**The Cottage at Riverbend** is a Beautiful OUTDOOR Wedding venue in Eagle, Idaho. The grounds are…read morebreathtaking on this rural land in the middle of the bustling city of Eagle. The land is uniquely private. The entrance so obscure that you will drive by and miss it except for a Welcome sign on wedding days. This is a good thing to keep your event private and to maximize the space. Once you enter from the street the wedding names will be on a sign with the cottage in the background. You will head down a one car driveway to the back and park in a gravel parking lot. The back lawn is a front to a creek and lots of trees. Wedding ceremonies often take place here. When you are on the grounds you cannot see the surrounding farm, the vegetable market or anything else in most places. Moving toward the cottage is the pot o potty for guests & staff (construction style!!!) , the parking lot and then large tent. Walk through another area of grass. Next is another smaller tent outside the cottage and a couple of grass lawns. Again, tents may vary due to time of year etc. They usual house the DJ and dance floor for your event or it could house the tables and chairs and dance floor. The trees and shrubbery, again, are so pretty. The little pond is also good looking. Weddings are so different depending especially on your wedding coordinator and also the vendors you hire. Pay special attention to where the sun is depending on your time of day & time of year and plan the set up of chairs, tables, eating areas not to mention the flowers accordingly.The ceremony and eating is often set up in the sun so be aware depending on the time of year. Make sure to remember to think of your guests and warn them of the need to wear flat shoes or chunk heels or wedges to traverse the grounds parking lot and porta potty. Let them know if you will let them in the cottage to use the restroom or to get out of the sun or if it is off limits. Again, the wedding coordinator may make this decision but be aware it alters the guest experience. Their website shows a plethora of photos of the grounds so check it out for an idea of offerings and other events. But they don't do it justice. It is more beautiful in person. The look of the event and pictures are dependent on what you choose catering wise, coordinator wise, clothing wise and whom your vendor is for supplies. It can be as informal or formal as you wish. The sky is the limit. The Cottage at Riverbend gets 5 stars for just the gorgeous, serene, enchanting outdoor space that it is to hold your wedding or event. There are plenty of areas for guests and wedding party to roam and lots of greenery for pictures to be taken with. Lots of memories to be made here

The setting is beautiful -- right by the water with a really relaxed, romantic vibe. It felt elegant without being stuffy, and everything was laid out in a way that made it easy to enjoy the night. The food was delicious and the bar was not only stunning, but well staffed with a full selection. What stood out most was the staff. Everyone was kind, organized, and seemed to truly care that guests were having a good time. You could tell they do this often and do it well. Parking was easy, everything was convenient, and the whole night flowed smoothly from ceremony to reception. Overall, it just felt like a fun, well-run wedding in a gorgeous spot. I'd happily attend another event there.

Upon checking in I was given a complimentary welcome bag with a couple bottled waters and a package of Milano cookies- this may not be something given to all guests, my employer who used to travel all the time has a membership with hilton and she booked my stay for me. The suite was absolutely beautiful, clean and spacious! It had 2 Queen Beds, a living room area with a couch, comfy chairs, 2 TV's, a kitchenette with just about everything you could need for cooking if you wanted to. A small coffee pot with a few coffee pods and tea and a small but decent bathroom as well as a little outside patio with chairs. It was nice being on the 4th floor as there was very minimal noise. I spent about 20 min at the pool and I had it all to myself.. and then this morning I had breakfast here. Their breakfast buffet was overall pretty great. Something for everyone's tastes! Oatmeal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, muffins, breads, cereal, a variety of spreads, juices, coffee, water, tea, potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, a station where you can make your own breakfast tacos complete with jalepenos, cheese, hot sauces, salsa and a very delicious honey lime crema!!! Mmm mmm!! My only issue with breakfast was the foods that should have been hot were only somewhat warm in temperature but the flavors were good so i'm not really complaining. If I have the opportunity to stay here again, I absolutely would as it's one of the best hotel experiences i've had!

Thanks to Teresa and Kristin at Bliss, the only thing I had to think about on my wedding day was…read morehow grateful, blessed, and lucky I was to be surrounded by so many loved ones and marrying the most wonderful man I had ever met. Everything about my experience working with them in wedding design and planning was superb. Their design talent is evident to anyone driving by their well-decorated showroom windows or browsing their posts online, but I want to write more deeply about the planning process, and how smoothly everything went during the nine months leading up to my ceremony at the Cathedral of the Rockies and reception at the Boise Train Depot. As a long-distance bride, I worked with both Kristin and Teresa via Skype sessions about once a month leading up to the wedding, and we corresponded via email in between. Kristin managed my day of coordination. She offered great venue insight - guest experience, sound and lighting quality, time of day and season, and many other considerations that never would've occurred to me without her expertise. It was so valuable to be able to discuss Pinterest and other wedding ideas, and work through the planning timeline together. Her guidance was spot-on and her follow-up was unparalleled - whenever she said she would have something complete, it was complete. Teresa managed my wedding design. She created and updated my personalized virtual design board with colors, centerpieces, flowers, and every other detail possibly imaginable. She even helped me find a new bouquet just weeks before the wedding. I thought it would be nice to have some childhood pictures, but didn't have time to print the them - Teresa took care of it. Her graphic designer created some signage that coordinated with the font and style of my invitation. She took copious notes during our conversations, and managed all the detail tremendously. I was lucky to arrive in Boise about a week before my big day. The three of us met to walk through the day, confirm final details, look at my complete table setting, and checkout the Etsy items I had mailed directly to Bliss. Kristen completed all of the vendor confirmations - it was such a huge relief to know everyone was onboard with the day's events without contacting them individually. At the rehearsal Kristin gave everyone in the wedding party a timeline with events for the next day, so there wasn't a question about who should be where and when. I was able to truly relax and enjoy the evening. My wedding day was idyllic. Teresa and Kristin are the wedding masters. The Cathedral and the Depot were both sublime. The flowers were stunning. All of the big moments happened on time, and all of my guests had a great time, which was especially important to me since 75 of them had travelled from out of state. I couldn't have asked for more competent, creative, savvy wedding-day dream team. My husband and I are still in awe of our wonderful wedding day. Thank you, Bliss!
