the Best Seattle Micro Wedding Venues
the list of the best Micro wedding venues in Seattle
I hear you loud and clear – You are looking for the best Seattle micro wedding venues. Trust me when I say I’m here to help! As someone who’s shot weddings all over this city, I can tell you Seattle is one of the most versatile places to tie the knot without going into debt. You want an intimate industrial space with character? An affordable garden vibe? A cozy spot with kick-ass mountain views? Seattle’s got all that without requiring a second mortgage. Let’s dive into these gems that’ll give you the day you deserve without the financial hangover.
What is the average cost of a wedding venue in Seattle?
Here’s the good news for all you budget-conscious couples – micro weddings in Seattle can save you serious cash. While traditional Seattle wedding venues typically range from $5,000-$15,000 (and premier spots can exceed $20,000), micro wedding venues often start at just $1,000-$3,000 for intimate gatherings. Many venues offer special micro wedding packages that include essentials like chairs, tables, and sometimes even basic decor. The key factors affecting price are guest count (keep it under 50 for the best deals), day of the week (weekdays are your friend!), and season (off-season = major savings). Remember, your venue sets the stage for your big day, but a smaller guest list means more options without sacrificing your vision or going into debt! I will mention the cost of each venue the best I can depending on what I have been told by clients.
When Is the best time of year to get married in Seattle?
If you’re trying to stick to a budget (and who isn’t these days) the late fall through early spring months (October-May) can save you a decent amount compared to peak summer rates. Yeah, there’s a higher chance of rain, but many venues offer indoor options or covered areas. And the moody Seattle vibes can make for some totally amazing photos! If you’re set on summer, consider a weekday ceremony – many venues offer a lower rate for Monday through Thursday bookings, even in peak season.This works best for those of you who want a super stripped down, elopement experience. Remember, it’s about celebrating your love your way, not going broke trying to impress people who won’t remember what month you got married anyway!
Outdoor Wedding Venues
MV Skansonia
One of the most unique venues in all of Seattle is the MV Skansonia. Up in the Docks located in the U District on Lake Union is this permanently docked old ferry that was build in 1929 and retains all of that old school charm. The view is one of the best you can get on Lake Union with a sweeping cityscape behind you during your ceremony. One of the many great venues owned by Landmark Events.

Kingston House
Alright alright I already hear the rebuttal “this isn’t in Seattle”. Yes, however I think the Kingston House deserves a place on this list! I actually grew up right down the street (no literally, right down the street) from this amazing wedding venue, back in my hometown in Kingston. They have the most amazing lavender fields in the summer. This place also has a wide range of options for rentals, and if you are looking to maximize your wedding budget, looking into offseason, or keeping the festivities minimal will help you cut costs!

This is one of the luxury choices for a wedding venue, but If you really love the style and charm of this venue, it is well worth it.

Your guests will have a view of the mountains on their gondola ride up to the top, where you will have Mount Rainer right behind you while you tell your boo how much they mean to you. If you want the feeling of an adventurous outdoor wedding without putting too much on your guests for their wedding, this is the spot I would absolutely lean towards.
