About Sheraton Grand Seattle in Seattle

Sheraton Grand Seattle is a large downtown Seattle hotel at 1400 6th Avenue, adjacent to the Seattle Convention Center and close to Pike Place Market. The venue offers roughly 77,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including the Grand Ballroom, Metropolitan Ballroom, and Cirrus Room, so lighting plans often need to support big guest counts, pre-function movement, meal service, stage programs, and late-night room transitions.

What We Plan Around at Sheraton Grand Seattle

Indoor hotel events at Sheraton Grand Seattle benefit from a plan that ties the room treatment, stage focus, dining layout, and guest movement together from the first arrival moment through the final dance set.

  • Large ballroom scale: Uplighting, wash lighting, drape, and focal stage looks help large rooms feel intentional instead of empty or flat.
  • Programs and presentations: Charity events, corporate programs, awards, and sponsor moments need clean stage lighting, readable backdrops, and audio-video support that fits the run of show.
  • Reception flow: Dinner, speeches, entertainment, DJ support, and dance floor energy can be layered so the room changes naturally as the event moves forward.
