Report
I had my wedding here last year*, and couldn't have asked for a better team to help bring my dream wedding to life! After multiple times losing venues throughout 2020, my husband and I were so lucky to have landed with the Extra Ingredient gals. The most incredible food, amazing decor, professional and amazingly supportive staff - seriously, if you're in the market for a Seattle-area event venue, this is it!
*Our wedding was in May 2021, just as restrictions were loosening and a couple months before the Delta variant hit the area. All of our guests were either vaccinated or tested negative prior to attending, and the open airflow of the space allowed everyone to enjoy the party mask-free. The Extra Ingredient staff did an excellent job making sure we followed all of the protocols, kept everyone safe, and still had fun.
