTC to our friends and family!

The venue was beautiful, the staff were super helpful, the food was good, and everyone had a great time! It's not the cheapest place in the world, but it's worth it for that view! My only complaint is related to the alcohol: The alcohol packages were very expensive. Also, we couldn't select what kinds of wine we wanted, people had to drink whatever their house wine was. But for most people that's not a huge deal, and it wasn't bad wine! Overall, a great experience!

We had our reception at the World Trade Center Seattle which is managed by Bell Harbor. We loved everyone we worked with, they treated like we were good friends. Our Bell harbor wedding coordinator helped us plan our reception and was there the day of to make sure everything went exactly as planned. The food was wonderful, the room was modern and the view from our room was amazing!

We couldn't have been happier with how the venue turned out. The decorations were wonderful. The outdoor rooftop ceremony was beautiful. Catering was well done. The package options for food and drinks were great. Staff was very helpful and made everything possible down to the last detail. Catering and decor bundled into one location made things easy.

Carissa (Sales Manager) and Laurie (Event Manager) were both a pleasure to work with. I appreciate their professionalism, expertise, patience, and promptness is answering my many many questions. The venue comfortably fits 80 or so guests and felt very elegant and high class, with the floor to ceiling windows and high ceilings. The view out the window at night of the Puget Sound and the pier (including the lit up ferris wheel) was very romantic. The only minor down side was the price. There was a 23% service charge and that service charge is taxed. But the food was absolutely delicious. When we had our food tasting a few months prior to the wedding, we loved sampling all the entrees. It tasted like and was presented in a way that was at a 5-star restaurant level. The service staff appeared to be very professional as well on the day of the wedding. So I supposed you do get what you pay for; high price for high level of service and food.

I've always thought the location was scenic, beautiful, and spacious with good food and service from previous event I had attended here.

When it came time to look for a wedding venue last summer, this was obviously on our list. From our initial e-mail communication and scoping out of the venue, we had a great experience from the very professional sales manager, and we decided this was the right place for our big day.

Our event manager was also very kind to help us, answer questions, set up our tasting, venue walk-through, and handled our last minute changes from start to finish, and left us with only great memories of our planning and wedding day. Our guests complimented us on the beautiful space, the fresh and delicious (good portions!) dinner that was served quickly, and interesting exhibits. As bride and groom, we felt the service was wonderful especially when they were trying to get dinner and beverages to us as soon as possible. We had a great wedding day, thanks to Bell Harbor, and will definitely recommend this venue to our friends.

What a beautiful and perfect location to showcase Seattle's waterfront and city views. We had a lot of guests traveling in from out of town, most of whom had never been to Seattle so we really wanted to show off what Seattle has to offer.

We looked at several venues around the city but when offered the chance to get married on the rooftop and hold our reception inside and outside by the waterfront we couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Bell Harbor made everything so easy for us, by providing their own food and beverage service we didn't have to go out and find a caterer. They also provided us with a wedding coordinator, that I emailed at least 10 times a week, who was invaluable as she was so knowledgeable and willing to help. Our day went off perfectly and all the venue staff were great and polite.

Our guests loved being able to see the great views of the sound and Mt. Rainier as we said our "I Dos" and then be able to eat and dance in a room that looked like you were on a boat as well as being able to walk outside and be right next to the water. We couldn't have been happier with the venue we chose.

We had our wedding here in August and it was nothing less than perfect. We dealt with a few minor hiccups, like the cruise ship being 3 hours delayed, but it actually worked out for the best. Just be wary of cruise ships if you have a summer wedding and know that they don't leave till 4-5, so plan your wedding after that. Our coordinator, Gradee was wonderful to work with and everything flowed perfectly. We were in the harbor room and you can't really beat the view. We had a beautiful summer sunset right over the water and all of our guests raved about the waterfront venue.

The guests also raved about the food (and some still haven't stopped talking about it). We did a buffet with chicken, steak and salmon and it was delicious. The buffet is a little more expensive, but your guests can eat as much as they want, and we had many people go back for seconds. We added some decor and up lighting, because it's a conference room and not decorated for a wedding, but we covered the conference chairs and had drapery and lights hanging from the ceiling. We booked about a year and a half early because we had a long engagement, so we ended up getting half off the room rental and all of the 2013 prices, so book early if you can. All and all, it was a wonderful wedding at a wonderful venue.

Wonderful staff experience from the day we booked last June until now. Very attentive and professional employees. They made our wedding a night we will never forget.

We recently had a wedding (ceremony + reception) at the Maritime Event Center and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer Johnson was our venue coordinator and she was amazing to work with. She was very quick to respond to our numerous emails and agreed to host multiple venue visits just to make sure we knew where things would go. The service staff were all great to work with and super helpful the day before and the day of. I would highly recommend holding a wedding at Bell Harbor since everyone was so easy to work with (especially Jennifer!!!).

Had my wedding here last weekend. Overall, the service, food, and setting is amazing for a special celebration. We had the ceremony on the roof top with brilliant views of Seattle and the reception in the maritime room. You basically get a whole museum full of extra space to use to your liking. The main room has huge windows facing Alaskan Way with a garage door that can be opened for a gated off patio area.

The food is delicious! The only downside is that the pre tasting is very limited, so you don't get to try everything ahead of time that you end up choosing for the actual event meal. This was a bit nerve racking, but I guess it is because they are not a full time restaurant. You get to try exactly 3 hors d'oeuvres, 3 main courses with their choice of starch and veggie (they ignore the items you are considering as finalist for the starch and veggie choose randomly which veggie and starch to include as samples). I can't complain too much though because everything we picked ended up being terrific and we got a lot of compliments on the food from the guests.

The service during the reception was top notch and our wedding planner Brenna from Bell Harbor was very reliable throughout the process. There were a couple random added little costs that they tried to add on, but they try to work with you if you think the charge is unfair. Overall, I could not be happier with my decision to have my wedding at Bell Harbor. Thank you Brenna!

We were married on the rooftop of the Bell Harbor Convention Center, and it was gorgeous. The event manager we worked with was very laid back and flexible, however she wasn't always very responsive (and even double-booked herself when we were supposed to be touring the venue, so she left us to handle other customers in the middle of our appointment).

We used the rooftop for a cocktail hour after the ceremony, and the food, drinks and service were all excellent. There is everything needed for music up there as well, so our band offer excellent background music.

Everyone at the venue is very polite and we were extremely happy with the venue overall!

I recently had my NYE wedding at Bell Harbor, in the Maritime Event Center. It was amazing! From the planning, to the food, to the service, everything was top notch. Our event manager Delisha was responsive and always willing to help in whatever we needed. Our guest list started off a little too big, and Delisha made a plan for if we had too many guests. Luckily we ended up not having an issue, but their flexibility did not go unnoticed! Our guests raved about the food and all of the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Thank you Bell Harbor!
