Nestldown is unlike any other wedding venue and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. It is expensive, but I thought it was worth the cost. Brooke, the coordinator, was such a sweetheart and organized. The only caveat is since it is such a big venue, although doable, it will be hard to plan a wedding without at least a day-of coordinator. It is also a little hard to find so prepare your guests for that.

Nestldown is simply stunning. It's truly a very special venue. It's gorgeous, playful, whimsical and the staff is all amazingly professional and incredibly helpful. My guests are still raving about how "unique", "fun", "amazing" the venue was. It really is a one of a kind kind of place.

The *only* caveat is the price. It is expensive, but if you're looking to spend this much money on a venue, this one is the one to spend it on.

I also highly recommend the bridal party staying in the on property cottage the night before. The cottage is adorable and luxurious at the same time, and it was so much less stressful to have everyone already onsite and together when trying to get ready.

I fell in love with Nestldown the minute I came across their website and watched their slide show of wedding pictures. If you ever dreamed of a fairytale wedding with gardens and trees this is your spot. It's in the santa cruz mountains and was a beautiful backdrop to our wedding. Brooke the event manager is regarded as one of the best in the industry and I would completely agree. She was by my side to answer any questions I had through the entire process. She offered suggestions for the right vendors, was detialed down to the minute on our time line for the day, and even walked behind me to hold my dress as I went down the stairs to the aisle. The one thing I will mention is it is a pricey site but it includes so much that in the end I felt it was worth every penny. I suggest getting married their on a weekday if possible and off season if you can. It will save you alot. Best decision we made for the wedding.

I think Nestldown is one of the best venues I have ever been to for a wedding. Working with them was amazing and Brooke their event manager is the most organized and professional people in the business. The price is high so if you can get married during the middle of the week it will save you about half. We got married on a Thursday and it was prefect. We had 4 different spots on the site for our event and everywhere you look there is a beautiful view. If you can come up with the price tag and are looking in the area it will be the best wedding decision you ever made.

beautiful, beautiful setting! Brooke is amazing. Was very flexible and understanding of real life situations.

Enchanting and magical........true fairytale setting! Worth every penny. We had our guest shuttled there so they were surprised and it set the mood for the wedding. Even the largest wedding skeptic will be mesmerized!

If I could do my wedding all over again (or go as a guest) I would definitely have it at Nestldown (again).

The setting is stunning and magical. The service (provided by Brooke, who is sort of an event-coordinator/superwoman person) is exceptional. She basically walks you through what you need to know about your event.

I have to be honest, my husband and I were totally entranced by the place after our first visit and didn't really check out many other venues. We considered museums, other outdoor locations, hotels, and stuff but Nestldown was perfect for our outdoor-loving selves.

Nestldown doesn't come cheap, but for us, it was totally worth the extra $ to have it here because it was so special.

Nestledown is in a beautiful location, and the service is very good. It's high up in the Santa Cruz mountains, so your guests will have a bit of a drive. The only caveat is the expensive price.

Nestledown is a beautiful natural location for a wedding. They did a fantastic job every step of the way. If you are getting married in the South Bay or Santa Cruz, definitely check it out.

Nestldown is hands down the most beautiful ceremony/reception site in Northern CA!! We looked at many many places and Nestldown was the most perfect, special, magical spot that we just HAD to have it! It is expensive, but is definitely worth it. It MADE our wedding. We stayed the night before in the guest cottage with our wedding party which was adorable and perfect. It was really nice to be at the location of our wedding so there was no driving or stress. Brooke Greene is the wedding coordinator for Nestldown and she is absolutely fantastic. She really helped get everything together which kept me calm and happy. More about the site though, there is a train that travels through the property, a fantasy childrens cottage, a beautiful lake surrounded by huge redwoods and a beautiful "barn" that is more like a large lavish cabin etc.. My photos are so gorgeous because of the Nestldown surroundings, I highly recommend this sought after paradise!

Nestldown is a very special place for a wedding. We had our wedding at Nestldown a few weeks ago and all anyone can talk about is how incredible the venue was. Not only is Nestldown perfectly landscaped and a beautiful hideaway, the staff is terrific. They are extremely detail oriented and help to perfect the flow of the event. Brooke was extremely helpful from the moment we walked the grounds of Nestldown to our last dance. She DOES NOT miss a beat. The price of Nestldown may seem a bit much, but after my experience, it was worth every penny. It was straight out of a fairytale. Thank you Brooke and the entire Nestldown staff for your help in making our wedding the best day of our life!

A bit pricey, but wow, totally worth it. This place is breathtakingly beautiful, and I felt like crying the first time we saw this place, it was just so gorgeous. Brooke is the event manager and she does an incredible job in coordinating everything. Nestldown supplied a driver for the London taxi that transports the bride between the very cute house where I got ready, a train engineer who drives the train around the property for guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour, a bocci ball court, a little miniature Alison in Wonderland fantasy house, a treehouse, a pond with koi, etc. Although I have praised our photographer for stunning pictures, they would not be so good if the venue were not so beautiful. My only wish would have been to have been able to stay longer as our dancing time was cut a bit short due to their rule of everyone out by 11 PM, last dance at 9:30 or 10 pm.

Nestldown is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen. If money isn't an issue, then Nestldown is a no-brainer. The only real down-side to this venue is that the party ends at 10 p.m. NO exceptions because it's in a rural area with homes nearby.

we loved this place, the guests love this place, fairytale wedding just about guaranteed if you get married here! :)

Beautiful, amazing place to get married amongst the redwood trees. My guests called it the enchanted forest. It was perfect, however VERY expensive. ($7,500 for site fee alone)
