A holiday party venue that feels like home.
A 10,000 sq ft holiday party venue in Smyrna, GA. Climate-controlled comfort, two built-in bars, a fireplace centerpiece, and 105 free parking spaces.
The right venue for a December party
Most holiday party venues are either too corporate (a hotel ballroom with carpet you've seen at fifty other events) or too cold (a converted warehouse without proper heat). The Little Cottage is neither. Painted brick walls, vaulted wood ceilings, a working fireplace as the focal point of the main room, two built-in bars, and modern climate control that keeps the space comfortable when it's 32°F outside.
What corporate and private hosts use it for
Company holiday parties. The blank-canvas layout works for plated dinners up to 180, cocktail-and-mingle events up to 300, and everything in between. High-speed Wi-Fi for any presentations or speeches.
Private holiday gatherings. Extended family Christmas Eve dinners, Hanukkah celebrations, New Year's Eve parties — the venue's hospitality bones (owned and operated by Endive Catering) mean these events feel taken care of rather than transactional.
End-of-year recognition events. Awards ceremonies, year-in-review presentations, retirement parties.
Bar service for holiday events
Two built-in bars make beverage service easy. Most holiday hosts choose to bring their own alcohol — fully welcomed at The Little Cottage with licensed bar service. We recommend Raising the Bar for dedicated third-party bar staffing.
Pricing
Standard rental rates apply, with weekday December dates offering the best value. Saturday in December is a high-demand date — most December Saturdays are booked 6+ months in advance.
