WOW! WOW! WOW! The Bradford Estate lived up to every expectation I had for our big day. When I envision something - it almost has to happen. I envisioned getting married outside on a nice, fall day and what do you know - it POURED on my wedding day. I knew it was coming all week, but yet - I was hopeful. Just when they got everything setup for the indoor ceremony, the sun came out! With 20-25 mins left before starting the ceremony, the AMAZING staff set everything up for an outdoor ceremony and as an added bonus found a runner for me to walk on, so my dress wouldn't get too dirty (I didn’t bring a runner, because they have a gorgeous brick aisle and I didn’t want to cover that). I was literally freaking out before I walked down the aisle and my bridal attendants calmed me down, prayed with me and relaxed my mind. The ceremony went just as I had planned - a beautiful, fall day. As we didn't do a first-look, we skipped our cocktail hour to take photos. However, so many guests came up to us during the reception to tell us how delicious the food was and how they’ve never experienced a cocktail hour like it! There is so much food, like SO. MUCH. FOOD! Now to the reception, I envisioned having our immediate family and the bridal party at estate tables lining the dance floor (thanks for that vision, Pinterest). However, we had a really large wedding (198 guest total and the venue max is 210), so I wasn’t sure it would be possible - but the TBE team worked endlessly to accommodate me and made it work. Dinner, Dinner, Dinner … wow! So I’m not sure if TBE is famous for the way they serve dinner Parade Style, but they should be! Parade style is basically when all of the waiters come out at once with meals for the whole table, so everyone at the table is served at once. It’s literally the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen and it was a big hit with our guests (they literally still talk about it and we’ve been married for almost 2 months). And can we talk about the meals - everything was delicious and get this … THEY SERVE SECONDS! My guests couldn’t believe their servers asked them if they wanted to try another main course on the menu after they had already finished their first plate. I didn’t need anything for the whole night, my bridal attendants were amazing! It was a pretty amazing night. When it was all over, I literally cried to Elisabeth at the end of the night, because it was literally a dream night and everything that I envisioned came to life right before my eyes. The last month was crazy, to say the least and I took full advantage of contacting the team with any questions or concerns. They answered every call, every text message and every email. I am so appreciative to the entire team! Fleur, Tabitha and Elisabeth, you ladies are a DREAM TEAM and I’m so lucky to have had you guys! Almost forgot to mention the bridal/groom suite. We got ready on their grounds of TBE and let me tell you - the bridal suite was STUNNING! And can I also add, my husband and his groomsmen had a nice area/room to get ready in and not a closet like most venues. It was a great added bonus to start an amazing day!
