If you’ve enjoyed an event at the historic Marysville Opera House or teed off from the manicured greens at Cedarcrest Golf Course, you know how special they are. Readers around Snohomish County agree. The Opera House was named Best Wedding Venue and Cedarcrest was named runner-up for Best Golf Course in The Daily Herald’s 2024 “Best of Snohomish County” awards. 

Best Wedding Venue

The Marysville Opera House was built in 1911 for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization. After the Odd Fellows lodge disbanded in the 1960s, the building had a colorful history, including stints as a roller skating rink, an indoor shooting range, a furniture store and a teen disco nightclub. The City of Marysville bought the Opera House in 2018 and has renovated it to retain its elegant charm. It is the only building in Marysville listed on the historic register. 

Features include a magnificent ballroom and stage, charming mezzanine, picturesque balcony, modern A/V systems and separate get-ready cottage. Check out the venue for your next special event at free open houses held the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1225 3rd St., Marysville WA 98270.
