Best Day Ever
Cannot thank the team at Imperia enough for making our day so special and perfect!!!!! The entire planning process was so easy thanks to their coordination, the food was DELICIOUS (and on our wedding day it was even better than the tasting!) and the in-house florals were stunning. And what a beautiful venue! Get married here!!!! (Photos by Into Dust Photography)
Incredible venue! Perfect for classy, retro vibes
We had a wonderful ceremony and reception at Imperia! Tasia and JJ are super experienced and easy to work with. They made it really easy to book most of the services we needed for the evening and helped us with every little detail.
Best Venue Ever!
Imperia Lake Union was the perfect venue for our wedding. Communication with the staff was super easy - everyone we interacted with was extremely responsive and helped make planning stress-free. The venue space itself is absolutely incredible with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Union. It was the ideal backdrop for our big day. The team went above and beyond to execute our vision flawlessly while attending to every detail, big and small. They made the whole event enjoyable rather than hectic. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing venue and crew to host our wedding. I cannot recommend Imperia Lake Union highly enough for any couple's special event or wedding. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured our wedding went off without a hitch.
Melanie & Philip
Imperia Lake Union was a dream to work with as the bride and groom. They planned out everything and kept things very easy for us. The communication was always prompt and clear. On the day of the wedding, they handled setting up and coordinating. The day was magical and flawless because of the staffs hard work. Not to mention the venue space is so beautiful and our pictures are stunning due to the swanky candle-lit background. Would highly recommend this venue for any event, but especially a wedding. It is dreamy!
