I can’t thank them enough. Our venue canceled on us last minute and I reached out and they not only were they caring and professional but they moved a bunch around to accommodate me and my wedding 3 weeks before the wedding. It was clean and beautiful and would even rent again for a birthday party or anniversary party. Thank you for making our day so special

The Cottage Wedding Venue 

4.8

Gilbert, AZ
  • Up to 155 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,980

Your wedding should be a representation of your individual personalities as well as your mutual love and vibe as a couple. It showcases you in front of your guests and sets the tone as to what the new chapter of your life starts out as. It all starts with a venue. Location is arguably the most important part of the wedding planning process. It is not only the first thing that will make an impact, but the entire atmosphere will be infused into every aspect of the event. That’s why, couples who love to be outdoors, are moving away from traditional wedding options and choosing backyard weddings with a more comfortable event venue and atmosphere. You don’t need to fly to an exotic place to have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day. While the sandy beaches and mountains are nice, the trees and blooming flowers in a garden are just as good. Another advantage of organizing your wedding outdoors is to let Mother Nature take the lead in decorating.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space

Chef Sal cooks the most delicious food for any type of menu. They have a wonderful crew of trusted vendors that will make sure your event is the best it can be. The Cottage Wedding Venue is my favorite venue. It's the perfect place for a backyard wedding.

I had so many compliments from my guests about how beautiful the wedding was!
