This space was perfect for our NYE 2024 wedding, it's large but not cavernous, beautiful and the floor to ceiling brick is quintessential Seattle! Erin was incredibly communicative and collaborative, so easy to work with! The flexibility to turn the space into whatever we needed for our wedding was incredible. The night of our wedding, the events coordinator there came right up to introduce herself and made sure we all had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend!!!
I was the DJ for a couple were the groom was deaf as well as many guests. It was a great venue to bring visual stimulation. there is so much that you can do with this space or you can just enjoy the natural look which is stunning as well

Erin & Melissa were WONDERFUL to work with for my wedding. I originally wanted a venue nearby AXIS that had a similar vibe but was known for having terrible management... and let me tell you, working with Erin & Melissa made ALL the difference. They were timely, responsive, and very personable. Communication was seamless and I truly felt cared for by Erin & Melissa. AXIS is a gorgeous space but working with Erin & Melissa really made it special. I highly recommend having your wedding here :)
We were so happy we chose AXIS as our wedding venue! It’s a gorgeous space with plenty of room to spread out and use different parts of the space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. The brick is gorgeous and the AXIS team is really flexible when it comes to decor - minimal restrictions compared to a lot of venues! Melissa and Erin are also so lovely to work with. They’re super friendly, responsive to questions, and easy to communicate with. No complaints about AXIS and would definitely recommend it to others!
We got married at Axis and had an incredible experience working with Erin and Melissa. They were so friendly and helpful, and so responsive to all of my (many) emails. The space itself is beautiful, perfect for the downtown industrial vibe we were going for. We were able to reserve the alleyway for cocktail hour and our guests loved the indoor/outdoor option. The space if perfect to transition between ceremony and reception, lots of dancing room, big open bar. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. It was the wedding of my dreams.
We were searching for a wedding venue that would reflect our artistic backgrounds, so AXIS Pioneer Square was the perfect match for us! I had walked under the tall ceilings and beautiful brick arches of this space on numerous occasions while exploring the First Thursday art walks, so when I found out that it was a wedding venue as well as an art gallery, I knew it was the one. The location in the historic heart of Seattle would be the ideal place to gather our families visiting from California and Ohio to give them an authentic experience of the city where we fell in love. Melissa and Erin were wonderful! They encouraged us to embrace the versatility of the venue and helped us envision the possibilities for customizing the layout to make our event express our creative personal styles. I planned to hang up my own paintings as well as paintings from the artists on both sides of our families. They were flexible and open-minded when helping us brainstorm locations that would work for installing a tension spinning pole so that we could make our first dance performance memorable. As an electronic musician, John loved that music didn’t have to stop until 2am and we could wrap up the night with an amazing dance party! Having access to the quaint alley abutting the venue as an outdoor space for guests to take in the night air when they needed a break from the dance floor was also a great perk. We both have large families that love to celebrate, so the venue’s capacity was a key selling point, and so was the ability to purchase our own alcohol to supply for the event! If you’re looking for an iconic wedding venue with a professional team and an artistic flair, I highly recommend AXIS!
My husband & I got married last October (2019), and it was simply the best and most incredible day. Axis Pioneer Square made this happen! We could not be more satisfied with Melissa & Erin - professional, organized, thoughtful, and extremely customer-service oriented. Not to mention the perfect city wedding venue: exposed brick, high ceilings, and Pioneer Square - WHAT A DREAM. Even my husband was swooning at the look of the venue.
We have recommended the Axis team to whomever comes our way and we are forever grateful for the role they played in our wedding day. If you are looking for a dependable team in a beautiful setting, these are your gals and this is your venue.
Thank you, Melissa & Erin!

We recently had our August 24 wedding at AXIS Pioneer Square. Not only was the venue itself gorgeous (everyone commented on how amazing it was!), but Melissa and Erin were so wonderful to work with at every stage of planning. They were fun, creative, and had a solution to every issue we came across. Our photos are so gorgeous because of this beautiful venue in the heart of Seattle. There are also several great photo locations right around the corner from AXIS. Book this venue!!
Erin and Melissa were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They answered questions in a timely manner and gave plenty of suggestions for vendors and ideas. The space was perfect for the amount of people we had and fit our theme perfectly!
The venue was gorgeous. Axis was one of the first vendors we secured and it helped create the perfect back drop for our wedding. Erin and her team accommodated multiple visits and were very flexible considering we were coming in from out of town. The place was clean and ready for our vendors right on time. Thank you Axis! I would highly recommend hosting your next event here.
Stop looking anywhere else in the Seattle area. AXIS is such a fantastic and unique space. Melissa and Erin cannot be beat. They are both so friendly and accommodating, and they will go out of their way to make sure your event is lights out!!
We are so lucky their corner gallery was available for the date we wanted and the size for our party was perfection. They even were able to secure a permit for an "outdoor sidewalk cafe" for guests to get some fresh air! It was all magical and cannot be more thankful :)
The team at AXIS is AMAZING! Melissa and Erin who run the show around there are wonderful, knowledgeable, and professional. They were in constant communication with us from the moment we toured the venue all the way through to post wedding day. The day of event coordinator for the venue was also very helpful and professional on the day of with anything we needed or our vendors needed. This team does a large amount of different events and they were helpful with recommending other vendors that they have worked with in the past. This venue has amazing old wood floors, brick walls, and a great alley which lends to any type of look and feel you would want on the day of your wedding or any other event. There is a reason why they won Best of 2017 from Seattle Bride magazine!
We had our reception at Axis and LOVED it! It is a fantastic space with several smaller spaces available within it. It can accommodate a large group, but doesn't feel cavernous. The Axis staff is knowledgeable and helpful.
AXIS was awesome. The Team at AXIS really makes you feel special through the planning process and through the event itself. Such a beautiful venue, all of my guests loved it!
