    Amazing venue!

    gosh idk where to begin with how amazing the cottage owner Dina and her staff as well as her vendors (dj/photographer/ cake bakery) are! they really make your pinterest wedding boards come true and then some. the cottage is one of those venues where you are not sure of at first but then quickly love once you select your pacakage and once you sit /meet with the team. the cottage makes it easy in every literal way for you and your husband -to-be! the cost - the space- the options -the flexibility and the quick responses when you have 1000s questions! - is why i adore this place. i attended a few Open Houses before our wedding day to taste the food & to get my visions going for our day. Each time i attended i was welcomed with smiles and conversations and questions answered if i had any.
    fast forward to my wedding weekend. we expected rain and had to have backup plans. communication with dina and my coordinator was open and any time there was a problem that arrived a solution was provided. the cottage was quick to their feet and worked with all the vendors that day to ensure everything flowed. despite the rain, mud and craziness of the day - not a single guest noticed we were officially on plan D. it went that smooth🙂 the day flew by and i loved every minute. oh and the food was so delicious from the apps to the dinner to the cake!!
    thank you cottage , Dina, cottage vendors and team for making our wedding amazing!

    Exceeded expectations

    Dina and the staff at The Cottage went above and beyond the day of our wedding. The sky decided to open up minutes before the ceremony and there was a mad dash with the employees to salvage table decor. Dina and Destiny managed to calm my nerves and reorganize to put together an intimate indoor ceremony. The guests were all very impressed with the wedding.

    The Cottage Wedding Venue's reply:

    Thank you Heather! Your Big Day will always be memorable. You were kind and patient through out all changes:)

    Incredible

    I found this venue by a stroke of luck. I had already booked another venue. I saw an ad of the Cottage Venue on Facebook. I decided to give it a shot and check it out. The venue was nice and it seemed perfect for our event. It has multiple packages and I picked the bells and whistles which had everything. I didn't need to deal with vendors. They provided the DJ (DJ Vital) who was phenomenal and the photography team (Anthony) was top notch. Super fun event and all the guests praised it. Decor was light but plenty. Service was top notch.

    Now the main thing: Food. Absolutely incredible. I have never seen so many guests praise food like this at any event I've been to. If food is something you are worrying about, this is the venue to get proper incredible food. There was a ton of leftover and towards the end of the event, it was already neatly packed for takeout.

    All in all, highly recommend this place. Thanks.

    Destiny and Dina were the managers and simply great.

Dina & Sal Zappone
Owner

Dina was born in Chicago to immigrant parents from Sicily. As a youngster she moved to Shiny Las Vegas! Her parents had the hopes of opening Pizzeria’s and not shoveling snow. Villa Roma quickly became a family business, and she began to work there at the ripe age of 7. Later she went on to graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology at UNLV, but always remained in the restaurant business. While serving at The Mirage hotel, she was offered a Beverage Manager position she quickly accepted, and oversaw 16 bars and 90 bartenders. Dina decided to leave the fast life and move to Rainy Portland, Oregon, where she managed for a Restaurant group for 4 years. Something always pulled her back to her hometown. In 2004, she accepted the General Manager position of the Italian Restaurant at the The Mirage, packed her bags and quickly went back to work. Low and behold a handsome Italian Chef shyly cooking in the French restaurant. Sal and Dina were introduced and a true love of life, cooking, and each other blossomed. They have owned and operated 2 restaurants and a catering company, while raising their beloved children Bella and Enzo. It was Dina’s nagging dream to open a wedding venue that started the Vision Board. When Cozy Weddings of Gilbert went up for sale, for the second time, they were ready. The Cottage will host lavish parties under the stars, and quaint chapel ceremony indoors. Together Sal and Dina l continue to pursue their passion together.
