ABOUT
Utina Wardroom is an event rental venue located in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. In case you were wondering, it is pronounced You-Tina.
We are close enough to call ourselves conveniently located near the Convention Center. Large enough to accomodate a medium-sized wedding. Versatile enough to handle a reception and sit down dinner for a small business group. We aren't all things to all people. However, we are a lot of things to a lot of people.
We aim to fill what we see as an underserved market in Seattle -- the mid-sized, venue rental. Utina is polished enough to leave as is. Neutral enough to make your own.
January 16, 2011 was the opening event at Utina. A cocktail reception for 90.
The U.S.S. Utina was naval ship number 163 and our namesake. When she was part of the fleet, she was the smallest ship in the navy. A salvage ship -- home to and training post for deep sea naval divers. For a time, her captain was Jack Hensley.
