SEATTLE'S LAST WOODEN FERRY
SEATTLE'S LAST WOODEN FERRYThe MV Skansonia is Seattle’s premier waterfront venue, with sprawling, panoramic views of the Emerald City skyline. This historic wedding venue represents Seattle's last wooden ferry, permanently docked on the shores of Lake Union. Constructed in 1929 by the Skansie Brothers, the Skansonia ferried cars and passengers between Vashon Island and Point Defiance for decades, before finding its permanent docking place on Lake Union and beginning its new career in event hosting. With its signature center bar, polished wood floors, a large outdoor deck, and a postcard view of the Seattle skyline, the Skansonia is the embodiment of iconic Seattle. While staying true to its nautical roots, the MV Skansonia offers the perfect backdrop for weddings, corporate parties, golden hour happy hours, and other celebrations on the Seattle Waterfront.
