The Everett resort was a picturesque place for our wedding reception and wedding weekend! Sunset coming into the sunroom (reception hall) provided a stunning backdrop for dinner, photos, and an evening to remember. Jimmy, Juli, and Moe were excellent hosts, supporters, and friends. We met with them to discuss details, particularly about table arrangements, catering, stays throughout the resort, bar options, and overall flow and timing of the day. Because of Jim and Juli’s experiences with events, our meetings were very helpful to determine realistic expectation and to have a great time! Our wedding party chose to arrive via pontoon - that was a blast and grateful for weather cooperation! Weather worked well to be able to get the ladies ready on the porch at The Marina Bar overlooking the water! Photos at the top under the pavilion were a great place to showcase the wedding party and help cue everyone to gather for dinner. We moved a few tables out to create a great space for people to enjoy the dance floor. Leftovers from the caterer we kept with us in a cabin on property and used for gathering the next day in the main Lodge. Overall fantastic weekend. It was wonderful to have a “Northwoods destination wedding“ where guests could stay at the resort and for the weekend/week! (Hard to pick only ten photos to share!!)
