Dream Wedding Venue
•Verified review
•Jenny C.•Oct 6, 2024
We live in Seattle and wanted to get married in the city, and were drawn to industrial type venues. I think all in all we toured 15 venues across different Seattle neighborhoods and ended up choosing WithinSodo for it’s versatility in space, it’s already existing beauty (hint-budget brides- you really don’t need much additional decor unless you really want it), the welcoming staff, the easy kitchen for caterers, its size being large enough for our group but small enough to still feel intimate (we invited 200, 140 showed) and the opportunity to have some outdoor space on our wedding day. The energy in this venue is electric and we felt it each time we visited. While needing to use the in house bar at first felt like a con because it can be more expensive than doing it on your own-in the end became a pro as the ease of having everything taken care of by talented professionals (our drinks were amazing, the bar staff even worked with us to create a secret cocktail on the menu) was well worth it-and the cost was much lower than we expected given our friend group of happy drinkers. We loved everything about spending our wedding day at within Sodo from the ambiance and the slow reveal of different rooms in the space and especially the rooftop dance party and we’ll be forever grateful that we chose this space. We can’t review WithinSodo without gushing about Kate, which feels truly evil because not everyone will get to work with her in the same capacity as we did. Kate is the venue representative but happened to be filling in for the on-site day of coordinator to plan and execute our wedding day while WithinSodo was going through a coordinator staffing change. We just have to elaborate on how lucky we feel to have been placed with Kate and how lucky you’ll be to have Kate play ANY part in your wedding day as part of the WS team. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our wedding day because Kate worked so hard and so efficiently leading up to it and the day of the wedding. Kate’s attention to detail got us thinking about aspects of our wedding day that we hadn’t even considered, and through the answers she gleaned from her thoughtful questions she knew exactly what was important to us and where we were flexible and not. She got to know us, our story, and our hopes for the day so well and by the time the wedding day came we trusted her without reservation to solve problems, make decisions, and execute the best night of our lives so that we could be present. As a wedding client you have unlimited virtual or in person walk-through sessions at the venue as you’re planning, and we found ourselves taking every opportunity not only to come see the space in person but to spend some time with Kate. Her professionalism is 10/10 but in a way that still leaves her completely approachable and fun to be around. Kate-we know that you moved mountains for us on and before our wedding day and we will never forget the love and care you gave to us. We just received a sneak peek of our wedding video and Kate makes a tiny appearance and our hearts bursted with joy when we saw this because she became so cherished in our wedding memories. While she was in the background making everything happen she was very much in the foreground of gifting us calmness, confidence, and reassurance on our wedding day.
Coolest space for cool weddings

WithinSodo was a fabulous choice for our wedding day! They provided such a great space and clear, direct communication in regards to what to expect and what we were getting. We got married in April which I believe was perfect timing weather-wise. Inside was warm but not hot and guests loved having the rooftop for cocktail hour and taking breaks throughout the night. The multiple rooms were fantastic as it allowed us to have karaoke, dancing and photobooth without sacrificing space for ppl to mingle and move about. The bar service they provided was top-notch and totally flexible. They work really hard to honor your budget and needs. Would def recommend WithinSodo for a wedding or any party that would benefit from a multi-functional space.

WithinSodo is the perfect urban space to marry your person. Kate is professional and easy to work with. She is quick with her communication, answering my questions clearly. 10/10 would recommend this venue!
One of the best creative venue spaces in Seattle!

•Kate Faoro Wright•Dec 18, 2020
I am a wedding planner based in Seattle and WithinSodo is by far one of my favorite versatile venue spaces. They have built their business around their creative customers and clients. You can combine a number of their rooms and spaces for a unique event experience all your own. Their on site bar and catering kitchen make the logistics of hosting a catered event effortless. I love the combination of industrial, open spaces and rooftop views for a quintessential Seattle experience. WithinSodo is one of my top venue recommendations to couples and I always look forward to creating and hosting events here!

Our total allowed capacity is 625 – 450 downstairs and 175 upstairs.

The Ballroom & Lounge are joined by 2 large sliding barn doors. The wall between the barn doors is permanent; they cannot be "joined" as one large space without a separating wall.

Yes, but all food must be prepared by an establishment with a catering license and/or a restaurant license. All caterers must have a catering license and be insured. All food handlers/servers must have their Food Handler’s Permit. All licenses & permits must be presented the night of the event.

We have light seating on the Rooftop Deck and the Parlor. Tables & chairs are rented separately by the vendor of your choice.

Due to the volume of requests, we give site tours by appointment only.

We wish we could do this but it just doesn’t work for our schedule to run smoothly. Once you’ve seen the space and had all your questions answered, we’ll receive a signed contract and a deposit and then the date is yours!

We have companies we like to work with however we don’t have any partnership restrictions on who you can bring in to help with your event.

Apart from any permits that your event requires, we have a standard contract/agreement. We also require every event to have a Certificate of Liability Insurance naming WithinSodo as “Additional Insured.”

Please know that we can’t wait to make your event a reality!

Our full ground level is ADA accessible, though the Rooftop Deck can only be accessed via stairs.

Yes, we have 7 spaces at our Utah St doors, though street parking is free and usually plentiful.

July, August & September

October - June

While we exclusively provide alcohol and all bar services, if you've been saving a special bottle for your celebration, we're happy to chat! There no restrictions on any other vendors as long as they are properly licensed and insured.
