Imperia Lake Union staff and venue went above and beyond my expectations! The venue was clean, classy, and had a tasteful design that extra decorations were minimal on my part. In addition, Tasia Fisher (Director of Events) was AMAZING! She was prompt, calm, and collected. She made sure my wedding day went smoothly but that we were taken care of along the way. The food tasting exceeded our expectations and guests raved about it afterwards. The only thing I wish I did differently was extend my wedding longer because I didn't want to leave! :) If you want a magical and beautiful wedding, then Imperia Lake Union is your wedding venue. I'd give them 10 stars - they are the best!
This was such a beautiful place to have our wedding!! The people were wonderfully helpful and kind, the park was a fantastic place to hold the ceremony, and the reception venue was perfect! It’s such a great space that requires little extra decorating. We got the candle package and had flower arrangements on the tables, and it was perfect! Our guests raved about the delicious food, the rooms to get ready in were so comfortable and creative, and the service was fantastic. Overall, it was all so great and Imperia was the best place we could have chosen to get married!
We couldn't have been more thrilled about hosting our wedding reception at Imperia! From the moment you walk into this venue you feel it's a memorable and special place :) the decor is top notch! It is a DANCE VENUE! We couldn't have hosted the dance party we did without the space of Imperia. It was idyllic. From the very beginning, JJ and Tasia were so communicative, accommodating, and focused on creating the event of our dreams! JJ's flowers matched the paper products my mom made PERFECTLY. It made for such a cohesive, polished look. Tasia was so flexible with our "alternative " requests for a private dinner in the back (just my husband and I) and for edible centerpieces that were a HIT! Tasia kept the night moving on a timeline so smoothly I just got to sit back and enjoy the ride. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the efficiency and professionalism of the staff. The food was unbelievable! Best wedding food I've ever had, they even boxed up the leftovers for us at the end of the night! The fact they do their own food, drink, and flowers made our wedding planning much simpler! If you want to feel like you've landed in the middle of a Gatsby party or if you want to throw the dance party of a lifetime, do not hesitate and BOOK IMPERIA!
We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Imperia in June 2022 and are still raving about the experience!!
First, we initially booked pre-covid, and Imperia was extremely helpful and accommodating during the challenges of cancellations and postponements, as well as in navigating safety protocols. We are so grateful.
Second, and most importantly, Tasia and the entire staff at Imperia truly know what they are doing, and we felt so lucky to have been in their hands. The planning was easy and straightforward, and as soon as we arrived after our church ceremony (and they so brilliantly provided my husband and me with food and drinks!), I felt my stress level recede--it was so easy to have FUN with our loved ones knowing things were working beautifully behind the scenes. All of our guests raved about the food and venue (I still dream about the chimichurri steak!). We felt well-taken care of the whole night, and things ran so smoothly. We were also able to stash a few sleeping babies and a babysitter in one of the lounges—game changer!
Finally, I wanted to share that although we love the art deco elements of the venue, we chose not to amplify them in our decor and it worked beautifully! Lots of options at this venue to play up your own style.

I'm currently commenting only on wedding preparation and the food tasting. The venue is exactly what my daughter was looking for, they've been extremely helpful in her early preparations. We went in for a food tasting and we're thrilled with what we tasted. There are so many options very consistently well prepared it made it actually hard to choose a menu. Just check out the pictures. Looking forward to the event, I will repost.
The Imperia is the perfect wedding venue. The staff are professional, kind, and so supportive. They helped us get everything we wanted out of our wedding. From the food and wine tasting, to the floral design, to the coordination, to the suggested vendor list- they seriously made our wedding the most perfect day. Wedding planning is stressful, even for a very prepared and loving couple. The Imperia made it so much less stressful, took so much weight off of us and made the process fun and enjoyable even. That’s hard to do! They run their business with integrity and love and it absolutely shows. We had the most perfect, beautiful wedding because of them and I will never stop being thankful for that. I can’t wait to find another reason to have a party there- they’re seriously that good! So just book it- do it!
As a photographer, I love the Imperia Lake Union! They have a great place for a wedding under the very cool art deco main ballroom ceiling and chandeliers that gets even better during the reception. The arrangement of the tables around the center dancefloor makes the space feel more intimate and inclusive of the guests as they can hang out at their tables and feel a part of the event when they aren't dancing. They are also very close to some nice place for portraits either walking or a very short drive to Gas Works, UW or just walking down to Fairview Avenue and Park. And finally, their staff is a joy to work with. They are very organized and helpful as well as just being nice people.
