WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY..

There’s a lot of beautiful places to get married in North Carolina, but none top The Bradford. We planned our wedding a couple years in advance, and during our first tour we knew this was the place for us. Not only is the property stunning, but the staff was exceptional. What we loved about it was that you could customize every detail of the wedding. The Bradford property allows you to fill the space however you envision your perfect day. We booked our wedding before their renovation, and wow was it an amazing surprise to know that we would be able to use the new space. The renovation really reflects on the experience you’ll receive if you choose to have your wedding there. It shows that they’re always looking to elevate their space— always trying to make the best and easiest possible wedding experience for their customers. In addition, the small thoughtful details around the property make everything that much more special.

When COVID happened, we were scrambling last minute to find a solution. The date was important to us, and something we’ve looked forward to for years. Sarah at The Bradford especially, was such a positive person throughout the experience, kept us updated, and was able to work with us last minute on a plan to still get married and use the house for the entire weekend. We still had our perfect day with all of our vendors (just elopement style!). If they can handle a pandemic so gracefully last minute, I can’t honestly see anything else popping up that they can’t handle!
It also goes to show, whether you’re having 7 guests, or 100 guests, The Bradford is the perfect place to get married :)

Jessica | Bradford Client

“We fell in love with The Bradford when we took our tour last August. It was beautiful then, but now we are beyond THRILLED to be having the wedding at your venue!  It is absolutely GORGEOUS!  It is above and beyond our expectations!!  You and your team did an outstanding job on the renovation and additions, right down to every little detail - LOVE the wood floors, the chandeliers, the windows and doors, the bathrooms, the tile , the paint colors, and yes, those gutter chains! The new backfield is such a pretty setting, with so many options! We also love all the decorative changes to all of the bedrooms and bridal suite! The venue is beautiful on its own and we can’t wait to see how it all comes together on the “ Big Day “ ! Be it 25 guests or 125 guests, we know it will be STUNNING!!”

"The Bradford took my breath away! I traveled to North Carolina for my wedding, and had not seen the venue before the wedding weekend (it was recommended to me by my wedding planner). The Bradford TOOK. MY. BREATH. AWAY. The venue was gorgeous, and the bedrooms and bridal suite upstairs were far more beautiful than anything I could've imagined. The Bradford easily made the entire aesthetic of our wedding!”

Christina /  Bradford client

"We can't say enough how much we loved the Bradford. This was hands down the most beautiful venue we saw and we fell in love with it right away. The Bradford team was such a joy to work with throughout wedding planning and made our wedding weekend an absolute dream. Staying overnight with our bridal party was a blast and spending our wedding night there was the best. We wish we could move in forever!”

Amanda / Bradford client  

"The Bradford itself is gorgeous and versatile. It is a very intimate venue, and there are endless ways to personalize the space to tailor it to your style. The house serves as a beautiful backdrop for pictures, and there are plenty of spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, a dance floor and seating arrangements. Also, Dana and co. have done a fantastic job establishing relationships with vendors in the Raleigh area -- each vendor we worked with were super familiar with The Bradford. That makes a HUGE difference.

Cassie / Bradford Client

“From our initial tour to our wedding night, The Bradford exceeded all of our expectations! It was the easiest choice to pick this venue since it’s so beautiful and has such a variety of spaces to work with. The entire team is friendly, accommodating, and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. We chose the Friday and Saturday package, so the bridesmaids could all stay overnight, and it was such a sweet addition to our weekend. It even rained on our wedding day, and the venue accommodated a rain plan flawlessly. We truly can’t thank The Bradford team enough, and we so look forward to recommending them to everyone.”
