We absolutely loved our experience at the cottage farmhouse. The owners were so friendly - they were very responsive over email and answered all of our questions. We got a day of coordinator when we booked our wedding and she made the day run so smoothly. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was along with how good the catering was. We also loved all the locations available to use! Overall, would highly recommend! Reviewed on 31-10-2023

My husband and I were very disappointed with our experience at the cottage farmhouse. Our wedding was late October and we had asked about the venue being heated multiple times throughout our engagement and were always reassured that there was heat and our guests would be warm in the reception barn. We had our final walkthrough and asked about the propane heaters they had in storage. We were told they donât rent them out anymore because the barn was heated and not to worry. The day of our wedding came and it was a windy 30 degree day. The first cold day of fall. Family members decorated the reception barn in the morning, their fingers were red and numb because it was so cold inside the barn. We asked about the heat and were told it was on and would warm up. The day went on and the reception barn did not get above 54 degrees. Our guests were wearing jackets while they ate, my 88 year old grandmother was wrapped in blankets. Guests were going to the bathroom or their vehicles just to warm up. We had the property until 11 and everyone had left by 930 because they were cold. We were not able to do the dollar dance because so many guests left early. We were very disappointed and contacted the owners wanting a partial refund. They responded saying they have a seasonal venue and are climate controlled for fall temps not winter. They gave us $250 back, not even a fourth of what we paid. We feel we should have gotten more money back. They should not be advertising a climate controlled building. They reassured us throughout the day that our guests would be warm and did nothing to actually make that happen. They knew the weather forecast for the day and couldâve used other things to help heat the building for us and our guests. Many of our guests have contacted us since our wedding apologizing for leaving early, saying they were too cold to stay longer. Many guests have also asked us why it was so cold if we were told it was heated. Overall, the venue is beautiful but we had a very negative experience there. We will not recommend the cottage farmhouse to others. Reviewed on 01-01-2024

We got married at TCF in October and it was the most perfect day ever. The entire day went seamlessly thanks to our coordinator, vendors, and all the staff on venue! It is the perfect little barn venue and the pictures and memories will last a lifetime. The owners also surprised us morning of the wedding with a sweet wedding gift of personalized cookies and draping services (because they had done a shoot earlier that week!) I could not recommend TCF more, and the people we worked with made it all the better and memorable!! Reviewed on 09-12-2023

The Cottage Farmhouse could not have worked out better for our day! Bailey, Kim, and Jersey were very communicative and answered all of our questions. Bailey and Kim have put so much work into this venue and it shows! Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue, and we had a ton of space for our 190 guests! Even when we had to make some plan changes the day of due to weather (a bride's worst nightmare!), moving our outdoor ceremony indoors was a smooth transition and worked out so well!

Jenny Blood(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 I cannot say enough AMAZING things about the venue and everyone we worked with. I highly recommend also booking the day-of coordinator option. Kelsie took care of everything so that everyone could relax and enjoy the day. She kept the timing for the wedding, queued the wedding party processional, queued the DJ, worked with every vendor for us. She took all of the burden off of us and we could not have done it without her! TCF has an amazing team that is so positive and sweet, they truly do anything to make your day easy and beautiful. The venue is stunning, they just renovated the reception barn and added on, which was an amazing surprise for us. There are many spots for guests to be during cocktail hour and the reception. The bonfire pit, pergola, and patio were a hit! Both the bridal cottage and granary for the bridesmaids and groomsmen were the perfect spots to get ready. There was plenty of space, a full bathroom and kitchen, mirrors and natural lighting. The granary has a ping pong and pool table for the groomsmen. Their prices are great, they can accommodate for a wide range of guests, and have multiple options for ceremony and reception locations. The catering company they work with has 3 tiers for all different pricing, cuisines and styles. I could go on about how incredible our venue was, I recommend The Cottage Farmhouse to everyone!!

Justin Black(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2021 My wife and I just married this past weekend, May 1st, and I could not write the review fast enough. Kim and Bailey, the owners, were polite, professional, patient, kind and every other positive adjective you could assign to someone. We booked our wedding the first week of March 2020, right before COVID hit, and at the time we didn't think it would be an issue. We proceeded forward thinking that 15 months later COVID would no longer be an issue but clearly we were wrong. Kim and Bailey met with us multiple times, talked us off the ledge, provided us insight into the previous years weddings during the height of COVID, and did everything they could to reassure us that everything would be handled professionally, safely and really set our minds at ease. It was nice working with The Cottage Farmhouse and their exclusive food/beverage vendor, A'Britin Catering. This arrangement let us rest easy that everything would go off without a hitch. Having that exclusive relationship reassures you that they've been there before, they've hosted weddings and prepared food there before, they've bartended/catered there before and know all of the important aspects (where to set up, where to cook, where to put the bar, etc). Speaking of the bar, they have this really cute trailer they use as the bar, which is called Hitch & Sip bar on wheels. They have a beautiful home on the property that is used as the bridal suite. It's an old farm house with all the amenities the bride and her bridesmaids could need to prepare for the big day. The groom and groomsmen have an area of their own separate of the bridal suite that allows them to get ready and relax. The room is outfit with a pool table/ping pong table, a mini fridge, ample lighting and air conditioning for those hot and humid Minnesota Summer days.They have two locations on the property that can be used for the wedding ceremony and they are both absolutely beautiful. The reception barn was perfect for both the reception and the dance to follow.If all of this sounds like a lot, they have an absolutely wonderful wedding coordinator that I would recommend everyone work with if you so choose that service. Kelsie, the wedding coordinator, was there for anything we needed and if there was anything out of sorts or that went wrong, neither of us were ever aware.Overall, there isn't one thing bad we could say about The Cottage Farmhouse. The property, the owners, the wedding coordinator were A++. We will play this day over in our minds for the rest of our lives, and we will never have anything but fond memories when thinking of The Cottage Farmhouse. Reviewed on 05-05-2021

Kate LePage(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-07-2020 My fiancĂŠ and I had a terrible experience with the owners of the venue. After booking with them and clarifying that we needed accommodations for 200 guests, and being assured it would not be a problem we proceeded to plan our wedding. Booking vendors for photography, floral, music, dessert, and spent hours talking through catering and more. After trying to reach out to local hotels multiple times to create a room block for guests we finally heard back and were hit with laughter from staff. We found out that nearly all hotels were booked in a 40 min radius for a local event that was celebrating its 150th anniversary. After talking with the owners Kim and Bailey at The Cottage Farmhouse, they did make some calls for us and found roughly 40 rooms spread out in various hotels within a 40 min drive of the venue. In addition to the rooms being spread out so much that shuttling to and from would have been unreasonable, 14 of the beds were communal living at the local bed and breakfast. As much as it was great of them to try to help, where it was rather disgusting to us is they felt this was sufficient for 200 guests all traveling a minimum of 2 hour to attend and some traveling out of the country and out of state. Even going so far as to pat themselves on the back for their assistance. Either they are unaware of local impeding events happening locally (not a great look for a wedding coordinating business) or they did know about the event and are willing to lie rather than have best intentions for their clients. Either way, we recommend skipping this venue. In addition to this there were many hidden fees and a lot of restrictions within their one approved catering company. Reviewed on 07-02-2020
Matt Wind(groom)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-07-2020 My fiancĂŠ and I had the absolute WORST experience with the owners (Kim and Bailey). I strongly encourage you to avoid this location. Our issue wasnât with the venue itself- the venue is quite beautiful. Our issue came into play by the deceptive owners. We took a tour of this property in September and we really enjoyed the venue itself. We let Kim know multiple times that we have a wedding party of 220 people and many would be coming from out of state/country and that hotel accommodations were a vital part of the wedding process. Kim ASSURED us we would have absolutely no issues getting a hotel and we trusted her expertise. We ended up booking our wedding date for Friday, July 24th a couple days after the tour and reached out to the hotels to set up a hotel block for the night of the wedding.To our surprise, we were actually laughed at by the hotels for thinking there would be a block available for this weekend. We were informed that July 24th just so happened to be the 150th anniversary of the Wright County Fair and there was a Tractor Pull event that same night.. we were informed that hotels had been booked since last year. This event has taken place the same weekend every year for the last 150 years and the owners decided not to mention that to us when we spoke to the importance of hotel accommodations. (The closest hotel that could accommodate a block was in Chaska which is 40 miles away.)We reached out to Kim and Bailey and asked them about this and they informed us that it isnât their job to know whatâs going on in the community. We found this answer shocking as that is absolutely something their company should be aware of. They did say they wanted to try and help the situation and let us know theyâd get back to us. When they called us back- their resolution was that they had found a total of 30 hotel rooms split among 4 different hotels in 4 different cities.. this âsolutionâ was absolutely ridiculous for so many reasons. Their only other offer was to switch our date which we also couldnât do since many of our guests had already booked their flights to Minnesota. We nicely and professionally reached out to Kim and Bailey again and explained that we unfortunately would have to cancel our venue booking since we had no reasonable hotel accommodations. Kim and Bailey informed us that we would NOT be getting our deposit back since a contract had been signed. We again reminded them that the contract was signed because they assured us they could meet our demands. We sent them another email and they again replied with the fact that a contract had been signed and that they will be keeping our deposit. Unbelievable. Reviewed on 04-02-2020
Clarissa Leiseth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2019 The Cottage Farmhouse is absolutely stunning! Growing up 5 miles from the venue I watched as it transformed from a farm to a beautiful wedding venue the past few years. Its location couldn't be better, you are close enough to the cities but far enough away to still feel a combination of city and country. Before my husband and I got engaged, my mom and I visited their open house and fell in love with the property! While planning our wedding, we did it from out of state, but Kim and Bailey were a joy to work with as they responded swiftly. They don't treat you like the next couple that is getting married at their venue.

We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the space is and I am reminded of it every time I look at our wedding photos! It is the perfect combination of rustic and elegant and I love what they have done with the layout. Kim and Bailey were very easy going and great to work with- always in communication, even over little things (and they truly cared about our big day)! We also had Kelsie as our wedding coordinator and she was a complete lifesaver and handled every little detail so I didn't have to stress.

Bailey and Kim were helpful throughout the whole process making wedding planning a breeze. The CFH is naturally gorgeous but we decided to use some of their decor options which were beautiful and made things SO simple. The fact that we didn't have to buy (and then try to sell later) decor was SO NICE!Also, if you're debating on hiring Kelsie (wedding coordinator), DO IT! She is worth her weight in gold and then some! Along with choosing the CFH as a venue, having Kelsie there was the best decision I made during wedding planning.

The imagines I had in my head came to life on the farm. The staff is amazing easy to get in touch with always willing to answer any and all questions and willing to work with you to get the wedding of your dreams.

The entire process, from start to finish, they truly cared about us and did everything they could to help us make our day unforgettable. Every last minute email was promptly answered which took a lot of the stress off of the final days. And even when keepsake items were left at the venue Kim and Bailey did more than enough to help us get them back. Truly incredible people! Even if you're not getting married you need to get out and see this venue and meet these people. You won't be disappointed. This venue offers both indoor and outdoor locations for the ceremony and reception which makes weather less of a concern when planning a big event so far in the future. On the day of the owners did a perfect job of being available for any last minute questions about decorations without feeling like they were constantly around and looming over everything.

Brook Felchle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2019 The Cottage Farmhouse was a wonderful place to get married. I knew when I met Kim and Bailey, this was the right place for my wedding! Kim and Bailey both, though very professional, felt like long time friends. Every time I had a question, they had a prompt response and were willing to go above and beyond. I got married in July, so we knew it had the potential to be hot outside. We were originally going to get married in the wedding pasture, but since it had rained the week before, it was too muddy and hard to be mowed for the wedding. We made a last minute decision to get married in the barn. The only recommendation I would have for people- is to get married outside(if possible) if it is a warm day outside. The barn gets very warm, even with the fans. There probably would have been more of a breeze outside! I would also recommend the same (an outdoor reception), as it can get warm in the reception barn in the heat. Despite the heat- we locked in and had a fabulous time. Since Kim knew there was potential that the wedding pasture would be too muddy, she set up the barn for us the night before the wedding to potentially accommodate. That was very helpful! The dĂŠcor package is a must- as you will not need to haul in all of your own vases, cake stands etc. They have a lot of good options to make tables beautiful for your guests! One of my favorite parts about this venue is the Bridal Cottage for getting ready. It is so bright and beautiful, and Brides- you will have a lovely time with your girls before the wedding in there. Take advantage of all the beautiful photo ops on the property! We live in the cities and this felt like the perfect little getaway for our guests. Everyone spoke highly of it, and you won't be disappointed if you choose it! Reviewed on 21-08-2019

Robin Jacobs(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 This venue is the perfect venue to make your wedding/event feel secluded from the city and has everything you need. When planning my daughterâs wedding, I was worried that it was too far away from a city in case we needed additional supplies. Itâs close enough to Hutchinson or Glencoe that you can make the quick drive if needed. In our case, additional ice was the only last minute need as it was a bit warmer than expected. They have everything else we could possibly need onsite. The venue itself is clean, fun & tastefully setup. We had a photo camper and Coffee cart come onsite, along with the caterer, and there was plenty of room and power was never a problem. The outdoor part is the bonus! It was hot & windy, but the reception area blocked the wind nicely & the air flowed through to avoid it from being too steamy. There were a few deer that decided to show up near the reception area across the road (beautiful) and we heard pheasants right after the ceremony. Even though itâs right off the highway, there was not many passerbyâs. One car honked during the ceremony, which added to the ceremony celebration. Kelsie and team is a must! They are more than helpful in the setup process, daily schedule and making us feel special the entire day. All our guests really enjoyed this secluded venue and still are talking about how beautiful it was. Be sure to add bug spray to the list and leave it around the fire pit. Itâs MN after all & it helps the guests stay longer! Reviewed on 18-06-2019

Ruth Leborts(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2019 I attended a wedding on a Saturday evening in July of 2018 at the Cottage Farmhouse. It was a very hot, humid day. 87 degrees , humidity about 72%. We had planned for the heat and dressed appropriately. The wedding sight, though a bit of a hike was not too bad if you found a spot to sit in the shade. At 4:30 pm about half the seating area was in the shade. After the wedding we had drinks on the patio. There were several places on the patio to stand or sit in the shade. The meal was served in the Reception Barn. I think there was just over 200 hundred people sitting to eat in the Reception Barn. We were sat at very long rows of tables. The chairs were so close together, side by side, that you could hardly move your arms to eat. There was so little room between the tables it was almost impossible to move your chair to get out. It was extremely hot and stuffy in the barn as we sat so close to the person next to us we could hardly move. There were doors open on one side of the barn. There was a small window with a large fan blowing air towards the outside at one end of the barn. No other windows or doors were open, and no fans were in the barn to move the air. The Reception Barn has a very high ceiling that is tin. The combination of a high ceiling that is tin made the acoustics in the barn really loud. It was impossible to talk to anyone except the people sitting right next to you. And to talk to them I had to almost yell for them to hear me. This Little Piggy catered the meal which was very good. The meat, potatoes and salad were all kept at appropriate temperatures to assure their freshness. The 2 bartenders could not keep up with then number of people in attendance. There was always a very long line to get a non alcoholic or alcoholic drink. When the sun started to go down the mosquitoes came out. They were really bad. I'm not sure who provided the bug spray, but we had to spray ourselves down several times to keep the mosquitoes at bay. I would recommend getting something to give more shade at the ceremony site. I would suggest getting at least 4 very large industrial oscillating fans for the Reception Barn. To help fix the acoustics in the Reception Barn you could put up fabric ceiling draping. The entire area needs to be treated for mosquitoes. Reviewed on 16-07-2018

Kiley Van Daalen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2018 My husband and I got married here on May 20th 2018 - it was seriously our first choice for a Minneapolis area venue and we were so happy to be able to get married here. Kim & Bailey are incredible. They are so helpful, sweet, and they are super organized leading up to the day, and they responded very quickly to every question or concern I had while trying to organize my other venders. I myself am a photographer and I can't recommend the Cottage Farmhouse enough to couples getting married. Worth every penny! Reviewed on 27-05-2018
Lilly Haagenson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-05-2018 I just got married at this venue. The Cottage Farmhouse is rustic charm. Itâs beautiful, and it has amazing spaces! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We asked so many questions along the way because we were doing a lot of DIY decor, and Kim Serbus helped us every step of the way. I loved getting ready In the beautiful house, then having my ceremony in the beautiful barn, and being able to transition right over to the reception barn! We had 240 people, and they filled the space without it feeling crowded. The pergola is one of the main selling points for me, it is unique and provides a great cocktail hour space for mingling. The space accommodated well for the iffy May weather, because we could have our ceremony in the meadow or in the barn, and they set up both ahead of time so you donât have to worry! This venue set the stage for the rustic elegance I dreamed of for my wedding, and Iâm so thankful for that. Having the dance in the main barn was a hit! Honestly everything about this venue is awesome, and I completely and totally recommend it. Reviewed on 26-05-2018
Shelly Haagenson(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-05-2018 Our daughter just got married at The Cottage Farmhouse, and it was a wonderful experience. We came to appreciate why there are exclusive vendors used at the site when we realized how comfortable both the caterers and the bartenders were with the setting and the owners, and therefore how much more confident and helpful they could be to us. We were a do-it-yourself wedding despite all of the extra planning services offered by The Cottage Farmhouse team, and yet Kim Serbus was still willing to answer all of our questions promptly along the way. We used This Little Piggy for our dinner provider; the food was so delicious, and they were over-the-top at making us feel that our wedding was extremely important to them, both in the planning stage and on the wedding day. With A Twist bartender service basically educated us on quantity and type of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to buy, all of which were cheerfully served out of the bar! We hired them to bring the ice, which greatly simplified the day for us. Kim and her daughters were there when we arrived in the morning to help us decide what to do about the iffy weather. The Cottage Farmhouse is somewhat unique in its having two covered spaces, so although our bride and groom had hoped to be married in the meadow, we were able to have the barn all set up in case of cold or rain, and so it was no problem to move indoors. It was lovely, in fact! We never had to spend any of the months before the wedding worrying if weather would spoil the day. The reception barn was full to the brim with tables and guests and celebration (and heaters! - The Farmhouse provides heaters, so our groom's family from Georgia didn't suffer from the cool temperature), and even one of the catering staff commented on how everyone seemed to be enjoying the whole affair. We went back to the main barn afterwards for the dance, and it was a perfect space for that, too. All of our enjoyment of the day doesn't even take into account the outdoor spaces that are part of the property! In our dreams we stood under the pergola and played lawn games and sat around the campfire. :-) In actuality we were busy enjoying all the indoor spaces to the full. Thank you, Kim and Bailey, A'Britin, With A Twist, and all of our own special vendors who came and made the day so memorable! Even the security guard was great! We are a thankful family who won't hesitate to recommend to you The Cottage Farmhouse or anyone associated with it! Reviewed on 25-05-2018
Kayla Barney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 Working with The Cottage Farmhouse was truly such a pleasure! My husband and I loved the venue for not only looks but also location. It is the perfect location if what youâre looking for is quaint and rustic.

Anna Biewen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2018 My husband Sam and I had our wedding at The Cottage Farmhouse last week and it was an absolute dream. There are many wonderful things about The Farmhouse, but I think one of the best things about it is the multitude of spaces to choose from, making it perfect for a Fall wedding. We were lucky enough to have a sunny day, but we could have moved everything inside if necessary. All the beautiful spaces, from the wedding pasture, silo alley, and the ceremony barn to the granary, bridal cottage and pergola make the place incredibly unique.Bailey, Kim and Kelsie were wonderful. They were extremely helpful when we had some technical difficulties with our sound equipment and they made sure everything went smoothly.The caterer and bar tending service you're required to use were amazing. Everyone loved the food and With a Twist allows you to pick and choose your own alcohol, which makes it very affordable. The Cottage Farmhouse is one of the reasons our wedding day was the best day ever! We highly recommend it to everyone! Reviewed on 18-10-2017
Brady Lawrence(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2017 This venue is absolutely perfect for an outdoor wedding and reception! We had the ceremony in the main wood barn, the cocktail hour underneath the pergola, and the reception in the half barn. My wife and her bridal party loved their separate private bridal suite which was the old farm house remodeled. The site has many different options for the ceremony which was great for flexibility and last minute change. We received many compliments from guests on how much fun they had and how amazing the venue was. We even had guests that knew the original farm site owners and they thought the Cottage Farmhouse owners had done a terrific job with the converting the property. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great outdoor wedding venue! Reviewed on 18-10-2017
Stephenie Owens(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-12-2018 We are so glad we booked our venue at The Cottage Farmhouse! It is such a beautiful and unique venue, which was perfect for us. All throughout our reception we received compliments on how gorgeous and spacious it was! Kim and Bailey are so kind and sweet. They have great communication and checked in with us multiple times throughout our wedding to ensure things were running smoothly. We initially toured The Cottage Farmhouse with Kim and she was just so thoughtful and had so many ideas on how we could set up the rooms and gave us so many options on where we could have our ceremony. The Cottage Farmhouse has so much space that you can really decide how spread out or how close you want things to be and you have so many different places you can take photos in! If anyone is looking for a beautiful venue and awesome owners that are able to help with whatever you need to make your day special, I would highly recommend booking with Kim and Bailey at The Cottage Farmhouse. It's seriously perfect! Reviewed on 01-10-2017

Cassandra Theisen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2017 My husband and I recently got married at The Cottage Farmhouse and we had the most amazing day! We had plans to have both our ceremony and reception outside, but due to possible rain we were able to move everything indoors and Kim was very helpful with this process. The main barn is breathtaking and was the perfect spot for our ceremony and our guests loved dancing and eating in the reception barn, as well as getting to hang out under the pergola. We had about 220 guests and everyone fit in both places perfectly. The venue provided great decorating items that we used and they had many tables on site for us to use for other things (dessert, gifts, guestbooks, etc.). They also have the most gorgeous bridal suite and a great granary space for the guys. The bar and catering service they recommended were also both great to work with. We repeatedly heard from our guests during the wedding and afterwards about how beautiful the venue was and we couldn't agree more! The day of went so easily and we had no issues with the venue and the owners were great! Reviewed on 01-09-2017

Alyssa M(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2017 This Venue is stunning! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. The functionality would be great on a perfect day but it rained the entire day of my wedding and me and my guests got wet.. I didn't think about weather accommodations and this venue needs perfect weather. In the end it turned out great we did get married! :) And had to make due with the cold and the wet.

The bridalcottage is to DIE for and my bridesmaids and I had so much fun getting ready in there. Kim was also so fantastic to work with--she was flexible and made us feel very supported and special. For a July/August wedding, it will be hot in the barns due to lack of air conditioning, but the venue is absolutely stunning year round. Highly recommend, especially for a spring or fall wedding!!

Kryn Shook(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-06-2017 I got married at The Cottage Farmhouse on June 10. Everyone raved about how beautitul the venue. My photographers both said it was the best venue they ever shot at (and they have shot MANY weddings.) Kim and Bailey are great to work with and make you feel so special on your big day. You will need to be ready to have a setup crew and tear down crew as they do not provide staff for this, but that is easy enough to coordinate. I loved that I really had complete control of the venue space to make it my own. It was an ideal spot for having an outdoor or indoor wedding. I would highly recomend this venue if you are looking for a barn and/or farm wedding. It is beyond dreamy and a perfect backdrop for your wedding! Reviewed on 28-06-2017

Years ago, The Cottage Farmhouse was just a dream in the hearts of a mother-daughter team, Kim Serbus and Bailey Hanson. While planning Bailey's wedding, the two were completely smitten with the charm of a barn wedding. They started looking for a big white dairy barn and enough land to spread out and create a beautiful landscape for a wedding venue. The original property has been lovingly repurposed and overlooks 15 acres of lush countryside. They aspire to bring a natural elegance to each wedding occasion - to be known for the reimagined romance of happy beginnings.
