No, and that's the point. The night moves: the main hall for the party, the speakeasy upstairs or the back venue, each with its own vibe. If you want everyone seated in a single hall from start to finish, we're honestly not your venue, and we'd rather tell you here than after a tour.

We host beautiful weddings, and we're honest about which ones. There's no single hall where 100+ guests sit at tables for the ceremony and stay put all night: with dinner tables set, ceremony seating maxes around 50, or about 80 chairs only. What works incredibly well: ceremony in one room, then everyone flows into another space for dinner, drinks, and dancing until 2am. A wedding that feels like a night out, not a banquet.

Depending on your setup, we can accommodate 50 to 300 guests. The Main Hall fits up to 120; the middle tier pairs the Main Hall with your choice of the Speakeasy upstairs OR the Back Venue (same price) and handles up to 250; the Whole Building goes up to 300.

Two ways. Any night with a bar is a package: six hours, one flat number, with the bartenders, a security guard in every room you open, the furniture, the sound, a manager and the cleanup already in it, priced by which night and how much of the building. Dry bookings, or beer and wine you pour yourselves, can go by the hour Monday to Thursday with a two hour minimum. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are always packages. There is no service charge, which other Seattle venues add at 20 to 23%, there is no food and drink minimum, and you have the room until 2am.

No. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are packages, and by the hour is Monday to Thursday only. Here is the plain math for why. Six hours off the hourly card plus the cleaning fee is $1,700, $2,030 once a guard is in the room, and there is still nobody behind the bar. The Sunday to Thursday package is $1,750 with the bartender and the guard already in it. A rate card that loses to its own package is a fiction, so we stopped pretending. The hourly card stays for what it is genuinely good at, which is Monday to Thursday daytime and short bookings.

Hourly bookings are dry, or beer and wine you pour yourselves, Monday to Thursday only, with a two hour minimum. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are packages. Any bar at all is a package. Every package is six hours, and you can add hours when you book.

Every package is six hours with the bartenders and security for the rooms you book (the Main Hall is 1 licensed bartender and 1 guard, two rooms is 2 and 2, the whole building is 2 bartenders and 3 guards), tables, sound, the screen, a manager and the cleaning inside. Sunday to Thursday is $1,750 for the Main Hall up to 120 guests, $2,650 for two rooms up to 250, or $3,550 for the whole building up to 300. Friday is $1,950, $2,950 or $3,950, $1,000 under Saturday at every size. Saturday is $2,950, $3,950 or $4,950. On January 1, 2027 Friday goes to $2,950, $3,950 and $4,950, Saturday two rooms goes to $4,950 and the Saturday whole building to $5,950. Extra hours are $350, $550 or $700 by footprint with the staff already inside. Setup hours, for time with no guests in the building, are $250 at any size with the manager only. Two rooms means the Main Hall plus your pick of the Speakeasy upstairs or the Back Venue. Book before December 31 and you keep this year's number, even for a 2027 date. The bartender is part of every package whether or not you use them, so a dry event pays the same number.

Rooms are the price, said plainly. Every room you open gets its own security guard, so nobody wanders into a room they should not be in. The Main Hall is one bartender and one guard. Two rooms is two bartenders and two guards, so the bar line never backs up. The whole building is two bartenders and three guards. That is staffing, not a markup, and it is printed on the page so you never find it on an invoice instead.

The Main Hall is $250 an hour, two rooms is $350, the whole building is $450, plus cleaning of $200, $300 or $400 by footprint. Monday to Thursday only, two hour minimum. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are packages. Hourly is dry, or beer and wine you pour yourselves. There is no bar on an hourly booking. Any bar at all is a package, and the package is cheaper than building the same night by the hour.

We host events until 2am. We do not host after hours events beyond that.

No early access. The time you book is when the studio manager is scheduled to arrive. If you show up before your window starts, you won't be able to get in. Make sure to build setup time into your booking. On a package you can add a setup hour for $250, whatever you booked, as late as the day before, with the manager on site and no bar or security. Setup hours are only for time with no guests in the building. Any hour with guests is a staffed hour.

You get a 15 minute grace period to load out. On a package, extra hours are priced upfront: $350 in the Main Hall, $550 for two rooms, $700 for the whole building, staff included, added up to 7 days before your event. Inside 7 days we check with the staff, and if they can stay it is the same price. Decide on the night instead and it is one and a half times that, billed in full hours. If your guests are out and you are only packing up, it is $500 an hour on the night, or $250 if you booked that hour by the day before. A setup hour is only for time with no guests in the building, and the manager on site makes that call. On an hourly booking, overtime bills in one hour increments at 1.5 times your hourly rate, so if you think you might run long, adding the hour upfront is the cheaper move. All events end by 2am.

Yes. The host who booked, or a designated adult you name in advance, must be on site for the entire event, from when the first guest arrives until the last guest leaves.

The studio manager is on site to help your event run smoothly, things like setting up chairs and tables, basic audio, and helping you find what you need around the venue. They are not a full service coordinator and won't handle décor, staging, or a complete event install. Keep in mind it's one person, so plan your setup time accordingly. If you need a full setup, we recommend building in extra time or hiring an event planner or decorator, and we can connect you with trusted vendors.

You bring your own bottles and our licensed bartenders serve them, hard liquor included. Your own bottles are for private, invitation only events. Outside bartenders are not permitted. Events serving alcohol follow WA State Liquor Board rules, require security booked through us, and you provide your own WA banquet permit.

No. Any show or event where alcohol is being served must be 21+ only. The exception is private banquets: weddings, family parties, and similar gatherings. Not sure which category your event falls into? Reach out and we'll figure it out.

Yes, and on a package it is already in the price: one guard for every room you open, so one in the Main Hall, two for two rooms and three for the whole building. On an hourly booking a guard is $55 an hour per room and only required if you run past 10pm. Security is booked through us.

Smoking, drug use, weapons, and illegal substances are strictly prohibited anywhere on the property.

Yes, you're welcome to move things around to fit your setup. All furniture must be returned to its original position before the end of your rental.

A signed agreement plus a deposit locks your date. A 50% deposit locks your date. For larger events an additional security deposit may be required, and we'll let you know upfront. The deposit is non refundable, but it's never lost to a date change: you can move everything you've paid to a new date within 12 months instead. The balance is due 14 days before your event.

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing, email is fine, during business hours Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. The booking deposit is non refundable, but instead of cancelling you can transfer everything you've paid to a new date within 12 months (one transfer, requested at least 14 days before your event, no fee). Cancel 14 or more days before your event and anything paid beyond the deposit is refunded; less than 14 days out, all payments are non refundable. Security deposits are refunded within 14 business days after a satisfactory post event inspection.

No standard deposit is required. For larger events, we may require a security deposit, and we'll discuss this during the booking process.

Clients are fully responsible for any damage that occurs during their rental. Repair or cleaning costs beyond the deposit will be billed directly.
