The new management team are awesome. They are very nice and flexible 😊👌Highly recommend this place for your events
We held our wedding pooja and garba function at this event center and were pleased with several aspects of the venue. The event center was spacious, well-maintained, and had all the basic amenities we needed. We were even able to have a havan inside for the pooja, which was a relief and a very difficult to find feature for indoor spaces in the greater Seattle area. However, there were a few downsides that we experienced. Firstly, the event center was quite unorganized and had frequent changes in staffing, which made it difficult to communicate with someone who knew what was going on. We were penciled in eight months before the event but only received our contract a week before our event, which caused us some stress. Overall, while we appreciated the positives of this event center, we recommend that future couples keep in mind the challenges we faced during our experience.
