The Cottage at Woodland Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we felt a very comfortable setting. The staff answered all of our questions and provided great examples and even photos that helped us visualize our special day. Their vintage yet fresh ideas were just what we were looking for. The Cottage staff shared thoughtful suggestions on how to make our wedding day feel truly special for us. It was unknown territory, but the staff made us feel right at home throughout the entire planning process. We are so grateful to the entire team at The Cottage for helping to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.
