The Cotton Room was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was easy and timely, making the planning process so much smoother. The quality of their work and the overall value was simply beautiful and romantic and definitely worth the price! Courtney, our coordinator, was incredibly organized and answered all of our questions with patience and care. Their staff was efficient and very kind to us and all of our guests. The space itself is so gorgeous that decorations were a breeze - their all-inclusive experience made wedding planning stress-free. The Cotton Room team knows exactly what they're doing and they execute it flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day.
A perfect night!

From the first time we reached out, the team at The Cotton Room was prompt, friendly, and relaxed in all their communications, putting us at ease throughout the stressful wedding planning process. On the day of, their exceptional service and attention to detail were evident - they handled our guests' dietary restrictions with ease, and took amazing care of my husband and I, ensuring we were well-fed and cared for amidst the excitement. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, and the food was truly exceptional, receiving rave reviews from all of our guests. We are so grateful to the wonderful staff at The Cotton Room for helping make our wedding day perfect!!!
