Planning Your Event at WithinSodo

Questions & Answers

FAQ Booking Your Event

Do the Ballroom & Lounge open up into one larger space?

The Ballroom and Lounge can be opened into one large space using a wooden accordion-style wall. When retracted, the rooms flow seamlessly for larger ceremonies, receptions, or dance parties.
Note: two structural posts remain in place when the wall is open. You can see this setup on our Photos page.

I am in the neighborhood, can I stop by and take a look?

We’d love to meet you in person—but all tours are by appointment only so we can give you our full attention. You can book a tour here or reach out directly to find a time that works!

How much is my deposit?

Your rental deposit is typically split into two parts: half is due at signing, and the remaining balance is due two weeks before your event date.

Because our pricing depends on which rooms you choose, we’ll send a custom link to your contract and invoice after your tour. Once that’s sent, your selected date is automatically placed on a soft hold—which means you’ll have first right of refusal for that date for up to 24 hours after being notified of any other interest.

Bar deposits are handled separately—see Bar & Catering Policies for details.

To secure your date of choice, you will need to sign our contract and remit half the rental fee, with the second half being due a week prior to your event date.

the Concept

The execution of a “flex space” required careful consideration to conform to as many different concepts as possible. The addition of kitchen and bar facilities as well as a rooftop deck brings an entirely new level of versatility and something unique to the Sodo neighborhood.

When WithinSodo was conceived, the Sodo building had existed as a metal shop, an industrial equipment sales location, and a warehouse for furniture storage. The bones were strong, the space open, and the character authentic. Highlighting the natural materials and creating a “function through form” design was the goal. We wanted to build a space that could adapt to and house a wide variety of events, from an hour-long photoshoot to a day-long corporate retreat and everything in between.

The finished space consists of four dividable rooms of 900-1400 square feet each, a 3000 square foot roof deck, five bathrooms, a caterer’s kitchen, three built-in bars (or optional satellite bar), a 20' projection screen, and audio ran throughout. With a total capacity of 625 (450 downstairs and 175 upstairs), WithinSodo caters to almost any type of event you can imagine.
