Element 79: Seattle’s Newest Swanky Event Center

April 11, 2019

There are so many amazing venues for events in and around Puget Sound. One of our favorite parts of bartending and staffing events in the area is being able to travel and get to know all of the unique venues and the people behind them.

Today we’re highlighting one of our favorite newest venues – Element 79 Seattle! Element 79 launched in November of last year, and they have quickly become a hot spot for a wide variety of events. They are conveniently located in Georgetown, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Seattle.

Decor

What we love the most about this venue is their unique and funky vibe. They marry an intimate speakeasy feel with a spacious and modern footprint. From their beautiful reclaimed wood to their gorgeous vintage bar to their live green wall – they have a ton of amazing pieces to work with that make for truly special events. On top of all of the built-in details, the space is a perfect canvas to add your own touch.

Space Options

There are two space options to pick from – Element 79 and the vault. Element 79 is the larger of the two. With 3000 square feet to play with, it’s perfect for wedding receptions, photo shoots, or large private parties. It has a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room to customize the space to your needs.

The vault is 800 square feet and is the ideal space for smaller, intimate gatherings and business meetings. It also makes a perfect bridal suite for getting ready! You can rent each space on their own, or combine them together for a larger event.

Rates

Element 79 Seattle has superb rental rates for Seattle, we love the affordability they offer with a ton of value! And, they share their rates directly on their website, so there is no guessing involved when you book with them.

Diverse Events

Another main perk of this venue is that it suits so many different types of events. We have done corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, fundraisers, and a vow renewal with Element 79 so far – and each event was perfectly suited to the venue. They make it so easy to customize to your liking and are great at working with outside vendors to bring in unique elements.

Amazing Staff

Melissa and Kori make up the dream team for this woman-owned business, and we just love working with them! They are professional, friendly, fun, and eager to think outside of the box to help customize to the needs of different events. They have also created great relationships with other vendors, making event set up and coordination a breeze.

We are so excited to have Element 79 Seattle as a new event staple in the community. Visit their website to get to know more about them or follow them to see some of their recent events!

3 Perks of Hiring Event Staff for Corporate Events

November 30, 2018

 

Every meeting planner knows how helpful it is to have an extra set of hands. When you’re managing multiple vendors, setting up the space, tracking down speakers, and keeping track of a hundred other details –  having people to step in and get things done is huge. 

Whether you’re a small business with a single person in charge of planning events or a large company with a full events team, hiring event staff for day-of support can be the difference between a relaxed and a chaotic event. We’ve gathered the top three reasons to consider hiring event staff to help your corporate event run smoothly.

1. Jack of all trades

Event staff are experts at managing details, have a wide-range of skills, and are multitasking aficionados. That means they can jump in whenever and wherever you need them – from setting up the space, helping the caterers distribute food, doing dishes, and even taking out the trash. They are your extra set of hands (and eyes) and help make sure all the details are taken care of.

2. Integrate seamlessly with other vendors

Have you ever wished you could be in multiple places at once? Especially when the caterer needs someone to set place settings and fill water glasses, the photographer needs a run through on timing, and the chairs and tables were delivered, but no one has set them up? Event staff to the rescue. They can be the “glue” that holds your event together by working with all your other vendors, leaving you to manage the big picture.

 

 

3. Manage the bar

The bar is usually the hot spot of an event. Hiring a bartending service will keep your event professional and running smoothly. Make sure your bartender is licensed and insured. Hiring a bartending service with a liquor license, like Party on the Rocks, means they can also provide the alcohol for your event. This means one less detail for you to worry about.

 

 

At the Northwest Events Show this fall we met over 2,500 of the top meeting and event professionals in the Pacific Northwest, with services specially designed for corporate settings. Take advantage of these great resources to help your next corporate event go off without a hitch!

It was a pleasure to work with Josh. He was knowledgeable, professional yet social, and provided high quality service. He also was willing to go above and beyond to assist in the set up and clean-up of our event. I look forward to future events with Party on the Rocks and hope that we can request for Josh specifically for future events!

I had the honor of working with Party on the Rocks at a wedding recently and they are great! There were 300+ guests, and they were able to serve everyone quickly and efficiently. They arrived on time, handled all of the set up the bar areas, and were ready to go when the guests starting arriving. They were really accommodating during planning, quick to respond and really knew all of the details for the day. I'm excited to see such a great new bartending service in the area, and look forward to working with them again!

Party on the Rocks truly rocks. They were referred by our Day of coordinator and I'm so happy that she did. I can't express how hard this team works and also their level of customer service. Truly professional and I love the family feel. We had a great bartender and two servers. So accommodating and considerate. I would definitely recommended them to anyone.

- Desiree

We hired Party on the Rocks to provide setup, tear down, and server service for my daughter's wedding. Claire and her team were awesome. They were super friendly, observant, and provided spot-on service for our guests. Plates, glassware, etc. were picked up in a timely fashion, and they even went above and beyond and provided beverage service for my 87-year-old mother who couldn't stand in line at the bar! I would highly recommend Party on the Rocks and would hire them again! Thank you Claire and team!

- Jeannie C.

I cannot more highly recommend this event company! They were easy to work with scheduling and everything went smoothly. Claire was amazing and no less than a dozen guests commented to me how awesome she was and very, very helpful. Thanks Party on the Rocks!!!

- Russell J.

These guys are the real deal. We worked together for a wedding and we were thrown tons of curve balls! But these guys rolled with all of the challenges with a smile on their face. Definitely recommend!!!

I worked with Party On the Rocks recently and their bartender KaDeana did such an amazing job. Guests were commenting on how amazing the drinks were, and the clients were so impressed with how clean everything was throughout the night!!

- Torry W.

Claire and her team were so awesome. We hired Party on the Rocks to provide set up, tear down, and serving for my daughter's wedding. Their staff were super responsive, friendly and totally observant. In fact, they noticed that my 87-year-old mother's soda glass was empty, went to the bar and got her a fresh one, and brought it to her. She was thrilled and pleased! Above and beyond!

- Jessica C.

Try as I might I couldn't find a 6th star to click. Claire was wonderful to work with! I reached out to her about two months ahead of my wife's 50th birthday with a pleading, "Help I have to plan something epic and I'm unsure where to start!" From brilliant ideas, to managing absolutely everything, to the execution of an absolutely flawless event, Claire handled absolutely everything flawlessly. Ours was comparatively smaller than some of the other examples here with only about 40 guests. People were praising me throughout the incredible event and I routed all praise right to Claire. THANK YOU!
