Micro Mini Wedding

My small wedding at Storybook Cottage was everything I could have dreamed. The cottage is beautiful and the Gathering Room served as a perfect location for both the ceremony and reception for our 16 guests. Kathleen and Jack are great to work with and Jack, as our celebrant, tailored the ceremony to fit us perfectly. This was the perfect spot for our micro mini wedding.

Baby Shower!

We had a baby shower in their lovely cottage. There was plenty of space for all of our activities and lunch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
