Best Venue Ever
The folks at Cardinals Nest were absolutely amazing! They let us stop by a few times to check out the venue and walked around with us to show all of the fixes they were doing. They were genuinely so sweet and welcoming and it was great to have their experienced input on how we should decorate and arrange the space. We had some bad weather the morning of so we unfortunately had the walls of the tent down but they actually opened it up for me once the rain passed because they knew I wanted to! Even with the rain the venue managed wonderfully with a pavilion for the ceremony and the tent for the reception.
Lacey Piatt•Jun 17, 2026Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy knowing your wedding was everything you wanted it to be!
