Mount Baker Community Club

I had a great experience working with mount baker community club to host my nonprofit annual formal this past weekend! Everything from coordinating the event to finalizing the logistics of the venue was extremely smooth. The banquet hall was set up with the structure as discussed and everything was ready to go on time. The banquet hall has a very warm and homey ambience. My event hosted about 100 people and we could have easily fit an additional 50 people into the hall. The kitchen and entrance area is very quaint and welcoming. I highly recommend using this venue during the daytime because the lighting and windows is phenomenal. The evening dim lights are a bit dull but still creates a very homey vibe.Will definitely be planning future events with Mount Baker community club in the future!

Great venue - for kids events and lots of local community gatherings. Has been a great resource to meet new people in the community and take part in some fun events. Film nights, historic tours, Candidates Forum, Pot Luck events and the Christmas ships add to the magic of the festive season.Lots going on for people in the community and great venue for off-sites, weddings and parties. Mount Baker is a real gem of a neighborhood and the Club adds to the sense of community.

Fantastic place for a wedding! Quite the lovely venue we've got here! There is a second private story for all your creepy needs but it does cost extra. Keep that in mind. The interior has been well-maintained with no flaws that immediately come to mind. I mean, it's an old building so I'm not going to hate on the bathroom wallpaper or rickety windows.I think the only thing that was missing was some outdoor space. I wish there was some place to put a deck or balcony or something. Would've been a nice touch.

Ours was the second wedding in the family to be held at Mount Baker Community Clubhouse, and for plenty of good reason.It's a beautiful building, simple, Craftsman style, full of windows as the best feature, and beautiful wood floor. It feels like a place for family and friends to gather, and everyone loved it, despite the fact that we managed to get married on the hottest day this summer. The venue manager and staff are nothing but helpful, answering a million questions from a whole summer's worth of brides and more. We were always treated with prompt helpful answers, we never felt like a number. Not to mention the fact that they helped me connect with our caterer, Madres Kitchen/Events, which was a very happy marriage, since they already knew the venue well.

Nice pictures sure make things seem much prettier than IRL, don't they? There are many "charming early century" structures but not all are that interesting, atleast to me. This one is pretty simple and plain, with mostly different hues of cold whites and grays. The wooden floor is similar to the older wooden bowling alley planks. A door hinge, or 2, could use some WD-40 and also brakes for some doors. The main hall is spacious and has nice wooden ceiling fans, though.Ma has been inviting me to attend one of the monthly vegetarian buffets they hold here. I just went to the recent one and the food was great (moist eggplant!). The rotating theme was Thai but I forgot who the catering business was this month.

Everyone knows that wedding planning can be stressful, so when vendors add to the angst, it's unacceptable. My fiancé and I had made an appointment to view the club weeks in advance and were really looking forward to checking out the venue. We arrived right on time only to find that no one was there to give us a tour. I called the number provided in my email confirmation twice before we jumped ship. I emailed our contact only to receive a vaguely apologetic response with no attempt to reschedule or accept fault. This is definitely not the way to earn new business. Needless to say, we found another venue!

I would give this place 5 stars had "Buzz Killington" from management not been a factor. The Great: The venue is large, add sun with the huge windows and this place really shines. Hardwood floors, great space for a bar... the perfect venue for a wedding, fundraiser... really any event.The Horrible: The woman from management. This lady SCOWLED from the main office that overlooks the event floor. Many people mentioned how off putting it was. Not to mention, she made herself at home, hung out on the floor while the event was going on, scowling at people. She even had the audacity to harass the bride. Its 5pm in the afternoon and she's saying there are complaints about the band being loud. They are a live band, playing in the afternoon, give me a break. I spent time outside - it wasnt soo loud that required a complaint. Walk 50 ft from the venue (houses are much further than that) and you can barely hear a thing.At the end of the day - the venue really is beautiful. It's a shame that such a bitter woman has to ruin the party. I would not recommend this place in the future and I hope they deal with the problem - Buzz Killington.

I am going to have my wedding here soon. It was not my first choice but that is only because I have never heard of it before. I was in a bind because the Seattle city parks dept screwed me in a big way. The space is beautiful and so is the neighborhood. It is across the street from Coleman park which extends to Lake Washington. The best part of the space is the manager, Sam. He is sooooooo sweet. He is also blingtasktic. You will only find out what I mean if you meet him. The second best thing about this place is that it is a big beautiful room with a ceiling that is two stories high. The prices are really reasonable at $1300 for 8 hours. This may not sound cheap but if you or your friend gets their newsletter and live in the 98144 area code, it is HALF PRICE! There is lots of street parking and they are extremely flexible with their rules and regulations. This was a huge issue with the Seattle parks dept. The city inundated me with an endless list of rules and no nos. They suck! Then there is the Mt Baker community club...Any caterer you want, including mom.Wanna BBQ outside the club? Thats cool, just don't set the building on fire. City requires fire permit.You can have candles without paying for a fire permit. Yes, the city requires this.I don't need a million dollar liability license to use a banquet license to serve liquor to my guests. I don't have to get married under a basketball hoop!!!You can also have them set up and put away the table and chairs for $150. What is there not to love?update:On the day of the wedding the person who was suppose to come and open the doors didn't show up until 5 min before the scheduled time. Then she took off to the coffee shop for over 30 minutes so we couldn't get in upstairs to hang the decorations. She was pretty lame but I don't blame the center. It was still beautiful.

Came here with several friends for a fundraiser/auction/charity event that was catered by a friend. The venue? I love "old world charm" and the turn of the century style, but no...There's one bathroom per sex, covered in wallpaper from 1992. Think: forest green and pastels. This venue needs a major renovation to preserve the classic character. The staff is excellent, and the management is excellent, I would personally never choose this venue for a wedding. I'd be mortified. Something a bit more low key, like a fundraiser, sure. But a wedding? No way. Unless you pay for a valet service, your guests will park blocks and blocks away, and come to what looks like a dilapidated home and downstairs into the main room. This venue has excellent potential, but again, needs a major renovation to preserve the classic character of the era it was built. Not a hodge podge of modern, contemporary, and classic.

I came here with my friend and her kids for a little kiddos concert.It was so cute. I had no idea what to do with this explosion of cuteness.What a great community. The cost was 5$ a person and the kids seemed to go nutty with songs and dancing and instruments. It was a pretty great way to spend a rainy Saturday morning.
