Absolutely stunning!!! Nestldown did a phenomenal job for our wedding in October. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, it was flawless! Nestldown is such a magical venue that takes you away from reality and into a fairytale. Our friends are still raving about how this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
We first kept in contact with Diana who was awesome and was really great with communication & a quick response to any questions. Then we were assigned our wedding coordinator, Brigette. She was the perfect match for us. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was on top of everything! She really executed our vision of our special day. Missy was also great and a lot of the guests told me she was super helpful. Thank you Nestldown!!!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to photograph a wedding at the stunning Nestldown. This place completely blew me away! Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the surroundings are absolutely breathtaking, with lush gardens and majestic trees creating a fairytale setting for any wedding. The team at Nestldown did an outstanding job bringing the couple's vision to life, and everything flowed seamlessly. In my view, Nestldown is more than just a venue – it's a dream destination for any wedding!

As a local wedding photographer, I am based out of Santa Cruz, Ca Kassandra Thomsen Photography, I get the benefit of working with many local venues. Nestldown always remains one of my top venues to refer. Not only is it stunningly beautiful, it has so many location options providing a variety and fulfilling the style of any couple. The staff and preferred vendors are absolute professionals. I feel so lucky to return every year. A definite must tour if you are a couple searching for the perfect wedding venue.

As a wedding videographer, who is not exactly local, but have had the opportunity to shoot at this venue on many occasions, my team and I have always enjoyed the projects that we have been able to create here. Coming from the Central Valley, when I had my first wedding project here back in 2018, I said that this venue was one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have seen and even until today, I still say the same thing after working many weddings here through the years. Their staff is easy to work with and they always have everything on time. The similarly set schedules for the event day helps in creating a timely and familiar agenda for returning vendors. My team and I have been able to work with one of their preferred photographers, JJ Chen, here on many of the occasions. With the breathtaking scenery, this venue is definitely one of the premier venues of choice for every season.

Our wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. The redwoods, the train to happy hour, the beautiful grounds with the cottage and treehouse. It was magical. What truly made it the most special however was the staff. Joann was our coordinator and I don’t think we could have made it through the day without her. Everyone was kind, funny, and dedicated to giving us the greatest day ever. If I had even a mild concern it was immediately fixed. And don’t get me started on the 15 minutes they give you just to be by yourselves after the ceremony. One of the greatest moments. It’s hard to put in to words the full scope of how grateful we are to the staff at Nestldown. Our day wouldn’t have been nearly as magical without them.
