Amazing Venue! Best Baby Shower!

Host my formal Indian baby shower here. The Little Cottage is an absolute dream venue. Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing, but the staff is incredible. As a party planner myself, I look for good vendor relationships when I’m searching for my own events. Everyone I met from beginning to end for my baby shower was so kind, flexible, and attentive at The Little Cottage.

Professionalism: we were given clear directions and instructions on what we were able to do. They offered multiple walk throughs for our various vendors, kept us updated, helped suggest table arrangements, and more!

Convenience: Parking and Accessibility was important to us having been to venues where set up was complex or elderly guests had a hard time finding the entrance. With a large parking lot, accessible ramp and round level venue, there were zero complaints. We DIY’d all decor, using their trolley carts to transport our decor and desserts table. Easy, convenient and took virtually no time.

Catering: It is surprising that in 2024 there are still so many venues that do not allow for ethnic catering at their venues. Again, The Little Cottage didn’t disappoint. We were able to bring in a licensed, insured Indian caterer for our event, which was very important to our families. However, we also wanted a separate pizza food truck. They allowed us to bring in two caterers! Both set up live stations in different areas and the food was a HIT! You have access to a full caterer’s kitchen, since this venue is owned by a chef himself nothing was spared. There is a walk-in fridge and freezer to store food for you or your catering team as well!!

Ambiance and Cleanliness: 5/5 in terms of cleanliness. Bathrooms are beautiful and well maintained. There was no concern about cleanliness. The entire venue is a beautiful brick white, easy to decorate with minimally or you can go over the top if you want! There’s two beautiful bars for drinks, dessert displays or whatever else you want. There’s also a bridal suite, which was so nice. This gave our guests a private place if needed to change diapers, breast feed, change toddlers clothing, etc.

Overall, I cannot recommend this venue and their staff more. Breanna, Drew, Seamus, you all are the best! Thank you a ton!!

Event Success!

We had the best experience with booking The Little Cottage for our wedding reception. Stephanie helped us so much and was so responsive to our many questions. She also met with us several times at the venue to answer questions and allow us to make tweaks to the floor plan. We also booked their catering services (Endive - they were delicious!). The inside of the venue is so versatile - a true blank canvas, so the venue can be transformed into anything you could ever imagine. The fireplace served as a beautiful backdrop for our sweetheart table, we utilized part of the space for a dance floor, used the outdoor patio with tables and chairs, and the wooden patio to set up cornhole boards. Chef Drew was on-site the night of our event and my wedding coordinator just kept giving me compliments about him and his whole team on the service they provided for the evening. I just had to pass that compliment along!! We have no regrets booking with Little Cottage, and I loved being able to have a reception venue local to my home. Little Cottage exceeded our expectations!

A night to remember

I just got married at this venue and it was amazing! Drew and Stephanie were so hands on and made it so easy. The venue is the perfect backdrop and so gorgeous at night with twinkle lights and reflection pond! The food was incredible. Drew gave us such amazing dishes that my guests raved about all night! It was a success all around!!! Definitely a venue worth choosing!!

Beautiful venue, great food, awesome staff

This venue was perfect for a Winter Wonderland themed wedding. The staff was very responsive and attentive. The food was delicious. They had lots of options including gluten free. The bartender made great mocktails for us non-drinkers. I would definitely recommend.

Effortless Coordination!

My wedding would not have been as well planned and executed if it were not for The Little Cottage, Endive and Stephanie!! I showed up to the venue with my bridesmaids and I did not have a care in the world because I knew every little detail was accounted for! We had about 60 guests and the venue was super spacious! Very clean and modern!

The food was incredible and everyone kept commenting on how delicious the paella and beef short ribs were! I would recommend this venue and caterer for any event, not just weddings. Stephanie is the coordinator every bride dreams of! Compatible and reliable for all, is how I would describe this dream team!

A hidden gem in a bustling city!

Absolutely wonderful venue

We loved the Little Cottage for our party. The staff were so easy to work with, considerate and accommodating. The space was beautiful and truly special. The food was absolutely delicious and there were many options and variety. We were so impressed with the staff throughout the event and planning. I am putting my costs to include venue rental, food/catering and bar/drinks.

The Waddell’s

Excellent! That is the only word that comes to mind when thinking about my wedding day & the venue. The little cottage is so accommodating. Period. They don’t try to up sell you or nickel and dime you. Planning a wedding was stressful enough & they make sure to hold your hand every step of the way & take that stress off of you. The venue was beautiful & had enough space to be as creative as possible. Also working with Stephanie was a dream come true. I think every bride should get to experience a coordinator as caring, understanding & helpful as she is. I don’t know what I would have done without her.

Amazing experence!

I've worked in the events and catering industry for over 8 years and this is THE BEST venue in the Atlanta area! The owner and Stephanie Mule were beyond incredible through the entire process and made our dreams a reality. The facility is beautifully renovated and has too many features and highlights to list. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the space and experience was. 15/10 would recommend The Little Cottage for any event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
