Adieu Herban Pottery, Ola Herban Feast

Wowwy wow wow. Anyone getting married anytime soon, or planning an otherwise large engagement or shindig? Have I got the venue for you.

The 3200 1st Avenue South space that has been Herban Pottery and Patio for the last oh so many years is being taken by a different Herban, Herban Feast of West Seattle, the catering company you may have seen hanging out at the West Seattle Farmers Market on Sundays.

The 12,000 square foot giant barn of a room is a gorgeous example of how to preserve an old space while also conveying a warm, modern, environmentally friendly design. Exposed beams have a sealant protecting them, but still allow the old chipped paint to show through. The space also has little offshoots that will make excellent bar and lounge spaces. Word has it that the kitchen will go in back, under the expansive windows, and be open enough so as not to take away from the grandness of the the space.

Herban Feast takes over the building as of April 1st. Ooooeeeee, I've got half a mind to get married again just for kicks. I can only imagine the catfights that will ensue over Saturdays in August, 08 and 09.
