Events may take place in any of the three unique spaces (or a combination of the three), making the Seattle Design Center perfect for any type of event and/or special occasion.

Each of the Seattle Design Center's spaces feature one-of-a-kind amenities:

It's connected to the Atrium's second floor by a decorative sky bridge. Large events can utilize the Plaza and the Atrium together.

The Plaza can seat up to 150 guests or accommodate a reception up to 250 guests.

  • Conference Center - The Conference Center is located on the third floor of the Plaza building. It's an ideal space for corporate presentations, networking events and cocktail parties. It features an elevated stage for speakers, audio/visual capability, dimmable lights and is even suitable for daytime team-building events and corporate planning meetings.

The Daniel's Catering Sales Team will handle all details, from managing the rental of the Design Center space, to coordinating all catering components such as food, beverage, and rental items/equipment and staffing. Parking at the Seattle Design Center is free and wireless Internet is available upon request.

Daniel's Catering is also the exclusive caterer for the Columbia Winery, located in scenic Woodinville, Washington. The Winery offers a wide selection of rooms to fit your wedding, personal or work function perfectly. Daniel's Catering can provide any rental/décor items that the hosting party needs. Parking at the Columbia Winery is free and audio/visual equipment can be rented for an additional cost.

  • The Milestone Room - The Milestone Room is the west half of the Columbia Room and features a gas fireplace and access to an outdoor patio. The seating can be arranged classroom-style, theatre style, or round tables. The Milestone Room can seat up to 75 guests and accommodate a reception for up to 90 guests.

  • The Cellarmaster Room - The Cellarmaster Room is the east half of the Columbia Room . It features a gas fireplace and has similar seating choices and capacities as the Milestone Room.

  • The Woodburne Room - The Woodburne Room is a more intimate space featuring a gas fireplace, plenty of natural light and chandeliers. The Woodburne Room can seat up to 24 guests and accommodate a reception for up to 30 guests.
