Outstanding! If I could give them more starts I would. Having a destination wedding was difficult as is, they helped coordinate and facilitate everything. I couldn’t have pulled off such a beautiful wedding without them. Attentive, responsive, kind and extremely honest. Thank you for everything! Reviewed on 12-10-2023

We had an amazing experience with using Naimoli Estate for our wedding. Mrs. Wendy was incredibly helpful in coordinating all the details and making the day go smoothly so we didn’t have anything to worry about. She truly went above and beyond from planning to rehearsal to the day of. The staff did an amazing job serving us and were very helpful in transporting us and our guests wherever we needed to be. I appreciated the communication she gave regarding scheduling and timeline adjustments as well. It was the little things the day of that truly made it special. From the fruit plate she prepared for us while getting ready to arranging the flowers and cake topper on our cake, we felt truly taken care of on our day. The lodging and accommodations were perfect for our wedding party and friends from out of town and I loved how close it was to the site. Overall I would highly recommend Naimoli Estate and working with the owner Mrs. Wendy. Reviewed on 28-12-2023

I would 10/10 recommend Naimoli Estate! Ms. Wendy was the best wedding planner and perfect at keeping us on track to make wedding planning the least stressful as possible- and I could not thank her enough for the day of going so smoothly. The venue was stunning and perfect for housing family and wedding party. You can choose to have the wedding ceremony outside or in the barn - I really loved having this security incase we had bad weather the day of. The barn was perfect for the reception and was very spacious to dance, eat, and hangout with guests. I cannot recommend this place enough ❤️ Reviewed on 24-12-2023

Ms. Wendy made things so easy for my special day! She is the best wedding planner there is around and her estate was PERFECT and made me feel like the true princess I was that day! She is the definition of southern hospitality!!! For sure would recommend if anyone is looking for class with a little southern charm, or class with a bit of a rustic feel shes definately got you covered with not one, not 2, but 3 different venues on site with a beautiful Vinyard and wine tasting to go with! Me and my husband also rented the lodge for both of our families to stay in which was great since we were traveling from TN! We love Wendy!!! Reviewed on 23-12-2023

I don’t know what I would have done without Naimoli Estate. They put together my entire wedding and did it WELL! From the moment my husband and I toured the venue we knew it was the one. It’s absolutely gorgeous and so Convienent. The bridal party and family were able to stay spend the night at the venue the night of the rehearsals and wedding night. Naimoli Estates took care of the rehearsal dinner, rehearsal practice, wedding decorations, wedding food, coordinating the day, and everything in between. Myself and my family just showed up and were able to relax and enjoy it all. There isn’t a single thing I would change about this whole process, and it’s all thanks to this great venue. If you’re looking for a venue to host your special day you seriously cannot go wrong with Naimoli Estates. Reviewed on 10-10-2023

Wendy Hughes(other)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2022 My son was married here last weekend. We housed some of the family in the Lodge- Major ant problem, the showers were dirty and the rooms appeared not to of been cleaned . The kitchen is not equipped to prepare meals. Family also stayed in the “Mansion” the upstairs bedrooms were extremely hot, linens were lacking and the pillows were like bricks. The owner “Wendy” would show up at any given moment. She actually showed the space to a potential client, while we were there?! During the reception the guest pointed out to us she was at the table picking at the food with her fingers. The bartenders we’re supposed to inform the bride when the bar reached a dollar amount so we could decide to leave it open or make it a cash bar. They made it a cash bar without saying anything to us. Yes her little dog Stella ran around. We were sad to hear a guest at a prior wedding killed her big dog drinking and driving. While she was paid in full she continues to send random text stating she is owed random dollar amounts for the use of high top tables and barrels all of which were included in her contract. Oh! The golf carts to transport guest were filthy.Mind you the bride and groom left all the flowers for the wedding taking place later the day the left. Reviewed on 07-07-2022

Ashley Thompson(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2022 I wish I had as good an experience as others who have left reviews.Since I can't leave a lengthy, detailed review, I will have to bullet point it.I chose the mansion and garden as the venue for the ceremony and reception.Issues:- it was 85 degrees and sunny the day of and would have cost $150 extra to move it inside.- I paid $400 for a coordinator and Wendy set up my reception based on how the previous bride had it and not how I had discussed.- I wanted a small sweetheart table, a big family style table for the wedding party and parents to sit at (14 people), and 8 round tables for the other guests. Wendy set up ALL round tables because that is how it was setup last weekend. So I didn't have enough decorations to cover the change.- The friends tables and family tables were on opposite sides of the patio and I felt as thought the friends were alienated away from everyone and she had the guestbook set up over by the family so most of my guests didn't even sign.- She let her dogs run around during the reception and didn't clean up after them preventing my dog from being able to be run free because, George, the Great Pyrenees was growling and showing teeth at her.- I sent Wendy the same schedule as the rest of my vendors but decided to use the previous brides schedule and kept telling everyone else no that we needed to follow her schedule.- The toilets inside the mansion didn't work great which was not great since I had food poisoning from the night before.- The lodge, where the wedding party stayed the night before and after, didn't have and toilet paper or extra trash bags.- Wendy tried to get more money the Friday before because she didn't update her list of what is due when I talked to her earlier that week.Positives:- I'm married to my best friend and our dog was able to be apart of the ceremony.- I got to spend time with all of our friends.If I had to do it over again, I would have hired an outside coordinator who actually listened and executed what I wanted. The venue itself I would give 4 stars, but that is it. Reviewed on 15-05-2022

Karen McKay(other)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2020 We toured last January (2020) & reserved a Saturday in May 2020. My son & I placed a deposit down & then COVID hit.... well, I understand that NONE of us were expecting anything like that. I've been debating now for over a year to leave a review & after speaking with others that had reserved & paid for other wedding venues in Nashville to say the least, it was best I do. For they received most if not ALL their deposits back, this lady, WENDY was very determined & even had it in her agreement that \"under no act of God or Government\" and she had NO intentions of even offering a refund. She did, however, offer to let him choose another date for this year 2021, BUT that her prices were going up. So, I’m thinking \"HELL no\".Although the grounds were beautiful, the lady that owns & runs this had no compassion for a young couple already upset that they could not have their wedding. She is a good salesperson though, she made them believe it was all about them & their day.... until their day couldn't happen because KY had shut down pretty much everything last May. She's not about the couples, she's about the almighty dollar. I'm sure she received the Federal $ from COVID as well as all the deposits she had been paid; while my son lost his $2,965.00!
