MV Skansonia is incredible!
We got married aboard the MV Skansonia on July 31, and we can't say enough good things about Landmark Event Co. Just five weeks before our wedding, the boat took on water, and the way this team handled it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, Trevor and Emilie were wonderful: communicative, honest, and genuinely fighting for us the entire time. They kept us updated at every step, lined up backup options so we were never left scrambling, and ultimately delivered the wedding we had dreamed of, on the venue we fell in love with. The venue itself is amazing and perfect. There's nothing like being on the water on Lake Union. The setting is intimate and magical, the bar is huge, and the dance floor is great. Our guests are still raving about it. Having the catering, flowers, and linens all through them made everything so easy. One team, one point of contact, and every detail handled beautifully. We also highly recommend using them as your day of coordinator. It kept everything seamless and let us actually enjoy our wedding day. If you're considering this venue or this team, don't hesitate. They earned every one of these five stars and then some.

Amazing venue
I worked at this venue and was blown away at the kindness and professionalism. I was impressed by how organized and well Larrisa was. They ran the event smoothly and made sure all the vendors and guests were well taken care of. My fiance and I are now considering this venue for our wedding.

We had the most fantastic wedding experience here. From the folks at Landmark and staff on the boat, to the facilities, to the location with a great view of Lake Union and downtown Seattle, everything was truly first class. It was a perfect and conveniently located venue for our crowd of about 100 people. What could be more Seattle than having a wedding on a Washington State Ferry!
MV Skansonia by Landmark Event Co•Jul 29, 2026Steven, thanks for the kind review and it means a lot to know your wedding felt this special.

The American flag on top of the boat is old and shredded, an absolute disgrace. If they put a new flag up they’ll get five stars.
MV Skansonia by Landmark Event Co•Jun 10, 2026Andrew, this is completely fair, and thank you for flagging this. We've replaced the flag!
