Amy Lower(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-07-2021 I got married at The 101 on July 6, 2019. Not only am I lucky to have gotten married before the pandemic hit, but I am so lucky to have gotten married at The 101.There were so many things I loved about our wedding - but The 101 and my Sarah Seven dress are tied for first place. I discovered The101 before it was even open. I toured when it was under construction and fell in love with the space the minute I stepped foot in the door - even though it was covered in dust and tarps. Actually I think I fell in love with it just walking up alongside the building, with the brick, and perfect Pioneer Square Doors and incredible hanging flower pots. And when the space was finally done - it was perfect to me. It was modern without being too modern, a little rustic with the beams and brick, had incredible lighting at all times of the day - with the floor to ceiling windows that gave a sense of openness and made you feel good about having an indoor wedding on a beautiful summer day.I also very much enjoyed planning our wedding with my 101 Coordinator. She was extremely responsive and on top of things, and helped me work thru all the changes that fell in my way. Because the space was such a beautiful blank slate, it was a fun challenge to plan our big day from where the DJ would be, to where the ceremony would happen to how the direction of the tables for dinner. From day one I knew that everything was under control and taken care of. I enjoyed the planning process with my Coordinator (who I now consider a friend) so much I would do it over and over again if I could!And then there was the big day. It went off without a hitch. Everything was better than I even could have even imagined. Countless guests came up to me to tell me how beautiful and wonderful the venue was. Reviewed on 09-09-2021

I fell in love when I first saw the 101, even my husband too. We booked this place immediately and we are so grateful that Alison helped us out so much. I had so many questions and concerns since I had never done this before. She is definitely above and beyond. This venue is gorgeous and they have all the things you need, chairs tables, cocktail tables, and many other things. I really happy I got so many cute photos and this venue made us so happy.

Having our wedding ceremony and reception at the 101 was an easy choice. We wanted a city environment for our wedding and the not only was the venue location perfect for that but the amenities and service provided had the choice even easier. We appreciated all of the different options for the event that the venue provided and were happily assisted throughout the process by the staff. We felt assured on our special day due to the addition of security which gave us peace of mind for us and our guests. For anyone looking for a city environment, the 101 is a stellar venue due to their amenities, modern feel and great service. Reviewed on 19-11-2023

Ally (our wedding planner through the 101) and the 101 team were absolutely wonderful in helping us plan our celebration and the venue was perfect. They truly made us feel like we were their only clients. The venue has so much character, yet it's so customizable depending on how you want it set up. I can't recommend Ally enough - she was SO on top of everything for us so we didn't have to stress at all. I don't know how they do it so gracefully (I would be stressed out of my mind with so many events going on) - the service really is above and beyond. Reviewed on 25-10-2023

We had our wedding reception here in September and The 101 truly exceeded our expectations. We opted for the partial planning wedding package and Alison was our wedding planner. She did a great job, was a pleasure to work with, she was super communicative and made sure everything was done with all vendors and coordination. Not to mention The 101 team made the venue look incredible. The only thing I would change is that I would have done the entire planning package because our experience was so great-it is totally worth it.The venue is beautiful and spacious. It's also in a perfect area for taking wedding photos. The rental also comes with table and chairs. We decided to add the photo both last minute and it turned out to be one of the best parts of the reception. We had a great experience with The 101. Reviewed on 20-10-2023

The team at the 101 are amazing, they kept us moving forward and on track with all of our bookings and when we were stumped on how to get where we wanted to be, they had very helpful ideas and suggestions. Our wedding was spectacular, and they were just a huge part of making it so.\t\t\t\t\t\tThe space is expansive and totally customizable, we had so much fun coming up with décor ideas and they all worked because of the flexibility of the space; some of the decor included multiple disco balls hanging from the ceiling, a balloon net for a balloon drop at midnight, tape decorations on the walls, etc.\t\t\t\t\t\tHaving the 24-hr rental period was a lifesaver, being able to leave that night and not have to worry about bringing everything out at that moment was amazing. We returned in the morning and gathered all of our leftover belongings knowing they were safely stored for us overnight. Which on NYE was very helpful, and meant we didn't have to pay additional vendor fees for a pickup after midnight on a holiday. Reviewed on 06-02-2023

The 101 has beautiful brick walls, floor-ceiling windows, wood and concrete columns and is big enough for a ceremony and reception all in one. Even better - the booking is for 24 hours so you can come back in the morning to finalize your clean up. The 101 staff was great to work with, responsive, and helped up make our vision a reality.We originally booked this venue in 2019 for a 2020 wedding.

Hope Bixby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-12-2021 We ultimately had three wedding dates due to Covid. The 101 was great at helping us move our wedding around. Emily was very helpful and responsive. She went above and beyond the weekend of our wedding. The space is great--we ultimately had a fairly small wedding (~60 people) and we were able to use the space as a ceremony, dinner, and reception space without moving things around throughout the night. The perks of a 24 hour rental are not to be ignored as we were able to come back the following morning and finish packing up the venue. I would highly recommend checking it out and seeing if it works for your wedding vision! Reviewed on 10-01-2022
AJ Arceneaux(groom)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2020 Absolutely do not use this venue!!! They took $5,000 from us and all they did was show us around a couple of times. We tried to even just broker a deal only get half of our money back, due to Covid, but they refused. They were completely unsympathetic to our situation, took our money, and we never heard from them again. If I could give them negative stars I would. They took almost weeks sometimes to get back to us, took all of our money for doing nothing, and did not seem to care about their customers at all. PLEASE save yourself some heartache, and use a different venue. And if you do use them, do not give them a single CENT until you absolutely have to. Reviewed on 25-11-2020
Max Ti(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-04-2020 We had a wedding planned in April 2020. Due to Covid-19, the city had shut down all gatherings and we could not go through with our original wedding plans. It was to our great disappointment that the 101 made these unexpected changes even worse when they refused to give us back ANY money. This was unreasonable considering they were not able to provide us any services. We lost 6k and we know that many other wedding venues have been much more understanding and forgiving in this area. We are sad and disappointed by this. Reviewed on 16-06-2020

With the red brick, white brick and huge windows there are so many different backdrops that you can create multiple different vibes and because everything is neutral you can really make it anything you want it to be.

Rae Rosen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 I loved having my wedding at THE 101 - the space is spacious and stunning, and it was perfect for me since I planned my entire wedding. Having the vendor flexibility is so great. The team was also so amazing to work with, both leading up to the day, and during the event. We rented the space the day before the wedding, which was a game changer for set up and prep. If you have the budget to do this, I HIGHLY recommend it. Once we costed out the rehearsal dinner at nearby restaurants, it wasn't that much more expensive to just rent THE 101.Some things to be aware of: getting the venue at 10am on the day of the wedding means you may not be able to have a rehearsal the night before and load in/set up is very tight. Other highlights: The tables and chairs they provide are greatThe venue doesn't need much decorThey provide you access to All Seated to design your seating chart/design/etc. and it was really helpful Reviewed on 02-10-2019

The venue is located right in Pioneer Square, a lively and fun part of town. The interior of the space is gorgeous with multiple textures that allow for diversity of creativity with your backdrops. There are brick walls, white brick walls, simple white walls, and floor to ceiling windows that allow for gorgeous natural light to stream through. The space is really a beautiful canvas for any social event, styled shoot, or wedding. As if the space was not stellar enough, the staff was so great to work with.
