Question 1

Do you have accessible facilities?

Accepted Answer

The pathways are wide, level, and free of obstacles. Wheelchairs can access each ceremony site. *Please note: the walkways and driveway are gravel, so extra assistance may be needed. If your event is scheduled in the winter, we will need advanced notice to accommodate wheelchairs.

Question 2

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Accepted Answer

We have an approved vendor list with suggestions on who to contact for food and alcohol service. These vendors have the liquor licenses required to serve on our property. No outside alcohol can be brought onto the property for any events.

Question 3

Are there any sound restrictions?

Accepted Answer

The Emerald Cottage encourages you to contact your favorite string quartet, guitarist or other string instrument player to add to the beautiful ambience of our location. We are happy to provide a few for you to contact.

Question 4

Do you have on-site parking?

Accepted Answer

Our on-site parking area can accommodate 16 vehicles. Vendors may use the driveway and our parking lot to unload and park. We suggest carpooling.

Question 5

What does a wedding day look like?

Accepted Answer

We want your day to be as laid back and stress-free as possible. We will provide you with a sample timeline of the day and can help you to fine-tune the hours you have reserved at The Emerald Cottage. We ask that your guests and officiant arrive 15-minutes before the ceremony. Our staff will greet your guests, assist with parking, and show them to your ceremony site. The bride can remain in her vehicle, hidden from view until it is time to walk down the aisle. Be sure to talk with your photographer about how their time with you will be spent during your reserved hours.

Question 6

Is there somewhere for us to get dresses?

Accepted Answer

At this time, our accommodations do not include bridal party suites. Please come dressed and ready to walk down the aisle 15 minutes early. Be sure to work with your photographer so they capture your arrival at The Emerald Cottage.

Question 7

What happens in case of rain?

Accepted Answer

If rain is in the forecast, we will work with you to help decide where to have your ceremony. With just 60 minutes notice, we can easily move your outdoor ceremony inside The Emerald Cottage, where you can hear the rain surrounding you & your guests from the comfort of the cozy cottage setting.

Question 8

Do we need to get insurance?

Accepted Answer

Event insurance is required. To make this easier for you, we have partnered with Nuptual. After you schedule your date with us, you will receive information from Nuptial with the link to purchase the approved policy. The cost is $200-$250. The email you receive will provide you with more information. *We have commercial insurance to protect us. Event insurance is for your protection.
