Brainerd, MN Cottage Wedding Venue
Elegant and Affordable
Natural and Intimate
Indoor and Outdoor
Imagine Saying ‘I Do’ Here… at The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane!
Nestled on private property with a natural lake, trees, wild flowers, and abundant green spaces, our Brainerd cottage wedding venue is a serene, 4.5 acre, hideaway located in the heart of Minnesota, but still a breeze to get to off a main highway.
Being a location that’s a little over 2 hours from Minneapolis and St. Paul means that whether you’re gathering guests from near or far, you can rest assured that The Enchanted Cottage is a venue providing both privacy and proximity to hotels, Air bnb’s, Nisswa (the cutest little tourist town), airports, and amenities.
… and extra, non-wedding day adventures nearby like shopping, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, world-class mountain biking trails, and so much more.
