Great Venue!
Amber was incredible to work with! She was responsive, professional, and had staff to support us when things had to be altered last minute. Many of our guests want to have their weddings at the Foss Waterway Seaport after attending ours!

Hi Annie, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! Your wedding was beautiful and your guests were charming. We really enjoyed hosting your ceremony and reception at the Seaport! Best of luck with your new beginning :)Sheena · Married on 05/27/2017
Foss Waterway is a beautiful venue that can be transformed into whatever you desire for your wedding. I am not the most rustic bride but fell in love with the views, and yet was able to have the elegant wedding I wanted. Earla bent over backward to make sure we had everything we needed for our special day. The space was perfect. I highly recommend this beautiful location for your wedding! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful historic venue and perfect for a winter evening wedding in Tacoma. Earla was fabulous to work with, and SO accommodating. Our wedding was perfect, and we highly recommend this up and coming venue. Our only complaint was the colder than expected temperature on our wedding day-they use giant space heaters since it's almost all windows in the venue and has no heat. We knew this would be an issue for a winter wedding, so we had warned our guests.
