The experience

Small enough to feel personal. Beautiful enough to remember.

This is an intimate wedding day for couples who want the setting to do some of the storytelling. Inside, the cottage is warm and glowing. Outside, the trees, lights, fire, and snow create a second kind of celebration.

You will have time to settle in, exchange vows, gather around the table, and step outside for a fire and s’mores before ending the evening with a send-off worth remembering.

A practical note for winter

If snow is on the ground, please plan on wearing winter-appropriate shoes. We cannot completely clear the woodland trail, but the snow is part of what makes the outdoor experience feel so beautiful and distinctly Northwoods.
