How to Have a Luxury Wedding on a Smaller Scale at The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane

Where Luxury Meets Intimacy
There’s a growing trend among modern couples: choosing smaller weddings that feel more meaningful, personal, and beautifully intentional. At The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane, we believe that luxury isn’t about guest count — it’s about experience.
Imagine a ceremony surrounded by lush greenery, the soft reflection of the lake glimmering nearby. Inside, golden chandeliers light up the cottage as your closest loved ones gather for an elegant dinner filled with laughter and joy. Every moment feels warm, relaxed, and deeply personal — that’s the beauty of an intimate luxury wedding.
Why Smaller Weddings Feel More Elegant
Choosing a small wedding venue in Minnesota means you can focus on what truly matters. With fewer guests, you can create a setting filled with exquisite details — custom floral arrangements, artisan cakes, fine linens, and candlelit tablescapes that make your day feel magical.
The Emerald Cottage’s design naturally lends itself to beauty. Every space — from its light-filled interior to its garden paths — feels intentional and romantic. Brides love how the cottage blends elegance and nature, creating the perfect mix of refined and relaxed.

Luxury Is About How It Feels
At our Minnesota cottage wedding venue, luxury isn’t measured by size — it’s found in the experience. When you celebrate at The Emerald Cottage, you have time to slow down, breathe, and truly connect.
Here, you can laugh freely, share stories with your guests, and savor your meal without rushing from one moment to the next. Whether you’re hosting 20 guests or 60, your day will feel deeply personal, beautifully styled, and entirely your own.
It’s a place where every photo looks like a page from a fairytale — light, nature, and love all blending together effortlessly.
