The Feather Ballroom seats up to 300 guests for weddings, corporate events, seminars, fundraisers and parties in a single historic ballroom. It stands at 801 First Street in Historic Downtown Snohomish, Washington, inside the Eagles Building, and comes with a catering kitchen, a full service bar and a sound system.
Seminars and company events
Companies book the ballroom for meetings, workshops, seminars and holiday parties. The room has a professional sound system, wireless microphones, a stage and a drop-down projection screen with a projector, plus free Wi-Fi. Rentals cover up to 12 hours on the event day, and the venue lists weekday windows from 7 AM to 3 PM and from 11 AM to 11 PM, which suits a daytime training session as well as an evening reception. Hourly rentals are also offered for shorter bookings. A Venue Assistant is on site for every event, and extra staff can be added in blocks of two hours or more for greeting, table service, catering support, setup and teardown.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies and receptions can both take place in the ballroom, with tables and chairs for up to 300 guests. Standard rentals include setup of tables and chairs with table linens, an Event Coordinator and a Venue Assistant on the day, and 10 reserved parking spaces across the street. The ballroom also hosts proms, graduations, birthdays and celebrations of life.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is one main room with seating and tables for 300. Its original features include a sprung dance floor, hardwood floors, an embossed copper ceiling, a grand staircase and period millwork. The building is air conditioned. The venue prices events in two bands, under 150 guests and from 150 to 300.
Catering
The Feather Ballroom works with an open vendor policy, so hosts choose their own caterer, and the team can recommend local vendors. Bartending and catering can also be arranged through the venue's own team. The catering kitchen has a six-pan commercial oven, a three-compartment sink, handwashing stations, a commercial refrigerator and prep stations. The service bar has two tap kegerators, an ice machine, a commercial refrigerator and bar sinks. Plates and silverware are included, and linens can be rented.
History and setting
The Fraternal Order of Eagles built the ballroom in 1906 for lodge and community gatherings, and it soon became a popular local venue. As membership fell, the building declined. In 2008 a Snohomish native who had already restored other buildings in town brought the ballroom and the Eagles Building back, keeping the period details and adding modern services. In 2021 twin sisters Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis, co-founders of Lamb & Co., bought the building, which now also houses their store, a coffee shop and other businesses. The venue describes itself as one of the few ballrooms of its era left on the West Coast.
Getting there
The ballroom is on First Street in the historic center of Snohomish, a short walk from shops, antique stores, restaurants and the riverfront. Standard rentals include 10 reserved parking spaces across from the venue, and parking can be added to hourly rentals.
