Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding DJ I have been to many venues and for a city venue this is a special one with the view of the canal, boats and trains. You are on the edge of the waterway and the windows do the view justice. Plenty of space for tables and a dance floor with another section that flows well into the space. The bar and esthetics are well thought out and the staff is friendly. The patio is perfect for an outdoor ceremony If you are having guest come visit Seattle, this is as Seattle as it gets. You get to see boats and trains go by without the noise. And it is close to parks and bars for an after party. DJ Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs www.grooveonhydsestreet.com
