Absolutely beautiful venue and beyond amazing staff! Monica has everything under control from start to finish. I could not have had a more stress free time planning for our big day...
! The quality of the food is out of the world! We received so many complaints about the food and just how unique the venue was. It definitely makes for a one of a kind wedding! HIGHLY recommend!!
Venue has many pros but also cons to be aware of. Pros: Food was amazing & the setting is absolutely beautiful. Florist was awesome & the flowers were so elegantly done! Many deta...
ils we did not have to worry about and were handled by the venue, such as the finding a bakery & cake delivery, setting up of the venue & decorating, added lighting in the reception area, working the music during the ceremony, the DJ, etc. also, it was great that there's places to stay onsite. You can use whatever vendors you wish or not wish to. Monica is very experienced at wedding ceremonies & can offer her opinion and experience with any questions you may have.
Cons: many inconsistencies or out of date info on website, such as they do not come close to holding 200 guests, check in time for the cottages, deposit amount, & it took months for the cottage dates to be blocked off from anyone else booking online although from the very start, we said we were booking all 3 cottages for the weekend, the charges were in the contract, but we had to mention it several times before this was removed from others booking. We had to follow up with my brother in law to correct the situation because the system let him book online.
We had an incident were one of our guests asked a worker where the card box was, and she offered to put the card in the box for him. The worker stole the card & spent some of the gift cards before we were able to put a stop on it. When asked multiple times, she denied receiving the card. We had to involve the Sheriff's office & she finally admitted to the theft & charges have been filed. Very disappointed in the handling of the situation by Monica. She didn't offer any apologies for this theft by her employee, nor any concern.
Another negative for me because I am very detailed orientated person: Monica said we would do a walk thru of the venue to be sure we were happy with decorations & setup on Saturday prior to the start of the wedding & this did not happen. Would have made a few changes if given the chance - I wasn't 100% happy with everything. The programs were in a place no one saw them, so very few people got one. The “cupcake stand” wasn’t displayed as we had hoped. We packed everything with instructions, such as shelf 1, 2, etc. but it wasn’t followed and very few of the candles were lit. Everything else looked beautiful though.
Finally, during the reception, they said they only what is needed at a time. I had a few complaints that they would have to stand and wait for cake. I don’t Kmow that all the layers/flavors of cake were cut & we had 4 different flavors - I am not sure all flavors made it out after talking with guests. Supposedly, they only cut a little at a time, so the cake stays moist for the leftovers, but we never got the leftovers of the cake, except the top layer which was never cut into. Not sure what happened to the rest of the cake, but since we were dealing with the other issue with the card theft the day after the wedding, this was an afterthought.
Overall, my daughter and son-in-law were extremely pleased with the way their special day turned out. I just think people looking at the venue should be aware of the good and bad.
Where do we even begin! Monica, Erik, and the entire Country Cottage & Gardens staff exceeded our expectations above and beyond. Our wedding was everything we ever could have wante...
d and more because of the CC&G family. From the very beginning Monica was always my right hand giving me advice, suggestions, and ideas. She was extremely prompt on answering all my questions even if I had asked the same question 10 different times. She allowed me to come to the property anytime I asked for as long as I needed. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and beautiful in and of itself. It is one of the MANY reasons we fell so in love with the venue. When visiting CC&G you truly feel as though you are at a private getaway and you find something new to fall in love with every time. Our wedding day was beyond magical and our guests were completely blown away with not only the uniqueness of the property, but with our food as well. Erik truly has a passion for what he does. If you are a big foodie, CC&G is the wedding venue for you! Our food was BEYOND delicious and Erik truly listened to our likes & dislikes and added his own touch. All our vendors were extremely excited to be working with us on our big day because they could not wait to dive into the food. I can’t say enough positive things about our wedding experience. It truly was a day we will never forget because of the people that worked so hard to make it everything we ever could have wanted and more! We can’t thank Monica, Erik, and the Country Cottage & Gardens staff enough! From the absolute bottom of our hearts, thank you! - Love, the Mannella’s 10/6/2018
My wife and I had the most amazing experience having our wedding here. The venue is immaculate with much to see and will have your guests exploring the landscape throughout. They m...
ade the whole planning process so easy and stress free and Monica was able to reccomend several reliable vendors for cake, photos, DJ, and flowers, all of which exceeded our expectations. Chef Eric and his staff are top notch and able to accommodate any special requests for menus. The attention to detail in his cooking is unrivaled. They treated us like famy throughout the whole process and made sure we had everything we needed up until we left the next morning. We would highly recommend this location for an all inclusive wedding experience that you will remember forever.
My husband and I could not have imagine a better wedding day. We had rain the entire day and there was a lot of changes that had to be made but Monica and Eric made sure that every...
thing was still perfect. Everyone of our guest loved the food, they said it was the best wedding food they have ever had and one of the prettiest wedding venues they have seen; even in the rain!
Another amazing plus about this venue is they only book one wedding a weekend, so you can have the entire place for the entire weekend! My husband and I stayed in the cottages on Friday night before the wedding with our bridal party and had a bonfire. I also had some bridesmaid stay on Saturday after the wedding while my husband and I stayed in another cottage. It was so nice to walk to our room after the wedding.
This was the best decision we've ever made. Not only was this the MOST BEAUTIFUL and romantic setting for a wedding but the people were fantastic. Monica and Eric were 100% the rea...
son our wedding turned out as amazing as it did. Monica kept everything running so smooth throughout the whole day and Eric made the most delicious food I've probably ever had. We are still getting compliments on how awesome our food was! Aside from all of that we literally got to dance under the beautiful tree canopies and stars which was absolutely stunning. So many people have come up to me and said your wedding venue was the most beautiful venue we have ever seen! HIGHLY recommend this venue they can truly do as much or as little as you ask them to, and they do it well!!
What an amazing day! They thought of everything, worked with our budget and ensured that everything went smoothly. Our guests are still talking about the food! Staff was incredibly...
helpful and attentive! Not to mention that even on a rainy day there couldn't have been a more beautiful location!
Our experience with Monica and Eric at Country Cottage and Gardens was the best I could have ever hoped for. It is a family owned business, Monica is the wedding coordinator/planne...
r and Eric is the chef. They are seriously a power couple. The venue alone is perfect and so beautiful, but that doesn't even mention the three cottages on site, the estate house where the bride and her girls get ready, the gazebo in front of the pond where you can get married, the outdoor deck for the reception area, and the new treehouse they just built right near the fire pit. This Venue was everything we were looking for all in one. I cannot rave enough about this place and how amazing our wedding was because of this location. We even had cold, rainy weather on our day, but that didn't even matter because tents were put up and everyone had an amazing time. Now it is out in the middle of no-where which we kind of loved, but if you want something closer to the city then this might not be the place for you. If you want peaceful, beautiful, and one of a kind then yes this is the perfect place. my husband and I want to plan our anniversary to go back and stay in one of the cottages! I can't wait to go back.
Country Cottage and Gardens was THE best choice for an outdoor wedding! The food was to die for and they have an in house florist that made our wedding look beautiful! We had steak...
and chicken and we can't stop thinking about it! Eric and his food was AMAZING! The place even had a wedding planner that came along with the price tag and she was wonderful! Helped me get through those tough things that come along with wedding planning. Thanks, Monica! They deserve all the stars one can give! They rocked our wedding!
This vendor is almost all-inclusive, making for a relatively stress free experience! Monica basically serves as an event planner, and Eric, the owner, is also the chef for catering...
, and his food is AMAZING. The only reason why I would limit my praise is that I felt the day of could have been a little more organized--somehow they failed to find out when exactly the ceremony and dinner were supposed to start, and little details like lighting candles and putting up lights we provided were neglected. But overall, they were excellent. The property is beautiful, and the price for the services can't be beat!
