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

This is such a beautiful venue and extremely unique. The staff, especially Diana, are an absolute pleasure to work with and truly take the time to make sure your day turns out perfect. This venue comes with it all. We used linens, chairs, tables, dishes, candles, and even easels. Having so many things in one place made it extremely easy for us to set up and prepare without stress. I would 100% recommend this venue. We received so many compliments on the venue and the guests really enjoyed being somewhere with a bit of charm.

Love the Stables! We added minimal decorations because the site is so great. They have inside and outside areas that allowed for a fantastic party! Very reasonably priced!

Emerald City Trapeze is seriously one of the most magical venues in Seattle. I visited so many venues over the last couple of years for other weddings; however, I have to say that the natural beauty of Emerald City Trapeze is just unmatchable. The location is prime, as it is just minutes from I-90, I-5, and downtown. My guests loved the fact that they could fly in and visit the city and then find easy parking for the wedding. My wedding took place on a beautiful, sunny, fall day so the lighting inside the building was excellent. My photographer loved it! The cost of the venue is quite reasonable compared to other ballrooms, outdoor retreats, and hotels in the area. One of the most interesting things about the venue is the fact that Emerald City Trapeze is a working trapeze school! So cool! It meant that we were offered aerial artists, circus performers, a trapeze show, custom lighting and projection, and incredible ambiance without having to buy a bunch of stuff to create the perfect 'vibe'! You kind of have to see it to believe it... it's definitely unique. If you like to party and dance, this is one of the best venues for it. They have professional lighting and sound and it was SO cool. I loved the fact that my guests really got into it. If they needed a break from dancing, they headed upstairs to one of the balconies to enjoy the views of the dance floor. I highly recommend visiting the venue to meet with one of their staff members. They will give you a tour of the venue, hopefully during one of their classes (Free trapeze show! Whohoo!)! I nearly signed up for a class while I was watching. It was incredible! Overall, I give it 5 huge gold stars!

I was the DJ for a couple where the groom was deaf as well as many guests. It was a great venue to bring visual stimulation. There is so much that you can do with this space or you can just enjoy the natural look which is stunning as well Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs
