Nhi & Toan
Owners

We are the owners of Dove Nest Estate. We are both embarking on this journey to own and run an event center/wedding venue as our second careers. Nhi is a retired academic and Toan is transitioning from his years of working as an emergency medical physician. We saw the magic and the potential of the property when we visited the site during pandemic times. With that in mind, we worked to create an inviting, flexible industiral space with modern amenities and rustic charm for people to have celebrations. Nhi dreamed of having a wedding venue and Toan envisions one with a race track. We will have both.
