Venues in Arlington
- Eagle Mountain Venue. Roughly 150 to 200. States you may bring a caterer of your choice or provide your own food. Their site describes a large gravel driveway as perfect for vendors like food trucks, and there is a covered twenty by thirty prep kitchen with a sink, prep counters, two fridges and a warmer.
- Sadie Lake Weddings. States plainly: please use vendors of your choice. Their suggestion list already includes Veraci, Gusto and Arbia — three wood-fired operators — which tells you both that the format works there and who you are up against.
- Stilly Brook Farm. Up to 150, with a buffet room and prep kitchen for the caterer’s use.
- Jackson Manor. Do not pitch — outside caterers are not permitted.
The far north of our range, and worth the drive for two venues whose published policies are about as welcoming as they get.
How a wedding runs
We arrive early, site the oven where the venue and fire marshal are happy with it, and light the fire about an hour before service so it is at temperature. Pizzas come out continuously through cocktail hour and dinner, roughly ninety seconds apart, so nobody queues for long and nothing sits going cold.
Arlington sits in Snohomish County, so temporary food permits go through Snohomish County Health Department, and open-flame cooking needs fire marshal sign-off. We carry our own licensing and deal with that paperwork.
