Seattle Fall Ball – What is it?

Seattle Fall Ball has become known as the Pacific Northwest Premier Black Marriage Ball where couples enjoy a fun evening of elegance that includes dinner, live entertainment, dancing, socializing, networking and more.

The Seattle Fall Ball is not a business venture, a fundraiser gala or your typical social event. It is a Moment in a Movement. The energy is positive and electric and the experience is transcending and euphoric.

It’s about a unique experience, a space created by a combination of 1) Our simple reason gathering, 2) All our differences, and the intersection where we find sameness in being Black and Married.

Seattle Fall Ballers, for this reason, come together as a type of affinity group to support each other, be in the moment with each other, celebrate, and break bread. We desire that all who attend will embody and covet the essence of the Seattle Fall Ball and the overall mission of the Black Marriage Movement.

If you registered for the waitlist, you will get an email if that happens and or we will post in the Seattle Fall Baller group on Facebook- 4/20/23)

PICK YOUR TYPE OF SEATING

Regular or VIC Seating?

VIC stands for Very Important Couple. Although we are all special in our own way, VICs are extra special on this evening because they chose to pay more to attend so we all can pay less. Without the co-sponsorship of VICs this event would not be possible.

VICs are acknowledged in the printed program and at the event.  The VIC Seating is usually located in the first two rows around the dance floor.

VIC Early Bird Rate = 400/ After Early Bird Rate = $425

REG Early Bird Rate = $350/ After Early Bird = $375

GO TO THE NEXT SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WEBPAGE TO GET MORE INFO ABOUT WHAT A VIC IS.

The overnight stay at the beautiful Hyatt is separate from the Seattle Fall Ball rate. Overnight stay isn’t required for attendance but many choose to stay overnight. It is fun to see everyone around the hotel the next day. We highly recommend an overnight stay (without kids). A discounted rate applies for the days before and after. If you have registered for The Ball, paid in full and have not received the link for the hotel discount send us an email Se*************@Th**********************.org.

If you need to set up a payment plan (beyond two half payments) or request a partial scholarship, please CLICK HERE and complete the form. Partial scholarships are granted as funds become available. Please consider a payment plan request to secure seats before they sell out.

Important Dates to Remember:

APRIL 20th: Early Bird Deadline & 2nd Early Bird payment deadline 

  • If not paid in full by this date, you will owe the 2nd payment + $25 (the difference between Early Bird and after Early rate).
  • There are no refunds if the event sells out before you are paid in full.
  • If you miss the deadline, we will hold your seats until May 1st after May 1; we can no longer hold your seats without a special arrangement agreement. If the event sells out or closes and we don’t have your payment, and there isn’t a plan, we assume it is a donation and you aren’t planning on attending. So please stay in contact. 
  • If you need special arrangements, please get in touch with us using the special arrangement form before the deadlines so we can plan accordingly.

May 1st: Extended Deadline for those who missed their Early Bird Second Payment. (2nd payment + $25 the difference between the Early Bird and after Early Bird rate)

June 1st: 2nd payment for the After Early Bird Rate and all payments for the regular rate or any rate are due.

June 1st: Ballroom Reservations will close for planning purposes.

  • When we close reservations on June 1st, unpaid people will roll over to the waitlist. We will then audit the ballroom situation, and if we find we have some additional seats or if we open up more tables, we will let the waitlist know first and then others.
  • You can still register for the waitlist after June 1
