Venue Features
The scene:
At the Corner of Main Street and Nord Alley, our venue envelops guests with a sense of true vintage Seattle charm. Exposed brick and custom wood walls provide the charm and character for an unforgettable experience. Many choose a darker, moody, romantic lighting in our venue for a cozy setting amongst the brick and dark beams, but tall ceilings and a bay of casement windows can be used for a bright summer-in-the-city ambience.

The neighborhood is a beautiful setting for any event and is home to some of the finest bars, restaurants and independent shops in Seattle.
Design:
Located in the 132 year old Globe Building in historic Pioneer Square, The Culinarium is an intimate and romantic space, where any vision can come to life.
Standout venue features:
The Culinarium is located on one of Seattle's most iconic photo-ops: Nord Alley in Pioneer Square. We are a hub of brick backdrops, romantic first-looks, and wedding party photos. With creeping vines, original brick and vintage signage, Occidental Square is one of the most beautiful sceneries for a city wedding.

Extra perks:
Tables and custom (and very comfortable) folding chairs can be included with your rental.
