Would you want to walk down the aisle steps away from a sewage plant? Now is your chance!

The Brightwater Wastewater Treatment Center in Woodinville, Wash., has started advertising that it is available for weddings.

“Need a place to party? With a full catering kitchen, state-of-the-art AV equipment, dance floor, ample parking, beautiful outdoor grounds, and room for up to 260 people, our LEED Platinum certified Brightwater Center has everything you need for your wedding reception or special event,” a Facebook post reads.

But you don’t have to worry about foul odors putting a damper on your big day.

Brightwater Environmental Education & Community Center director Susan Tallarico told the Daily News that you can see where the raw sewage is processed, but you don’t smell it.

“When the treatment plant was built, they set aside most of the land for a park area. Within the natural park area there is the community center,” she told the Daily News. “It just so happens that our building and site are connected to a wastewater treatment plant.”

The center has been available to rent for about seven months, during which it has hosted about 60 events, Tallarico said.

It costs $2,000 to rent the indoor space for eight hours, and the money goes toward the center’s environmental education programs.

One couple has already booked the facility and there have been several other inquiries, Tallarico said.
