Your wedding should be a representation of your individual personalities as well as your mutual love and vibe as a couple. It showcases you in front of your guests and sets the tone as to what the new chapter of your life starts out as. It all starts with a venue. Location is arguably the most important part of the wedding planning process. It is not only the first thing that will make an impact, but the entire atmosphere will be infused into every aspect of the event. That’s why, couples who love to be outdoors, are moving away from traditional wedding options and choosing backyard weddings with a more comfortable event venue and atmosphere. You don’t need to fly to an exotic place to have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day. While the sandy beaches and mountains are nice, the trees and blooming flowers in a garden are just as good. Another advantage of organizing your wedding outdoors is to let Mother Nature take the lead in decorating.

From the very first time we reached out to The Cottage Wedding Venue, their communication style was quick, prompt, friendly, and thorough. They helped us plan every detail of our special day with ease, and the end result was a beautiful, unique, unstuffy, airy, and bespoke setting that felt tailored just for us. I never once felt stressed throughout the entire process, as the staff members went above and beyond to ensure I had a perfect day. The bartender was also incredibly attentive, always making sure I had my favorite cocktail in my hand. The Cottage Wedding Venue truly exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful for their incredible service.
