Bonus Tips for an Unforgettable Weekend in Tacoma
Make it a Date Night
After a day of Wedding Show magic, nothing says “date night” like Tacoma’s vibrant dining scene. Consider snagging a reservation at *Pacific Grill* for an upscale experience, or head to *The Melting Pot* for fondue fun! Both are great spots to wind down, talk through all the amazing vendors you met, and share a few laughs as you dream up your big day.
Reserve Your Stay Early
A little heads-up: hotels in Tacoma fill up quickly, especially during big events like the Wedding Show. So, if any of these hotels are calling your name, grab a room soon! This is especially true for boutique hotels like Hotel Murano and McMenamins, where room types and views can vary and book fast.
