As a wedding DJ, I work at all the local venues and what stands out about Cardinal Hills is the capacity and service. A great venue on its own, what elevates it is, beyond the fact that there are few venues that can COMFORTABLY handle larger events, but the care the 2 owners exhibit. They are there, way before an event starts until the end. They are present with a sole goal of making the day amazing! I look forward to any event I get to participate at here. A great day can come down to the little things...the details. They focus on the big stuff and little stuff as I believe they feel the same. You can trust your big day will be amazing by choosing Cardinal Hills.

We got married at the Riverside Eintracht location on 1-3-25. The venue was the perfect location to hold a small, intimate ceremony with immediate family on the stage. Then we opened up the venue to our family and friends for a big Happily Ever After party in the reception area! Everyone had a great time and it was a night to remember for all! John and Harry were amazing to work with. Any question that came up during planning, any requests that were made, anything that I anticipated may be an issue, John and Harry were quick to jump in, assure me all would be okay, and answer questions and become hands on involved in all parts of the wedding and reception. The last thing that a Bride wants when planning a wedding is stress and uncertainty. Working with John and Harry, they made sure this would not be the case. This says a lot as we planned this wedding and Happily Ever After party in about 30 days and everything went off without a worry and it was the best night! The reception hall was big enough to host 175 guests, the bride and bridal party had their own area to get ready prior to the wedding, as well as a grooms area. The caterer was able to use the service drive to easily get in to set up for the buffet meal (shout out to Mrs. B's catering for a wonderful meal although the venue allows you to use any caterer of your choice). We stocked the bar and Harry kept the drinks flowing. John recommended Charlie B as our photographer and he was there to capture all the moments and memories that we may have missed while catching up with our guests. We added the 360 camera which was a huge hit and provided some from videos from the reception. The decorations were tasteful and classy and John was in the heart of it all switching from the wedding to the reception set up. We would recommend Dayton Outdoor Weddings and John and Harry to anyone. We extend a sincere thank you to John, Harry, and Charlie B photography for making our day magical! 24K Magic! :)

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.
