Stunning Venue!

The Cottonwood was an absolutely stunning venue for our October wedding! We worked with Kaymie on the event planning side and Jon for our room block and both were extremely helpful and responsive. The whole reception went off seamlessly, the food was delicious, and the photos turned out beautifully!
