The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane

Welcome to The Emerald Cottage

An Enchanting and Affordable Wedding Venue in Brainerd, MN

An Idyllic Outdoor & Indoor Sanctuary

If you’re here, you’re probably on the hunt for the perfect outdoor/indoor micro wedding (60 people or less) spot to tie the knot and dance until your feet hurt. You’re dreaming of something that has that “feels like home” vibe, with modern cottage charm, easy access to hotels, and just enough nature to make it absolutely perfect.

Chances are, you’ve probably pinned more inspo photos than you care to admit (it’s okay, we’ve all been there), and now it’s all about finding the venue that makes those dreams a reality. We totally understand—social media’s got everyone chasing those jaw-dropping wedding pics, and it’s easy to feel the pressure.

But let’s be real: this day is about your love story, and that’s what we want to bring to life—authentically, beautifully, and without any of the unnecessary stress.
