Wedding day bliss

Chef Michael Brennan and his staff made our wedding day incredible! They literally saved the day. Three days prior to our wedding, our original venue fell through, and so we contacted Cardinal. Not only were they willing to meet with us, they had an entire menu with plenty of options for us to choose from, and we’re gracious enough to shut down their entire establishment. They set up everything beautifully and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Allowing us to utilize the indoor and outdoor space was so amazing, the fire pits outside were so warm and inviting. Everything they did was top-notch, and most of all they took everything off of my plate, and allowed me to just make memories!

Great venue on the Jersey Shore

We held a pre-wedding ceremony at Cardinal in June 2024 and everything turned out fabulous. We couldn't have wished for a better experience!

The staff were great to work with. From start to finish, they were very responsive, flexible, and most importantly- transparent. Cardinal had different packages to chose from, but Chef Michael assured me that I could customize as needed. Needless to say, the food came out great!

The restaurant itself is beautiful. We had access to both the indoor and outside areas. Our guests loved the openness and space as much as we did. There were plenty of great photo locations. I was even able to put up a slide show of all our loved ones on the screen outside.

Overall, we are extremely happy with Cardinal. The food, service, and atmosphere is amazing. Do not skip this unique and modern venue!
