WOW - we are FLOORED at how incredible the Herban Feast/Sodo Park team was to work with. There's so much to rave about but some highlights are:

- Unbelievable planning staff. Matt Tamayo, Tayler Doffner on the Herban Feast side, as well as Rebecca Dashow and Amy Gilman on the Herban Design Studio were so incredible to work with. Every question was met with professionalism, and a "let's see how we can make it work" attitude. It was easy to trust their decisions, especially since we came in with large ideas around our guest count and complicated live music priorities :)
- Servers, bartenders, general event staff were so friendly, accessible, and accommodating
- The space is STUNNING. It was so so so helpful to have so much space and to have the upstairs for before/during to go hide away
- Holy cow they are EFFICIENT. We were really concerned about timing having such a large guest count, having some important moments near the end of the wedding, and at one point we were running 10 minutes early, I couldn't believe it. I barely even noticed the room flip from ceremony to reception, and that was a lot of moving pieces.
- Food was so delicious. They ended up catering both my bridal shower, as well as our rehearsal dinner as we came up on booking difficulties having our rehearsal dinner on Valentine's Day! Still dreaming about the crab cakes and steak with chimichurri
- We really appreciated that they were not strict on other vendors. My husband's dad wanted to make our wedding cake, we had a friend make our bridal party flowers (HDS provided the rest of the florals) and there's just not that many locations out there that are willing to work with you that much.

Overall - I would recommend them to everyone, for anything. They absolutely made our day what it was, and we were both so thrilled to go into our day stress-free, deeply trusting that everything was taken care of because of the Herban Feast and Sodo Park team. We can't thank them enough

We got married on a snowy perfect day in February at Sodo Park. Our engagement was 4 months long and we worked with Matt Tamayo from the venue and he made everything wonderful and seamless. He was always quick to respond to questions and point us in the right direction when we had questions. Our ceremony set up was absolutely beautiful. We were able to use some of some of their décor and some of our own. I will say they had a full warehouse of décor that was really cool, I just enjoyed doing our own crafts! I definitely recommend the Italian lights and drapes, they draw everything together. The whole place had so many neat surroundings to take great pictures! We got many compliments on the food and appreciated that we got to go to a taste testing to pick our favorite stuff. We had a really easy time with the bar. We got to pick the beer and wine we wanted and they allowed us to also do his and her cocktails which I had really been hoping to do. The flip from ceremony to reception was quick and easy. The ambiance made the cocktail hour so fun that we barely noticed them changing everything. The set up was great and I know our coordinator said they were super easy to work with. The dance floor was set up nicely to feel welcoming and fun! Bonus, the grooms room, brides room, and bridal party hang out area was really cool. It was nice to have our own area to get ready in and to relax in before the big show. I cannot say enough of how much we LOVED our experience! The venue was perfect, the night was perfect. Everything was more then I even imagined!! Thank you thank you to Matt and the rest of the team at SODO park for our making our special day so magical!!!

One of the first vendors we booked was venue/caterer – Lucky for us they were a team booking. From the moment we booked them the luck continued and their work was more than we could have ever asked for. Our guests have not stopped talking about our food for both cocktail hour as well as our dinner entrees. They also have not stopped talking about how wonderful the drinks were (we had an open bar!)

Sodo Park is a very unique special venue and to understand it is to greatly appreciate it. Our guests understood it and therefore the moments and memories captured there are way beyond something we will forever greatly appreciate. Thank you so very much to BJ and Sarah who get special shout-outs because their professionalism mixed with friendship never crossed paths and thus working together was super easy and pleasant, always. Another thing that can not go unnoticed – everyone was very responsive via email and phone and they got answers to us straight away.

I would recommend Herban Feast and Sodo Park to anyone and everyone who wants a wedding day of perfection with a touch of added Luck =)
