WEDDING PACKAGES
The stunning vistas, and opportunity to spend time with family and close friends, is what draws many couples to the idea of hosting their wedding on the Mendocino Coast. Our property is perfectly designed for these gatherings, with ten spacious cottages allowing everyone to be close by, while still having a private retreat. When planning your event, keep in mind that destination weddings will often have only 60 to 70 percent of the original number attending. This leaves you with a managable, intimate event, and some extra room in your budget! And there are a variety of ways to still include guests that cannot make the trip, such as a videographer that can offer live streaming video of your ceremony and reception.Ceremony LocationsThe Cottages at Little River Cove provides a beautiful ceremony location on our ocean view lawn. Depending on the size of your event and weather, your guests can be seated either outdoors or underneath your tent- with a brief change over to get ready for your reception! Mendocino's rugged coastline, historic churches and pristine beaches offer additional options for your ceremony location. We are happy to help you research these sites, apply for permits and arrange additional rental equipment as needed.

HAPPY COUPLES
"Great Wedding Weekend"September 20, 2010We did not have our wedding at the Cottages at Little River Cove, but we did accommodate ourselves and our extended family there during our wedding weekend. The InnKeeper, Kelly, was incredible. She made sure everything ran smoothly. We hosted a little happy hour on the Friday afternoon/evening and a brunch on the sunday after the wedding, and the Cottages were more than happy to help us with the logistics - parking, etc. It's a lovely venue for a family reunion or a wedding.The accommodations themselves are lovely -- very well-appointed and spacious cabins. Some allows dogs, some don't. One has a hot tub! The grounds are beautifully maintained and on a sunny day the view of the coast is simply beautiful. There is a convenience store/gas station across the street and you can order room service from the Little River Inn's restaurant next door. You can also walk over to Little River Inn very easily if you don't mind walking a couple of hundred feet on highway one. I would recommend anyone having a wedding staying here with their families -- we felt very welcome and it was great to have the whole place to ourselves so that we didn't have to worry about noise. Kelly had even arranged fresh flowers in each cottage -- and in ours, a giant "Congratulations" bouquet in our wedding colours! Highly recommended.- Lindsay & Brian"Unforgettable Elopement"July 17, 2010Kelly helped us plan, from one year in advance, our elopement in great detail, having into great consideration our budget. And even though there was really bad weather on the day we chose, she stood in the rain with us. All the services she hired were high quality: the hair and make-up service was exactly what I had thought of, the reverend and the photographer also stood in the cliff with rain, high winds and low temperature during the ceremony. The lunch we had was delicious and my bouquet was gorgeous, just as I had told her I wanted it. The cake was not just beautiful but also luscious. The premises at the cottage were well manicured and we also have very nice pictures there. I would definitely recommend Kelly and all the services she offers.- Julissa and Alberto"The Wedding of Our Dreams!"April 23, 2010Kelly created the wedding of our dreams at the Cottages at Little River Cove. Not only did she handle every little detail in the months leading up to the wedding, but she went above and beyond on the day of the wedding to make everything perfect!! We could not be more happy! The cottages were immaculate as usual. Clean and shining. The automatic fireplace was so lovely. And the bed? Sighhh, I wish that it was ours. It was so comfortable. The grounds are filled with an amazing array of flowers and it is SO quiet. The ocean view? Stunning. Mendocino is just a few minutes away as well as Glass Beach. To top it off, on our way back to the cottage after eating at the Little River Inn we were treated to the sight of a family of deer walking across the lawn. It was a picture perfect wedding and the cottage was fantastic. I would definitely recommend the Cottages at Little River cove and have!- Gia and Thom"We had an unforegettable wedding weekend"October 7, 2009We recently got married in Little River and we decided to rent out the entire grounds of the Cottages at Little River Cove. It was by far one of the best decisions we made. First of all, the place is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are beautiful, the view is to die for and the set up of the whole place is so ideal. Each cottage was so home-y and comfortable with a kitchen, living room and bedroom/bathroom. All the appliances were modern and nice and the views from each cottage were amazing. We housed our close friends and family in the cottages and it created such a "summer camp" atmosphere. People just walked out and visited other families and really, everybody had such a great time. We're still hearing about it to this day. For big group weekends or family reunions, I would highly recommend renting out the entire grounds because it's so much fun! Above all, the service provided by Kelly at the Cottages at Little River Cove were unbeatable. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Kelly was SO prompt and attentive while also incredibly flexible and accomodating. During the actual wedding weekend, she went above and beyond to make sure our guests were taken care of and that none of the details got missed. She also helped us arrange a Sunday brunch the day after the wedding and was quick to help when too many people showed up. Thank you Kelly for everything!I can't say enough positive things about the Cottages at Little River Cove. We're definitely going back for anniversaries or weekend getaways with friends, etc. An incredible gem in the Mendocino area that I couldn't recommend more highly.- Katherine Kwon"Our Perfect Wedding"August 15, 2009We had never been to the Mendocino Coast before our recent trip there to get married. After reading favorable reviews of The Cottages at Little River Cove on this site, we chose one of their "elopement" packages for what we hoped would be an intimate, stress-free wedding including our immediate families and close friends. Our entire experience was perfect. With our party spread between five of the cottages, it was great to have our own space and still be so close to everyone else. The cottage kitchens had everything we needed for our small "rehearsal dinner" and a wedding day breakfast. The cottages were very clean and well-maintained. There were lots of choices for fun group activities in the immediate vicinity. The service we received was outstanding in general, and in specific regards to wedding details especially. Kelly and her staff did everything they could to make our visit a special one. She handled all of the wedding details with great care, including problems that arose with the local restaurant where we had our wedding dinner (which wound up being perfect too). Everyone left more than happy and full of fond memories of a special place. We look forward to returning for future anniversaries.-The Bosleys
