WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES FOR RENTING THE COTTAGE?
The rental price for The Flower Cottage is $200/hour with a 3-hour minimum. You will need to factor in your setup and cleanup time into your rental block. We only rent by the hour.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN FIT IN THE FLOWER COTTAGE?
We can fit a maximum of 24 guests comfortably. We have three farm tables that sit up to 8 people each. We also have a soft seating area, so for more informal mix and mingle style event, we could possibly fit a few more people in. We are a very small space, so we are unable to accommodate any party over 30 people.

You are responsible for bringing in your own food, beverages, ice, plates, utensils, cups, napkins, coffee/tea, condiments, sugar.
We provide footed plates, platters, trays, teacups and saucers, small dessert plates, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, filtered water, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies.

We will refund you 50% if you cancel before the week of the event. If it is the week of the event, we are unable to provide you with a refund.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS SHOULD I BE AWARE OF?
We do not have any restrictions on food or beverages that you bring in. You can bring in anything you would like, including alcoholic beverages.
We do not allow fresh flowers to be brought in from anywhere else. Fresh flowers can only be purchased through us, since we are florists:). You can bring in faux flowers to decorate if you wish.
CAN I COME VISIT THE SPACE FOR A TOUR?
Absolutely! Tours are given by appointment only during the week. Please call our studio or email us to schedule a tour.
I AM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO ADD ON FLOWERS TO MY EVENT YET. WHEN DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY FINAL DECISION?
We need to know at least two weeks before your event so we can order your flowers. If you add-on flowers, we do cater to your event’s colors and theme the best we can.
CAN I COME EARLY TO SET UP?
You will need to factor in your set up and clean up time into your rental block. You will not have access to the space early. We are also not able to accept any deliveries from other vendors before your rental start time.
WHAT IS THE PARKING SITUATION?
Our studio is located in the middle of a large gravel parking lot. Guests can park in the florist marked spaces behind our building, as well as the perimeter of the lot, as well as the lot in front of Ziebart and California Closets.
