A birthday venue with room to actually celebrate
Restaurants put you in a back corner. Banquet halls feel like nothing at all. The Little Cottage is a 10,000 square-foot renovated space with painted brick walls and vaulted wood ceilings — character that makes a birthday feel like an event without you spending a fortune to dress it up. Two distinct indoor rooms mean dinner in one and a dance floor in the other, with three outdoor patios for the in-between moments.
Every age, every kind of birthday
Kids' and teen parties. A built-in dance floor, room to run, and patios for fresh air. Fog and bubble machines are welcome, and our team handles the setup so you can actually watch your kid have fun.
Sweet sixteens and milestone teen birthdays. The same care we put into a wedding, scaled to a celebration. Lounge furniture, a real dance floor, and a layout that photographs beautifully.
Milestone adult birthdays. 30th, 40th, 50th, and beyond. Bring your own bar service and your own caterer, set the room your way, and host up to 300 guests cocktail-style.

Can we bring our own alcohol?
Yes. Clients may provide their own alcohol. To ensure a safe, professional experience, all beverage service must be managed by licensed and insured staff. The hired caterer may handle bar service if they meet these requirements, or you can use a dedicated third-party bar service — we recommend Raising the Bar.
What are the venue's house rules for setup and cleanup?
- "As found" policy: The facility must be left in the same condition as it was found. All personal items, decor, and leftover food or beverages must be removed within the one-hour breakdown period.
- Full-service catering required: All catering teams must be full-service and provide staff to handle cleanup as the event progresses, including moving trash to the on-site dumpster.
- Decor guidelines: To protect the space, the following are not permitted: confetti, glitter, dried flowers that shed, loose rose petals, smoke machines, and exposed flames. All candles must be enclosed in glass. Tape on walls or woodwork is not permitted.
- Sparklers: Permitted in designated outdoor areas only.
Is a dance floor included, and how big is it?
A dedicated dance floor area is part of the standard reception layout in the main event room. Recommended size depends on guest count — caterers and planners can advise on configuration during the floor-planning walkthrough.
Can we use a fog machine or bubble machine?
Fog machines and bubble machines are permitted in outdoor patio areas only, to protect indoor flooring.
