On the water, spacious, and a beautiful place. We worked with Jordan and booked this space site unseen for our wedding. Jordan did an amazing job with not only the venue but day of coordination with our vendors. She also did the flowers for our event. Because we were planning from a distance, we trusted her to make sure everything was as it should be. We never saw the venue until two days before the wedding. We can't thank her enough for making the day a stress free, fun, event in a beautiful space. Our guests loved the venue. While our wedding was only about 50 people, there is plenty of room to host a gathering and reception for hundreds here. The cost was an absolute bargain for what they provide. Spaces for the bride and groom are great for day of prep. Plenty of space for your caterer to stage and prep for your reception. While we didn't use them, they have two bars available if you are serving alcohol. Sunset pictures on the water with the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the background are a plus. You'll only be happy you chose this location.
My husband and I got married here on 9/26/2020 and it was incredible! The space is stunning, the decor provided enhances everything wonderfully, and the food was amazing! Jordan was wonderful, and so accommodating and flexible given the current state of things. Their mini-ceremony package is such a great deal and even includes a bouquet and boutonniere. (These were also amazingly arranged). If you want a beautiful space, in a beautiful location, with an amazing staff for your wedding book Waterfront Venue!
