Couldn't have dreamed a more perfect wedding. I am very grateful for Lynn, her venue, and her staff. I will always remember my wedding day as beautiful and stress free because of the services provided by this business. A Chapel on Swan's Trail is a gorgeous venue with an incredibly helpful staff. The Chapel is over 100 years old and located up high on a hill with a beautiful view overlooking the Snohomish valley and downtown Everett. The grounds are gorgeous with lush landscaping and something to see everywhere you look. The best part of the venue, in my opinion, is that it can be held indoor or outdoor. On my wedding day we hoped for an outdoor ceremony but were able to easily move the ceremony indoors once we saw the rain was not giving up. We moved indoor for the ceremony but the rain broke and we were still able to have the reception outdoors. Lynn, the owner of the Chapel, seriously took the weight off of me in helping figure out all of the details in planning and she took lead on the day of. The first time I went to the chapel to meet with Lynn I was overwhelmed and after leaving I felt like things were making sense and everything was under control. Lynn even recommended our pastor, Reuben Sapien, whom everyone loved. She was able to provide all of the linens on site and even provided staff to help throughout the wedding day and (which was huge) a cleanup crew so we did not have to worry about that. If you are searching for a venue, take the time to meet with Lynn and tour the property yourself and you will see the care that goes into planning your day and into the property to make it special. read more

We had a romantic wedding in the charming historic chapel on Swan Trail build in 1915. It truly was the Hallmark wedding of my dreams The chapel sits ontop of the hillside overlooking the country. As you drive towards you can see it's beauty. I had 8ft silk cherry blossom trees in side for our ceremony. Lynn the owner was most helpful. She even provided us with a day of event planner. Both ladies made sure that my wedding went smoothly. I highly recommend having your wedding here! read more

My husband and I got married here on August 15th, 2015 and had a really good experience. We booked them a little over a year in advance after looking and looking for a reasonably priced, nice, outdoor wedding venue that could accommodate about 100 guests. The venue is absolutely beautiful with a nicely landscaped outdoor area, a big, well lit tent that they leave up in the summer, a concrete patio, and a cute little gazebo that we got married under. The chapel itself is cute, too, but the outdoor area is so pretty for a summer wedding. Lynn, the owner, was awesome about communicating with us; she always called/emailed us back quickly and had lots of good advice and tips for making things run more smoothly. Another really nice thing about getting married there is that they don't make you choose people on their "preferred vendors" list, you can use whoever you want and they just like to know who it is and have contact info for them in advance. They also really didn't have any photography restrictions like other venues do. Tamara is kind of like the day-of coordinator and she was also great to work with. We had an appointment with her about 6 months before the wedding and she helped keep us on track, had a timeline example that I used most of and some other helpful things and was also very quick to respond to any form of communication. Lynn had linens for all of the tables (and even ones for the extra tables we brought) available to rent for only $10 each which was substantially cheaper than any rental company. All of the tables and chairs were also included in the rental. Tamara also has wedding stuff that you can rent; we rented her water goblets since we had our own dishes and needed something for people to drink water/lemonade out of. She has tons of other stuff available, too. We also rented the pop up tent for the bartenders to serve drinks under and if we had over 100 guests we would have had to rent the additional parking lot/parking attendant for another $100 but luckily we were right at 100 and they didn't make us rent it. They also had a clean-up service available for only $100 which we used since our parents already did so much to help with the wedding (and were busy cleaning up all of our dishes and gifts and stuff.) They swept the chapel and did lots of little things to leave the chapel looking the way it did when we arrived and $100 was very reasonable. They also had staff available to hire; we used one of their people as our bartender (it's so great that they let us do that, we saved tons of money not having to hire an actual bartender for just wine and beer) and we used someone to help Tamara and our parents with set up and also another person helped bus tables, cut the cake, etc. I really don't have much in terms of complaints; the only thing that was a little bit stressful was the table layout; Lynn gave me one for 100 people and there's no way it could have held 100 people even if we really squeezed everyone in. My mom and I drew up a new one and they didn't have a problem with it and the tables were set up as we asked when we arrived. Overall it was an amazing experience and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. It was very laid back and Lynn and Tamara made it so easy to get married there. I would definitely recommend them to other brides and I will also remember what a beautiful wedding we had! read more

See all

Lynn Hallstrom may possibly be one of the best loved venue hosts in all of Snohomish! I have worked with her at wedding and community events and she is about service and care through and through. She has even been known to work a few miracles in the midst of wedding chaos. Many a bride has given her a big, heartfelt hug at the end of the evening which is something I do not see happen often elsewhere. read more

The owner, Lynn, is amazing. She is so responsive and so accommodating. As the bride, I had a lot of random questions come up along the way as I was planning our wedding. I would often times email Lynn and she would get back to me so quickly. I would often times ask if I could come by with my photographer, family or whoever to just check it out again and get the details I needed and she was totally great with that. I loved that there were no required vendors that we had to use and that the venue was so flexible. You can really tell that Lynn's whole goal is to make your day the best day it can be. The venue is awesome if you are looking for an outdoor ceremony for about 120 people or less. It is so quaint and has so much character. The chapel is really neat and just adds to the feel of the venue and the gazebo is a great touch. We had a beautiful chandelier hanging from the gazebo and it really made the dessert buffet extra cute. read more

This is an excellent venue for a group of people that want an intimate really wonderful spot for any event. We got married there on Saturday the 5th and even though the rain was coming down it was nice and cozy inside. Lynn started the two wood stoves and that just added to the cozy feelings by everyone. Lynn and her staff are so accommodating and helpful that we were able to concentrate on the important things. What a wonderful experience. Thanks to Lynn and her staff. read more

I was married here in september. I had the most beautiful wedding day. The venue was perfect and the staff was so helpful!

I had my wedding here in August 2013. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Lynne, the owner is fabulous. She is approachable, professional and so accommodating. She genuinely wants her clients to bring their vision to life. The venue is ideal as well. The chapel is so charming and the property itself is so suitable for a casual, country-style outdoor wedding that does it all from the ceremony to the reception. I would recommend this site to anyone who is planning an outdoor event! read more

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the landscape is amazing! However we did run into a few problems regarding accommodations and use of the grounds during the time we'd rented it. During the 12 hour time-slot we'd rented the venue (about an hour in as I was getting dressed) my photographer and a few family members helping set up noticed that Lynn was giving a tour of the venue. Maybe I missed the spot in my contract that allowed this, but my family, my husband and I felt it highly inappropriate and violated that someone was able to receive a tour and access to our venue while I was getting dressed and was supposed to be able to have privacy in the chapel. Also, there is no valid backup plan in case of rain if you have more than 100 guests. We thought their would be, but learned there wasn't. Lynn repeatedly told us that she has only had to move one wedding inside (during a windstorm) but we actually met a few people who had attended weddings there and had said they were rained on during the reception. Because of this and a questionable forecast for the wedding day, I decided to look into renting tent walls (they are not provided by the venue) so in case there was wind and any rain, people would be able to remain dry. I called to ask whether the tent had buckles or clips to fasten walls (question from the rental facility) and Lynn didn't answer my question -- instead just repeatedly told me, "I can't stop you from worrying." I wasn't asking her to do any work, I was simply trying to make sure I had a backup plan in place in case weather took a turn for the worst (which isn't uncommon in western Washington). Also, if we had to move inside, the inside option would have been too small had we invited more than 100 people -- we were right on that limit, but had reserved the venue under the idea that we could get up to 125. Thankfully, the weather was nice -- we were lucky. However I did not appreciate that I wasn't made to feel like I was able to even consider a back-up plan. I also did not appreciate a tour being given while we had paid to reserve that venue for our wedding, nor the fact that photos of tons of other couples were up all around the venue serving as advertisements. I'm grateful for my other vendors who helped take care of the day-of coordinating and making sure everything went smoothly. As far as the beauty of the venue, I highly recommend A Chapel on Swan's Trail. However in regards to weather and assistance with planning, I would recommend not relying on their services and hiring your own. I highly credit my photographer and DJ for making sure my wedding went as smoothly as it did. read more

Lynn (owner) and Cathy (coordinator) were GREAT throughout. Of course the chapel and grounds are charming. We looked at hundreds of venues online to get married and looked at a several in person, but we quickly focused on A Chapel On Swan's Trail because of the historic chapel, the well groomed grounds, the banquet area, kitchen, gazebo, etc. The list goes on and on. We wanted a church wedding and an outdoor reception and this place fit the bill perfectly in one quaint location. If you're looking for a place to marry and your guest list is around 100 or less, you CAN'T go wrong here. read more

Our daughter was married here just last weekend, August 2014. We could not have asked for a better location or people to work with. Lynn, the owner, was fabulous. We communicated regularly, we visited the property several times and were always greeted graciously. We hired 2 of Lynn's staff for the event and they were worth every penny. The property is perfect for weddings and other events that include multiple generations. Lynn and her crew made this the most memorable day ever. read more
