Are you dreaming of a wedding day just for you and your loved ones? A day where you feel like royalty, surrounded by beauty, and without any strangers watching? The Emerald Cottage is the perfect spot!
Imagine saying “I do” by a sparkling lake, with wildflowers blooming around you. This lake is all yours! There are no noisy boats, or people walking by or fishing while you take photos. The lake is private, so only you and your guests can enjoy its quiet beauty. It’s like having your very own secret garden, just for your wedding day!


Why is that so special?
Resorts and public places can be pretty, but sometimes you have to share the space with many other people. Your wedding pictures might have strangers in the background, or you might feel like people are watching your special moments. At The Emerald Cottage in Brainerd MN, it’s different! The Emerald Cottage is all on private land. This means no one will be observing your wedding except the people you invited. It’s a truly private party for you and your loved ones.
- Your photos will be amazing! Imagine beautiful pictures of you and your partner, with only the lake and nature as your backdrop. There won’t be crowded beaches or public spaces in your wedding album.
- You’ll feel totally relaxed! When it’s just you and your guests, you can truly be yourselves and enjoy every minute. You won’t have to worry about people you don’t know watching your special day.
- It’s all about you! Your wedding day should reflect your love story. Having a private space lets you create the wedding you’ve always dreamed of, without distractions.
