Explore the building, rooms, capacity, and architectural character of The Little Cottage in Smyrna, GA.
A 10,000 square-foot canvas
The Little Cottage occupies a beautifully renovated building on two private acres at 652 Concord Road SE. Painted brick walls, vaulted wood ceilings, two built-in bars, and a signature fireplace anchor the main room. Three outdoor patios extend the usable space and give cocktail hour and quiet moments room to breathe.
Two distinct rooms
The main room hosts both ceremonies and receptions, with a built-in stage centered in front of the fireplace as a natural focal point. The back room serves cocktail hour, lounge spaces, or breakout areas for corporate events. Each room has its own built-in bar and its own character — together they give you flexibility most single-room venues can't.
