    Amazing venue!

    gosh idk where to begin with how amazing the cottage owner Dina and her staff as well as her vendors (dj/photographer/ cake bakery) are! they really make your pinterest wedding boards come true and then some. the cottage is one of those venues where you are not sure of at first but then quickly love once you select your pacakage and once you sit /meet with the team. the cottage makes it easy in every literal way for you and your husband -to-be! the cost - the space- the options -the flexibility and the quick responses when you have 1000s questions! - is why i adore this place. i attended a few Open Houses before our wedding day to taste the food & to get my visions going for our day. Each time i attended i was welcomed with smiles and conversations and questions answered if i had any.
    fast forward to my wedding weekend. we expected rain and had to have backup plans. communication with dina and my coordinator was open and any time there was a problem that arrived a solution was provided. the cottage was quick to their feet and worked with all the vendors that day to ensure everything flowed. despite the rain, mud and craziness of the day - not a single guest noticed we were officially on plan D. it went that smooth🙂 the day flew by and i loved every minute. oh and the food was so delicious from the apps to the dinner to the cake!!
    thank you cottage , Dina, cottage vendors and team for making our wedding amazing!

    Thank you Janice! Your wedding will truly go down in the books as one of the most memorable and fun!!

    Exceeded expectations

    Dina and the staff at The Cottage went above and beyond the day of our wedding. The sky decided to open up minutes before the ceremony and there was a mad dash with the employees to salvage table decor. Dina and Destiny managed to calm my nerves and reorganize to put together an intimate indoor ceremony. The guests were all very impressed with the wedding.

    The Cottage Wedding Venue's reply:

    Thank you Heather! Your Big Day will always be memorable. You were kind and patient through out all changes:)

    Incredible

    I found this venue by a stroke of luck. I had already booked another venue. I saw an ad of the Cottage Venue on Facebook. I decided to give it a shot and check it out. The venue was nice and it seemed perfect for our event. It has multiple packages and I picked the bells and whistles which had everything. I didn't need to deal with vendors. They provided the DJ (DJ Vital) who was phenomenal and the photography team (Anthony) was top notch. Super fun event and all the guests praised it. Decor was light but plenty. Service was top notch.

    Now the main thing: Food. Absolutely incredible. I have never seen so many guests praise food like this at any event I've been to. If food is something you are worrying about, this is the venue to get proper incredible food. There was a ton of leftover and towards the end of the event, it was already neatly packed for takeout.

    All in all, highly recommend this place. Thanks.

    Destiny and Dina were the managers and simply great.

    A Magical Place For A Magical Day

    My new hubby and I cannot praise this venue enough. It is seriously, 100% the best. Dina and her staff are incredible. They went above and beyond for us. Dina responds promptly (sometimes even within minutes of an email), and she's so incredibly sweet! She accomodated all of our needs and then some. The venue itself is gorgeous and intimate. The food is made on site and is absolutely delicious! It's also affordable. This venue is worth every penny. We went with their most inclusive package and it made wedding planning basically strees free. This is a venue you can trust with your special day.

    The Cottage Wedding Venue - Awesome

    I REALLY wish there was a rating higher than 5 Stars!
    This place deserves double or triple that number!

    Last week was our daughters wedding and Dina, Sal and the entire staff knocked it out of the park!

    Let's start with the venue itself. It is gorgeous and a perfect setting for a wedding. It has great areas for the service itself, plenty of spots for great photos, dancing, gazebos, ballroom, brides suite and on and on. They can make it as fancy or as laid back as your want it.

    The staff! We can't say enough about the entire staff and all the vendors we used for the day. Dina is amazing! She was involved since day one of the planning all the way through to the end of the reception. Even going above and beyond helping the bride with a dress issue just before the wedding. She made sure it was a spectacular day and nothing was going to let the bride and groom down.

    Chef Sal is the amazing genius behind the food. Everyone raved about the food after the day was done. I have been to many wedding receptions and there has never been any better cuisine served. He even made the desserts when what the bride wanted wasn't available through the cake vendor. The cannolis and the cheese cake are out of this world!
    The rest of the staff was great also from the planning of the decor to the layout of the wedding they handled everything and made everything much less stressful. Thanks to everyone here.
    One special shout out to Rachel the dj. She kept everyone moving and grooving and was our acting MC that kept the night moving along. She made the night so memorable. Her business is run under DJRachelZ on Facebook.

    The food.! OMG I could write a book long review on just the food! Sal certainly outdid himself in the kitchen. Chianti braised beef, chicken picatta, tortellini in pesto all amazing. The salad, vegetables and desserts were the absolute best. Almost forgot the appetizers, caprese skewers and marinated steak skewers.. There were none left they were so good!


    All in all we highly recommend The Cottage Wedding Venue. You won't be disappointed. If there are any questions please feel free to ask! Thanks again Dina, Sal and everyone else!

    Super cute for a couple on a budget

    This was the cutest venue for a small wedding! We had 50 guests the wedding looked full but not overcrowded. Super cute decor with fun activities for guests throughout the venue! The price was also the best price!!

    Perfection!

    Everything about our wedding was perfect, beautiful, and everything we hoped for! Dina and Kailey are so kind and helpful, and made sure our day went exactly as planned! I cannot stress enough how amazing this venue is. The pricing is VERY reasonable for everything that is included! I was honestly amazed at how great of a deal it was! We chose the brunch package and couldn’t have been happier! We chose our own photographer and videographer, but the rest of the vendors came with the venue. And they were all amazing! The food is SO delicious, I still think about it over a month later! Definitely hire them for your wedding or other special event. You won’t regret it!

    Perfect Experience

    My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here in October, everything about our wedding went better than we could have imagined! During the entire process Dina and Kailey were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating. They were very professional and provided timely communication during the planning and final details. We had the Petite Wedding Package since we had a small guest list and everything was wonderful! Highly recommend this venue!

    The Best Bridal Shower Experience Ever!

    I had reserved a restaurant for my daughter's bridal shower which was not going to be open by June because of Covid-19. I searched and searched for another venue and I'm so glad I found the The Cottage! It was SO much better and less expensive! We had the entire house to ourselves. It is so quaint and Dina attends to every detail down to menu, colors, flowers, you name it! Her husband, the chef, even made a special pasta dish for a vegan guest. We served brunch, and the food was fabulous. We had a Mimosa Bar and they provided a bartender as part of the package as long as you bring your own Prosecco. She made sure there was extra sanitation and was very understanding about elderly guests having jitters to be out. I think this is Gilbert's hidden gem.

    Amazing staff

    My husband and I lived in Vegas and were planning our Gilbert wedding with this venue, not an easy taste but this venue and their staff made it incredibly easy! I saw the venue once before our rehearsal and the staff working there was amazing and so helpful!! It’s a cozy and homey venue, my husband and I, and our guests, loved that there were so many areas to hang out in the backyard, if you didn’t love to be on the dance floor! I cannot thank the staff enough for being so attentive, I showed up on my wedding day very sick, but the show needed to go on! I was not on my A game, but the staff for sure was! They made the day so easy for my husband and I! Such a cute and accommodating venue!

    I had my baby shower here and it was such an amazing experience! Dina at the cottage was always so responsive if I ever had questions. I definitely recommend having your wedding, baby shower, or any other event at The Cottage as they helped so much! Also the taco bar was so delicious!

    Perfect Wedding Night

    We loved everything about our wedding at The Cottage. The venue allows you to have a wedding on a budget without sacrificing quality. Dina's food was amazing and we had so many compliments from our guests (there was nothing left at the end). The venue overall was beautiful at night with all of the decorations and lights. We used their recommended Photographer, Florist, Officiant and Pastry Chef. They all did a wonderful job. The ability to bring your own alcohol was a plus and our bartender was perfect. Kailey (the wedding planner) did a wonderful job on the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran accordingly. The only tip to future wedding couples is to have people designated at the end of the night to pack up all of your stuff. That was one thing we weren't as prepared for. Otherwise, we couldn't be more happy with our wedding.

    Beautiful and Affordable

    Our wedding at The Cottage was more than we could have hoped for. Considering the reasonable pricing of their packages, The Cottage offers tremendous value in both customer service as well as flexibility and aesthetic appeal. Our wedding was beautiful and all of the sweet, romantic touches that the location provides added perfectly to the cozy but elegant feel we had in mind. We got so many complements from our guests about the venue, and even though I had seen samples of everything I was still blissfully surprised and amazed by how gorgeous everything came together!
    The staff is great and the vendors that they work with are ALL amazing. The weather was a little iffy in the days before our wedding, but Dina and her staff developed a back up plan for our outdoor layout and assured us that no matter what our plans would fit what we hoped for. Luckily, the weather held up and we were able to have our Plan A layout, but we know that it would have been a beautiful setup no matter what!
    The Cottage is a wonderful venue for a wedding if you are looking for great customer service and flexibility as well as a beautiful backdrop for your big day while not pay an enormous upcharge!
