WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SCHEDULE A COTTAGE TOUR?

Complete our inquiry form, which is delivered to our email box. We will be in touch with you shortly afterward to schedule your cottage tour with us. You can also reach us by emailing us or calling our studio!


WHAT ARE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS?

We try to spend time with our families on Sunday and Mondays especially during wedding season which is April through November, however we often end up working on these days to ensure timelines are met.

Our Business Hours are Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm.

Cottage tours may be scheduled during our regular business hours. We also offer evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Depending on our event schedule we may have limited availability to meet on the weekends as well!


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.


WHAT SHOULD I PLAN TO BRING VERSUS WHAT DO YOU ALREADY HAVE?

You are responsible for bringing in your own food, beverages, ice, plates, utensils, cups, napkins, coffee/tea, condiments, sugar. Please see our recommended list of vendors and supplies here!

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.


WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY FOR RENTING THE SPACE?

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. Please see a recommended list of vendors here.

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.


I saw a note that flowers must be provided by you.  What does that mean?

Because floral design for events is our specialty, all fresh flowers used at The Flower Cottage are provided exclusively through our studio. This ensures a cohesive design, consistent quality, and a seamless experience within the space.

Clients are not permitted to bring in outside fresh flowers, floral arrangements, or floral décor—including for add-ons such as the flower bar. However, we offer a wide range of à la carte floral options and custom designs to suit different styles, color palettes, and budgets.

This policy allows us to maintain the integrity of the space while ensuring every event hosted at The Flower Cottage reflects the elevated, thoughtful floral experience we’re known for.


do you allow lit candles?

Yes, lit candles are allowed at The Flower Cottage as long as they are contained within glass holders and placed securely. All candles must be fully extinguished at the end of your event.


Are you allowed to toss petals during an elopement ceremony?

Yes! Petal tossing is allowed during elopement ceremonies. We simply ask that all petals are fully cleaned up at the end of your event.


CAN I COME VISIT THE SPACE FOR A TOUR?

Absolutely! Tours are given by appointment only during the week. Please call our studio or fill out our inquiry form 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.


Yes, smoking is permitted in the parking lot as long as it is away from the building. We ask that all cigarette butts and smoking materials are properly disposed of.

Are you allowed to smoke in the parking lot?


Yes, The Flower Cottage has a Sonos sound system available for use. Guests can connect by joining our WiFi and using AirPlay to stream music from Spotify or iTunes. Please note that the system does not connect via Bluetooth.

You’re also welcome to bring your own speaker if you prefer.

Is a sound system available, or may we bring our own speaker?


Will staff be on-site during the event, and who would be the day-of point of contact?

Once you arrive at the start time of your rental, someone will be at The Cottage to check you in and make sure you can get connected to our speaker system and answer any questions that you may have. After checking you in, that team member will leave to let you enjoy your time here. Please note that the basement floor of The Flower Cottage is our workspace, so there may be team members down there working but they will stay out of your way
