    From the get-go, I was so impressed with The Foundry. I initially spoke to Matt, and we were lucky enough to continue to have him as our event coordinator. I reached out to *so* many venues, and this was the only one that gave me a truly detailed breakdown of everything and a really good idea of what it would look like to have our wedding there.

    When we toured the space, we knew we found the right spot. It's beautiful inside and there's a lot of great features and room. We had a 185 person guest list, and our final count day-of was 127. There was PLENTY of space for everyone, and there would have been with our original count as well.

    Matt was so accommodating with us. He really took the time to work with us and help us customize our wedding. His response time was always quick, and I really appreciated the continual clarity with everything.

    The Foundry is run by Herban Feast, which means catering and the bar is all in-house. Initially, I was a little worried how this would affect the cost. And I'll admit, when I first saw the numbers, I was a little scared. But honestly, this was a crazy good value. The per person price for food was actually a lot lower than a lot of other places, and the food was seriously fantastic. In terms of the bar, they really worked with us and let us do a lot fo customization, which was awesome. In the long run, I was so grateful to not have to worry about food or booze and just let them work their magic! While we didn't do an individual tasting, Herban Feast has open houses for each season, and I was able to taste most of the menu items then. And yes, everything I had was delicious, and our selections were great on the day of the wedding as well.

    Overall, we were so happy to get married here and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a pain-free planning process. If you're getting married in the summer, it also doesn't hurt that they have AC!

    By far the best wedding food we have ever tried, and our guests are still raving. This is the most professional catering company that we received quotes from, and within 2 days we had been to a tasting, had a full price quote including tip and rentals, and contract signed-super easy. They are a little higher price point than most other companies, but the food is healthy and locally sourced, cooked on site, they are stress free to work with, and include their gratuity in their contract price so no surprises at the end, and will do a complimentary site visit if they are unfamiliar with your venue (we had off site catering in Tacoma). The final product is amazing and service outstanding. For reference, we had a family style menu for just over 140 guests and an open bar. Highly recommend the family style and hot chocolate bar-worked wonderfully and guests loved it. We worked with Mary from start to finish who was wonderful, responsive, and accommodating to special requests. If we ever need catering again, they are it.

    Definitely the best in Seattle!! Their food is delicious--we got so many compliments from our guests. They were also so helpful, flexible, and easy to work with. At the beginning of our planning process, I contacted a ton of local caterers and they were not only pretty much the only ones who responded promptly but also so much more personalized than the other vendors. Highly recommended!!

    I had a destination wedding and had only two days to book all my vendors. It was amazing to have found exactly what I was looking for in one tasting preview. I did not want flowers as center pieces but instead wanted some sort of edible center piece. I was so impressed with how this catering company to my thought and made it into a tasty reality. The money spent here was so very worth it.

    The communication was great. The food was excellent especially given our desire for fresh, local ingredients with a Pacific Northwest taste. Before the reception was over I already had several requests for their contact info! Everything went perfectly even though are location was a little remote.

    Martha is so nice and so organized. She really makes you feel special. My wedding will be in September and just the wedding process at the Foundry is so smooth. Any questions I have, I ask Martha and she will email back with an answer. If she cannot get back to you right away, she will email saying that it might take time. I really appreciate that because there are times I sit around and wonder if my email went through with other vendors. Thank you!
    Everyone at the Foundry is so nice and Herban Feast Catering is delicious! I had a blast at my tasting! Yummm!!!

    I had my wedding at the Foundry and it was spectacular. First of all, the venue is gorgeous and unique. Although Sodo Park is really popular, I think the Foundry provides a better experience. Guests transitioned from room to room so they were never bored. Each room has its own distinct character and purpose. We had one room for cocktail hour, another for dinner, one for cake/dancing, and a "fun" room with the photo booth and guestbook. We also had a back suite which I could escape to freshen up, or where our guests could bring their kids if they needed some quiet space.

    The food was absolutely amazing. And I like how the Foundry helped me eat! They brought the whole wedding party a plate of appetizers when we arrived and delivered plated meals to my husband and I. All my friends never ate at their weddings, so I feel lucky I got to enjoy the good food.

    I cannot commend Martha, our events coordinator, enough. She is SO experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful. She was really calm throughout the planning, which was nice to have amidst all the craziness.

    It's pretty expensive but I definitely recommend this venue!

    They were fantastic. We had a few issues with communication in the beginning but then our contact person left and the owner took over our event and everything was great. The food was delicious, everyone loved it, and the service was excellent. The oven at our venue apparently wasn’t working, and they improvised a method to cook salmon for 75 people using two baking sheets on the stovetop, which is incredible, and personally I think it tasted even better that way! Best of all I knew nothing about it! I would definitely use them again.

    We had our wedding at The Foundry and it was wonderful in many ways. The venue itself is beautiful and perfect for a couple who doesn't want to get married in a church. The size of the space was able to accommodate our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with separate dynamic spaces for each. We also had plenty of room for the bridal and grooms party to lounge pre-wedding and relax. The grooms room transitioned well into a kids space during the reception for anyone who wanted to step away from the loud music, etc. The space is also very beautiful and does not need much flair if you want to keep it simple.
    Quality aspects of this venue..
    - Parking is ample
    - food is quality and flexible on our needs (vegetarian & vegan selections)
    - Many decoration pieces that exist in the space are available free of charge (alter table, gift table w/ decorations, hurricanes & candles, chalkboards, etc.
    - staffing levels were perfect, everything transitioned smoothly with food and the bar was stocked and organized
    - bar selection was good and open beer/wine was a great choice

    A couple of points that they could improve upon...
    - responsiveness to clients with questions, agreed upon deadlines (such as layout, etc.), and overall preparedness for meetings could have improved slightly. (I was lucky to have a planner who assisted with nudging them, which helped greatly)
    - perceived value 1) we ordered italian wedding lights for the reception and 3 strands were hung for the entire room, which only had minimal coverage over the bar area - $750. 2) decided on a cocktail style food display/presentation and the food seemed "thin" the price was only slightly less than full buffet, I would have chosen the later in hindsight for more food.

    Overall good food, great space, and good service...would do it again and recommend.

    We had our wedding at Herban Feast's Sodo Park venue. Overall, the catering was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and everything was made with very high quality ingredients. My only two complaints are: the service on the night of was a little slow and the communication on the caterers end during the planning stages was not always responsive in a timely manner.

    Cost can be high with venue rental, linens, and servers. But location can't be beat.

    The food here is amazing and they definitely follow the local and organic theme that they advertise. However, with rising food costs, we found our total price varied significantly from what we were quoted. Although we were willing to pay this, and the rise is understandable, it was explained to us as though we had misinterpreted the contract, not that they just had to compensate for rising food prices. Would have been nicer if they were more honest with us.

    Also, there is a price to pay for a highly organized caterer--not always open to change. We had some special meat and produce from a local farm we wanted to use. It was extremely difficult to get them to divert from their regular ways of doing things. But this could also be a compliment. They were very concerned with upholding the level of quality and their reputation. Reaching them was sometimes tricky--although they were going through a lot of changes at the time--opening a new venue and soon opening a new restaurant. Overall they really pulled it together on the wedding day and that's what really counts. Could have done without the squabbling over surcharges and waiting for responses from emails though.

    Really good food. A little pricey for the layout we had. Guests liked it. Ran out of food too early.

    The Foundry I feel is more focused on the business transaction than the individual which was incredibly disappointing. They were hard to get ahold of, unrepsonsive at times and kept deposits that were communicated would be returned. Little things added up and gave us the firm feeling we wouldn't go back and use them again.
