The ESB (Environmental Services Building)

Amazing venue with great views. Very helpful staff, and refunded our deposit very fast. All our friends and family were amazed with the location, and at such a good price compared to nearby venues!

We had our daughter's wedding reception at the Environmental Services Building (ESB) overlooking the Puget Sound. We were able to come early in the morning with a helper crew to set up and there was plenty of parking for guests. Since it was a beautiful sunny (but not too hot) day on July 31st, 2016, we had planned for dining inside as well as outside, and our DJ and the Cash Bar attendant were outside under the covered courtyard where we had dancing later. The DJ could easily move inside and out utilizing the sliding glass door which remained open to the lovely view. Guests could mingle, go into the lobby for food, restrooms, and in the dining area as well as outside. There was plenty of room for the bridal party to get dressed in "ladies" and "gentlemen" rooms off of the lobby, prior to heading to the church for the wedding and then back again for the reception. Everything went smoothly and we were so happy to have the event there. It was beautiful, the guests loved it, our daughter loved it, our son-in-law loved it, and we will definitely recommend the ESB!

We had the absolutely best experience having our daughter's wedding and reception at the ESB. The venue was picture perfect. The staff was so nice and helpful. They were completely responsive and present on the day of the actual event. Thank you for making my girl's wedding truly the best day ever!

Thanks to all of the staff at the ESB for helping us have a wonderful wedding! Everyone was very friendly and eager to help out with all of our last minute changes. Andrea was my main point of contact and she was alwaya available via email or phone. The venue requires that you use Chambera Bay bartending service. If you're wanting a specific beer/wine/spirit I suggest you try to get a full list of their offerings.

Our wedding was beautiful and fun and it was awesome to work with the staff of the Environmental Services Building! They were so helpful and the place was amazing!

We couldn't of picked a better venue! This venue with its amazing views of the Puget Sound showed our guests why we love living in the Pacific Northwest. The staff was also very accommodating and took care of any questions we had. The venue has everything you possibly need to make for a perfect day. Perfect for a small party wedding as well as large groups!

The staff there were friendly and helpful. They made everything easy. The facility was beautiful with a great view. Super convienent and AV system. Did not have to haul things around. Everything was as promised. Also, they refunded our damage deposit super quick, no waiting!

I just got married at the ESB on August 28th and it was beautiful. The scenery is gorgeous and is the perfect romantic setting for any dream wedding day. All of my guests commented on how beautiful it was and said, "how did you find this place?" It was wonderful to have all of my friends and family enjoy the beautiful puget sound and breath taking sunset on my special day. I feel as though I picked the perfect place for my wedding and would recomend the ESB to anyone i know. Unforgetable experience! :)

The environmental service building in University Place has amazing views and we were lucky enough to have a beauitful sunset the night of our August wedding. The price is just right and staff are more than willing to help with any additional details.

The venue was beautiful and so special to my husband and I. The day of things went about as well as can be expected with only a few hang ups - otherwise they were so accomodating and helpful! Loved this venue!

We rented the ESB for our wedding mainly because it was the least expensive option we could find in the area that still had a decent overall appearance. We were able to fit 140 guest comfortably, with a large dance floor, and cake table into the great hall. The grounds are beautiful, so it's perfect for an outdoor wedding. We had our chairs facing the water, the grass was perfectly cared for, and the water feature was fun for the kids. The employees are very helpful and their preferred vendor list came in very handy.

I had my May 23rd, Memorial Day wedding at the Pierce County ESB. It was a wonderful, no nonsense type of venue. They had a variety of supplies provided with your rental and were very helpful in answering questions. The price was great as was the view! The view was spectacular and we somehow got a perfect day. What a beautiful background we had for all of our wedding photos. I would recommend this spot to anyone!
