KUDOS & KIND WORDS
Featured
“Very organized, great communication re: planning and leading up to the event, flexible with regard to which rooms we were going to use, and helping make suggestions on which combinations of rooms.”
“It was indeed a beautiful and magical night and your venue, Sabrina, and staff contributed directly to that. We'll certainly sing your praises through other mediums as well. We've said this before, but in interacting with other vendors they're responses in hearing we had chosen WithinSodo were always ones of immediate respect and happiness.”
“WithinSodo was so friendly, communicative every step of the way, provided detailed information and instructions for me and my vendors. Thoughtfully crafted our bar options, and worked really efficiently on the day of. I loved the portal with all the paperwork, invoices and what was outstanding all in one place! Great job everyone! The venue was incredible and I loved the choices to have multiple rooms. This was by far the best choice for a plan B (in case it rained) so I was not stressed about the weather being able to switch last minute if needed. Truly an excellent location and venue! Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening.”
“Kate and Jesse are amazing to work with. Although it can be overwhelming trying to decipher what to do with the space, Kate has all of the resources needed to make you feel secure in selecting vendors, creating the perfect seating chart for the space and even advice on the best bar menus to ensure guests have the best experience.”
“The creative freedom that comes with the space but also the amazing staff that always makes the experience 10x better.”
“Kate was SO responsive it was ridiculous. We were left on read by a number of vendors but knowing that our venue was responsive gave us peace of mind. Kate was also more than willing to share learnings from previous weddings and events which was super helpful as we were considering how to design and organize the evening.”
“Communication. I never felt like I was waiting to hear back from anyone, my questions were answered so quickly and even when we needed to make last minute changes they were all over it! Also love the unlimited walkthrough policy, super helpful.”
“Kate was wonderful and easy to work with. Very flexible, especially with rescheduling due to COVID. We appreciated Kate's transparency as rules and regulations related to COVID shifted. The space itself is also wonderful.”
“Working with Kate was such a breeze. She was very helpful and made our wedding planning process less stressful for us. We also loved how accommodating the venue was when we decided to move the date due to covid.
A big thing for us was how flexible the space truly was. We loved that we were able to work with Kate and let her know our vision for the wedding and we were able to execute everything we wanted to do with the space!”
“Love the space, the staff, and the experience they have hosting events - Kate was able to offer great options for us and suggest things we hadn’t even thought of. I was over the moon at how everything turned out.”
“Kate. It starts with people. It's a big life moment, and decisions and details were flying everywhere. Kate was a our rock. Her confidence, clear organization, creative mind and empathic approach made a highly-charged event, a perfect experience. Not to forget her humor, which cut the tension and brought on chuckles. We were grateful to have Kate on our team.
The venue is uniquely beautiful and importantly, very flexible. Yes, it happened to us. It rained on our wedding day. We pivoted without missing a beat and turned out even better in many ways. All made possible by a WS staff, who was willing to get creative and adapt quickly.
We truly could not have asked for better service and support for our special day and the months leading up. Warm gratitude for Kate and the Within Sodo team.”
“The absolute best venue!! So helpful and on top of it, made our day so special. Kate worked with us every step of the way and gave us SO much peace of mind. The venue is gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. Their bar is incredible with delicious drinks. They truly are the best people/venue you can possibly work with!! I really can't recommend them enough. If you need a wedding venue- this is it!!!! Convenient location, very reasonable prices, so many options for decorating/rooms, and you can tell they really care about you.”
We had our intimate wedding at WithinSodo and cannot say enough good things about working with Kate and the WithinSodo team! They were flexible throughout the whole process, as guidelines around COVID events continued to change, and helped us create an event that was safe, followed protocols, and was better than we could have dreamed. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here and we highly recommend it! They have many different space options and you can switch spaces as things change (because inevitably things happen!). Day-of, Kate was a gracious host, helped keep our glasses full, and supported the whole set-up and tear-down process. We love WithinSodo and we will be back when we can have a large gathering to celebrate in years to come! :)
We had our wedding at Within SODO on leap day and it was so magical! The space itself is absolutely stunning and does not need much added for the perfect mood. We rented all of the indoor rooms. We loved how each room had its own style and how they all were different. We used the Lobby for our cocktail room where we had passed appetizers, the gallery for our ceremony, and then the ballroom and lounge for dinner and dancing. We had a total of 95 guests and it felt like the perfect amount of space. We loved working with Kate throughout the planning process. She was very accommodating and helpful. Their bar service and bartender were also very efficient and spot-on on the day of. Thank you, Kate and WithinSodo for hosting our wedding!!
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!
We had originally planned for WithinSodo for our ceremony and reception, but then Covid hit and we had to change plans. We were so stressed out about how this was all going to work out, but WithinSodo was by far the easiest vendor to work with. They gave us lots of options and flexibility, and we ended up having an initiate 25 person ceremony and it was amazing.
The venue itself is so unique with all of the rooms; you honestly barely need any decor if you want that industrial look. The rooftop, lounge, and mirror rooms are a dream.
Kate was so amazing with her communication, working with us, and even helping out so much on the day of (we had let go of our day of coordinator so this helped so much). Kate even gave us some glasses of champagne to help ease our minds.
Thank you to Kate for creating such a memorable day! We are planning on holding a reception there once things are safe!
“I cannot overstate just how awesome our experience with WithinSodo was. The venue is gorgeous, with so many cool rooms - each with their own unique feel and usefulness. It was perfect for our wedding / anniversary event! We started planning our event way back in early 2020 and had to postpone because of COVID.
Kate was incredibly accommodating - she kept us well informed of all the regulation changes and updates that impacted our event through our difficult decision to postpone through to our eventual party a whole year later! Any changes we needed (of which there were MANY over 1.5 years :) ) were always met cheerfully and any impacts were communicated well. Her connections to other vendors also helped us immensely when it came to planning for some of the more unique features of our event! I would add in the middle of the delta variant surging, they ensured everyone's safety was of the highest priority.
My wife and I want to plan another event just so we can work with Kate and the team at Within Sodo again! I would happily recommend Within Sodo to anyone looking for a great space to hold your event. It was a perfect spot for our celebration, and will forever be a place of merry memories for my wife, myself, and our friends and family!”
