No Wedding Planner Needed
Many NJ wedding venues tend to leave the majority of wedding planning up to the couple, which can mean hiring an outside wedding planner or even a day-of coordinator. That’s not the case here. The Bradford Estate provides a team of experienced on-site coordinators who guide you every step of the way, from your first tour of the estate to your final send-off as newlyweds. We give our couples the tools to help with planning, choosing vendors and even including decor for them to choose from.
Our team brings a deep understanding of the venue and a genuine passion for helping couples create unforgettable celebrations.
