"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!" - Amy G.
"My daughter had her wedding 8/28/22 and these 3 women were incredible! I can't thank them enough for a wonderful day & creating such a perfect memory for our family & friends. The food was amazing and the decor was lovely. My husband left his cell phone at the venue and on her way home, Allegra (coordinator) drove to our hotel and delivered his phone to him. Talk about going above and beyond!!! Thank you ladies!" - Kim Vincent
"There is literally no better team to work with for your wedding! Due to covid, I replanned my wedding FOUR times, WHILE my husband was deployed twice AND I was in another state. These ladies supported me as if I were family. They made everything happen despite countless changes, they were so fair with prices, and went above and beyond in absolutely every way they could. My husband and I will forever be grateful to this team and will never forget all they did for us . They did our decor, catering, bar, flowers, cake and anything else we needed!! Would recommend above anything!!!" - Emma B.
"We had our wedding here and highly recommend this venue. They are a one-stop-shop that provides the venue, catering/bar/cake, and floral/decor all in-house. We hired Allegra as our day-of coordinator and she was excellent. All staff were professional and friendly. Our guests raved about the food (specifically the salmon and mashed potatoes) and the setting. It's right on the shores of Lake Union with a cool covered patio that overlooks the water. The indoor space can be enclosed or they can open up the wall facing the lake. It's perfect for Seattle since you don't have to worry about the weather." - Jessica J.
"I was a guest at a wedding held here & cannot recommend it/& staff highly enough! First off the space was intimate and picture perfect for a wedding reception. Right on Lake Union with a large deck overlooking the water, boats, and cityscape. Really beautiful! The catering was phenomenal. The best food I’ve ever had at a wedding. Loved their deviled eggs & creative little “caprese”’ skewer appetizers! Dinner included two lovely, fresh salad options that looked as if the ingredients had come from a garden in the back. There was also a delicious vegetarian lasagne, grilled asparagus & a perfectly cooked beef filet, etc. The double-sided buffet line moved everyone through swiftly, one table at a time. Friendly & helpful service from the staff throughout the event. Lastly the decor with all kinds of clever & classy touches helped create an elegant feel to everything. Overall a perfect venue for a wedding reception or other special party. A++!" - Anita N
"These ladies are the best to work with! Super responsive, knowledgeable with latest trends, and a full service event planning service. They've made everything stress free and seamless. They always have answers and a solution. Couldn't recommend them more!" - Stephanie S.
"Attended a wedding here last night and it was just about as perfect as an event can be... beautiful setting with a lovely outside area. The staff was attentive and friendly and the food was very good. Highly recommend this venue for any gathering!" - Denise Barnett
"Incredible venue!! Wow - everything about Eventide was perfect for our wedding. The site was beautiful, it was just an amazing setting for both the ceremony and reception. Allegra was so helpful throughout the planning process and always available to answer questions. Dinner and drinks were incredible, and the staff was so attentive the entire night. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the venue and how beautiful it was. We highly recommend them as our wedding was perfect." - Cheryl B.
