We had our wedding reception at Cardinal and could not have anticipated truely how amazing it was. Their staff was incredibly accommodating. The food by chef Michael Brennan was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the décor fit our theme perfectly. I had a vision and they truly brought it to life working with me, as the bride every step of the way. We wanted to have an after party to be able to celebrate with more friends and they hands down made it the best, allowing us to take over the entire venue. Cardinal is absolutely beautiful for all kinds of weddings and events but it was breathtaking for ours as we wanted it to be a quintessential Atlantic City wedding. They even let us use their authentic vintage rolling chair for our entrance. I was told on multiple accounts, it was everyone's favorite wedding they ever attended and we would not have been able to do it without Cardinal and the amazing and talented staff there. Thank you, The Burnsides

The team at Cardinal Restaurant was open, honest, caring and understanding throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their intimate yet open space with an earthy vibe was the perfect venue for our special day. They took care of every detail so I didn't have to, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. Chef Michael Brennan's talent is evident in the delicious food, and the mixologists kept our guests entertained with their creative cocktails. The beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces made for the ideal setting for our wedding. The place is a gem and we are forever grateful!
