Sloane Sent on 12/07/2021Best day of our lives
The moment we set foot on the property we knew it would be the place we promised our lives to each other. From that very day everything fell into place. Monica was everything we didn’t even know we needed when it came to planning, recommendations, and day of coordinating. Monica handled everything from beginning to end. She kept me calm, cool, and collected (and hydrated!! Our wedding was in June and very hot!!!) with my nerves and anxiousness the day of our wedding. We love her so much! This venue had it all and the staff was just as incredible as the beautiful scenery and decorations. Without a doubt, this place will be one of our most favorite places that we cherish!!! I can’t recommend this more. 12/10!!! -

I fell in love with this venue the minute I stepped foot on the property for viewing! I knew without a doubt this was the venue for me! The owners are absolutely wonderful and I simply cannot say enough good things about them! Monica was my day-of coordinator and made our wedding day and rehearsal go so smoothly. There is not a single thing that I would change about how the day went. The venue is gorgeous and works no matter what the weather is like. The shuttle service they provide to pick up guests from the parking lot who have trouble walking made things much easier on our elderly guests. We spent minimal money on decorations because Monica... -

You only have to look at photos to understand that the venue is stunning, but you have to experience it for yourself to understand how much time and effort Monica and her team expend making sure your day is perfect! She is knowledgeable, has great recommendations, and can fix almost any problem. Would highly recommend her as your day of coordinator if you’re on the fence. -

Samantha Sent on 07/13/2021A dream come true! Phenomenal
Where do I even begin?! This venue was a dream come true!! We discovered this venue in 2019 and immediately fell in love with the grounds when we visited. Every inch of the property is breathtaking!! We booked immediately after walking the grounds and meeting with the owners, Monica and Stan, who are absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Literal angels from above those two are!! I booked with Monica also with her being our day-of-coordinator- which I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend all brides to do!! She knows what she is doing!! And there is no such thing as a stressed bride with Monica on your side!! She is so professional, attentive, hard-working and so easy to work with!! We were scheduled to get... -

The Cardinal's Nest far exceeded any expectations we imagined. The grounds are beautuful and perfectly set up with the wedding and guests in mind. Monica and Stan thought of every single thing to ensure the wedding was flawless. Again and again I, the m-o-t-b, found myself impressed with yet another moment of a perfectly executed day of wedding plan. This was no doubt due to choosing Monica as the Day-Of Event Coordination instead of someone not familiar with the venue. Choosing Monica for this Cooridnator is really a must-do for anyone considering the Cardinal's Nest. Doing otherwise is really a disservie to yourself. Another particular note is the Access to Extensive Selection of Decor, for they have thought of everything to lighten your load and create the the absolute perfect venue. -

Alaina Sent on 08/13/2020Amazing from start to finish
So, before finding the Cardinal's Nest, I had looked at 9 other potential venues, and just didn't like any of them. I decided to drive by since we were in the area and fell in love immediately. Monica was amazing and made my dream wedding happen. Even though it had rained the night before the wedding and the weather was freezing, everyone worked hard to make the day perfect! She went the extra mile and had blankets, and extra heaters to ensure no one was cold. I didn't have to worry about a thing! The setting was beautiful, and everyone involved with the planning and coordinating were so friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a beautiful venue and people who really care about making your day special and perfect. This is 100% the place you're looking for! -

Chelsey Sent on 10/29/201910/10!!! Monica makes your wedding day the easiest day of your life and she is SO sweet, fun and down to earth. She makes the day about YOU!!
Amazing. Incredible. I have no words to truly describe what my wedding day was like— Although perfect comes to mind. The cardinals nest is a dream. Monica is an angel and your experience will be one you never forget! If I could do it all over again, I’d pick this venue time and time again. The handmade tables, the GORGEOUS outdoor pavilion, the tent and ALL the lights at night are just incredible. Do yourself a favor and get married here, I promise you won’t regret it. :-) happy marriage to you!

Katelynn Sent on 10/28/2019The whole package
I don't think my husband and I could've picked a better venue. Monica and her husband are so incredibly helpful on top of the beautiful location. We didn't have a wedding planner so she went out of her way to answer all of our questions and help us make sure everything was done. The nearby cabins are gorgeous, they were decorated and smelled nice. Plenty of room to get ready. Tons of places to take pictures and an on site bathroom. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. (All photos are credited to Sam Bond Photography) -

Monica was wonderful. Not only was her property gorgeous and included ceremony space and reception tent, as well as cabins for groomsmen and bridesmaids to get ready, but she also did all the decorations for us and was cheerful and helpful the entire time. Monica was our one-stop-shop for everything we needed the day off. She's truly the best and made our day go incredibly smoothly. Get married at The Cardinal's Nest! -

Nicole Sent on 08/24/2019Pictures don't do it justice
This venue has it all. The set up is amazing, the owners are amazing, and everything that is included is amazing.
I was planning my wedding from out of the country. Monica did a video walk-through with me so I could see the space since I wasn't able to view it in person. She was very quick to respond to any questions, but I really had very few questions because she covers everything. She also recommended some amazing vendors who also went above and beyond my expectations.
I cannot stress enough how amazing my whole experience was. -

Amazing!!! I honestly don’t know where to even begin! If I could give the venue more than 5 stars I definitely would!! My husband and I got married at the Cardinal’s Nest the first weekend in June and were blown away by the overall experience! The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of staff, atmosphere, scenery, and overall experience. If you want unsurpassed beauty, open spaces and nature, this is your spot! When my husband and I first went to view the venue we immediately fell in love and knew it was the perfect place for us!! Monica and her husband were phenomenal and made our wedding day everything we could have wanted and... -

WOW! The facilities, grounds and staff of this venue are fantastic. The facilities look new and are well maintained. The staff is warm and welcoming, and easy to work with. The restrooms are clean, climate controlled, and have designer details. -

Monica and her husband did an amazing job putting the venue together. The decorations and the location is beautiful. Monica went above and beyond to help make my day feel special and perfect. She answered all the questions I had and was very helpful when I had no idea what I was doing. She’s professional, organized, and efficient. I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to work with! -

Hands down best experience I could have asked for! Monica made our day run as smoothly as we could have hoped, despite some unfavorable weather - she has these weddings down to a science! You won’t find better, hardworking, more honest people than you do here! -

Ariel Sent on 04/24/2019The Perfect Day
Monica and her husband have created a space where dreams come alive. The open concept chapel is so unique and elegant. If you are a bride on a budget this place is perfect, because it’s beautiful even without all the decor and florals. The beautiful hand crafted wood tables in the reception area are showstoppers. And when the sun goes down the venue comes alive, with twinkling lights and an awesome fire pit for guest to enjoy. But even after the wedding is over and all the guest are gone, your day doesn’t have to end. Getting to spend the night in the cabin on the property after the wedding is the perfect end to the day. This is your venue. Whatever your theme or dream, Monica will help make it come alive. -

Where to start, Monica and Stan were more than helpful with everything we needed, they were always running and doing things to make my wedding as amazing as it ever could have been! They are very flexible with alterations to the venue and they were nothing less then sweet and caring for our families and us! I highly highly recommend The Cardnails Nest to any couple planning a wedding, we loved ours and you will too! -

Sarah Sent on 10/25/2018Loved our Wedding!
We had an absolute blast at our wedding at the Cardinal’s Nest. We got so many compliements on our location, and Monica made the day so easy.
Having two cabins to get ready in were extremely helpful and Monica was responsive and flexible. She was willing to chat through every detail and made it her mission to make it “our day.” Monica went above and beyond to accommodate our large number of guests.
The week before our wedding, it poured for a week thanks to Hurricane Florence. The property flooded a good amount, and Monica and her husband spent a ton of time pumping water out of the venue. Our wedding day was beautiful, and... -

Fairytale Wedding
There aren't enough kind words out there for Monica and her team over at the Cardinals Nest. She was a literal dream to work with through the entire process. My husband and I fell in love with her and her gorgeous venue the second we stepped foot on her property. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and just the way you want it. I had issues with other vendors and instead of me having to handle them, she stepped in and pulled everyone together and knocked it out of the park. The venue is breathtaking and for the price and everything that is included you will not find anything that compares. I would recommend... -
