Hear from happy couples who have hosted Cottage weddings here.

Our big day was the most beautiful and special day I could ever have imagined and that is mainly due to the staff at President Lincoln’s Cottage.

Not only is the venue steeped in meaningful history, it is convenient and beautiful.

The historic nature of this hidden gem is unmatched. That history, and the Cottage’s programming today connecting it to modern struggles for freedom and equality–made it a perfect fit as a place to celebrate our interracial, same-sex, interfaith marriage.

If you’re a history/social justice/civil rights nerd, this is the absolute perfect venue. I was in heaven.

It was really special to get to introduce so many people to this beautiful, tranquil space right in our city.

…Being in the city was something we wanted, yet we also wanted to be outside and dance under the stars…Everyone continues to reminisce over our Big Day and they always mention the unique and elegant venue.
