Waterfront Venue

We had our wedding at the Waterfront Venue in August 2025, and it was absolutely stunning. The views are incredible. Watching the sunset over the water, taking photos on the dock, and having the Narrows Bridge in the background made for the most beautiful setting. Our guests still talk about the venue to this day. Jordan, the venue manager, was wonderful to work with. She was always helpful, answered all of our questions, and made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. One of the things I loved most was how everything was in one building, which made the flow of the day so easy and less stressful. There were getting-ready areas for both the bride and groom, and it was seamless moving from the ceremony space to the cocktail area and then into the main reception space. It was also really nice having the brewery in the same building because we didn’t have to worry about coordinating the alcohol, which made planning much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding and would highly recommend the Waterfront Venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place to celebrate their special day.

We had our wedding at Narrows Waterfront Marina, and it’s hard to put into words just how incredible the experience was. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—right on the water with breathtaking views from every angle. So many of our guests went out of their way to compliment how beautiful the space was, especially as the sun began to set. The sunset over the marina created the most gorgeous backdrop for photos and made the entire evening feel magical.Another highlight was how easy the coordinator was to work with. They were accommodating with our ideas and genuinely invested in making the day perfect for us. We also loved that the venue offered the ability to add on extra services. We chose to include the bartending service, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The bartenders were efficient, and kept everything running seamlessly all night. Overall, The Narrows Waterfront Marina gave us an unforgettable wedding day. The beauty of the venue, the helpful staff, and the well-thought-out add-on options made the entire experience even better than we imagined. Highly recommend!

This venue is beautiful! Helped us have the most perfect wedding day with a guest count of 220. However, if you are someone who needs communication from a vendor this might not be the venue for you. The manager takes weeks to reply to any emails, unless she needs a payment from you. Voicemails will never be returned. Even the month of my wedding, I wasn’t made a priority. The communication was honestly so disappointing. You are supposed to get your despite back within 30 days after your event. We did not receive our check until 6 weeks after our wedding. She said a check was in the mail a week after it was due, but it was returned to sender apparently. Then we got a check dated a week past that date. So it was honestly super confusing, and I would have appreciated more up front communication. There is a preferred vendor list to choose from for catering. The prices looked affordable on their websites, so we decided this wasn’t a big deal and booked the venue. Once i reached out to the catering companies for quotes - i was shocked. One told me it would cost $90 / person for a TACO BAR, one told me I wasn’t worth their time if I wasn’t able to afford to spend at least $15,000, one wanted $25,000 for pizza and salad, and the last one said I should “put it on a credit card because you can just pay it off later.” That was all very shocking. I opted to go with The Crowded Kitchen out of Toledo, Wa. For this choice, I owned an addition $2,000 to the venue for a “catering buyout”. We were able to have a full staff, an 8’ charcuterie board and wonderful dinner for about $10,000. So the $2,000 we paid the venue was worth it but annoying. Overall, i love the actual venue but am really disappointed in the staff. I did not feel like i mattered at all and did everything myself.

This venue is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect setting for my wedding. I loved having the Puget Sound and Narrows Bridge in the backdrop as we said, “I do.”. Having access to the dock for golden hour photos made for some beautiful photos. The venue was a great value for everything it comes with – tables, chairs and linens + that view.. it can’t be beat. It was a hot, beautiful, but hot summer day (high of 83 degrees) when I got married at the venue and it was pretty hot throughout the venue, but especially inside bridal suite and cove (where we took a lot of our bridal & family photos). There were some fans in the bridal suite, but I wish I had brought extra fans for the bridal suite because it was HOT. It would have been nice if I had a hand fan for myself during photos because it was just super warm and I had a big hot dress on. The fans inside the main area of the venue helped when you were standing near them, and having the garage doors open helped too but the venue could definitely benefit from a few more giant fans. Other than the heat, it was a great venue. If I had to do anything differently, it would just be to bring some extra fans. It was a sweaty party, but it was a fun party! The Waterfront Venue is a great venue to host your event.

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.
