Beautiful building right on the water front.

My wedding reception was held at Edmonds Waterfront Center. My wife and I toured the event space and fell completely in love with the picturesque backdrop. We were informed that the Edmonds Waterfront Center has an exclusive partnership with Shooby Doo Catering. We had two tastings with Shooby Doo. Despite seeing red flags with the menu, my wife and I pushed forward with the Edmonds Waterfront Center because we fell in love with the venue.
Shooby Doo Catering left a lot to be desired. The bread was stale, the chicken tikka masala was bone dry, the salmon was average, and the food wasnt hot. To spend $19,497.21 on food that was forgettable, left both of our families frustrated.
Since Shooby Doo was the only option for catering we felt trapped, so we prioritized the event space over the food. In retrospect, we realized we wouldnt have had the reception at the Edmonds Waterfront Center due to the exclusive partnership with Shooby Doo.
We served roughly the same amount of people for our rehearsal dinner with a private caterer who charged under $5,000. There are hundreds of small businesses in Snohomish county who are hungry to prove themselves and show off their culinary excellence. We understand you have an exclusive partnership with Shooby Doo Catering. This monopoly doesnt provide any urgency and thus results is complacency. We strongly advise you to reconsider this partnership. The Edmonds Waterfront Center is an architectural jewel. I would hate for the community of Edmonds to be priced out of experiencing one of the most beautiful venues in the Northwest due to an enormous catering bill.
We wrote to EWC personally and did not hear back from them. It's a shame that our frustrations were not dealt with and companies like Shooby Doo Catering are left unchecked.
If you are looking for an event space I would strongly suggest you check out the Edmonds Yacht Club because they do not have any exclusive contracts with caterers.

I was excited to join a year ago. The senior menu choices were good and the dining atmosphere very pleasant. With the recent changes, it is more like being handed a foodbank sandwich and spoiled fruit. My friend and I are not returning. It is very condescending/patronizing to treat seniors as bottom feeders.

Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, and always 'jumping' with action

Everzouk dance festival was here this weekend and it was a great space for the event. I would say add some subwoofers to the sound system and it would be absolutely perfect. The gelato/coffee shop was awesome as well.
