When you picture your wedding day, chances are you’re not dreaming of traffic, late-night drives, or scrambling to coordinate hotel blocks. You’re dreaming of being surrounded by your closest people—relaxed, connected, and present. That’s the beauty of choosing a wedding venue with on-site lodging.
At Half Moon Empire, we can host up to 42 overnight guests in our seven cottages, giving your most important people the chance to celebrate beyond the five-hour reception.
More Than a Night — It’s a Weekend Together
🌙 Remember the days of high school or college sleepovers? Everyone in one place, laughing late into the night? Weddings are one of the only times in your adult life when people from all parts of your world—family, childhood friends, college roommates, coworkers—are together.
With on-site lodging, those connections last longer than just the reception. From coffee in the morning to cocktails by the fire pit at night, you get the rare gift of slowing down and really soaking in the moment.
Stress-Free, Travel-Free
🌙 Let’s be honest: travel can be stressful. Shuttles, maps, traffic, and making sure everyone gets back safely can take away from the joy of the day. On-site lodging removes that worry completely. Everyone is right where they need to be—from rehearsal dinner to brunch the morning after.
Destination Feel, Without the Hassle
🌙 Couples love destination weddings for the togetherness they create, but flying everyone across the country isn’t always realistic. On-site lodging gives you that same destination wedding vibe without the airports and logistics. You get a full wedding weekend experience—just closer to home.
The Half Moon Empire Difference
At Half Moon Empire, we’ve created seven unique cottages that can sleep up to 42 guests in total. Each one has thoughtful touches like coffee bars, mini fridges, dressing areas, and cozy living spaces—perfect for getting ready on wedding morning or winding down afterward.
✨ Each of our cottages is also uniquely named after members of our family and themed accordingly—a personal touch that makes every stay special. (Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing the stories behind each cottage soon!)
Final Thoughts
Choosing a venue with on-site lodging means choosing connection, calm, and community. Your wedding isn’t just a single day—it’s a whole experience. And we’d love for Half Moon Empire to be the backdrop of that experience.
