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

As Wedding Photographers we could not have asked for any better! Eva and her staff are some of the best we have ever worked with!!! Eva took us around and showed us all of the amazing options we had for photos. She even helped execute every request! The couple we had photographed for had a very very heavy wedding cake topper. It came down crashing breaking on the floor and taking off most of the top layer of the cake during toasts. Anthony ran to the rescue. He took their cake to the back. Not only did he glue their very important cake topper back together. He had resorts pastry chef fix the cake!! In our 200 plus weddings photographed. We have never seen any venue or employees go over and beyond like resorts does. To all couples BOOK THEM - you will not be disappointment with the high-end service they provide and the gorgeous venue they have!
