Held our wedding here and they were the most accommodating! DANIELLE B. was the absolute best and really helped in more ways than you can think. They really help with timelines and anything you might over or under think. Take the tour. Save money on a weekday. It will be worth it. Don't let covid reviews fool you as it was out of their control and a contract is a contract.

The most magical day we ever had! Nestldown truly is a fairytale come true. My wife and I couldn't have been happier to spend the most important day of our life at such a breathtaking location. From our first steps on the property during our tour at Nestldown, we knew that this venue was like no other. After seeing multiple wedding venues, we couldn't go back to any of them once we saw what Nestldown had to offer. From the professional and organized staff to the gorgeous and well maintained gardens, choosing Nestldown was a no-brainer. Our SEC, Jo Ann, was an absolute delight to work with. She helped us with our wedding timeline, all the details about our vendor, what to prepare for leading up to our wedding, and answered all our questions. I'm not sure how she had time to organize and remember every detail about our wedding while helping others as well. Our wedding itself was better than we could've imagined. Nestldown truly knows how to pamper and spoil the bride and groom. As soon as we entered, we were constantly being looked our for. We were handed appetizers when we were hungry, our cocktails when we took breaks, and everything was organized down to a T. We also had the luxury to work with the owner of Nestldown, Barbara. She was the perfect blend of sweet and professional. She somehow knew where every vendor was and what they were doing at all times! My wife and I are still talking about how magical our wedding was. Our guests also can't stop bragging that they went to the best wedding ever. We wish we would experience this day again!

It is a tough time for the wedding industry. Demand is high and tension and emotions can run even higher. Based on our experience, Nestldown and its staff have navigated these challenges with integrity, pride and incredible enthusiasm, still, for the dreamy experience they provide. My husband and I feel lucky to have had our wedding at Nestldown last June, and we feel they'll be a part of our lives for years to come as we plan to visit for pictures (anniversary, maternity, etc.) annually. What venue offers that? A bit about the planning process, we are both fulltime working professionals and needed Nestldown's recommended vendor-based system to even fathom throwing the dream wedding we threw. From our caterer, Le's Kitchen, to our food service provider, Le Papillon, to our photographer, Russ Levi, to our videographer, Hitmaker Films, to our DJ, DJ Woody, to our florist, Bloomsters, to our baker, Cest si Bon, we were blown away by every vendor we selected. That's what I mean when I say we feel lucky. Every single one of them is well vetted by Nestldown. Their standards are high for a reason. As for Nestldown staff, Evan gave us the tour and blew us away. Jo Anne was our main Special Events Manager the months leading up to the big day and it was so fun working with her. The answer to every question was at the tip of her tongue. And a big surprise, which was unique, we had the owner Barbara run our wedding day! I'll never forget Barbara driving us away from the chapel at full speed in a gold cart, all of us full of adrenaline just laughing. Jaynie was the sweetest too. Ultimate wedding-hype person! I really could go on about Nestldown, but I do think it's important to add they stick to their rules strictly. These are rules to which the couple agrees when signing with the venue and they're rules my husband and I respected and communicated to our guests for their own safety.

Beautiful! So many options for the ceremony and reception. There is a small train guests can ride! My boys loved it! Beautifully manicured gardens and huge redwoods. You couldn't take a bad picture here! There's a gorgeous redwood Grove to have the ceremony.

Questions & Answers

Is overnight parking permitted? Someone plans on driving in and shuttling to the hotel, then retrieving their car in the morning.

Hi Steven, Yes! We absolutely support safe driving practices so if you would like to leave your car, please let our Site Manager know as you leave at the end of the night and it just needs to be picked up before 12pm the next day. Nestldown

Love this location! Are the owners considering having small public events (pay per ticket type events)? Wine tasting, catered dinners etc?

Heather H | Feb 26, 2022

Hi Heather, As of right now we are not offering any pay per ticket type of events. If we end up offering anything like this for small events, we would be sure to share information about it on Instagram or Facebook! Have a great weekend Nestldown

Are they able to go with themes? I love the venue so much but my wedding is winter themed since it'll be in the month of January. (Not this January. Pushing for January 2023)

Hannah's Life Diary | Aug 26, 2019

Yes, but themes come through more with your floral, catering, and decor vendors. When we went on our tour, they said they can make some minor changes to the fairytale cottage to fit a more Disney/storybook theme or a more Lord of the Rings theme. You can check out photos of past events at https://nestldown.smugmug.com/ and see how other couples executed themes there.

The wedding is on Sunday evening, August 26. My formal dress is very light weight. Should I plan to bring a winter coat?

Helen Salvay | Aug 26, 2018
Nestldown | Aug 26, 2018

Hi Helen, It is unlikely that you would need a coat as that is generally one of the warmer times of year at Nestldown but it is always a good idea to have one in case! You can leave it in your car and a team member can golf cart you to get it when needed or if the couple is providing shuttles, you can hang it on our coat rack in the barn following the ceremony. Looking forward to you joining us for a special day! Nestldown

Do you have something like a golf cart to get the elderly down the hill to the wedding area

Judy McCormick | Aug 26, 2018
Nestldown | Aug 26, 2018

Hi Judy, Every rental includes a 5 person golf cart to help transport the wedding party and anyone who needs assistance due to accessibility! We are also fully ADA accessible so should a guest not be able to get out of their car and into a golf cart, we have handicap parking at each location of the venue! ~Nestldown
