The EXTRA Ingredient Testimonials
We held our daughter’s wedding reception at Eventide in early July. Our experience with Allegra and the staff there was awesome.
Not only is the venue is beautiful, everyone on staff was flexible and attentive to what we wanted for our event and making it happen. It went off without a hitch and all our guests had a fabulous time. You are in good hands with Eventide.
I highly recommend working with Allegra and the team there.

Had our wedding here just a little over 2 weeks ago, and it was the best wedding we could have ever asked for.
The venue was beautiful, everyone really enjoyed the patio, and we love the access to the dock for stunning pictures.
Food was amazing, nobody left hungry. Massive shout out to Allegra, Kat, and Elizabeth for being the dream team to work with. They are all always responsive to any questions or comments along the planning process, and always do their best to accommodate our ideas.
We’re so glad to have this team and this venue for our wedding ❤️❤️

This site provided incredible support in hosting my father’s memorial service and reception. I was supported thoroughly in each step of the planning, and it went off without a hitch.
I cannot say enough positive things about the team at the Extra Ingredient, I am endlessly grateful for them.

Hi Allegra, Kat, and Elizabeth!
Brandon and I want to say thank you so much for all the hard work, love, and care that you put into preparing our wedding yesterday. Everything was so beautiful and we had such a wonderful wonderful time during this important day of our lives.
Allegra – Thank you for always being on top of everything, making sure everything is coordinated, and always keeping track of the timeline throughout the day. You put our minds at ease and made us able to relax and enjoy the day without having to worry whether everything is going to be running smoothly. Especially your constant reminder of doing whatever feels most comfortable to us, and making sure both of us have enough time to eat so we won’t starve at the end of the night!
Kat – Thank you for all the beautiful decorations from the arch, flowers, bouquets, table settings (everything in the space, really!), and coordinating all the other services we had in our wedding. It was beautiful, it was perfect, it was everything we could have asked for. Thank you for being patient with us who came up with a wedding color theme that is a little bit difficult to match 🙂 We’ve got many comments from our friends and family of how beautiful the venue and the setting was, so thank you..
Elizabeth – Thank you for all the delicious food!! We’ve heard stories from friends and families who were starving on their wedding day, but we were nowhere near hungry during the entire festivities! Everything was amazing, and you and the staff made sure that we got our food too and everything was tasting good.
Please extend our thank you for all the staff who helped us throughout the celebration last night. We couldn’t thank you all enough 🙂
Cheers,
Sarah & Brandon

Our office held a belated holiday party at Eventide Lake Union in January. It was fabulous! Eventide worked with us to keep the holiday spirit going with festive decorations & centerpieces, a signature holiday cocktail, and a roaring fire on the deck. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and it was truly a pleasure working with them from the planning stages to the execution of the event. We’re already looking forward to next year!

We had my wife’s 50th birthday here. 80 guests and the crew took excellent care of us! Delicious and beautifully garnished food, warm and comfortable ambience, and the most perfect views of Lake Union. It was a memorable event helped greatly by the competent work of their team. If given tthe chance we would repeat it at The Extra Ingredient again.
Hermann Fernandes Pais
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!

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.

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. We had about 90 guests which felt like the perfect number for the space.
One note is that it doesn’t have great curb appeal; in the parking lot you definitely notice the noise from the nearby highway. There are no issues with noise once you enter, even outside on the lakefront patio.

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!!!

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
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++!

This is a stunning city venue with a wide variety of options for people planning and event! Staff is personable and excited to get to know you & your event.

We ordered dinner for Cinco De Mayo this week. Our food was dropped off by Elizabeth, she was super friendly and their food was amazing. The chicken enchiladas with a tomatillo sauce were so good, even my picky toddler destroyed them. We will definitely be ordering food with them again!
Rachel P.
Great food. Very pleasant staff. Tasteful and filling. I haven’t tried one thing that I haven’t enjoyed. The venue is gorgeous. The food is fabulous.
