Top 5 Things To Know Before Touring Our Wedding Venue

At The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane, we’ve got your back! 💕 We know wedding planning can be a whirlwind, so before you even step foot inside our dreamy venue, here are our top 5 tips to make your tour smooth, fun, and totally worth it:

1. Know Your Guest Count

Let’s get real—whether you’re inviting 20 or 60, having a solid idea of your guest count helps us show you exactly how your big day could flow. Plus, we’ll help you envision how your closest crew will fit perfectly into our intimate setting.

2. Bring Your Questions (and a Notebook)

This is your chance to grill us (in the nicest way, of course). Want to know about parking, catering options, or if your dog can be the ring bearer? Ask away! Writing them down beforehand means you won’t forget to ask that one super-important thing in the excitement of seeing all the pretty details.

3. Have a Budget in Mind

We’re here to make your wedding beautiful and budget-friendly. Knowing your numbers helps us guide you through the options that align with your vision—whether it’s how to maximize décor or where to splurge for those extra-special touches. Our most expensive package is only $8,500…so reasonable and affordable.

4. Bring Your “Ride or Die” People

Whether it’s your partner, mom, or bestie who knows your Pinterest board like the back of their hand, bring someone whose opinion you trust. They’ll help you soak in all the details and make the experience even more fun (and probably snap some behind-the-scenes pics).

5. Come Ready to Dream Big

The Emerald Cottage is so much more than a venue—it’s your blank canvas for creating the wedding of your dreams. From serene lakeside views to magical woodland vibes, let your imagination run wild while we show you all the ways we can bring your vision to life.
