One of the most exciting parts of your wedding day is the moments leading up to your ceremony—those final touches, first looks, and the anticipation of saying "I do." At The Little Chapel at Haven Ridge, we offer two distinct getting ready suites—the Inn and the Tiny Cottage, which we call Haven's Hideaway—designed to provide comfort, convenience, and privacy on your big day, separate from the venue. Whether you're dividing the spaces between both parties or reserving one exclusively, our venue ensures a seamless and stress-free experience.
The Inn: A Spacious Retreat for Wedding Preparations
The Inn is the most popular space for wedding parties, offering ample room to relax and get ready. However, if you'd like to share the space between both parties, we’ve designed it with privacy and functionality in mind. The property features two separate entrances—a front door and a sunroom entrance—along with a room divider partition that can be placed in the hallway to create added separation.
Private Vows & First Looks
If you're considering private vows, a first touch, or a first look, Haven's Hideaway is just a stroll away from The Grove—a natural tree canopy alongside the meadows that stays cooler on hot summer days.
Here’s how you can set up the Inn for both parties:
Bridal Party or One Partner’s Group: Enjoy exclusive access to the Bridal Suite, one additional bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen—perfect for sipping mimosas and getting pampered before the ceremony.
Groom’s Party or Second Partner’s Group: Utilize two bedrooms, the sunroom (which doubles as a getting-ready area with desk space), and a bathroom. The side patio offers a relaxed setting to unwind before the ceremony.
Prefer to keep the Inn private for just one group? That works too! The space provides an elegant and serene atmosphere for final preparations before heading to the ceremony.

The Tiny Cottage: A Cozy & Functional Option
If your wedding party needs a separate space, the Tiny Cottage is a fantastic alternative. This charming retreat can comfortably accommodate about six guests indoors, with a wraparound patio offering extra seating and space for up to eight. It’s an ideal location for relaxing, playing cornhole, and taking in the fresh air before the festivities begin.
Inside, the Tiny Cottage features:
A living room with mirrors
A kitchen
A restroom
A bedroom for a changing area
The rental includes two-three hours (depending on package), giving plenty of time for everyone to arrive, get ready, and take pre-ceremony photos.

Flexible Options for Your Wedding Party & Family
If your wedding party or family is staying at a nearby hotel—such as our partners at The Kimpton Cardinal—they can arrive partially dressed and simply finish getting ready in either the Inn or Tiny Cottage. This flexibility allows for a stress-free morning while ensuring you and your loved ones have everything you need. If you are not utilizing the Inn for an overnight stay personally, you're also welcome to offer it to friends or family for the included nights in the Minimal and Bold Packages.
