Sodo Park by Herban Feast

My fiance and I had booked Herban Feast/ Sodo Park for our wedding... guess what didn't get to happen this year?? Sodo Park is such a cool space and plenty room for 200+. We were so excited to have our wedding and reception here, the onsite team was awesome to help us plan our perfect day! The entire staff at Herban Feast from Mary to BJ and everyone in between could not have been better to work with! From making our original amazing plans to on the fly adjustments, everyone was so helpful.I am sad we didn't get to go through with everything this year, but we will be using Herban Feast for every event possible in the future! Thanks for everything guys!

Came here for a corporate holiday party. Great venue! Very lovely decorations and vibes!!! I can imagine why it is the most popular venue for wedding receptions :) the catering was great too! Loved the food & the service!

I recently attended a wedding at Sodo Park. I'd rate the food at 3.5 stars and everything else at 5 stars. The space exudes a rustic feel with a soft touch. Dark knotty wood is set off by flowing white curtains. Brick adds an industrial vibe which is contrasted by modern furniture. The main space for the ceremony (and later the reception) has very high ceilings. The area could be very dark but those white curtains add life to the celebration! during the ceremony, the acoustics were less than desirable and as a guest in the front row, I was unable to hear the officiant or the groom clearly. On the outer perimeter, windows provide great natural light for photos, depending on the time of day. I must say that the temperature of the building was on point during the ceremony and even through dancing at the reception.Staffing levels were excellent. From people stocking the bathrooms to wait staff serving appetizers to break down staff setting up the reception - there were people everywhere! The food was okay and some of it was less than okay. The crab cakes were a highlight for me. These appetizers were brought around while we waited for the reception area to be set. They were served warm and tasty! The stuffed mushroom appetizers were equally tasty and right on point. The roasted vegetables at the buffet dinner were cooked just right and seasoned perfectly. The two biggest misses of the night at the buffet dinner were pretty big ones. The first was the beef loin. I enjoy my meat a bit on the medium rare side. However, not everyone does. I heard a number of complaints from guests at my table and around me about the meat being cooked under. The second miss was the gnocchi which was a soggy mess. Overall, I had a great time at the wedding and great food would have made it a perfect evening.

When our original venue was shut down by the city of Seattle just 14 days before our wedding we were SO lucky to have Herban Feast suggested to us. We had the pleasure of working with Matt Tamayo. Even with the major time crunch, he never made us feel like he was doing us a favor. He was incredibly professional and kind. Matt met us for our venue tour with a big smile on his face and ready to help make our wedding day the best day ever. He was sincerely honored that we were considering his two venues and when we selected Sodo Park, he worked tirelessly to put together the exactly right proposal that was respectful of our budget and gave us everything we needed to host the perfect event and have a wedding day to remember.Not only was the venue beautiful, the staff all day was wonderful. Things like set up, room flip, food and drink service and tear down were all seamless. Since the timing was so quick we did not have a chance to try the food beforehand. Luckily, we had attended two weddings at their other venue, The Foundry and were confident the food would be great. It did not disappoint. We had several guests rave to us about how much the loved their meal. We are so grateful to Matt and Herban Feast for helping us to make our wedding day dreams come true. We will certainly recommend Herban Feast to anyone looking for a venue or caterer in Seattle.

This place is great. It is a relative unknown and perfect for most events. I came here for a wedding and the set-up could not be more perfect. There were a little over 200 guests, the dance floor was very large and the ceiling high. The rustic feel was truly unique and the natural light that came in before it got dark was great!There was a "tree" that held martini glasses and the signature drink was a cucumber mojito. There was also some sections of the spce that just had couches and patio furniture that made it feel like you were either outside, or in someone's living room.Minus one star for the food not perfect the best, and the fact that the men's restrooms were a long walk away from the main facility. Otherwise, parking was easy and free, and they allowed sparklers for the getaway, so if you're looking for a fun, unqiue place to have a wedding, this is it!

My fiance's work held their company holiday party at Herban Feast. I loved the vintage look of the wooden beam construction...it gave the place a neat historic feel and I could picture the place back when it was used as a warehouse. The place was huge, and I loved how they had utilized the corners of the building to serve as little loungy nooks where people could relax and chat. Although the industrial feeling from the outside does little for it's curb appeal, once you walk inside you'll be pleasantly surprised. Definitely consider this place if you are looking for a wedding reception.

This review is coming a bit late and frankly, I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet! I got married here this past January and even before I got engaged I knew I wanted to someday get married here. I absolutely love the rustic ambiance and look, but also love industrial and modern, which this venue has all three. I love their high ceilings and the string lights look amazing hanging that high up. The way they set the space up for the ceremony and then switch it over to reception seating is amazing! We had a winter wedding, so the venue was perfect and romantic, just how I pictured it. I worked with Matt during the whole planning process, and Katie the last few months before the wedding, and they were extremely helpful and responsive. Anyone who's planned their own wedding knows how hectic and crazy it can get, even for someone who's extremely organized, and having people who respond to your million questions and emails in a timely manner GREATLY helps. I appreciate them more than I can explain! The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Even with a few inconsistencies, the wedding itself, the venue, and the staff were all amazing. I was so pleased at how everything came together and everything was beautiful. The only misses were a few inconsistencies. Because we got married in the winter, we had a good handful of people get sick that weekend and couldn't come last minute. I let the venue know about this, and while I knew I wouldn't be getting money back for their meals, I was told that we would be able to get the extra food wrapped up so we could take it to go. When I asked about it the day of the wedding, I was told they didn't do that. It was fine, but it would've been nice to been able to take some of the food with us afterward for the hotel. I'm also not a fan of medium rare beef, which is what it was, but that's just my personal preference. The entrees were probably a 3.5 out of 5 for me, but the appetizers we picked were SO GOOD (we got the stuffed mushrooms and their signature crab cakes). Wish we could've remembered to eat more of them after the ceremony, lol! Overall, this place gave me the wedding of my dreams, and I will forever have great memories of this place. Thanks again Matt & Katie!

What a beautiful venue quietly tucked away in a busy part of town. We were part of a large group gathering to celebrate the life of an amazing human being, and we could not have wished for a more lovely setting. The old-meets-new restoration is perfect. The staff was wonderfully attentive without ever being intrusive- truly great staff. The food was delicious and presented very nicely. Check this place out- it's a gem!

I had the chance to visit Sodo Park for an event we were participating in and I immediately fell in love with the venue. The over a century-old building and former Stetson-Ross Machine Company, boasts of 7,500 sq ft of open floor plan, soaring ceilings with exposed beams, and lots of character. The interior is well-preserved from the original doors and windows to the walk-in vault turned coat check room. The floors are not level so anything with wheels will definitely roll and move. The venue is beautiful and historic. If you are looking for a unique venue, this is it!

Warning to hosts: If you list "Herban Feast" on your invitation, at least some of your guests will end up at the wrong location, because their GPS navigation system (or their Uber driver) will lead them to the Herban Feast headquarters, which is about 0.7 miles south of the correct location.Advice to hosts: On the invitation, list the venue's address (3200 First Avenue South) and "Sodo Park," but don't write a word about Herban Feast.
