Yes, you can, until 10pm. The noise ordinance for Seattle states noise can't exceed 45 decibels between 10pm and 7am.
Yes, our lower level is adjacent to the driveway and open area where caterers and decorators stage their deliveries. It is a perfect spot for 1-2 food trucks.
Yes, we can set up both areas for both events on the same day. Our venue allows for flexibility, whether you are hosting a reception, ceremony, or both at Daybreak Star!
Decor is somewhat limited. We cannot allow nails, tacks or anything stronger than painters tape to be attached to the 600 year old cedar logs that extend to the roof and around the ballroom. They are sacred to us. You are welcome to bring free standing decorations and centerpieces.
Unfortunately, no. We are an active Cultural Center with community gatherings and other events that occur consecutively so, we have to be in ready state for the next event each day. Contact the Events Coordinator with inquiries if you have any questions about this policy.
Yes, we have free parking available! Our lot has 40 spots, with additional parking available along Bernie Whitebear Way. There is also overflow parking available in the North Lot of Discovery Park, located 0.5 miles from the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center.
Yes, our facilities are wheelchair accessible! We have accessible parking, as well as a lift to help folks access the lower level of the cultural center.
Yes, we require a banquet permit and certificate of insurance.
