Intimate Tacoma Venue
Atelier is an intimate micro-venue created for gatherings that value beauty, presence, and intention.
We believe small gatherings deserve the same level of care as large-scale events. Atelier was created to offer a refined and intentional alternative - a space where atmosphere matters and every detail contributes to the experience making your celebration feel like a work of art.
about us
We’re a 900 sq foot studio with a 400 sq foot main room in Downtown Tacoma.
Our space is split right down the middle with one half being the main space with windows and the other half being a great prep, storage and pantry space with a utility sink and small fridge.
HOURS
7 Days a Week
7:00am - 11:00 PM (flexible)
capacity
For mingling, tables, and some movement, a 400-square-foot room could fit around 40 people for a standing party.
For seating, food tables, or other setups, the number of people it can hold will decrease - it may accommodate closer to 20–25 people.
While our studio is 900 square feet, it’s worth taking into account the ‘main’ window room as your general capacity.

6 HOUR SPECIALWhy Most Clients Choose Our Half-Day Rental
One of the most common things we see is clients underestimating how much time an event truly needs.
While 2–3 hours can work for very simple moments, most gatherings feel rushed in that window, especially when you include setup, arrival times, actually enjoying your time together and the cleanup process.
Through experience, we’ve found that 6 hours allows an event to unfold naturally without feeling rushed.
A half-day rental gives you:
Time to arrive, settle in, and style the space without pressure
Space for guests to gather slowly and comfortably
Room for meals, conversations, and flow through activities
Natural transitions between moments rather than abrupt endings
Time for photos, presence and cleanup.
Six hours doesn’t mean doing more.
It means doing things well.
Your event feels calmer.
Your guests feel cared for.
And you’re able to experience and enjoy what you’ve planned.
This is why many of our clients ultimately choose the half-day option, with the bonus of a lower hourly rate.

UH-TELL-EE-AY
An atelier is a workshop or studio, particularly one used by an artist, designer, or craftsman.
The term is often associated with a space where creative professionals, such as painters, sculptors, or fashion designers, create their work. An atelier may also refer to a collaborative space where a group of artists or designers work together.
The atmosphere of an atelier is typically one of creativity, experimentation, and the refinement of artistic techniques.
