This Is Not a Ballroom.
That's the Point.

Seattle has two hundred venues that all look the same. This is not one of them. This building is for hosts who want something different: rooms with their own vibes, your DJ, real BYOB, until 2am. One booking, one flat price: $3,950, everything in. You bring the people and the drinks. We handle the rest.

One Building.
Every Kind of Night.

Traditional venues give your guests one room and one thing to do. We never understood that. Different areas, different energy, and whatever kind of night you're throwing finds its rooms here. Real phone footage from real events at 1712, nothing staged.

Main Hall
Birthdays & Parties
The dance floor hits different at midnight. This is the room your friends won’t stop posting.
Main Hall + Back Venue
Weddings & Receptions
First dance in the main hall, then a live band takes the double-height back. A wedding that feels like a night out, not a banquet.
Main Hall + Back Garage
Catered Feasts
Your caterer, your menu. Even a taco truck pulled into the back garage. Nobody charges you per plate.
Speakeasy + Back Venue
The Late Night
When other venues are calling last call, the speakeasy and the back are just getting started. Until 2am.
Main Hall + Speakeasy
Corporate Mixers
The main hall holds the crowd, the speakeasy upstairs holds the conversations. Offsites and summits that don’t feel like conference rooms.

Every kind of event. Every corner of the building. One booking. If your event moves, we're your place.

Everything In.
Nothing Booked Twice.

You know who never gets to enjoy the party? The person who booked it. This package exists to fix that. Everything is handled before you walk in, so you get to be a guest at your own party. No chairs to rent, no sound to source, no line item that shows up later dressed as a service charge.

01
A Night With Chapters
Main hall plus your pick of the speakeasy upstairs or the back venue (same price). Up to 250 guests, and the party moves. Cocktails in one vibe, dinner in another, the dance floor hits different at midnight. For the night, the place is yours.
02
Until 2am. Actually.
5 prime Saturday hours, as late as 2am. No noise ordinance hiding in paragraph nine of the contract, no wondering what your guests are going to do after 10. Setup and breakdown already inside the window.
03
Nobody Worries About the Door
2 professional guards, booked and managed by us. You never think about security once.
04
Real BYOB. Never Per Bottle.
You bring the bottles, we bring the licensed bartender, ice, cups, and all the gear. One flat bar fee covers up to 250 guests. Nobody counts what your guests open.
05
Your DJ. Our Sound.
Full Mackie system with subs, a DJ booth ready for YOUR DJ, and a 110" screen for the slideshow or the playlist. Your music, your set, no house-band rules.
06
Leave When Your Guests Do
80 chairs and tables set before you arrive, post-event cleaning on us. Nothing gets booked twice. Grab your stuff and go home.

The Building
Is the Experience.

A traditional venue hands you a rectangle. Here's what we hand you: two floors, three bars, a speakeasy, a staircase straight to your VIP suite, and a room for every hour of the night.

The flow: in through the main hall, drinks at Bar 1, down the ramp for the show, up the stairs to the speakeasy, end the night in the VIP suite.

This Place Is Not
For Everyone.

Still reading? Then you're probably our kind of host: someone who wants a night people bring up a year later, not a room everybody's seen. Here's the honest fit check before you book a tour. If your event moves, we're your place. If it sits, we're not.

Perfect For
  • Birthdays, quinceañeras, anniversaries, graduations
  • Wedding receptions, welcome parties, and non-traditional weddings
  • Celebrations of life
  • Baby showers, family reunions, holiday parties
  • Hosts who want their people, their food, their playlist, until 2am
  • Any private celebration with an invite list, up to 250 guests
Not the Right Fit
  • Ticketed public events (selling tickets online or at the door)
  • Cash bars or any alcohol sales
  • Cover charge parties or club nights promoted to the public
  • One-big-room events (if everyone sits in a single hall from start to finish, a ballroom will make you happier)

Your party, your people, your playlist. BYOB is welcome for your invited guests. We just don't host public or ticketed events, no exceptions.

How It Works

1
Tour It
Free 20–30 minute walkthrough, Monday–Friday. See the main hall, the speakeasy, the sound. Bring your questions.
2
Lock It
Signed agreement + 50% deposit holds your Saturday. Balance is due 2 weeks out.
3
Party
Show up with your drinks, your DJ, and your people. Security, setup, and cleanup are already on us. Last song as late as 2am.

Check Your Saturday.

Tell us your date and your headcount. You'll get a text within the hour confirming whether your Saturday is open, and we'll set up your free tour. Checking your date costs nothing and books nothing, and we only message you about your event. A venue that's slow to answer now is a preview of the whole experience.

Quick Answers

Is it one big room?
No, and that’s the point. The night moves: the main hall for the party, plus the speakeasy upstairs or the back venue, each with its own vibe. Cocktails in one room, the dance floor in another. 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.
What about weddings?
We host beautiful ones, and we’re honest about which. 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. If that sounds like yours, come tour.
What if I have a big guest list?
The package covers the BYOB service fee all the way to 250 guests, and up to 250 fit the main hall + speakeasy. Over 150 guests a second bartender joins at $65/hr so the bar line never backs up. Over 250, ask us about the Full Space upgrade. The building takes up to 400.
What about bartenders?
One licensed bartender is included and comfortably handles up to 150 guests. Past 150 we add a second bartender at $65/hr so the line never backs up. That is the only extra on this page, and you see it before you sign. Our bartending includes bar set up, ice, compostable cups, and all the gear; you bring the ingredients (including garnishes), your signage, and your WA Banquet Permit (we walk you through it). Hard liquor is welcome too, and all alcohol, spirits included, is served by our bartenders. Outside bartenders are not permitted.
Can I add more hours?
Yes. Additional Saturday hours are $425/hr. Most parties find 5 hours is the sweet spot with setup and breakdown included.
How do I lock in my date?
Book a free 20–30 minute tour first. If it’s a fit, a signed agreement and 50% deposit ($1,975) hold your Saturday. The deposit is non-refundable, but if plans change you can move everything you’ve paid to a new date within 12 months instead.
Do I need to be there the whole time?
Yes. The host who booked (or a designated adult you name in advance) stays on-site for the entire event, from first guest arrival to last guest out.

Saturdays Go First.

One package per Saturday, and the hosts who want something different get there first. Come see it in person before your date is gone.

If your event moves, we're your place. If it sits, we're not.
