Catering

Town Hall Seattle works with a preferred-caterer list but also allows renters to bring in an outside caterer. Choosing an outside caterer adds a $150 caterer fee, which is waived when a preferred caterer is used. A commission on food and beverage also applies — 10% for a non-preferred caterer, 7% for a preferred caterer — and the venue notes this fee is generally paid through the caterer rather than billed to the renter directly.

Pricing & Booking Terms

• Nonprofit discounts are offered — stated directly by the venue
• Outside caterer fee: $150, waived if you book from the preferred-caterer list
• Food and beverage commission: 10% non-preferred caterer / 7% preferred caterer, generally paid through the caterer

The venue does not publish a flat room-rental figure. Cost is driven by the date and day of week, whether the nonprofit rate applies, which caterer you use, and how much in-house audio-visual equipment the programme needs. The booking manager will work up a sample estimate for a specific date and guest count. Request a quote through VenueKonnex for numbers matched to your event.
