    Wonderful!!

    My husband and I used Chambers Bay and KemperSports as the bartenders for our wedding. Kate and her staff were wonderful to work with. During the planning process Kate was super responsive and helpful as we decided on the specifics of our package. On the day of our wedding every aspect of the bar and the additional service staff went off without a hitch. We are so thankful and highly recommend Chambers Bay and their staff.

    The best wedding venue!

    Kate and Anthony at Chambers Bay truly went above and beyond to make our day special. They don’t charge you by the hour, pretty much you can have the venue from morning-midnight if you really want. All prices include setup/tear down, and they have their own caterers and bartenders on site, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with any additional vendors. They were super accommodating, and Kate made sure every detail day of went perfectly according to plan. The only major issue that they need to address ASAP is that we were on a time crunch in between photos and the ceremony, and the golf cart died while carrying our bridesmaids back up to the top of the hill. It all ended up working out, but they should probably invest in some new carts. Very minor thing to go wrong in the grand scheme of the wedding though! It rained on our wedding day, and when we arrived to the bridal tent it was pretty damp, but Kate was there mopping everything up. No detail went unnoticed by Kate and her team! Servers were always making sure the bridal party and family had everything we could possibly want! I recommend Chambers Bay to anyone looking for that venue that has it all— great view, amazing staff, delicious food, and a diligent coordinator to make sure it all goes as you had planned.

    Excellent venue

    Fantastic venue, with amazing customer service throughout the entire process. We looked at several venues and Chambers Bay was by far the most accommodating, best value, best quality, with the prettiest views. All of the catering and event staff went above and beyond. The food was amazing. The views were breathtaking. Kate worked with us on our specific requests and she made sure everything went smoothly. Would absolutely recommend.

    Picturesque PNW Wedding

    The Chamber’s Bay venue showcases the Pacific Northwest at its finest! The best of the PNW is exactly what we wanted to share with our guests! We were very satisfied with the customer service, attentiveness of the staff, and high quality of service we received throughout the whole process from booking to the day of our wedding. Anthony Shipman and Kate Barry, the events coordinator, were a pleasure to work with and made the whole process easy and stress-free. They gave us the best recommendations in the selection of vendors. The venue, banquet space, and food were super amazing!
    The cute bridal suite attached behind the banquet tent was a great accessory! We arrived at 9AM to get ready for my wedding and were pleasantly surprised by the champagne on ice, toasting glasses, and bottles of water the staff had set-up for us. We had our hair and makeup artists get us, 6 ladies, prepared in there. There was plenty of room and the set up was nice, which included a comfy couch, vanity area, numerous lockers, and changing area. It was great to have the bridal tent nearby to easily store our belongings, do outfit changes, or touchup on makeup.
    Although the park and walkway at Chamber’s Bay is essentially open to the public, it did not interfere with my wedding day whatsoever. The raised venue area makes it feel completely private. The venue is breathtaking and nicely displays the Puget Sound and the Cascades in the horizon. Café lights are nicely strung outside of the venue tent above the cocktail tables to create an inviting outdoor space overlooking the water. We had appetizers and champagne served to our guest for cocktail hour and provided our guests with an open bar and served them filet mignon, chicken, scallops, and delicious sides. Whatever we wanted for our wedding; Kate worked with us to make it happen. She coordinated golf cart transportation for our first look and sunset photos near the water. Kate was even able to work with us to provide our guests late night snacks (hamburger sliders and fancy, focaccia grilled cheese sandwiches) even though it was not a listed option provided to us in the events booklet. We were very satisfied with the quality of food here; it is definitely top-notch.
    Chamber’s Bay surpassed our high expectations and delivered a beautiful wedding day for us and our guests. We highly recommend this venue for classy PNW weddings!

    Best.Wedding.Venue.Ever.

    Chambers Bay was the perfect venue for us! The view is perfection, the food was delicious and the service we outstanding! We live out of state and had a third of our guests fly in from out of town. The view was super important to us and was just stunning. The Staff leading up to the day were great to work with and made planning from afar easy. We received many complaints from a guests on the food and over all wedding! I highly recommend them as we would not have changed a thing!

    Such an amazing experience working with this team! The staff was extremely friendly from the moment we sat down to book. We used them for our bar service at the environmental services building next door. I asked if they had any root beer because I forgot my case at home, she ran over to the club house and found us some! All our guest were having a great time so we extended open bar for another hour and it was so easy to do! The professionalism from everyone who worked here was great! I would recommend there services to everyone!

    Thank you Chantelle! It was a wonderful celebration of a great couple!

    From the moment we met Jamie and Ann we felt welcome and they went beyond our expectations. They said they will do anything to make this day special for our daughter and they did. The setting can not be matched. The day was perfect, weather wise too. The sunset was unbelievable from there. Food was superb. Isobel and her staff set the stage for a wonderful evening. I can't thank everyone involved at Chambers Bay enough for a perfect day/evening. I highly recommend this place for a wedding venue. You want perfection for a wedding venue? This is the place you want to be.

    Chambers Bay was the perfect place for our wedding! We knew the view would be the wonderful backdrop to our special day, but had no idea how great everything else would be! We were blown away by how flexible and helpful the staff was on almost every element of the day, from the initial planning to day-of set up.The food was fantastic and the bar options were perfect. The tent is a great reception space and our out of town guest were amazed by the view! We are so happy we decided to have our wedding here and cannot thank Chambers Bay staff enough for making our day absolutely perfect!

    We spent a lot of time checking out venues for my daughter's wedding, but when we visited Chambers Bay and talked to Jamie, we knew we had found the perfect place. From start to finish, Jamie and his staff couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Special thanks to Isabelle for all her help. She was amazing and was instrumental in making sure everything ran smoothly.

    Chambers Bay was the site of both our ceremony (patio) and reception (pavilion). It is such a beautiful location - our guests, especially the out-of-towners, were blown away! The staff at Chambers is so nice - they worked with us and accommodated all of our requests. On the day of, our main contact, Brian, even drove the groom, me, and the photographers in a golf cart down to the bridge and the beach to take photos - I'm so excited to see them because the view was amazing!
    The food (buffet-style and catered on-site) was so, so delicious. The staff at our wedding kept checking on us and seeing if we needed anything - they were just so nice. It was also so convenient to be able to have the ceremony, caterers, and reception all packaged into one! I highly recommend Chambers Bay for a great wedding with a beautiful view of the Puget Sound!

    Jamie and the entire Chambers Bay staff were so easy to work with that it made planning the wedding an absolute dream. They accomodated my special requests such as allowing us to bring in beer we brewed for the reception. You won't find a better view, and the staff that worked the reception were professional and fun - especially Lauren. The prices are very fair considering the quality of the food and the gorgeous view. They set up a golf cart so we could go around and take photos. Everything we needed, they made it work. Definitely look into having your wedding here - you will love it!

    Jamie and the staff were fantastic and helped create a memory of a lifetime. Chef and his team help customize our menu so that we were able to eat all of our favorite foods. My husband is from Wisconsin and they even accommodated making us fbreaded cheese curds!! Our Wisconsin guests thought they were the best cheese curds they have ever had. The location is great because we were able to host a breakfast/and mini golf outing the next day and everyone was blown away. We seriously experienced the most beautiful sunset of our liives. Thank you so much for making our special day incredible.

    We visited many venues throughout the Puget Sound and when we met Kyra at Chambers Bay and saw the water and mountain landscapes, it was a done deal. The views are stunning from the ceremony/reception space and there are many opportunities for beautiful photos around the property (down by the sorting bins, on the water's edge, the walking path and bridges, in front of the golf course green, etc.)

    Kyra (day of coordinator) and Mariah (banquet captain/manager) were both very accommodating to all our ideas and would consistently reply within hours with answers to my many questions throughout the planning process. When the weather was looking unpredictable on the wedding day, they were both willing to wait out the rain and had their teams on full standby to set up or make changes however we decided. They also had shuttles and golf carts coordinated to help with transportation for bridal party photos and parking. My only suggestions for improvement would be for the facilities department to update the tented pavilion window panels which appeared aged/ripped in some places and to assign someone to double check on room set-up (we were missing our cocktail tables which somewhat re-located our cocktail hour). These were so minor in the grand scheme -- we absolutely loved our experience at Chambers Bay and will have many life-long memories from there! Thank you, Kyra, Mariah, and staff!

    I can't imagine a more perfect day than what we received at Chambers Bay! From the time we met the first members of the staff and saw the course and scenery covered in SNOW, we knew this was the place!! Months later, we couldn't have asked for a more stunning location and beautiful summer day to share with our guests! From rehearsal dinner at sunset to the wedding tent full of friends and family, the Chambers Bay staff hosted a wonderful weekend of events, and Dave and I are so pleased it was OUR BIG DAY!! Thank you to everyone who was a part of making it so beautiful and so much fun!!

    Sincerely, Meagan & Dave Schwen

    PNW View from Chambers was Unforgettable

    Kate and the Chambers Bay staff made the planning experience very easy. Then the actual event was wonderful! The staff were very professional and kept the event running smoothly. Also, the view was fabulous and a wonderful treat for our out of town guests.

    The venue was beautiful and the perfect setting for our wedding. They do have a problem with communication and I suggest making sure you are communicating with the people who will be in charge the day of your wedding. When I was planning our wedding I was communicating with the event manager but did not know till our wedding weekend that he wouldn't be there. Half of what we had talked about never got passed on to the people who were. Those in charge the day of did not know when we would be decorating and didn't have anything set up for us when we got there so a few things did not get set up. Also the time we were told to be at the venue for the rehearsal was half an hour after what they were told so we had to rush our rehearsal for the wedding party after us. The day of and during rehearsal they were very nice/professional and went out of their way to do anything we needed and made sure we were taken care of. Also the food was amazing, for the first time the chef had done mexican food he nailed it and everyone loved it!

    We loved the location and view of the narrows. The food tasted great! We did face miscommunication issues the day of the event; the wrong salad was served and we were told our event ended at 10 when our contract was till midnight. I also heard the staff was speaking poorly about the wedding in the store-unknowingly to one of our guests. If I had to do it again I think I would pick them again but make sure every detail they committed to was in writting. I feel the customer service was lacking throughout the day. Although, Anthony and Faith were wonderful in assisting us. Sadly, I wish I could give them a better review.
