Emerald City Trapeze: A Circus Centric Wedding Venue in SODO, Seattle
Laurel and Jarrod's Emerald City Trapeze wedding is about to make your heart do flips! They chose one of the most exciting wedding venues Seattle has to offer. Nestled in Seattle’s vibrant SODO district, this one-of-a-kind venue rolls out nearly 20,000 square feet of rustic charm and endless possibilities. There’s nothing ordinary here—this is a space where “I do” seriously meets “oh, wow!”
Emerald City Trapeze is all performances and vibrant colors. I absolutely loved the colorful lighting at this venue. While this type of lighting can often serve as a challenge for wedding photographers, I found the venue's use of them actually enhanced Laurel and Jarrod's wedding photos.

A little Bit Industrial, A Little Bit Cirque du Soleil!
Picture it: exchanging vows under soaring wooden beams, with sunlight spilling through skylights above. Housed in the historic Canal Boiler Works building, Emerald City Trapeze combines old-world industrial vibes with elegance. It’s pure magic for couples who crave something totally unique.
And just when you think it can’t get any better, there’s a mezzanine crafted from rough-hewn wood, overlooking the main floor and a dazzling 600-square-foot stage. Imagine your guests gazing in awe as trapeze artists soar high above, adding a thrilling twist to your big day! This venue isn’t just for weddings; it’s a launchpad for unforgettable memories.
