    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!!!
