Nestldown - Los Gatos, California

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.

A honest review from a wedding photographer.

I had my first wedding project at Nestldown back in 2013. I was madly falling in love with this place! I visited the site twice before the wedding, and that project also allowed me to win the ISPWP contest under the "venue" category. I have to say, because of my clients and Nestldown, they gave me the opportunity to grow myself and my team. Now, I have shot many Nestldown weddings in different seasons and different weather conditions. I embrace them all, and I am still madly in love with this place!

This stunning place is famous in the Bay Area. For this review, I want to talk about the people at Nestldown. Running a venue business in the wedding industry is hard, as you can imagine. It takes a ton of energy, money, and skillful people to maintain the property, from architecture to landscaping to transportation. Nestldown is always on top. I am impressed every time I step into this place. All the people who work there are professional, hardworking, friendly, open-minded, and genuinely happy! Every coordinator I have worked with takes full responsibility to organize the whole day wedding in such a seamless way with their efficiency and dedication!

As time goes by, I have become emotionally attached to this place. My team calls Nestldown our working home. The smiles, the warm hugs, the love we receive every time we work there, we can't find another second venue in the Bay Area that can match it. As a full-time wedding photographer who has worked in this wedding industry for 11 years, I will be honest with you: if you want to invest in the best memory of your wedding day, Nestldown is one of the best options!

I was so lucky to attend my sisters wedding here at Nestldown. The most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen! The staff are all so nice and helpful. If you're wanting a fairytale wedding, this is the place! So many amazing details everywhere. Like walking into a dream.

The venue of our dreams! We cannot recommend Nestldown enough -- it is the most beautiful, unique and romantic place to get married. If you want an unforgettable and picturesque venue, this is the spot. Six months later and our wedding guests continue to tell us how incredible our venue was. We did a tour with Ashley and as soon as we met her, we knew we wanted her to be our "SEM" who we'd work throughout the planning process and be our main point person day-of. She is the BEST and is super organized! The rental cost is high but I promise it is worth every penny. I also highly recommend splurging for at least an additional hour (we did +1.5 hours) as the day goes by SO fast. The surrounding Los Gatos area is also wonderful for hosting your wedding guests. All of the staff at Nestldown are a joy to work with -- this place runs like a well-oiled machine.

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!
