Bradford House and Gardens

I had the most beautiful wedding at The Bradford House and Gardens! Thank you Debbie, Susan, and the rest of the staff at the Bradford House!

My husband and I were recently married at Bradford House and Gardens, and would completely recommend them to ANYONE who is looking for a beautiful venue with amazing service. Debbie and Susan made the planning process very simple and stress free, and really worked with us to make sure this was the wedding we wanted. We were married in the fall when the trees were turning orange and red, and the covered outdoor pavilion was a beautiful setting. The food was delicious and our guests still talk about how good it was! The cake was gorgeous and exactly how we wanted it; the baker they use does fantastic work (plus it was delicious)! We would absolutely recommend the preferred florist and DJ; the flowers were spectacular and the music kept everyone dancing for a LONG time. Our experience was amazing and exceeded all our expectations!

Bradford House and Gardens was the perfect wedding and reception venue! The house and grounds are flawless, they are absolutely spectacular and well-manicured. It makes for incredible outdoor pictures! The bride's room is lovely, with plenty of space for girls to hang out, and a nice big bathroom for getting ready. We had our ceremony in the pavilion, which was wonderful because I had always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, but my husband was afraid it would be hot in the sun. The pavilion was cool and beautiful! Our reception was up at the house, and it was terrific. The food at Bradford House is incredible - some of the best food I have ever tasted! I recommend trying the onion tarts (Bradford House's specialty, and a must have!), as well as the strawberry soup shooters, and the lobster BLTs and salmon were a huge hit with all the guests. Ms. Debbie and Ms. Susan ran our wedding and coordinated everything, and they were amazing. They were always there if I had a question or needed advice, and they made sure everything went flawlessly. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything, because they took care of it. They are also the sweetest people and were happy to accommodate any changes or special requests I had. I am so thankful that we had them for our special day. The price for the package I chose was very reasonable as well, it made it easy to choose Bradford house, and I am so happy with my decision! I felt like I had the most stress-free, beautiful, smooth, relaxing wedding in the world, and I had many guests come up to me and say that this was the best wedding they had ever been to!

The all-inclusive package was amazing!! It saved mine (and my mother's) sanity. I loved not having to find vendors and trying to get a good price... I thought the packages were reasonably priced, and the wedding coordinators will make the details as personal as you want. My wedding was absolutely beautiful. The florist did EXACTLY what I wanted. Yolanda went above and beyond my expectations for my flowers. Ciji, the photographer, was fantastic!! She did both our engagement and wedding pictures. They were great! She was very professional and very excited about shooting our wedding. We absolutely LOVED her!! The DJ wasn't necessarily sensitive to my requests for the music, but the reception was still fun.

I was so excited to book my wedding with the Bradford House & Gardens. However, while the venue itself is very pretty and the food was good, the so-called "wedding coordinator" (her name is Susan) did a HORRIBLE job, promising far more than she actually delivered on my wedding day. Before the wedding, Susan seemed very helpful and accomodating. I felt very confident that I would be well taken care of on our special day. However, she failed to coordinate my cake-cutting, our entrance to the reception, the toasts, or our transition between the ceremony and reception. We paid $300 extra for her day-of-the-wedding services, but it was a total waste. The ONLY thing she stuck around for was the entrance to the ceremony. After that, she was nowhere to be found!! For example, she was supposed to have all our toasting glasses passed out to our guests before the toasts were made, but it was not taken care of until my mother went into the kitchen and asked the waitstaff what was going on. Not even they knew where to find Susan. Our DJ had to take over completely and totally saved the day for us. When my mother confronted Debbie (who runs the Bradford House) after the wedding, she verbally attacked my mother and refused to refund the $300 coordination fee. Also, the Bradford House staff hung around just watching our photos being taken, and are standing in the background of all of them! We had to photoshop them out. If you choose to use the Bradford House, be prepared for a totally unprofessional environment, little to no organization, and a very difficult pair of women running things (Debbie and Susan, who are evidently sisters, too...surprise!). Food is good, the cake was okay (they will provide the cake, but offer a very limited selection), but at least the venue is pretty. Good luck!
