Such a gorgeous place host a wedding reception! We got married at the church parish I grew up in and needed a place to accommodate our guest list of 200. Throughout planning Lindsey responded very quickly and was flexible with our busy schedules. The Car Show Room for our cocktail hour was a hit with our guests and we got so many comments about how beautiful the venue was! Everything ran smoothly day of and our Venue Rep (Jenny) helped our Day of Coordinator with everything she needed! Couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!

The historic 1625 is an amazing venue. Lyndsey helped so much with the process of getting the building booked, finding a cater, and helped a ton on the day of the wedding. The venue itself is great, it looks amazing in the inside with wood and brick. The car room was also a massive hit with people as the older cars were a conversation starter. The venue staff were very professional and were amazing the whole night. If I ever needed a venue for any occasion I would definitely pick this one again.

Historic 1625 was a very good venue for our wedding. Very clean and elegant nice facility that decorates very nicely with simple ornaments because the structure is so rustic and charming inside. The car museum is a great option to have for the cocktail hour between the ceremony and the dinner, giving the guests the opportunity to look at the cars during this often awkward time of waiting for the bride and groom to have pictures taken. 1625 was responsive and professional in their interactions throughout the entire process. The only slight downside is that this venue is not cheap and they adhere 100% to the contract. For example, we wanted to be able to drop off the alcohol for our event an hour before our rehearsal hour. They were not flexible to allow this and we had to unload the alcohol after the rehearsal and we had to do it after the rehearsal. This made us a bit late for the rehearsal dinner. Other than that, we were very happy with 1625.

Historic 1625 is a great venue! It is a wonderful space, it was really nice being able to do our ceremony and reception in one space; and indoors! They also have plenty of parking on site. They also made everything very easy, they have the process down (shout out Lindsey). The coordinated rehearsal was very helpful. It was alsol helpful having two of their staff there on our wedding day. It was also easy finding vendors (dj, photog, caterer) who had worked there previously and were familiar with the space. Overall, highly recommend them and we were glad we chose them both because it was a great place to get married and they made the process so easy!

We have absolutely no regrets with having our wedding at Historic 1625. They’re professional, knowledgeable, and communicative; they stayed that way throughout the planning process and on our special day. The venue is beautiful and easy to decorate (Lends itself well to any design style, even a minimalist look since it is so beautiful inside and out). The layout of the venue helped to make the day flow — considering there’s space for your ceremony (And later dance floor), cocktail hour, dinner, and not to mention 2 suites for the wedding party to get ready in; as well as ample parking. I found the price point to be fair and the choice in caterers (And other vendors) who are experienced in the venue space to be more than sufficient. It’s also close to downtown hotels for the wedding party and guests to stay in. We couldn’t have been happier! It was a beautiful day and fun night.

I feel like 5 stars aren’t enough to give for Lindsey and the Historic 1625 team! They were absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier using this venue for our wedding. Lindsey was real with us, and so incredibly helpful! Always quick to respond and was very detailed and pointed us in the right directions to get everything that we needed to make our day happen. I will recommend this to anyone and everyone to use Historic 1625. It’s absolutely stunning inside and out! Thank you for everything, Lindsey! You are the best!

Lindsey and the whole Historic 1625 team were a joy to work with. They were very responsive and organized. They also made sure our whole day went smoothly and we’re flexible with a couple of last minute changes we had to our schedule. I definitely recommend getting married here if it’s on your list. The inside of the venue is gorgeous and doesn’t feel cramped.

My Husband and I loved Historic 1625 Tacoma Place. The staff is very attentive and answered all of my questions. The price was very reasonable and make sure to book the car room for your happy hour. The space is big but didn't feel overwhelming, and fit my wedding guests of 145 just perfectly. The space was very easy to transform into my dream wedding (Winter Wedding). The staff was also very helpful and handled a security issue with grace and no on was the wiser. If you want a great wedding venue in the SeaTac area I can't recommend Historic 1625 enough!!

Beautiful venue! Lindsey and the rest of the staff are so friendly and helpful. It was the perfect place for my daughters wedding. We loved the separate rooms for the ceremony and the reception. And the cocktail hour space was also very unique, and our guests loved it!

Kara Y

10/20/2022

This venue is GORGEOUS! It needs minimal decor etc. because the venue truly does speak for itself. Everyone loved it! We only had 85 guests so we did dancing, bar etc. all in the reception room where dinner is, larger weddings can use the ceremony room for dancing and the bar that is separate from the dinner space. The staff were mostly great but once we brought our day of coordinator in it just seemed like their attitude changed. The day of the wedding they also would not allow our day of coordinator to wash our chargers in the kitchen etc. if you don’t have a wedding planner or day of coordinator the venue is great! If you do just keep in mind it seems like they don’t love collaboration with planners etc.

response 10/31/2022

Hi Kara, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're so happy t...

he venue was the perfect backdrop for your beautiful wedding! It was a pleasure working with you and all of your vendors. We're sorry to hear your coordinator did not feel the same. We appreciate the feedback as we continue to strive to be our best and offer not only a great space for events, but exceptional service. We wish you and Matt a wonderful, long life together! Congrats again!

A beautiful venue with great staff! Our cocktail hour in the classic car room was a hit. Also, one of the few venues with AC.

This venue was amazing! The wedding went off without a hitch. They have recommended food vendors, and Mama Stortini's was the vendor we chose. They were so organized and good, I never even talked to anyone with them, they just did their job. I loved having the whole place rented out. We included the Car Room for the cocktail hour. Having a climate controlled area for a wedding in July was very important to us. Plenty of onsite parking. We received so many compliments on the space and how pretty everything was. We didn't even have to "over decorate" as the building was a statement all by itself. I would definitely recommend this venue.

This venue goes above and beyond making sure your day goes smoothly! From planning to day of, I was not disappointed with how everything turned out. Lindsey is amazing and so is the staff that worked our day! Definitely recommend this place. Everyone could not stop talking about how amazing the venue was.

My Fiancé and I got engaged Fall of '21, and started looking a venues almost instantly. We were significantly underwhelmed with the majority of spots we looked at, and then we stumbled upon Historic 1625. What a treat it was to have our wedding here. We walked in (for our showing) completely unsure how the space would look, and it was amazing. Beautifully finished flooring with a gorgeous exposed ceiling. The Bridal Suite was great to get ready in (or so I have been told), and the suite for the guys was awesome. A bit far away from everything, but that was actually one of my favorite things about it. We elected to have the appetizer/cocktail hour in with the cars as well, and that was a great choice. We didn't get to spend as much time in there as we wanted (because we were signing the marriage paperwork following the ceremony) but it was a huge hit and had plenty of space for all of our guests. If you are looking for a venue that provides excellent amenities, service and prompt communication, call Historic as soon as you can. Best price and venue in the area IMO, it's not very often you get both of those at the same location. (Side note: Lindsey Ernst is incredible to work with at Historic 1625, should you get the chance)

This venue was AMAZING! I really have to give it up to the staff they were very helpful and accommodating from start to finish. This is a huge venue for a great price and there's different rooms for ceremony/ reception, dinner, and cocktail hour. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how nice the flow was because of different spaces; no distractions for moving chairs etc. Also everyone LOVED the car room, it really made the wedding unique and fun. There's plenty of parking for guests and honestly it was just a dream wedding.

We can only speak highly of the Historic 1625. Having a venue that allowed for our ceremony to flow seamlessly into the reception was a top priority. The venue is designed perfectly for this and the staff are experts at execution. Not only is it ideal logistically, but aesthetically we found the brick and wood to be the perfect backdrop for the day. The groom and bridal party suites were incredibly convenient and well-furnished for party photos. Back to logistics, the ample free parking was a giant perk of the venue, as it can be a large concern for Tacoma and Seattle events. We did opt for the cocktail hour in the car room and the experience was well worth the money. It only added to the magic of the easy transitions allowing for the ceremony space to flip for the reception without us or our guests seeing it happen. Everyone loved seeing the cars, and we love the photos that came from it. We were the first to take advantage of the Historic's new in-house Coordinator Laura. We adore her and would definitely recommend this added service to ensure that all transitions occur without you or a family member needing to do the work. Not only is the venue top-tier, but their partnering vendors are as well. Key decoration pieces (arbor, wine barrels, backdrop) were conveniently available for purchase in-house, extra lighting and ceiling decorations were offered for a discounted rate from TLB Events, catering from the Historic's oldest partner Snuffins was the rave of every guest, and DJ Dave is an expert party MC - Dave and his photo booth really elevated the party! We really feel we got the bang for our buck! From our first walk through with Lindsey, to getting to meet the owner Kristen at an open house, and working with Laura in the final month, we really felt well-communicated with and cared for by everyone. We highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event that you want to go off without a hitch. We are so grateful to have had the best day of our lives at this special place.

Tacoma Historic 1625 is the most beautiful venue if you can afford it! Lindsey was extremely communicative, professional, kind, flexible, & easy to work with. She got back to us promptly with emails, phone calls, etc. I was disappointed that the decorations were a completely separate cost & a different vendor, but they too are easy to work with. Every guest we invited to the wedding was taken back by the beautiful job they do & the charm of Historic 1625’s venue. The changing rooms were comfortable & very large! I also liked how they had multiple bathrooms to access. The only reason why I gave a four out of five stars is because everything, it seemed, was a separate cost, as paying Historic 1625 was simply for the venue, date, & 10 hours whereas other venues offer different packages. Maybe that was my fault for not researching enough or asking more questions. Either way, I highly recommend Historic 1625 if you can afford it!! Historic 1625 provided my dream wedding!

Historic 1625 Tacoma Place was an absolute wonderful wedding venue! We were so lucky to have found the place and book it so last minute. We loved how central everything was at this venue and it was easily accessible. Everyone we worked with at this venue responded in a timely manner, were very helpful and kind, and ultimately helped us to create our fairy tale come true. We highly recommend this venue for any couple searching for a wedding venue!

Historic 1625 is a gorgeous canvas all on its own. There is minimal decoration required as the natural beauty of the site speaks for itself. Also note it has a Groom Suite which is rare in wedding venues. Lindsey was our point of contact here and worked with us tirelessly even when she said she would be away. Fair cost for what was offered. This was a full package including bridal suite, reception room, car package, and ceremony. There was a full kitchen in the back for the caterer to do their magic in. Laura was our other point of contact night of and had vast bartender experience to keep us at ease with our alcohol as we provided all of the supplies for it ourselves. The venue sent us our deposit back within a week of the wedding and we could not be happier with our decision to get married here. All of the photos turned out tip top, and we were blessed with outdoor weather permitting photos in the beautiful scapes surrounding the vene. Ample parking is also right n ext door.

We had our wedding here and it was wonderful! The staff was great and helpful, the vendors they contract with were as well. The only thing I would recommend early is to know the lighting is a little low so prep for most of your photos being outside. Overall, it was a great day and we'd choose them all over again

This venue is amazing when you're looking for a places that's well maintained and has value in what you pay. With the pandemic we have had to change our dates and they have been more than flexible with everything going on. They were more than happy to have me come back I don't know how many times to look at the space leading up to the wedding. If money wasn't an object I'd have my wedding all over again.

Lindsey was super helpful with the whole process. Her communication was very clear and professional as well as kind and empathetic! Having a wedding during Covid was not ideal but Historic 1625 made it worth the wait! The event space is large and beautiful before you even add any decor. We had so many compliments from friends and family about our venue after our reception. We’re so happy we were able to celebrate our marriage there!

What a wonderful venue to get married in! The staff at Historic was amazing as you can imagine we had to reschedule due to COVID. They allowed us to reschedule and even use the venue on our original date for a small, intimate ceremony! They made everything so easy and Lindsey was AMAZING to work with. The venue is perfect for any size wedding and is GORGEOUS! Very little decorations are needed because of the natural beauty of the space! They have a car room that has old cars where you can do a cocktail hour. The space was so clean! I would highly recommend this venue :)

When my Husband and I first walked into Historic 1625 last year, we knew right away that this was the place we wanted to Celebrate our Wedding! We were planning our Wedding for November 2020 and Historic 1625 is a Beautiful Indoor Venue perfect for an Autumn day here in the PNW! From the spacious Ceremony and Reception rooms, warm brick walls, exposed wooden beam ceilings, and gorgeous slate flooring, we immediately pictured our perfect day in this space. The space also has two very nice Dressing Rooms with comfy couches to relax on and I loved that my Bridal Suite was complete with its very own private bathroom. Last year we were working with Kellie when we had to change our plans due to the pandemic. She and the team at Historic 1625 offered us a Complementary Date Change due to the unprecedented circumstances and we moved our Celebration to this year. We were Married last year in October in a very small, intimate Ceremony and we were so excited that we would still be able to Celebrate our Vow Renewal and first Anniversary at Historic 1625 this year. We worked with Lindsey to plan and coordinate our Event and the whole process was organized and efficient! On the day of the Event, the space was set up perfectly and the photos were stunning! We can not Thank the team at Historic 1625 enough for helping create such a special day of memories that we will cherish forever!

We absolutely loved working and planning our wedding at Historic. Such a beautiful and elegant venue and the staff is so helpful and professional. Lindsey helped us walk through the venue at least a couple times prior to the wedding which was very helpful for planning. We loved having the availability of ending our wedding at midnight vs 10pm like most venues. So thankful we found and booked Historic 1625!

Melissa Y

11/09/2021

This venue was ABSOLUTELY beautiful! We used it for our wedding reception! The fact that it was so gorgeous all on its own with the brick and high ceilings made me need less decorations ( planning tip: less decor means easier set up and cleanup) The car room was a huge hit that our guests were raving about days later! Such a perfect touch! Lindsey and her team were so supportive from day 1! She made sure we knew what to do every step of the way communicating everything that was needed. It was really helpful that Historic had a small list of contracted catering companies- it made planning and communication a breeze! We loved using this venue to celebrate our special day!

Could not have picked a better venue!! Everything was perfect, from the car show room, to the brick walls. Reasonable pricing, and hands on staff! It’s great that you can bring your own alcohol (with their preferred caterer.) Lots of parking around, and easy to find as well. Have to get the car show room for the cocktail hour, SO fun!!

We chose Historic 1625 twice in our family: my sister’s wedding several years ago, and then for my daughters wedding this month. Both of which I organized and planned. The facilities are beautiful and equipped with everything we needed for the most beautiful weddings. My sister’s wedding was small and intimate and my daughters was much bigger. Historic 1625 adapted so well to the different types of weddings. Decor was merely a cherry on top of an already stunning venue. All the vendors that support Historic were a breeze to work with and able to work together seamlessly. I recommend the added lighting, it was lovely and so helpful to our photographer. And, a bonus, it was just small jaunt to some of Tacoma’s most beautiful backdrops that offered some uniquely gorgeous wedding pictures. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not for the faint of heart, but the staff was so helpful and flexible with our ever changing plans. Both events were weekday weddings but we always had support in solving problems and getting creative to pull it off. Lindsey was absolutely awesome! I would highly recommend Historic 1625 for the beauty of the venue, the abundance of support offered through their vendors and the graciousness of the staff, not to mention the affordability. As parents we always want our kids’ dreams to come true, the day after my daughters wedding she said to me, it was all she ever dreamed of and wanted for her wedding. We are so thankful.

I (the bride) dreamed of getting married in downtown Tacoma ever since I went to school there. The unique architecture, and history made my heart so happy. When I got engaged, I looked up wedding venues, and immediately knew Historic 1625 was the place I wanted to be married. Lindsey, and all the staff, was beyond helpful. We planned a wedding in 8 months, during a pandemic, and they made us feel like every other couple in history. They celebrated with us, and helped us in any way they could. Gave us suggestions, and their vendors were phenomenal. I never worried about whether or not it would be amazing. In the midst of planning a wedding, during a pandemic, it was a huge relief to be able to trust the venue, and the vendors so wholly. My day was flawless. I couldn't imagine it going any better, and the team at Historic 1625, played a huge part in that. The space was beautiful, and all of my guests fell in love with it. It's truly a gem tucked away in the heart of Tacoma. You won't regret getting married here. It was the best day of my life.

This space is perfect if you’re looking for a ceremony and reception space all in one. Great flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and back to dancing. The staff was great to work with and actively collaborated with our vendors to make everything run smoothly. I will admit I was a little concerned about the location as it’s a bit outside of downtown; but it was absolutely perfect. Would recommend this place to anyone and I would say the price was definitely reasonable for what you get and the level of care we felt from the staff.

We had an absolutely AMAZING experience having our wedding at 1625 Historic Tacoma Place. The staff were so helpful throughout the entire process of wedding planning. We had our wedding planned during the pandemic and they were accommodating in every aspect which took so much stress off of us! The venue is absolutely beautiful- it’s warm, inviting and I loved how professional everything was handled. I also loved having an indoor venue for our wedding even in the summer! We didn’t have to worry about unexpected weather changes and our guests we comfortable the entire evening. They also have ample parking! I 100% recommended checking them out if you are looking for a wedding venue in the Tacoma/ Seattle area!

They made the whole process so easy for us and with the new government restrictions in place they overcame and adapted very well to all of the mandates without any hiccups or problems. This place will always hold a special spot in our hearts and would highly recommended using this venue for your wedding or any other event you want! It’s absolutely beautiful!

Historic 1625 is an incredible venue and their team has been more than accommodating during the past year of planning our wedding. The venue itself is spacious, inviting, and the perfect backdrop for capturing gorgeous photos. Huge thank you to Kellie, Kristen, and Lindsey for all of your assistance. We couldn’t have pulled off a more beautiful and well thought out wedding, even during a pandemic, without each of you. We celebrated our big day on 1/16/21 and our friends, family, and vendors were all so impressed by every single detail that went into making our dream wedding a reality. We highly recommend Historic 1625 to anyone looking to book a venue that is sure to impress.

Kelly and everyone working at Historic 1625 are so helpful and updated me throughout all the covid restrictions. The site is so beautiful and I loved the spaces for the bridal party/ groomsman to get ready. Although the ceremony was smaller than originally planned, it was perfect. I’d highly recommend this location.

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience with Historic. The entire staff (especially Kellie) was absolutely phenomenal. Kellie was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process and patient with all my emails and questions. The venue itself: The ceremony room had plenty of room for all of our guests and the layout didn't feel cramped. We rented the car room for cocktail hour and our guests raved about the experience all night and weeks after. The only suggestion I would have for Historic would be to add a stand with information about the car. I think that would be super cool for the guests. Even without the info, it was extraordinary. The groom's room was perfect for the men to get away and get ready and the bride's room was spacious enough for all of our supplies and accessories. (The private bathroom is also a huge plus) I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was, but you just have to see for yourself.

I had an eye on Historic 1625 from the very beginning of my engagement. From the second we visited for the first time, we knew it would be the absolute perfect place for our day. Kelli was so incredible to work with and made the planning process a breeze. There were a lot of stressful circumstances around our wedding day and Kelli was there every step of the way for support and the make sure everything behind the scenes went smoothly. Historic needed very few decorations as the venue itself is just absolutely breathtaking. I look back at my pictures and am just in awe of how beautiful the exposed brick looks. The price is also incredibly reasonable for what you are getting and in comparison to other venues in the Puget Sound area. I would recommend Historic 1625 time and time again and an so grateful I was able to have my wedding there.

Historic 1625 is beyond beautiful and was more than we ever expected for our ceremony and reception venue. The building speaks for itself no matter the decor. What we loved most is that we didn't have to provide much decorations to create the atmosphere we were looking for. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at Historic. We highly recommend purchasing the Car Room for happy hour. Our guests loved it and it provided a nice transition from ceremony to reception. Not only is the venue itself amazing, but we loved working with Kellie and the other staff at Historic 1625. Kellie was beyond helpful with our entire planning process. She not only helped with floor planning for the event but also helped with all the details of the time line and was present for our rehearsal to help us figure out the flow of what would work best with our specific family and wedding party circumstances. Kellie also helped us find other vendors that resulted in a lot of savings; adding to the look of our wedding, that we would not have opted for due to price. The staff always responded to our calls and emails quickly and were beyond helpful in answering any kind of questions we had about details or planning. Another great aspect of Historic 1625 is that the tables and chairs are included in the price, with set up and take down, and the venue has the capacity to hold a large or small guest count and still be equally as beautiful and comfortable. Onsite parking for free was also a bonus for us, our guests, and our vendors. We highly recommend Historic 1625 for weddings and any other events!

We booked Historic 1625 as our wedding venue a year in advanced because we loved how BEAUTIFUL, yet affordable it was and we could not have been any happier! The process from beginning to end was so smooth. My husband and I worked with Kellie. Not only did she make this whole process fun (do not get me wrong, there were times when it was TOUGH because that's normal wedding stuff, right?), but she was extremely helpful and quick to respond whenever we needed her. Her relationships with the vendors we worked with clearly showed us how great and qualified she was at her job. She definitely went above and beyond to make our wedding what it was...and it was freaking amazing! The main things we were looking for in a venue were on-site parking, two separate bridal suites and room to accommodate a large party - Historic 1625 checked all of those requirements. For cocktail hour, we included the car garage package and that was a HIT with all of our guests. The classic cars were a nice touch as people were mingling in between the ceremony and reception. We fit 270+ people comfortably into one side for the reception, while allowing the other side to be open for the bar, dance floor and desserts. Thank goodness for so much space because we had a line of people for our ice cream cart, while having so much room for people to dance at the same time. If we could have another wedding there, we would! Maybe for a future anniversary. I highly recommend this venue!!!

Perfect venue for our wedding. You can have both your ceremony & reception here! We had about 200 attending- Enough free parking & easy freeway access. Kelly was awesome to deal with- easy to get ahold of & very helpful! The wedding suites were nice and spacious to get ready in- also!

From the second that Erik and I walked into Historic 1625, we knew that it was the place where we wanted to celebrate the best day of our lives with our closest family and friends! The exposed brick, dramatic uplighting, and wooden beams set the tone for such a romantic ambiance. Aside from the fact that the venue was truly a stunning backdrop for such a special day, the convenience that it provided for our guests was incomparable. From the ample free parking, to no-corkage fee, to the 1am curfew! Kellie was such an amazing point of contact, always willing to go above and beyond to help in the planning process. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception space or overall experience. We want to thank the entire staff from the bottom of our hearts!

I looked high and low for MONTHS to find our perfect wedding venue and after touring Historic 1625 Tacoma Place (the only venue we toured in person) we were sold! I didn't feel I needed to look anywhere else because Historic provided EVERYTHING at such a reasonable price compared to their competitors. We loved the brick and wood and the collector car room, we didn't feel like we had to add much of anything for decor. And we came away with beautiful photos! Their staff was so helpful in preparation and on day of. I wasn't bothered for a single thing on our special day! They made sure everything ran smoothly for us. The whole team (paired with Mama Stortini's catering) is top notch in the wedding game. Also our rehearsal space fell through a week before the wedding and Kellie was so helpful in sending us a list of alternatives to check out as well! I can't rave about this team and their space enough!!

We highly recommend Historic 1625 for a wedding venue. The venue is gorgeous and the staff was super helpful. Our wedding planning experience with them was wonderful and our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly. We loved working with Kellie. She was super responsive, had great recommendations and was an all around great person to work with. We hope to be able to use this venue again in our future!
