We recently had our wedding reception at Foss Waterway Seaport in May of 2024. Amber was amazing to work with and answered all of our questions! We loved how open the space was and all the beautiful windows! We could not be happier with where we chose to have our reception!
Though the Seaport comes with a bit of a price tag, it is totally worth it as a wedding venue. The ambiance that the lights and maritime decoration create is unmatched by any other venue we visited. The gorgeous full wall windows look out to Mt. Rainier and Commencement Bay which guests loved. The staff is kind and considerate. We highly recommend.
We were married at a nearby church and had our wedding reception at Foss Waterway Seaport. Long before we were planning our wedding, we had always admired the Seaport building. It is conveniently located, right on the water, and the building itself is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows at the front. It wasn’t until we started planning that we looked into the price and realized how competitively priced it was for wedding venues in the area. We are so grateful we were able to book our dream venue. They staff are super helpful. Our initial walk-through with Earla (who was so kind and informative) left us with a great first impression. Adrienne and Maria were very responsive and accommodating to our many questions we asked over the months leading up to our wedding. Amber joined the team shortly before our wedding date and was there for big day and also helped us the day before when we dropped all the reception decorations and centerpieces off. It was so awesome that they allowed us to deliver those items the day prior. The Seaport is a beautiful venue that easily and comfortably accommodated our 260 guest wedding. Because the venue has a ramp leading down to the dock we were able to leave the reception via our boat (which we moored the night prior). Foss Waterway Seaport presents opportunities for distinctive ideas to be carried out. The boardwalk is a beautiful spot for sunset pictures (fortunately on our wedding day the mountain was out!). What is also uniquely cool is that the wooden boats are pushed to the sides for events, so they are still visible to guests. The only thing that we were a little bit anxious about was the fact that set-up can’t begin until 4pm (when the museum closes) and our cocktail hour began at 6pm, leaving only 2 hours for setup. But with the confidence I had in our wedding reception coordinator and her team, as well as the Seaport staff, they had everything setup and ready by the time guests arrived. Thank you to everyone at Foss Waterway Seaport for making our day so special and memorable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a large, accommodating, beautiful, and unique place for your event.
How can you ever go wrong with such a Classy Venue as Foss Waterway Seaport. If you want a stunning waterfront wedding, then there is no better place than Foss Waterway Seaport. Our Crew was excited from the moment we stepped onto the property. The elegant al fresco venue is outdone only by Adrienne Chaney and her marvelous staff . Thank you from the team at Lora's LeGarmache Catering.
