What Our Couples Say
“6 months ago – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding! Mary and John were phenomenal and made the whole planning process and day itself easy and stress free. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and brought many guests to tears. Mary was our officiant, and her easygoing and friendly personality helped to create a fun and enjoyable experience for us and our guests.
The food was exceptional. We chose to have the country turkey dinner and we couldn’t recommend it enough! The cottage itself was absolutely adorable, and our guests loved the unique and cozy atmosphere.
We were lucky to have fantastic weather and capped off the evening sitting around the fire pit (my husband’s favourite part).
We truly couldn’t recommend the Wedding Cake Cottage enough! Thank you Mary and John for making our special day so perfect!”
