Wedding Planning
It's always good practice to call ahead or visit the business' website to check updated hours. Be patient, be kind, stay healthy.
Happily Everett After
When it comes to launching a lifelong union, we say do as you wish! From epic to intimate, Everett offers diverse venues and services for newlyweds. If the planning path from “yes” to “I do” starts feeling like a stress-filled race to the finish line, cram-packed with decision-making, consult our wedding weekend itinerary. We've done the research for you because we want to be a part of making your dream wedding become a reality.
Finding the perfect venue
Setting the scene for your special day all starts with the perfect venue. For a more cozy, rustic vibe, check out the historic event halls and open spaces tucked away in Everett's serene parks with nature and all the PNW beauty as your backdrop.
Go for a chic, modern feel at Hotel Indigo where you can say your "I Dos" with the gorgeous Puget Sound sparkling in the background, indoor and outdoor spaces and everything you need right on site to make planning a breeze.
At the Historic Monte Cristo Hotel, elegance shines and the Monte team can help you plan the wedding of your dreams with inclusive packages to fit a variety of budgets.
Fly Right
Land a smooth start to your wedding weekend and take off for the honeymoon from Everett’s new Paine Field Airport. Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, offer flights to and from 10 Western U.S. cities; this gorgeous passenger terminal opened in March 2019. Click for more transportation options.
Walk This Way
Next, savor conversation over casual bites with a view at Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. Try a united happy hour crawl in lieu of bachelor-bachelorette parties.
Melodies transform the waterfront each Thursday summer night as the whimsy of Music at the Marina fills the air. Slip away together as the sun sets behind the beautiful Pacific Northwest Mountain-scape of the Port Gardner Bay.
Goodnight, Sweetheart
Travelers can rest assured that no driving is necessary at all-inclusive hotel weddings. Consider the luxe convenience of hosting where nightly sleeps, impromptu drinks, preparations, ceremony and reception all occur in one location and with staff support. Left the rings in your room? No worries!
Recently built and artfully upscale, The Delta Hotel by Mariott and the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Everett both offer a full menu of event services, banquet rooms, modern eateries (think acai bowls and avocado toast), indoor pools and other amenities. In search of a venue with a view? We have that too with the new Hotel Indigo. Snag your dream date at your perfect location soon!
Recharge, Your Way
Seattle may be one hub for excellent coffee, but we like to think they were inspired by us. Power up with coffee prepared by highly trained baristas in one of Everett’s historic downtown buildings that doubles as our top award-winning coffee shop when you visit Narrative Café. If a casual, rustic coffee shop is more your speed, stop by The Loft. Or perhaps, adventure just outside the downtown core to Café Makario for a coffee unlike any you’ve had before, prepared with whimsy and made from house-roasted beans.
If perhaps endorphins are what you need to jump-start your morning, a multitude of trails are at your fingertips to take off on a morning run before getting to your to-do list. Relax and recharge when you visit Body & Brain Yoga. If soul food is the fix you prefer, try Strawberry Patch Cafe, The Sisters or The New Mexicans.
One Day More
Pop over to J. Matheson Gifts & Gourmet for chic last-minute wedding party presents and a fun browse. Now, everything’s in order. You’ve got this. Wait…you forgot what? Keep calm and problem solve with help from Heraldnet Reader’s Choice and LiveInEverett’s Evvy Award winners. From dry cleaners to veterinarians, they have you covered.
As you head off to rehearse, consider taking snapshots along the way and the moments of not only tomorrow but also today. For memorable backdrops to capture these final moments before you tie the knot, visit Everett’s Parks, the Everett Marina or the heart mural at the corner of Colby and Everett Avenue.
For excellent food visit Terracotta Red Asian Bistro or Emory’s on Silver Lake.
