I attended a wedding here and i was really impressed . The staff really had their act together this was well ran venue. I feel like the reviews I have read below did not really reflect my experience. We attended a night wedding and the lighting was perfect. At first I was like taco for a wedding , well I was shocked . Hands down best tacos I have get eaten . I attended as a guest and one day will use this venue for a celebration. read more

My partner and I got married at The Cottage about a month ago, and although I've never rented a venue before for anything so don't have much to compare to, I can't imagine things going much better than they did. Dina (and later on, Destiny) were both extremely responsive to our questions throughout the process, understanding and flexible with last-minute changes (like when we missed our final meeting because we had it in our calendar for the wrong day), and just all around lovely people throughout the planning process. The day of, the team kept us calm and there were also little thoughtful touches, like Destiny giving my partner a handkerchief before the ceremony to prepare for the tears, and glasses of water at the sweetheart table before dinner to make sure we were well hydrated. The venue was also generally beautiful and cozy. We got a lot of compliments from friends and family on the food and the overall vibes. Really glad we chose The Cottage! Totally recommend. read more

On 10/15/2025, my daughter's wedding. Everything was perfect. The owner Dina and staff did a great job. Everything was organized and planned very well. The food, cake and desserts were so delicious. All staff were professional. We re very happy of the outcome. Happy wedding happy people! Thank you The Cottage owners and staff for everything you've done to make this wedding a memorable celebration. We wish you more success and blessings. read more

To say we are disappointed in our wedding experience at The Cottage would be an understatement. Below is a list of everything that went wrong at our wedding: - The alter did not have a light. Dina, the owner, was aware that we would have a night ceremony and at no point did she tell us that they did not have lights at the alter. Impossible to read vows without a light! - The coordinator, Destiny, served our cupcakes with her hands. She literally carried cupcakes in her hands to our guests. - They did not put our cupcakes on plates or offer anyone a fork. So embarrassing that our guests were served cupcakes literally out of someone's hands and then expected to eat them off of the table with no plate or utensils. - They served our champagne in small shot glasses! We asked at the appointment if they had plastic champagne glasses, and we were told yes. Yet they didn't use them for our event at all! I guess a small wedding means very little to them. - We provided 6 bottles of champagne and they barely used 2 bottles. They gave our guests barely two sips of champagne even though we had enough for every person to have a full glass of champagne and then some! - Destiny left our reception in the middle of the event to "go eat dinner". Dina had already left our wedding and never even told us she was leaving. We had nobody in our reception to help with anything for quite awhile except one bartender. - Dina promised to get Dr Pepper (my husband's favorite drink) during our final appointment. She never got it for him for the reception. - We couldn't hear ANY of the music while we walked down the aisle before or after the ceremony. We expressed to them no less that 5-6 times how important the music was to us personally, and then we couldn't even hear any of it! - They jammed together 23 people at 3 tables where people would have had zero space ... so at the last minute they had to add another table after we had to ask for it. - They messed up the color of our linens. - Destiny turned off our song for the 1st dance right in the middle of our dance. It was so embarrassing to literally yell across the room to tell her to turn it back on. We gave them every detail about our wedding from the songs, to the alcohol, to our preferences about seating, etc etc every time we communicated, and they still below it. This was not the wedding of my dreams by far! read more

Overall the day was good. I liked the setting, the lights, the heaters, and the backyard feeling was exactly what the bride wanted. The food was good. The person who set up the decor did a lovely job and the bartender was very sweet. The planning experience felt like say one thing and then do another. Each time we talked the answers changed and in the end she tacked on more fees that she said she would not charge. It felt like she was just saying what we wanted to hear. With so few choices in the East Valley for weddings with less than 40 guests it was a good option because initially it was affordable. It was a nice venue but ended up costing considerably more. If you decide on this quaint location get everything in writing or they will add/change charges for things that she said would be included. read more

We had our wedding here 11/11/23 Everyone couldn't stop telling us how beautiful it was. We had the best experience from start to finish with the whole team. We decided to pay for the table decorations from them so that we didn't have to do it our selves and everything turned out perfect. I am truly grateful to the cottage team for making our special day so perfect ! read more

I just wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Dina and her staff for providing amazing service before during and after our wedding!

The food and cake were AMAZING and my guests were satisfied! We are forever greatful!!! We highly recommended this venue to anyone that is looking for a romantic outdoor space in Gilbert! They are the BEST!!!!! read more

We just had our wedding at the Cottage this past Saturday and it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Dina and Destiny made our day perfect! I brought in some decorations of my own and honestly didn't need to because the Cottage was perfect on its own. All of my guests kept telling me what a great job I did decorating and I couldn't take the credit because it was all Dina and her team. Our DJ Ron was amazing, the cake from Lesley's Cakes was perfect and so delicious, the photographer, Santiago, was great, and everyone had a blast. I am so happy we decided to go with the Cottage for our wedding. Seriously no complaints at all. Thank you Dina and Destiny! read more

I REALLY wish there was a rating higher than 5 Stars! This place deserves double or triple that number! Last week was our daughters wedding and Dina, Sal and the entire staff knocked it out of the park! Let's start with the venue itself. It is gorgeous and a perfect setting for a wedding. It has great areas for the service itself, plenty of spots for great photos, dancing, gazebos, ballroom, brides suite and on and on. They can make it as fancy or as laid back as your want it. The staff! We can't say enough about the entire staff and all the vendors we used for the day. Dina is amazing! She was involved since day one of the planning all the way through to the end of the reception. Even going above and beyond helping the bride with a dress issue just before the wedding. She made sure it was a spectacular day and nothing was going to let the bride and groom down. Chef Sal is the amazing genius behind the food. Everyone raved about the food after the day was done. I have been to many wedding receptions and there has never been any better cuisine served. He even made the desserts when what the bride wanted wasn't available through the cake vendor. The cannolis and the cheese cake are out of this world! The rest of the staff was great also from the planning of the decor to the layout of the wedding they handled everything and made everything much less stressful. Thanks to everyone here. One special shout out to Rachel the dj. She kept everyone moving and grooving and was our acting MC that kept the night moving along. She made the night so memorable. Her business is run under DJRachelZ on Facebook. The food.! OMG I could write a book long review on just the food! Sal certainly outdid himself in the kitchen. Chianti braised beef, chicken picatta, tortellini in pesto all amazing. The salad, vegetables and desserts were the absolute best. Almost forgot the appetizers, caprese skewers and marinated steak skewers.. There were none left they were so good! All in all we highly recommend The Cottage Wedding Venue. You won't be disappointed. If there are any questions please feel free to ask! Thanks again Dina, Sal and everyone else! read more

The Cottage Wedding Venue - All set up for the wedding! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We met with Dina. We did the open house and met many vendors. We elected to keep most of the services in house using the florist who was great, the cake baker was great, the minister April also did a great job. We did a food tasting to select our menu and it was great and one of the only flaws. We got the backup staff on our wedding day and the chicken picata was awful and tough and tasted nothing like the sample. Many of our guests said the same. The bartender wore a sweatshirt and Jeans while our server wore yoga pants. Easily could have been a 5 but just missed so I have to go 4 stars. It was also odd the owners felt no need to follow up with us about our experience during their absence from our wedding. Our guests liked the casual elegance of the venue. read more

Dina and Kailey are AMAZING! They communicate so well and everything was perfect. The vision for our perfect day was SPOT ON! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

What a wonderful wedding! We had a brunch wedding in October 2018 at The Cottage. We chose the location because of the affordable pricing and because my wife loved the style of the venue. The wedding was well executed with Dina (owner) delivering on all her many promises. The food was terrific (many compliments from our guests). We had pre-selected the menu after going to Zappone's restaurant for a tasting. One of our favorite parts of the wedding experience was that so much was already taken care of. The Cottage had several folks that they worked with on a regular basis (catering, cake, photography, DJ, officiant). While we didn't use their DJ, we did opt for all the other in-house services and they did a great job. This really helped us simplify things and focus on invitations, after-parties, etc. In fact, I couldn't imagine piecing everything together ourselves. We had a fairly specific vision for what we wanted our wedding to be but after it was complete--we felt that The Cottage helped us exceed expectations. We could not recommend Dina and her team enough. If you are looking for an intimate venue with professional staff that truly care, you should definitely consider The Cottage.

Such a beautiful wedding venue! Dina and her team are fantastic, we pulled off a gorgeous petite wedding in less than a week and everything turned out perfect. The food was delicious and we had a great bartender. Highly recommend this wedding venue. read more

I'd give them 10 STARS if Yelp let me! Dina and the Chef (her husband) went above and beyond for us. We were continually surprised by their flexibility, helpfulness and kindness during the menu tasting and event planning. We had a few unusual requests from guests along the way, and the venue just rolled with it all. We had a wedding there this past weekend and received numerous compliments from family and close friends. Dina helped ensure safety with seating distancing, temps taken at door, masks worn by her team entire time, etc. The food was delicious top restaurant quality and cooked to perfection in presentation, flavor and temperature. Her affiliated vendors made our wedding plans effortless (yet affordable and top notch!) for an all inclusive in-house experience. Dina is a jewel!!!! She remained organized, responsive, calm, professional, encouraging and fabulous from our first phone call to the event's conclusion. YOU CAN TRUST THEM TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING! read more

Was so glad I was able to find this beautiful venue for my daughters June baby shower. Dina was so great to work with and very accommodating. Everything was beautiful and I would definitely recommend working with them! read more

My fiancé and I were looking for a local venue to host our intimate wedding. It's hard to find locations that cater to small weddings. We came across the Cottage and it just so happened they were about to host an open house. This gave us the perfect opportunity to visit the venue, talk with all their vendors and actually set a date! The venue is simply beautiful. It has everything you need for a sweet backyard wedding. Their pricing is explained in detail on their website which I loved although once you talk to them they are very accommodating when it comes to creating a fully customized package. We won't be getting married until April but I am so excited to work with the Cottage. The family who run and operate are so friendly. They are always there to answer your questions and you can tell they genuinely care about their brides/grooms. read more

I recently went to a baby shower at The Cottage and I had such a wonderful time! It's such a beautiful venue and the staff are so kind. The brunch was fantastic and the mimosa bar was a hit! Highly recommend checking this place out for your next event. read more

Dina and her lovely ladies couldn't have made my baby shower any more beautiful! The venue was absolutely stunning and perfect for our special event. The food was outstanding and the "Momosa" bar was definitely a hit! I got many compliments about the baby shower and how spectacular it turned out! You definitely won't regret having any event at The Cottage. read more

By far an exceptional venue! Having worked in events previously I knew this would be a the ideal spot for my baby shower. Phenomenal service, perfect location with classy décor and mouth watering food. We've utilized their catering on many occasions previously and are ecstatic with their new venue. They made our day extra special with little touches and sincerity of service. I'll certainly continue to recommend them. read more

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased! From our first conversation with Dina at an open house she held, we knew we had found our venue. Not only was the property beautiful, the staff was amazing and the price was more than fair. They have packages for literally every wedding and every budget. No hidden costs or pressure to add anything you don't want or need. We chose a small package and held our ceremony outside at night. When we arrived, the property was lit up so beautifully and in pristine condition. April, the officiant and Kaylee the coordinator, greeted us. They made us feel welcome and more importantly, calm and prepared. They were both so wonderful to us and our guests. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect! We highly recommend The Cottage Wedding Venue! read more

Honestly pretty disappointed. We had let the venue know in advance we would be attending the open house on 12/8. We got there at 4:50 and walked in through the outside area, grabbed a packet with package details, and there was a sign telling us to look around and someone would be with us shortly to give us a tour. We walked the outside and waited for 10 mins and then went inside and looked around and still didn't see anyone so we went back outside. After 20 mins of not seeing anyone, we went back inside and saw two people standing behind the bar area. They didn't get up and greet us, they didn't offer us a tour they just looked at us like we were interrupting there conversation. We walked up to them and the girl asked if we had any questions. I said no and walked out. It was not a good experience, it was not helpful, I didn't feel welcomed, and overall it felt like a complete waste of my time. read more

Gorgeous new venue in the heart of Gilbert. If you want an amazing wedding for half the price and stress, you need to check it out! Dina is a wedding guru and will make all of your dreams and visions into reality. Great team, great price packages, and a BEAUTIFUL location! Not to mention how delicious the food is! I can't wait to tie the knot here! read more

We loved everything about our wedding at The Cottage. The venue allows you to have a wedding on a budget without sacrificing quality. Dina's food was amazing and we had so many compliments from our guests (there was nothing left at the end). The venue overall was beautiful at night with all of the decorations and lights. We used their recommended Photographer, Florist, Officiant and Pastry Chef. They all did a wonderful job. The ability to bring your own alcohol was a plus and our bartender was perfect. Kailey (the wedding planner) did a wonderful job on the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran accordingly. The only tip to future wedding couples is to have people designated at the end of the night to pack up all of your stuff. That was one thing we weren't as prepared for. Otherwise, we couldn't be more happy with our wedding. read more

After touring 12 venues, we decided on The Cottage for our June wedding. Dina and her staff have been super friendly and helpful. We have visited the venue 3 times, and every time it gets better. They have added so many special touches that are usually an extra charge (such as yard games and photo props). Dina is the only person that actually worked with our budget. Every other place said they would, and then proceeded to go well over it. So far, we are very impressed and excited for our guests to experience this amazing new venue. read more

I had the privilege of working with Dina and her staff recently on an event and they exceeded my expectations! The venue itself is absolutely charming from the inside out and they go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and runs smoothly. The food was even better! I would highly recommend this venue for any event!! read more

My husband and I searched extensively for a wedding venue that would fit the small wedding we wanted, while still being elegant and offered an all-inclusive package. The Cottage is a beautiful venue that offers all the elegant and amenities of a larger wedding venue at an unbeatable price. Dina was wonderful to work with from the beginning. She is warm and incredibly helpful. She and her team went above and beyond in attending to every detail during the planning process. Every vendor that the package included was also amazing to work with. The cake and cupcakes by Sue Jacobs were delicious and the floral arrangements by Rose Garden Floral were beautiful. Santiago Almada provided wonderful photography and worked with us wanted pictures outside on a hot summer day. April, our officiant, did a lovely job personalizing our ceremony and allowing us to contribute additional personal touches. Additionally, the food was amazing. My husband and I appreciated the personalized tasting that Dina coordinated at the restaurant she and her husband owns. We received numerous compliments that our food was the best at any wedding they have ever been to!Finding The Cottage was such a blessing. read more
