Landmark Event Co.
General Information
Description of the Host Property:
Landmark Event Co. operates an array of event venues throughout Seattle and the surrounding areas, focusing on weddings and company events. The mission of Landmark Event Co. is to save historic buildings from demolition and redevelopment by turning them into event spaces. The company was born when the founder, Dhruv Agarwal, fell in love with the Fremont Foundry, a dilapidated artist colony in Seattle’s quirky Fremont neighborhood. Dhruv purchased and renovated the building with the intention of housing the office of True Brands, his other company, but the renovations were so expensive that another purpose for the building was needed in order to make it affordable. Turning it into an event venue was the solution, and the rest is history. Landmark Event Co.’s venues include a docked wooden ferry (Skansonia) and a working organic farm (Fox Hollow). Landmark is also proud to now be the owner of Herban Feast Catering, a long-time favorite in the Pacific Northwest.

Description of the Location:
With a thriving food-and-drink scene, eclectic neighborhoods and a stunning coastal setting, Seattle is a dynamic urban enclave nestled in the Pacific Northwest. The city is bounded by Lake Washington in the east and Puget Sound to the west, an ideal location for water recreation and sight-seeing cruises. Find top attractions like Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum in Downtown Seattle.
