College Club of Seattle

We love the College Club! We just had our October 3^rd wedding reception here, and it was magnificent! Alexandria and her staff were amazing and when I ran into kinks with her caterer, they were our back up. She seems to truly care that our day was special. The best benefit of having our wedding here is that we became members. We can take boats out in the summer and go to fantastic concerts on Thursdays. The Club room is an excellent gathering spot to watch sports and gather friends. Everyone is so friendly, the drinks are affordable and we have lakefront access that we never thought we would.

We held our wedding at the College Club of Seattle in August and it was a perfect venue for our group. The ceremony was held outside on the dock out front and made for great photos. Alexandra and Katy were also most helpful coordinating prior to the event. We found the club very affordable and they had availability for weekend evenings in Seattle in the summer. Recent upgrades including a bridal suite were a great addition.

We tried to organize our wedding here, but ran into numerous road blocks. The staff is extremely hard to get in touch with and they provide pricing information that changes every time. We even had the experience of having a staff member tell us that we would be able to cater the event ourselves, only to have her do an about-​face a week later and tell us it was prohibited, then completely ignore us for a week while we tried to follow up with questions.
The venue itself is lovely, with a great dock, a beautiful view, and reasonably priced, but we needed to have accurate information to start our planning, so we went with a different venue.

We had a wedding here over the summer and it was an excellent venue. It’s been newly renovated and looks great. The ceremony was on the dock outside, which was a beautiful backdrop with the cityscape and the sun poking through the clouds. At night you can see the lights in the city on the balcony. For a wedding venue in Seattle we thought it was awesome! (Guests really enjoyed it too.)

3.5 stars. A few colleagues of mine have memberships to the College Club and I’ve had lunch here a few times. It definitely has an old school «club» feel, which is kinda neat. It’s usually deserted and I have to wonder how they remain in business. At least you can have a peaceful lunch, instead of fighting the downtown lunch crowd. The staff is on a first name basis with each member, it seems. Their prices hover around the $ 9 mark. The menu consists primarily of traditional sandwiches, salads, and such (yawn), but they have a daily special/​buffet, which is usually something good and unique.
Their Mongolian Grill (on special) was actually pretty good. Their halibut fish & chips are nasty. I think they came out of a frozen box. The breading was too heavy, the fish was tough, and I left feeling slightly nauseated. Their fries were really crunchy. If I liked fries, I would’ve like them I’m sure. I should’ve gotten their turkey dinner buffet special instead. With all the fixins. Damn. I hope they have it next time I go.
