Corporate at 1712 Studios

Corporate Event Space In Seattle For Teams Who Refuse Conference Rooms

A hotel will sell you a carpeted box, a projector cart, a per head food minimum, and a house caterer you did not choose. Some companies want that. If your team would rather have two floors of a SODO warehouse, their own caterer, their own playlist, and a room that photographs like a set, this is the other option.

Weeknight Mixer: $1,750 flat. Monday through Thursday, 5pm to 10pm, five hours, up to 100 guests, bartender and one security guard included. No food and drink minimum. No service charge.

The Building

What A Corporate Night Looks Like Here

1712 Studios is a two floor industrial warehouse in SODO, minutes from downtown and the stadiums. It is not one room with air walls. It is four spaces that each do a different job, which is why an agenda can start as a presentation and end as a party without anyone changing buildings. Fully indoor, so the December weather never becomes part of the plan.

Downstairs
Main Hall

Double height ceilings, raw brick, and a floor that holds a crowd. Full Mackie sound system, a 110 inch screen for the deck or the demo, a small stage for whoever has to say something, and a DJ booth for after they are done saying it.

The Whole Upstairs
Speakeasy

The room where the actual conversations happen. Darker, lower, its own bar. Break out sessions in the afternoon, and the place your quieter people go when the mixer downstairs gets loud.

Downstairs, In Back
Back Venue

Open and double height. Catering and seated lunch early, then clear it and it becomes the second room at night. Useful when a day agenda has to turn into an evening.

Roll Up Door
Back Garage

Load in through a roll up door instead of a freight elevator and a service corridor. Vehicles, large product, staging, a coffee cart, or a food truck parked inside. Fully indoor.

What Companies Book It For

Six Ways Teams Use This Building

Offsites and All Hands

Morning session in the Main Hall with the screen, lunch in the back, break outs upstairs, then the room flips and the day ends as something people actually enjoyed. Book hourly and pay for exactly the hours you use.

Holiday Parties

The December problem is that every hotel ballroom in Seattle is booked, expensive, and identical. This is the other option. Your caterer, your playlist, your bar, until 2am, with a flat number instead of a per head quote.

Mixers and Networking

The Weeknight Mixer package was built for this. Five hours Monday through Thursday, 5pm to 10pm, up to 100 guests, bartender and a security guard already included. People stand, move between two floors, and actually talk.

Product Launches and Press

Raw industrial backdrop, a roll up door big enough to bring the product inside, and a room that photographs like a set instead of a conference center. Sound, screen, stage, and WiFi included in every rental.

Team Celebrations

Closed the quarter, shipped the thing, hit the number. This is a building where a team celebration looks like a night out rather than a catered obligation in a room with a hotel carpet.

Client and Partner Dinners

Smaller groups take the Speakeasy upstairs on its own energy. Be honest about seating though: with dinner tables set we seat about 50, and about 80 chairs only.

The Package That Fits

Weeknight Mixer

Most corporate events in this building are a weeknight, five hours, around a hundred people, with a bar. So that is a package with one number on it instead of a quote that takes four emails.

Monday to Thursday, 5pm to 10pm, up to 100 guests
Weeknight Mixer
$1,750

Flat. Extra hours are $175, and that price already pays the bartender, the guard and the manager for the extra hour. Deposit is 50% to lock the date. No service charge and no food and drink minimum, so this number does not quietly grow by 23 percent at the end.

Daytime offsites usually go hourly. Holiday parties usually go Friday or Saturday. Same building either way.

The Honest Part

Who This Works For, And Who It Does Not

Book it if
  • Offsites and all hands that refuse to feel like a conference room
  • Holiday parties for 60 to 250 people who want to move
  • Mixers, launches, and open house style events
  • Teams that want their own caterer, their own bar, their own music
  • Anyone who has been quoted a per head minimum and felt insulted by it
  • Load in that needs a roll up door, not a loading dock and a badge
Skip it if
  • A seated plated dinner for 150 at assigned tables in one hall. We seat about 50 with dinner tables set.
  • A multi day conference needing breakout rooms with doors, AV techs, and a registration desk.
  • Anything where tickets are sold to the public or there is a cover charge at the door.
  • A cash bar. Nothing is sold in this building, including by us.

If your event sits, we are not your place and a conference hotel will make your team happier. If your event moves, this is the building. We would rather say that here than after your planner has driven out to SODO.

Three Things Every Planner Asks

Read The Fine Print. There Is None.

No Service Charge

Other Seattle venues add 20 to 23 percent to the bottom of the invoice and call it service. We add zero. The number you take back to finance is the number you pay.

No Food And Drink Minimum

This is the wedge against hotels and restaurants. No per head spend, no approved caterer list, no $12,000 catering floor before the room is yours. Bring whoever feeds your team best.

Open Until 2am

Most of Seattle stops at midnight. A holiday party that is going well does not. The building is yours until 2am and it is written into the package, not sold back to you at 11:30.

Corporate Questions

What Planners Actually Need To Know

Is there a food and beverage minimum?

No. That is the single biggest reason companies leave hotels and restaurants for this building. There is no food and drink minimum, no approved caterer list, and no per head spend you have to hit before the room is yours. Bring the caterer your office already likes, bring trays from a restaurant, or park a food truck in the back garage. The venue fee is the venue fee.

What does a weeknight event cost?

The Weeknight Mixer is $1,750 flat: Monday through Thursday, 5pm to 10pm, five hours, up to 100 guests, with a bartender and one security guard included. Extra hours are $175, and that price already pays the bartender, the guard and the manager for the extra hour. If you do not need bar service, The Weekday is $1,200 for four hours Sunday through Thursday, up to 120 guests, Main Hall plus cleaning, with extra hours at $250.

Can we just rent by the hour for a daytime offsite?

Yes. Dry hourly rates are $250 an hour for the Main Hall Sunday through Thursday and $300 an hour Friday and Saturday. Main Hall plus the Speakeasy is $350 and $425. The full building is $450 and $550. Cleaning runs $200 to $400 depending on how much of the building you use. If you want to add the bar later, it is a flat $895 up to 100 guests, $1,395 for 101 to 200, and $1,895 for 201 to 300, which covers bartenders, guards, and full bar setup for up to six hours.

How does alcohol work?

You bring the bottles on every package and our licensed bartenders serve them. Hard liquor is welcome. There is no per guest alcohol fee any more, bar service is included in the package price. Outside bartenders are not permitted and nothing can be sold, so no cash bar and no drink tickets exchanged for money. You provide a Washington banquet permit and we walk you through it. For dry events running past 10pm or over 100 guests, extra security is $55 an hour per guard.

What is already in the room for presentations?

A full Mackie sound system with subwoofers, a 110 inch display you connect your own laptop to, a DJ booth and setup area, a small stage, high speed WiFi, and a dressing room that doubles as a green room for speakers. Eighty chairs, four round tables that seat about forty, and two six foot tables come with the building.

Our finance team needs paperwork before they can pay. Is that a problem?

No. Tell us early what your company needs before it can cut a check and we will work through it with you. Booking is a signed agreement plus a 50% deposit. We send a payment link directly, so nobody has to hand over a card over the phone.

Walk It Before You Pitch It Internally

Tours run about 20 to 30 minutes and cost nothing. Bring your planner, see the load in, test the screen, and leave with an exact number for your date. If it is not the right building for your event, we will tell you on the spot.
