The space is small, has a grand piano (Yamaha if I remember correctly) and a dedicated audience. Though it's not for everyone, it's one of the only places in Seattle that offers experimental, progressive, non-main-stream music and musicians. If you're bored on Capitol Hill and feel like seeing and hearing music performed that most of the country is bound to never hear, check out what's going on at 1412!

Rad! When I heard…read moreabout a huge event at the SODO Commerce Building I felt like such a doof. Who? Where? Having driven by it before I never realized it was a) empty and b) available to rent! This HUGE multi-level building is awesome. Old wooden beams inside give us a clue as to what the building looked like before it's massive remodel a few years ago. Covered in dust and severely lacking in electrical outlets - it's not an easy space to host a party in. But it sure is spacious and gorgeous! Each level can fit anywhere from 200-500 people and the entire building could probably host upwards of 1300 guests. It's a very raw space but I'm already brainstorming ideas for the party of the century...hrmm...

She was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls and overly accommodating with not only food allergies but also working around whatever budget you might have. I ordered breakfast, lunch, and snacks for 2 full days at the office and everything was seamless. The food was delicious and Mud personally reached out to those with food allergies to make sure we could accommodate appropriately. Melissa, Tim, and team were promptly on time, personable, and always checked in to see if anything else was needed. I will definitely be using Classic Catering in the future whenever I have events in Seattle! Thank you so much!

Krista worked with us leading up to the day and she was always willing to answer any questions we had. They were also very organized and caring throughout the whole planning process.

Krista and Prive Events- Simple the BEST!…read more My fiancee and I got paired with Krista due to the venue we picked requiring a day-of coordinator, but Krista and her team at Prive did so much more. Not only did Krista give us the most awesome vendor recommendations, which helped save us so much time in finding the perfect ones, but also she got every single detail right and never missed a single thing. Krista is simply the best, not only is she super responsive, fun to work with, but also you can tell her passion in what she does from the level of professionalism she displayed all throughout the 8 months we worked with her. We had so many questions and concerns and she was always the first person we asked for guidance and we were never disappointed! She keeps us on track, gets us to hand off everything on the big day, and even had time to ask our friends to give us a moment to ourselves after the ceremony which was so perfect because the day really did just fly by with very little alone time with just the bride and groom. We simply could not be happier with Krista and her team, her knowledge of the venue often exceeded those of their own staff, so if you are planning a wedding in one of the Woodinville wineries, hire Krista! Her and her team will make sure you have a stress free day and you can trust her to take care of everything you did or didn't think of. Thank you and your team so very much Krista, for executing our vision for the big day so perfectly and then some! We cannot thank you enough. Cheers, Fremily

I had the amazing privilege of officiating my goddaughter's wedding recently on the MV Skansonia…read moreand, yes, this is truly one of the highlight venues in the Seattle area. I'm from Indianapolis and most certainly have never had the opportunity to officiate a wedding at such a remarkable setting matched by stellar customer service and wonderful food. The entire event was exceptional from beginning to end. I will admit that I worried when my goddaughter announced her wedding would take place on the MV Skansonia - a retired Washington State ferry boat built in 1928 that has been beautifully refurbished and is permanently moored on Lake Union. I wanted to say to her "You do remember I'm in a wheelchair, right?" Of course, she did remember. While the MV Skansonia does have a small second level that is, in fact, not accessible, for this event it was primarily only used for dressing, etc. and I was able to fully participate in every aspect of the event from wedding rehearsal to ceremony to dinner to signing certificates and to the event closing dancing and social hours. I never struggled to get around and access to the boat has been made relatively easy with a wide ramp that goes up the venue (there is a bit of a steep lip - if you're not independent with a wheelchair, I recommend making sure you have some help). The set-up was beautifully arranged with Lake Union and the Seattle skyline in the background. Despite the challenges of holding an event on a ferry boat in record-breaking temps and the subsequent wedding outdoors on said ship, the event team was friendly, professional, and pulled the event off quite wonderfully. The ship itself is beautiful. The food served was tremendous and dinner arrangements were efficient and effective. I loved the woman, whose name I am completely forgetting, who helped with the rehearsal and came armed with ideas, tips, and lots of positivity. We worried a little bit as during the rehearsal a nearby tugboat made a little more noise than expected, but the day of the wedding was perfection and we even had nearby boaters stopping to watch. The wedding set-up allowed for great views and photography. The follow-up events were nicely organized. The main floor served as an awesome dance floor, while the dinner area was beautifully set up with tables and a picturesque setting. The Skansonia offers an all-inclusive venue with food, drinks, tables, chairs linens, staff, a coordinator, and more! They also note that they have a dressing room, indoor event space, outdoor event space, reception area, wireless internet, accessibility, and a covered outdoor area just in case (This is Seattle, after all). I stayed at a hotel about a mile away and was able to travel down by wheelchair largely using the Burke-Gilman Trail. There are other restaurants and sites nearby, as well. I'd easily and enthusiastically recommend this team and this venue. While I'm from Indiana, if by some weird shot I ever get married again I'd think long and hard about going to Seattle because this is easily the best venue for a wedding I've officiated and it offers an array of services, room to party, and an entire atmosphere that screams out romance. The venue has deservedly won awards and this experience was definitely one of my favorite experiences while in Seattle.

We didn't have a wedding planner and we didn't know what we were doing, either- we just met with the wedding coordinator onboard and she did everything. It went perfectly. The food - amazing. So many compliments of how it was better than any other "wedding food" they've had. The view - no contest. The price- exceptional for what you get. The venue - the ultimate PNW experience. The staff - 10/10. Fantastic from start to finish. I will never forget the night that they made possible for us. Highly recommend the MC Skansonia for an event you'll never forget.
