A truly magical venue with an amazing team of professionals!

My partner and I had the best experience with Nestldown for our minimony. We had toured a few other venues but after seeing Nesltdown, there was no competition. There is nothing quite like it - it truly looks like something out of a fairytale and there are so many little touches that make the property so magical.

The booking process was very smooth for us and shortly after, we were paired with our SEM, Danielle to discuss the timeline and details for our minimony. Danielle is such a sweet person and was integral in bringing our vision to life. She kept us on track during the planning process and she was such a calming presence for me on the day-of as my nerves were through the roof! Our ceremony and cocktail hour went off without a hitch, and I know Danielle did so much behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly.

I had so many of our guests compliment us on how beautiful the venue was and how kind all of the Nestldown staff were. We couldn't have picked a better place to get married and we are so grateful to Danielle and the rest of the team at Nestldown for all the work they put into making our day so special!

Hands down the most incredible wedding venue in Northern, CA! My wife and I are in the business and have seen them all. There are no words to describe the beauty of the site, and the professionalism and service provided by the staff and owners demonstrates a passion and love far above and beyond the call of duty. We are in love with Nestldown and everyone associated with it!!! Our daughter's wedding was such an incredible event. If you select a site without seeing Nestldown you are making a big mistake! Do yourself a favor and view the video on their website, you will see what we mean. Nestldown should be a World Heritage Site for weddings!!! Looking to impress your guests, here are some comments we received, all of them from professionals in the business. "Hands down the best wedding I have ever been to", "The event of the century", "the most beautiful venue I have ever seen", "we were honored to be invited to such a special event". Every day we get another call or card thanking us, as do our daughter and her husband. Amazing!

Fairytale Come True!

Nestldown is truly a fairytale come to life. Not only is the property full of natural beauty and exquisite landscaping, but their team is truly top notch. We fell in love with Nestldown on our first tour and can't image getting married anywhere else. The sprawling property has so many areas available for you to use on your special day. From the redwood chapel, apple knoll, koi pond, and gorgeous barn - there is no shortage of stunning photo ops and beautiful settings to celebrate in. On top of the gorgeous venue, the entire Nestldown staff is truly exceptional and set the industry standard for event planning. We were lucky enough to work with Danielle for our wedding and she went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect day! I am still in awe of this wonderful venue and highly recommend Nestldown to all couples!

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!

Nestldown is a dream wedding venue. It’s gorgeous, everything is run super smoothly, and the people are super nice and go the extra mile to make sure everything is awesome. Pricey, but worth every single penny!

Some highlights:
- They 100% have weddings figured out. They helped us with every detail (even if they weren’t organizing it, they were still reminding us to). Every single thing is thought of ahead of time, so when the big day comes, it just all happens so smoothly.
- They do have a lot of rules and restrictions, but we loved it! Made decision making easy and everything was buttoned up. It never limited what we wanted to do.
- Barbara and Claudette were so kind. Great communicators. Organized. Each meeting and walkthrough was fun and productive.
- The venue itself is BEYOND stunning. The redwood chapel was the most magical place to exchange our vows— it alone was unforgettable. Foxglove Meadow was everything I could have imagined for a cocktail hour with lots of yard games and gorgeous treeline. The barn was the perfect place to dance the night away. The landscaping is gorgeous. Lush and manicured without being prissy.
- Highlights: Whisking us away briefly for 5-10 minutes right after the ceremony so we could spend some time with ourselves (plus champagne, appetizers - so smart). Bringing blankets out when temperatures started dropping at dinner. Knowing the barn was a backup plan in case of rain, so no need to worry about tents etc. The miniature donkey, Starbuck! We actually knew him from his previous residence down near Aptos, so we had a special fondness. For our wedding day, they groomed him and brought him to hang out and take pictures — it was so special, and we really appreciated all the extra effort.

Nestldown Amazing

Married at this venue years ago and visit every year since. The staff is friendly, helpful and make your day as important to them as it is to you. The owners take pride in their piece of paradise and it shows with all the details they have added through the years, not just on the property, but with the team they have working and the options they have added to make your day magical.
Recommend Nestldown for the perfect day.

Nestldown was the BEST decision we made for our wedding day!

First of all, the venue is stunning. If you have not seen it in person yet, I highly recommend that you check it out because it is even more beautiful than what the pictures can capture. When we went to see the venue for the first time and I heard the music from the speakers that are hidden throughout redwood trees, I fell in love with it immediately.

Secondly, the Nestldown staff and their preferred vendors are extremely professional and great to work with. They help a TON with the planning process and made me to feel so at ease every step of the way. My wedding coordinator was Barbara Beck and she was amazing to work with! She is so sweet and incredibly organized. I felt like she genuinely cared about making sure our wedding day was all we had hoped for it to be!

We got so many compliments from all of our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how perfect everything turned out! The entire day was better than we could have ever dreamed of! Thank you Nestldown!

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.

This venue is simply amazing! It was the star of our wedding and everyone enjoyed it. We had wanted to get married in the outdoor chapel but rain forced us to have the ceremony in the barn. It was gorgeous in there, though, and quite frankly I cannot imagine a better indoor venue than the barn so it was a win-win situation in the end. Brooke was amazing at helping us run the day and you really do not need a day-of coordinator there with her to keep on top of everything. With it pouring at the end of the night, they even helped transport our guests back up to the parking lot which I though was very nice of them. I highly recommend you check out this venue if you are in the area. It is truly unique and no one will forget it. I only wish the sun had been out so we could have ridden the miniature train :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
