At The Cotton Room, we hold 3-4 large open houses each year at our venue we call ‘An Engagement for the Engaged’. It’s a wonderful opportunity to feature vendors we love, show our clientele some of our favorite menu items and allow our sister company Petal & Oak a chance to flex their decor muscles!

 

It is a ‘by invitation only’ open house for our clients and perspective clients and a lovely way to allow them to brainstorm for their upcoming events at our venue.

 

August 2017 was an incredibly memorable Engagement for the Engaged. The venue was decorated beautifully, the food was outstandingly delicious (if we do say so ourselves) and we received rave reviews from clients and prospective clients across the board.

 

We were the luckiest to be able to have Ariana from Silver Feather Studios attend and take the most gorgeous pictures, some of which we will share with you today!
