The Kinder Nest

⭐️ WE HAVE A LITTLE FAVOR TO ASK! ⭐️

The Kinder Nest has officially been part of 45 gatherings already — birthdays, showers, celebrations, family get-togethers and so many special moments. 🥹❤️

And while we are incredibly thankful that every review we’ve received has been 5 stars, we realized something…

We only have 2 Facebook reviews and 4 Google reviews! 😅

So, we’re calling on our Kinder Nest families & friends! 🏡✨

If you have hosted a gathering at The Kinder Nest OR attended one as a guest, we would LOVE if you would take a minute to leave us a Facebook review!

Tell people what you loved. ❤️
Was it the space? The kids having room to play? Everyone having a seat at the table? The relaxed, homey atmosphere? Or simply getting to celebrate without having to squeeze everyone into your own house? 😂

Your reviews mean so much to our small business. They help new families feel confident choosing The Kinder Nest for their own celebrations — and they help us continue growing something that our community has supported more than we ever could have imagined.

45 gatherings down, 30 more on the books and hopefully SO many more to come. 🥹

If you’ve celebrated with us, we’d be so grateful if you’d show The Kinder Nest a little love with a Facebook &/or Google review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And to the handful of you who have already left us a Facebook or Google review — THANK YOU! We truly appreciate every single one. ❤️

🔥 Bonfire nights just hit different. 🔥

Imagine ending your birthday party, family reunion, or any celebration gathered around a crackling fire, roasting marshmallows, making s’mores, and enjoying time with the people who matter most.

At The Kinder Nest, your event doesn’t have to end when dinner is over—it can end with laughter under the stars. ✨

Our outdoor space is the perfect place to gather around a bonfire and make memories that everyone will be talking about long after the fire goes out.

Bonfire Information:
🔥 Special event liability insurance is required.
🪵 Guests provide their own firewood, marshmallows, roasting sticks, and any other bonfire supplies.
❤️ We’ll provide the space—you bring the fun!

Ready to plan a party that feels a little more unforgettable? We’d love to help!

When was the last time you got all your mom friends together… and nobody had to find a babysitter? ❤️

Life gets busy. Schedules don’t line up. Kids have activities. Before you know it, it’s been months since you’ve sat down and caught up with your best friends.

So why not make it easy?

Grab your favorite mom friends and meet at The Kinder Nest!

✨ The kids get to run, play, color, watch a movie, play games, and make memories together.

✨ The moms get 3 hours to laugh, catch up, drink coffee (or Diet Coke 😉), and enjoy each other’s company.

Order pizza or your favorite takeout, split the cost, and you’ve got the perfect weekday evening.

The best part? The more moms you invite, the less everyone pays!

For example, if 4 moms come, that’s just $50 each for the venue. Add about $25 each for pizza and drinks, and you’ve got an entire evening together for around $75 per person.

Have 5, 6, or even 8 moms? Even better! Just split the venue cost however you’d like.

💗 I’ll even make it easy by sending each mom her portion of the invoice, so no one has to collect money from everyone else.

No cleaning your house.
No entertaining everyone.
No worrying about making enough room.

Just show up, relax, reconnect with your favorite people, and let the kids have a blast together.

Who knows… it might just become your new monthly tradition. 💕

We didn’t build The Kinder Nest because we wanted another event venue.

We built it because we wanted a place where families could gather without feeling rushed…

where kids could play…

where grandparents had room around one big table…

where memories mattered more than perfection.
