We got married on 10/20/2022 and Nanina’s was an absolute dream. From our very first meeting through pick-up the day after, we were treated like royalty!
The generosity and kindness of every person was unmatched and we can’t begin to explain how great the 2 bridal attendants were on our wedding day.
The venue itself is so stunning. We had an outdoor ceremony and the landscape was so naturally beautiful that we didn’t feel the need to add any of our own decorations.
The food. Let’s just take a moment to acknowledge how AMAZING the food there is. You simply can’t compare the quality and amount of food they offer to any other wedding venue.
Honestly, we have nothing negative to say about our entire experience with Nanina’s and we can’t wait to be at another event there!

November 2021 bride here- I cannot say enough about Nanina's! We had the absolute most perfect wedding of our dreams. From the very first tour we had with Julian to our wedding day, there was not a detail left out. Julian was an absolute pleasure to work with. Wedding planning during the pandemic wasn't easy but he was there to help us every step of the way. Thankfully we did not have to change or reschedule our wedding, it was perfect. The day of we had Vicky as our maitre'd and she was phenomenal. Vicky and our bridal attendant never once left us hanging, they were there every single second that we needed something from helping with my dress to making sure we always had a full drink in our hands. Our guests are still raving about the food (it was the main reason we chose Nanina's) and we loved that the library room provided enough seating during cocktail hour for everyone. There was not a single detail left out. We would choose Nanina's a thousand times over again and would highly recommend them to anyone searching for their perfect wedding venue!

My husband and I were married at Nanina's on 10/21/2022. From the moment we had met with Steve during our initial consultation, we were sold on having our wedding there. From the beautifully manicured grounds, to the food/drink options, to having a venue assist with every aspect of our special day, we were so happy to have chosen Nanina's!
THE VENUE:
10/10 - the updated ballroom and bridal suites (x2) are stunning. Our wedding party opted to get ready the morning of in the bridal suite and we were catered to with an assortment of breakfast options. Nanina's has 3 beauty stations for hair/makeup and private bathrooms within the suite, along with couches, a bar, and a huge table to gather around. The men were catered to in the groom's suite and were served lunch and beverages.
The downstairs cocktail hour was the perfect location to take more masculine pictures of my husband. The warmth of the room made it feel cozy while you received your first drink and cocktails.
The ballroom is absolutely fabulous - they have multiple options for how the room can be set-up too.
THE FOOD:
10/10 - the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Anything you could think of, Nanina's had or offered! We had opted to add a fresh mozzarella table and our guests RAVED about it. Cocktail hour at Nanina's in unmatched - the food never seemed to end! Guests really enjoyed the wide variety, and they had plenty of tables to sit/stand at, with lots of bars/waiters to serve top-shelf drinks. Months later, our guests are still raving about our wedding food. We did opt to give our guests the option to chose their dinner meals day-of, and people loved that they weren't stuck with choosing beforehand. We also loved that Nanina's had a Viennese table, and we were able to chose from 2 bakeries for our wedding cake (we went with Calandra's Bakery).
THE STAFF:
10/10 - We cannot thank the following individuals enough: Liz, Steve, Sally (AM Bridal Attendant), Moon (PM Bridal Attendant), Cyrus (Maitre D), Vicky, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some more but these were the individuals who really made our day so special.
- Liz did an outstanding job scheduling us to see the grounds, giving us her very honest opinions, which we truly appreciated, providing us with outstanding recommendations for our welcome dinner, food truck vendors, hotels/transportation, and overall coordinating all of our little details. She fielded all of our phone calls, emails, and concerns, and handled them with such professionalism, we couldn't have had our special day without her years of knowledge and patience in the months leading up to our big day.
- Vicky created a special round menu for our dinner plates - it was this added touch that we were so happy to have had our wedding at Nanina's because they went above and beyond.
- Cyrus was there to ensure our day went smoothly and to make sure everyone in the bridal party + family were attended to, as well as ensuring our guests had an amazing time/experience.
- Sally was AMAZING! We had an issue with my dog getting dirt on my white "getting ready" PJ's and Sally was able to make them brand new! She helped steam our PJ's/dresses, attended to getting us food/drinks, and was so helpful in maintaining a fun demeanor while getting ready. She also helped me get into my dress which was super helpful, as every bride can attest to that struggle.
- Moon was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I cannot thank her enough - she was so attentive without being overbearing, walked me through everything going on for the day, and really made sure I (the bride), and all of my bridesmaids were well taken care of during pictures and throughout the night. She was like Mary Poppins - she had my lipstick on hand at all times and touched it up, always asked if I could use a drink or something to eat (super important), and was there to help me with my dress (bathroom, bustling, you name it). She also carried around Band-Aids, deodorant, my wedding perfume - everything a bride needed to stay fresh on her wedding day. She was truly a blessing and I can't thank her enough.

We got married on 4/7/22 at Nanina’s! And all I can say is WOW. From the people to the food everything was amazing. I had so many guests come up to both me and my husband ranting and raving about the food and ambience! We worked with Steve and he never made us feel pressured or rushed on making a decision. Everyone made us feel like family! Liz at the front desk was also amazing. She really helped me stay calm during the whole process and even helped me with my hotel reservations and transfers! We really can’t wait to have another event at Nanina’s! Thank you so much for making our day the best day ever!

Attended a friend's wedding at this venue. We thought that we would have time to change into our shoes and get our things out of the car but we felt very rushed. We had to hurry to give the keys to the valet since it was a short roundabout style driveway and there were cars waiting behind us.
The food during cocktail hour was plentiful and very tasty. Wish I had eaten more because I felt it was better than the main course later on. My hubby thought the oysters had too much sand in them so he did not enjoy them. The risotto was excellent. We met the cute old chef who was serving up shrimp and he was so proud of his risotto! It was endearing. Next to the whole pig with sunglasses on was a Chinese food section. They put out chopsticks and sake?, which is Japanese the last time I checked. They get an E for effort.
We enjoyed the open bar. Everyone loved the espresso martinis. We also downed many shots of tequila. For the main course I chose the salmon which was good. My hubby ordered the steak. The server said it was filet mignon but it wasn't. It was a different cut of steak. We had a lot of fun that night. When we decided to leave we were surprised to see that they had turned the room where we had cocktail hour, into a dessert bar. We saw the chocolate fondue fountain, an ice cream station and lots of other sweets. This is a lovely venue and I'm glad our friends had their wedding celebration here. 👰🤵🥂
