Not only is The Bedford is an absolutely stunning venue with ample space and excellent ambiance for events, but their staff is friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We used the venue for both the wedding ceremony and reception and it functioned as such beautifully. Not only did the venue make an absolutely beautiful backdrop for photos, but the ambiance was warm inviting to our guests. The venue also supported COVID policy, providing space for social distancing so that we could enjoy our special day safely.

A Romantic and Beautiful Wedding Setting...
The Bedford was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is one thing to plan a wedding but another to do so during a pandemic. The Bedford was great to work with us so we could socially distance and still have a romantic and gorgeous wedding. The facility was decorated amazing and we loved the ambiance and vibe for the evening. I would highly recommend this venue for any event...(as I have attended other meeting/parties there as well.) Beautiful!!!!
