The Tacoma Area's Premier Wedding and Event Venue!

We do it all; weddings, reunions, receptions, association gatherings, meetings, award ceremonies and even sporting events. If you can dream it, we can do it. Our 10,709+ square foot ballroom can be divided into three smaller spaces. We have an atrium with breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier. This modern and versatile building can accommodate both intimate gatherings and large groups, up to 1,200 people. 

The facility’s warm and contemporary atmosphere comes equipped with state-of-the-art multimedia equipment, a four-screen projection system, Wi-Fi and enough parking for attendees, all of which are included in your rental.

The McGavick Conference Center is the most convenient, customizable and cost-effective option for your next small gathering or large group. With combined experience of 15 years, our event services team is here to assist you with pre-event consulting, on-site walk through meetings & vendor coordination.
