‘When Calls the Heart’ Star Erin Krakow’s New Hallmark Movie Airs in April 2023

Erin Krakow of ‘When Calls the Heart’ stars in ‘The Wedding Cottage’ on Hallmark Channel
In The Wedding Cottage, Krakow plays a wedding expert named Vanessa Doyle. To launch her new book, Tying the Knot: A Wedding Guide, she offers one lucky couple an all-expenses paid wedding. The winning couple needs to get married in a hurry, but there’s a hitch. They’ve chosen The Wedding Cottage as the venue for their big day, but it’s been closed for years and has fallen into disrepair.
Currently, artist Evan Sutherland (Brendan Penny of Hallmark’s Chesapeake Shores) is living in the cottage, which he inherited from his grandmother. He has no intention of opening the space up to guests, but Vanessa turns on the charm in an effort to change his mind and give her clients the wedding of their dreams. As Vanessa and Evan grow closer, it becomes clear how much the cottage means to both of them.
The Wedding Cottage premieres Saturday, April 15 at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel.
