Chrissy and Alex | Married November 7

We had the most AMAZING wedding at the Bradford Estate on 11/7/21! They made all of the stress of planning so easy and fun! They think of everything and were super accommodating! Liz was amazing as our coordinator. Rebecca was amazing to work with as our bridal attendant. There is no better place for your wedding!

I can’t rave about Bradford enough. Do you want indoor or outdoor ceremony? Or can you not decide? It doesn’t matter here because you’re the only wedding that day so whether you want to get married in the outdoor ceremony space or inside in the hall, they can accommodate both. If youre like me I never thought I would have an outdoor wedding because too much weather threat but I got to have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony all because I knew if it were to rain (which it almost got close) they could easily switch the ceremony inside. That was a huge stress reliever. The food here is to die for. Our guests can’t stop talking about it! I kept telling everyone to come hungrier than they have ever been, and they were sure happy they did because everything from cocktail hour to entrees to dessert were delicious, our guests couldn’t believe how many selections they offered. Not to mention they are very catering to specialty diets whether its allergies, lifestyles, or just particular eaters they had something for everyone and would even customize entrees if need be to fit the guest’s needs. Rebecca and Elisabeth were incredible. Everything was handled so elegantly and beautifully. They really did a fantastic job keeping my jitters at bay. They were super helpful, incredibly kind, and just radiate comfort where I never had to worry about a thing which for me is huge since Im naturally a huge worrier. They had a handle on any issue that came about to the point I never knew about them and if I did find out, they “were already taken care of and resolved.” I told them my ideas and they carried them out even better than imagined in my head It was the perfect day. This is a very reliable, gorgeous, and friendly venue. Other benefits of Bradford is • they help you establish a wedding day timeline • they have center pieces, linens in every color, table numbers of various designs, table cloths in every color all available for your use, plus the planted flowers in their outdoor space which will save you decoration costs • they set up and load all of your decorations into your car at the end of the night • the bridal suite is always open to you and the bridal party for the entire night • they will only hand your cards and gifts directly to you at the end of the night

Kimberly and James | Married August 23

We booked The Bradford Estate in September 2019 for our 8/22/21 wedding. Throughout the pandemic we stayed in touch with Tabitha who kept us up to date on everything going on. Luckily, our day was absolutely PERFECT. Rebecca was AMAZING! From helping me in my dress, getting us our favorite food, getting our favorite drinks ready, bringing us water during our photos, dancing with us, she was just ALL AROUND AWESOME!!! She was soooo helpful and so sweet the whole day. Without Rebecca our day wouldn’t have been the same! Tabitha’s last day with the Bradford estate was our wedding day. We are SO THANKFUL she could be there for our wedding day. She set everything up PERFECTLY and was so helpful. The food was DELICIOUS. Cocktail hour was fantastic. Everything was just amazing. Everyone here went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! Thank you SOOO much to everyone at The Bradford Estate. Our day was perfect!!!

Elisa and Anthony | Married July 5

If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue in NJ that offers the best food, beautiful location and most accommodating staff, look no further than The Bradford Estate! My husband and I got married in July 2021. We had been planning our wedding for 3 years (we had to postpone twice due to COVID). We searched for venues all across Brooklyn and NJ, and we chose The Bradford Estate. One of the best decisions we ever made! Tabitha and Liz were the most understanding and patient as they helped us reschedule our wedding in the middle of a pandemic. They were always there to answer any and all questions we had leading up to our big day. They were also outstanding when it came to following COVID-19 safety protocol. They went above and beyond to help us and our guests feel comfortable and safe at our wedding. Everyone from Tabitha and Liz, to our bridal attendant Rebecca and the entire wait staff at the Bradford made us feel so special on our big day. They even brought my husband and I a slew of delicious appetizers during cocktail hour so we could enjoy together in our private suite. They swiftly handled every concern we had on our big day so we could enjoy the festivities. And all of our guests RAVED about the food! There was plenty of it the whole night and it was all DELICIOUS! We look forward to the day a friend or relative celebrates their wedding at the Bradford so we can return as guests — that’s how much we loved it! We can’t say enough good things about The Bradford Estate. We are so thankful to the entire staff!

Tiana and Naeem | Married February 7

We had no clue that the Bradford would exceed all of our expectations that had accumulated for over a year. From the service, to the food, no matter how many times we were introduced to a beautiful aspect that our venue had to offer, nothing topped the actual wedding day. For future brides and grooms, select your wedding venue with care. Before you sign those papers consider these questions: is the venue in your budget? Did the staff treat you well from the first contact, through the visit and until you made your decision? Does the staff seem to support couples like you? (As in, do they welcome couples that look/believe like you? LBGTQ? Diverse races? Interracial relationships? Financial situation? Religious/cultural requests?) Was the staff willing to go the extra mile for you even before you’ve made any commitment? Did you feel happy and comfortable from the time you arrived to the time you left upon your first visit? When Naeem and I met Tabitha and The Bradford Estate team we felt welcomed, embraced, and informed. They were excited for us to be there and they truly were there every step of the way. When I needed help figuring out “what is our day going to look like”, Tabitha was right there willing to help. She drew the design for our beautiful ceremony space and organized this beautiful display of our sweetheart table. She helped me narrow down ideas for what each credenza would look like. She designed and created our beautiful broom with a one of a kind design. The Bradford Estate was amazing in every way, from the organization to the rehearsal to the spectacular service provided to us as our guests. I could have easily made this post about the hassle and frustration of visiting OTHER venues but it wouldn’t matter today or any day for the rest of my life because we made the perfect decision. Choosing The Bradford Estate made us forget about the rest.

Wow. All I can say is WOW!! We had the absolute BEST wedding at The Bradford. From the day we booked to the event day, the staff makes sure to deliver on your vision. The entire night ran so smoothly, and we enjoyed every single second of our wedding to the max because of the staff. If you want the best service for your wedding, you need to book your wedding here immediately. You will NOT be disappointed! Thanks again Bradford staff!! You will be in our hearts forever.

Stephanie and Daniel | Married November 3

I don’t even know where to begin. The Bradford Estate was the first of only two venues we visited before making our decision that same evening, and it was the best decision we ever made. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing and never ending, and that bridal suite is to die for. But on top of all of that, there’s the staff. Our day went so perfectly, I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and it was all thanks to them. Our guests can’t stop raving about our wedding and neither can we! I could go on and on. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

Christina and Chris Hoffman | Married June 9

I knew from the moment I stepped into The Bradford Estate that I did not need to look anywhere else! I saved this review as the last one to write because I wanted/ needed to make sure I got this right and then I realized no amount of words could truly describe how amazing and top notch the ENTIRE team is or how breathtakingly beautiful the venue is! The Food: Everywhere you turn there is just MORE food and it is all delicious! From our arrival to the bridal suites we were fed. Our guest thought that cocktail hour was dinner, and everything was delicious! The Drinks: The bars are premium top shelf and the bartenders went above and beyond to create our signature drinks! People could not believe the variety (over 20 bottles of domestic and imported bottles) and great alcohol and wine menu! The Day Of: EXECUTION, PRECISION and SERVICE that can be rivaled by no one! Our guests have called it the wedding for the history books! If you are getting married this is the ONLY place to do it! Bradford has it all!
