Exclusive Catering Services

Often Ranging From $12 – $35 Per Person For A Lovely Meal

The Emerald Cottage has partnered exclusively with a couple of fantastic caterers + a delightful baker (for morning weddings)

Whether your celebration calls for luxury charcuterie boards, elegant boxed meals, a sophisticated sit-down plated dinner, or a bountiful buffet, we have the perfect culinary experience to match your vision.

Our lavish charcuterie boards are artfully arranged with the finest meats, cheeses, fruits, and accompaniments, perfect for grazing and indulging. For those seeking convenience with a touch of class, our boxed meals are thoughtfully curated to offer delicious, high-quality dishes without compromising on flavor or presentation. If you’re dreaming of an elegant, formal dining experience, our plated dinners are designed to impress, with each course meticulously prepared and served to perfection. For a more relaxed yet equally indulgent experience, our buffet-style offerings allow your guests to savor a variety of expertly crafted dishes at their own pace. No matter the style of your event, we ensure that your dining experience is not just a meal, but a memorable part of your special day.

The Important Details:

The Emerald Cottage has three exclusive caterers to choose from.

  • Most meals are buffet or plated. But we also offer fun options like luxury charcuterie boards and boxed meals
  • For morning weddings, there are numerous flavors of bagels, scones, muffins, even caramel & cinnamon rolls starting at $2 per person
  • There isn’t a china requirement
  • You’ll work directly with the caterer, so there is no markup by The Emerald Cottage on your bill
  • The Emerald Cottage does not take commission on food – which would inflate your total catering bill! This is common in the wedding industry
