"The Harbor Club Bellevue was a perfect fit for our 2009 Dinner and Auction.
We enticed potential attendees into coming by letting them know they could both make a difference for the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society as well as enjoy an evening at this high class, exclusive club. Through our newsletter to our members, we shared photos that showed off the club's gorgeous, panoramic views. We printed up an article about that night's incredible four course menu, with information on the chef's background and expertise.
The Harbor Club featured our event in their newsletter that was then sent out to their membership, and also allowed me to share the Society's vision and purpose to their memberships gathering at their "Cocktails and Conversations."
With the Harbor Club's help, we were able to display both information about our auction and a few auction items to entice all the people who work in the Symetra Building.
Did this help attendance? Absolutely! During this downturned economy, our attendance was up by 40% thanks to the Harbor Club.
The night of the event, guests raved about the venue, the service and the food. I had one gentleman tell me he'd been to at least forty auctions in his life and that his dinner that night at the Harbor Club surpassed them all! Now that's a true testament to exquisite cuisine!
We sold out our event and increased our net profit 65% over and above the previous year's auction.
We will be back again next year and know we will sell out again, thanks to the Harbor Clubs genuine serive."

"They were fantastic. Food was excellent. We really shopped the venues before selecting them and nothing else came close when considering the sophistication and ambiance."
"This is just a short note to say thanks so much for a great experience at both the Community For Youth auction at the Seattle Harbor Club and the Eton School auction at the Bellevue Harbor Club. I simply can not say enough about the service and the quality of the food. Outstanding. Otto and Chris and their crews were fantastic. There was not one thing the auctions asked for that was not taken care of immediately. 
"As the founder of the American Cancer Society's Good Times for Goodtimes Wine auction we could not have chosen a better venue for our annual event. The ambiance in the club sets the mood for a top dollar experience, -and top dollar is what we got from our donors. 
"I want to thank you again for doing such a great job helping us with our auction last week. You made the entire experience one of our best ever and it was the most successful auction we’ve ever had as well. Your flexibility and eye for detail made it a great experience for all of us. Thank you!"
