The Cardinal’s Nest Wedding & Events

Choose between a woodland arbor and open-air chapel as the setting for your ceremony on this five-acre property. Both are so picturesque that if you can’t decide just toss a coin: It’s not like you can go wrong. Weddings of up to 125 guests will be comfortably seated during the ceremony and can later dance the night away at your tented reception. Of course, your guests can also grab a drink at the bar, stroll through the meticulous gardens, relax by a crackling fire, and dig into a catered meal by your chosen vendor. Two log cabins on the property stand ready to serve as a bridal suite and groom’s quarters. The Cardinal’s Nest is named a 2019 “Couple’s Choice” by Wedding Wire.
