Monica and Stan thought of every single thing to ensure the wedding was flawless. Again and again I, the m-o-t-b, found myself impressed with yet another moment of a perfectly executed day of wedding plan. This was no doubt due to choosing Monica as the Day-Of Event Coordination instead of someone not familiar with the venue. Choosing Monica for this Cooridnator is really a must-do for anyone considering the Cardinal's Nest. Doing otherwise is really a disservie to yourself. Another particular note is the Access to Extensive Selection of Decor, for they have thought of everything to lighten your load and create the the absolute perfect venue. Thanks Monica and Stan for making our daughter's wedding "better than she ever could have imagined!!"

The hotel is clean, comfortable and very welcoming, giving me the best sleep I could ever imagine. My room was ready early, so I was able to check in and still spend some quality time at The Island. Even though my room was next to the elevator, I never heard it once throughout the night (I guess I was pretty tired from the weekend in Gatlinburg, but still). The balcony was clean and provided a great view of the city too. Plenty of toiletries available in room (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided) and a market at the lobby to buy a quick snack or drink. The bar at this hotel is nice and cozy with a television for your sports viewing pleasure. Definitely will want to stay here again when I am back in 2027.

They knew that the weather was going to be off the day of our ceremony, so they moved our ceremony time up an hour and thanks to their insight it was more beautiful than I could have ever expected. Sarah's photography skills are out of this world and I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get married in the eastern Tennessee area!!! They're also amazing with small children. My daughter loved them both, and when she started crying during the ceremony Casie stepped in, took her, and calmed her down so that my mother in law could actually watch the ceremony! Again, just a lovely bunch of people to work with! And in the wedding industry you get what you pay for. I see people complaining about the price of their photography, it's not bad at all!!! Even back home in the little town I live in, you're looking at around $3k-$4k for a good wedding photographer. And we didn't have to pay anywhere near that!!!! I, for one, am more than happy with how our photos came out, the price of the ceremony and photography and with the entire wedding as a whole. I would definitely give them more than 5 stars if possible!!

Do not get drug in by the gorgeous venue and beautiful photography. We spent almost 2 years in…read moreadvance planning this wedding, spent about $5k, and traveled 8 hours for me to leave in tears on my wedding day. We arrived 10 minutes early and started to get ready. I asked them multiple times to please put out our favors. None of our guests got favors. We had paid extra for a wedding cake and 3 dances which should've added an extra two hours onto our event time. They did not extend our event time like we paid for. They cut our photo time short and we had to choose between getting photos on the deck or in the field because another wedding was arriving and there wasn't time for both. When I mentioned that they were cutting our event short the coordinator tried to blame us saying that we were late, I mentioned that we were actually early and the coordinator responded by attempting to blame us again and saying that we weren't ready on time! (Which is NOT true, I have selfies on my phone with a time stamp showing that We were dressed and ready to go on time.) i am assuming that's her go to excuse when SHE messes up! I did not appreciate her attempting to gaslight me on my wedding day!! Mistakes happens, I get that. But they should've pushed back the next wedding by 30-45 minutes so we could enjoy our moment! Instead they made an announcement over the speaker telling everyone to leave. After that announcement it's like we didn't exist and they just wanted us out. I did not get to eat cake with my guests, I did not get to have my first dance with my husband or my mom. My guests didn't even get napkins and had to eat their cupcakes standing up! We had guests come all the way from Ohio and Florida to be treated this way. I am disgusted by the way they treated my family and I. I poured my heart and soul into this wedding and wanted it to be special and they just treated us like it was a drive through wedding and rushed through it quickly so they could squeeze another wedding in. We ended up dancing to our first dance song on the back porch of my moms Airbnb. The whole reason I chose a destination wedding is because I wanted to keep things low stress since I struggle with my anxiety and they made our special day insanely stressful!!! These people should not be in charge of happily ever afters!!! I was so upset that on the way back to our Airbnb my husband had to pull over and I got physically sick on the side of the road. I spent the first few days of our honeymoon in tears, mourning our reception. They did call and apologize and offered us $200 or 10 extra photos in our wedding album. (As if $200 could replace the priceless memories we lost.) I asked for them to instead refund the full amount of money we paid for the cake reception and they agreed. (The photographer was the one who called us to sort everything out when it wasn't her responsibility, It should have either been the coordinator or owner who called since they're the ones responsible. Extremely unprofessional.) Having the refund eases a tiny bit of the pain but it truly isn't about the money. Nothing can fix this. The memories we lost are priceless. I spoke with them many times before the ceremony because I wanted to make sure that everything would run smoothly. They reassured me time and time again that they had everything under control when in reality they couldn't even handle the 3 hour timeline we had booked and paid off over a year in advance. My heart is shattered. Please believe me when I say they DO NOT care about your wedding! All they care about is the money. Do not trust them with your big day!! There are so many destination wedding venues in Tennessee and you deserve a lot better than flower mountain!! The only highlights of our day was Kate and Ethan. Our photographer Kate was phenomenal!! She had a beautiful personality and was very fun to work with. The photos she took are absolutely breathtaking, she was the perfect wedding photographer. Ethan was our officiant and performed a beautiful ceremony. The ceremony was perfect. It was our coordinator/management ruining our reception and placing the blame on my shoulders, that ruined our flower mountain experience.

Since the stadium has closed, I was curious whether the hotel's quality had declined as well. Fortunately, that was not the case at all. The outside of the hotel was clean and well organized, and the lobby appeared to have been recently renovated. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. We were assigned Room 414, and the room was very nice. It had clearly been recently renovated, with the carpet removed and replaced with laminate flooring in the bedroom and tile in the hallway and bathroom. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The room included a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, hair dryer, and clothes steamer. The shower was spotless, and the air conditioning worked great. There was also a new Samsung TV that appeared to be around 55 inches, and the picture quality was excellent. I also took advantage of the breakfast buffet one morning. Fresh coffee was always available, and there was a great variety of food. The buffet included regular and blueberry waffle batter, cooked cheese omelets, sausage links, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, as well as a selection of danishes, toast, muffins, and bagels. They also offered fresh fruit, cereal, and juices. Bottom line, there was something for everyone. The dining area was very nice, clean, and spacious, making breakfast a comfortable experience. Overall, we had a great experience at this hotel. The recent renovations, cleanliness, friendly staff, comfortable room, and variety of breakfast options all made for a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.
