What’s Included With Your Seattle Venue Rental at THE 101

Planning a wedding in Seattle? You’ve probably discovered that every venue comes with its own list of inclusions — and just as many question marks. At THE 101, we believe transparency builds trust. That’s why we’ve laid out exactly what’s included when you book our venue, so you can plan with confidence and focus on the moments that matter most. No guesswork. No surprises.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a lively celebration, here’s everything that comes with your THE 101 rental.

The Basics

When you book THE 101, you’re getting more than a blank space. Our rental includes:

• 24 consecutive hours of venue access, so you can move in, host your event, and break down without rushing. For weddings, most couples follow a timeline of 10 AM to 12 AM, but you have access from 10 AM the day of your event, until 10 AM the following day.

• Flexible setup and teardown windows are built into your rental, with no extra fees or surprise timelines.

• Indoor-only venue: THE 101 is a fully indoor space, perfect for Seattle’s unpredictable weather. You’ll never have to worry about a rain plan!

Tables, Chairs, and Furniture

We provide a curated selection of furnishings to help bring your wedding vision to life:

• Tables: Guest tables and cocktail tables are all included.

• Chairs: 200 modern black chairs are included with every rental.

• Custom upgrades: Want a different look? You’re welcome to bring in custom rentals through an outside company. Need recommendations? Start with our epic vendor list!

• Decor-friendly design: Our minimal, industrial-chic aesthetic serves as a beautiful blank canvas for any event theme.

Tech & Amenities

Modern events often call for high-quality tech, and THE 101 delivers.

• WiFi: Easily connect to our network to share images on social, host a webinar, or anything else.

• Market lighting: The ultimate ambiance is already available with our market lighting throughout the space.

Need AV equipment? THE 101 offers basic options available for rent — including a projector and screen. For more complex events, we can help coordinate additional rentals through our trusted partners.

Staffing & Support

From load-in to last dance, you’ll have expert support along the way.

• Client Concierge: Your rental includes a dedicated Client Concierge on-site during your event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

• You bring your vendors, we handle the venue: While your vendors will manage their own setup and breakdown, our staff keeps the space ready and functional throughout the event.

• Cleanup made easy: You or your vendors are responsible for removing items brought in, but we’ll take care of trash disposal, cleaning the floors, and resetting the space post-event.

Optional Add-Ons

Want to go beyond the basics? We offer optional upgrades to make planning easier:

• Planning & coordination: Planning services are available through our in-house planning team, 828 Planning. These packages range from month-of coordination to full-service design and planning.

• Decor and more: Rentals including ceremony backdrops, a photo booth and mylar tape designs can be reserved through THE 101 to match your event’s aesthetic.

Pricing for add-ons is always transparent and itemized—just let us know what you need, and we’ll build a custom package to suit your celebration.
