I’m looking to cut costs for my wedding and major way is by not using a normal wedding venue. I want to have an outdoor wedding with a forest backdrop as the theme is enchanted forest. So my idea is to rent a cottage for the weekend and hold it there. Has anyone else done this or know what I would have to do to have this. I imagine I would have to get approval from the owner of the cottage of course but is there any other issues that I might not be thinking of?

    Hi Danni!

    This sounds like a wonderful idea!

    I definitely agree with the advice of all the PPs. The owner of the cottage may have some advice for you also if the previous renters have hosted a wedding there before too!

    What province are you planning the wedding in?

    You might also have to get a Special Occasion Permit for Alcohol if you're in Ontario - since it's not on your land. But I think Host Liability Insurance is also a good thing to look at.

    Like Helene said, host liability insurance would be a good idea - that and if you are serving alcohol then I would assume you will be needing a liquor permit or something. That and if there will be an excess of noise I would mention it to the neighbouring cottages if they are close enough that it may be a bother to them.

    Host liability insurance.

    Love the idea! It might be an idea to look into host liability insurance for the event. This would cover you in case someone has an accident etc. during the event and/or on the way home.

    I'm not an expert, so talk to an insurance broker who might be able to help you out with this.

    I think that's a great idea. venue definitely is the costly part.. we're having ours at a restaurant to save money. I think you're on the right track.. ask the renter if they're ok with the event and the amount of people and depending on how you plan on serving alcohol you will need approval for that. if it will be self serve then no permits or anything should be needed. just need to think about food too.
