She executed everything perfectly, and the venue looked exactly as we had hoped - perfectly quaint and not over the top. The price per plate was also very reasonable. The food was great, the staff was attentive, and the views of the countryside were beautiful. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Valley at Neshanic.

We had our wedding reception at Cardinal and could not have anticipated truely how amazing it was. Their staff was incredibly accommodating. The food by chef Michael Brennan was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the décor fit our theme perfectly. I had a vision and they truly brought it to life working with me, as the bride every step of the way. We wanted to have an after party to be able to celebrate with more friends and they hands down made it the best, allowing us to take over the entire venue. Cardinal is absolutely beautiful for all kinds of weddings and events but it was breathtaking for ours as we wanted it to be a quintessential Atlantic City wedding. They even let us use their authentic vintage rolling chair for our entrance. I was told on multiple accounts, it was everyone's favorite wedding they ever attended and we would not have been able to do it without Cardinal and the amazing and talented staff there. Thank you, The Burnsides

*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography
