“Northern Navetta was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, the owners were open, honest and truly caring about making our day special. They communicated with us throughout the entire process, ensuring the venue was set up exactly how we wanted it when we arrived to decorate. The owners' attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond was evident in every interaction. The value we received for the cost of the venue was worth every penny - the space was stunning, the service was impeccable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are so grateful to the team at Northern Navetta for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.”

“What initially sold us on The Everett for our wedding was learning that it was a family-run business. You could immediately tell that they genuinely care not only about the people who choose to have their wedding there, but about the resort itself. We believed in that so much that we booked our wedding in the middle of winter after only seeing the property once—and, oh yeah, there were two feet of snow on the ground. But Jim sold us on the vision, and we trusted him! We couldn’t be happier to say that having faith in them ended up being one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. They do so many things that they simply don’t have to do, and they consistently go above and beyond in every way. As someone who has experience in the wedding industry as a photographer, I can confidently say that The Everett does things that 99% of other venues simply don’t—or won’t. Their level of care, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile truly sets them apart. Jim, Juli, Jeremy, Alyssia, and the entire family were nothing short of spectacular from the very beginning and throughout our entire wedding weekend. Our expectations of what you would hope for from the people hosting your wedding were completely blown out of the water. They put an incredible amount of time, effort, and heart into making our wedding weekend as perfect as it could possibly be, and it absolutely showed. I’m writing this review with my wife just two weeks after our wedding, and we are still overwhelmed with how incredible the entire experience was. Knowing what we know now and having experienced our wedding at The Everett, if we could do it all over again, there is not a single circumstance where we would choose to get married anywhere else. If The Everett fits what you’re looking for in a wedding venue, we truly cannot recommend them enough. You’re not just booking a venue—you’re putting your wedding weekend in the hands of a family who genuinely cares about making it special, and we could not be more grateful that we chose them. We’re already looking forward to coming back for years to come with friends and family, making more memories, and of course, having some drinks at the Marina Bar!”
