STAR Center Journey Hall

STAR Center Journey Hall in South Tacoma is a big, straightforward Parks Tacoma rental for receptions that need room to breathe. Outside caterers are allowed, a kitchen is available for an hourly add-on, and about 200 parking spaces sit on site.

Capacity depends on layout: 300 with tables and chairs, or 400 chairs-only. Match that to dinner versus dance-heavy plans before you quote relatives a headcount. 2025/26 rates start around $325 an hour weekdays and $425 Friday through Sunday, before cleaning, alcohol, deposit, and security fees.

Dates lock only after signed paperwork and payment. If alcohol is on the menu, budget for a Class 12 bartender, banquet permit, and security from pour to end of rental.
