Monte Cristo Hotel

Reception | Ballroom | Everett, Washington

The Hotel Monte Cristo, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the city of Everett, has beautiful details and incredible charm. The original 1926 building was renovated in 1994 but retained the Italian Renaissance architecture. The ballroom offers a perfect setting for an elegant, chic wedding. This October wedding happened in a second record-breaking year for Seattle wet weather, so it was historic in a different way! but that didn’t dampen the bride and groom’s day. We spent every moment indoors and we enjoyed all the high ceilings, hallways, rooms and anterooms.

The joyful couple had a connection with each other, with their family, their friends. Truly a celebration of happiness. So many highlights to remember! Rather than telling you about the wonderful, special, and fantastic moments — let’s look at their story together. With big parties and celebrations, magical moments just happen. A huge shout out and so many thanks to the stellar Caren Morris of Caren Morris Photography for having me be part of this day. I absolutely loved being part of her team — I would love to do it again!
