The Bradford Estate Reviews

I couldn't have asked for better from the Bradford Estates for our big day! From the moment we stepped in there, we knew that was where we wanted to get married. They make you feel at home and welcome from the very beginning, answering questions and providing guidance. It was the first venue we went to and the lady who met with us even gave us pointers for things to look at when visiting other venues!! My husband wanted to sign on the dotted line without seeing anywhere else.

The day of, they didn't disappoint. The food was incredible (really, our guests are still raving about it), the staff was on point all night and well the venue itself is just beautiful throughout. They had just finished the upstairs bridal suite days before our wedding. That was just the icing on the cake. They also work with some of the best vendors in the business. Our cake from DiBartolo's was delicious, DJ Paul from DJ's Available had us up and dancing ALL night, Perfect Day Photography nailed it and Alisha Simone from Elegant Event Flowers took my breath away with what she designed for us! Best decision we've made for the best day of our lives!!!

The Bradford Estate was beautiful and so accommodating.... all the guests keep raving about it the food and service . Our day was magical and definitely one for the books! Thank you to the whole team at The Bradford Estate!

My husband and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about The Bradford Estates. From start to finish, the employees at Bradford were outstanding to work with (especially Victoria). The package value we got for our wedding was amazing and didn't even come close to matching other vendors in the area. Luckily, we got to take advantage of their brand new cocktail hour room and gorgeous bridal suite. The food was incredible and many of our guests told us it was one of the best weddings they have been to. Honestly, we feel as though Bradford is South Jersey's "best kept secret." Definitely consider looking at this amazing venue for your event!

The Bradford Estate was an absolutely beautiful venue! The entire process was just smooth from the beginning. My husband and i honestly felt as though we had no stress or worry knowing that the staff here was in charge. The staff at the Bradford Estate could not have more accommodating and professional if they tried. Between Tabitha, Beau, Sarah, and the wait staff- our night turned out to be one to remember for not just my husband and I but for our guests as well who (3 weeks later) are still mesmerized but the service and care provided to us all. Thank you all so much for taking the time to listen to what we envisioned for our wedding and making it a reality!

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the experience we had at the Bradford Estate. We booked with Corey over a year before the date of our wedding. He was wonderful to work with, especially anytime I had a question or needed advice. There are two things that I would like to bring attention to that stood out to both my husband and I. First, we have 3 daughters who were in the wedding, one of which is only four years old. The staff was absolutely wonderful with all three of our daughters. Our youngest fell asleep half way through the night and the staff was very helpful offering anything to help with her. Corey, the assistant personally helping me was especially wonderful!! Anytime I needed anything she was available!! The second thing I would like to mention is how patient and wonderful Corey and the staff were about us making a last minute decision to move our wedding inside. Every bride doesn't want to see this happen on her wedding day, especially when the outside was setup so beautifully, unfortunately 15 mins to the start of our ceremony the rain came. My husband and I wanted to wait until the last possible second we could to make our decision and thankfully Corey was wonderful about it. The staff was very efficient and the room was just as beautiful, especially with the sun returning to shine halfway through our ceremony. Overall, I wouldn't have wanted our day to any different. My guest all had a wonderful experience and continued for weeks to talk about how great our wedding was!!

Everything went as discussed, but even better than exceptations, from the moment we arrived to venue to the end of the night, our families & criend are still calling to say " it was the Best wedding they have attended ." They executed our vision and them some, to the warmth & professionalism of each staff member our guess were welcomed and their needs were meet if they required any without any reservations. I would highly suggest this venue to all.

Bradford Estates is a beautiful venue for an Elegant wedding! There food is amazing ! The ONLY down fall it does not have a bridal suite it only has a trailer set up outside however the trailer is nice inside....

Where to even begin with our experience with and our love for the Bradford Estate! I cannot thank the Bradford Estate staff enough for making our wedding day as wonderful and memorable as possible. Every single detail was exactly how we had envisioned it and more. From the moment we had toured the Bradford Estate with Tabitha, we instantly fell in love. It was everything we had wanted in a wedding venue and more. Despite being a covid wedding couple and having to postpone our wedding, Lis and Tabitha made the transition from a June wedding to a February wedding as easy and seamless as possible. They were there to answer any and all questions throughout the entire process. They made sure that despite having all of the restrictions by the state, our wedding was still just as beautiful and fun for us and our guests. There was not a single thing we had to worry about. Between Allison and Rebecca, they catered to every single want/need throughout the day of our wedding. Even jumped right in with some interesting tasks with our family! They were the best bridal attendants we could have asked for. They truly made our day. I cannot recommend the Bradford Estate enough. They went above and beyond in every single aspect to ensure we had the perfect day!

Bradford is AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough great things about the place and the staff. From the moment my husband and I met Victoria for our tour, we knew this was the place we wanted to have our reception! Victoria is so helpful, throughout the entire process, which is something I'm very grateful for because I needed her guidance. The rest of the staff, including all of the servers, bartenders, cooks, etc are so nice and professional. The renovations are gorgeous, the cocktail hour room is my favorite! I still can't believe the amount of food that was served that day, my mom originally thought I was kidding when I showed her the menu. Not only do you get a lot of food, it's delicious! I want a friend to get married here, just so I can eat there again! The decor was beautiful - they decorated for Christmas with lights outside and a tree inside - which is exactly what I wanted! I just got my proofs back from my photographer and I love the ones at Bradford, just an amazing venue!!

My husband and I got married at the Bradford Estate on 8/17/2024. The venue is very pretty! Something I liked from the first visit was that the photos in the brochure accurately represented the spaces. At other venues I felt like the pictures were nice but then was disappointed during the visit. This place was just as beautiful as the pictures. They have a few outdoor locations for photos and the ready rooms are photogenic as well. We didn't get ready there but my husband and I got dressed there to have the photos in the ready rooms and to have the first look outside. It was a summer wedding, and they had colorful flowers planted. The food was really good, and there was a lot of it! My parents really wanted a venue with good food for this event and this place definitely delivered. I was nervous since there is no way to try the food before signing a contract and paying money so we relied on the reviews that raved about the food and they were right! The tasting was ok but the food at the event was better. We got the chateaubriand, the bradford chicken, and the salmon/shrimp duet. Caesar salad, roasted veggies and potatoes. Cocktail hour had a lot of different options for guests and all of it was tasty! We picked the pasta station and the mediterranean, along with a pretzel to-go station at the end of the night which guests seemed to appreciate. The service was so good that my relatives were complimenting me for finding a place with such excellent service! I was nervous since at the tasting I was served fish instead of vegetarian but they were on top of everything for the actual wedding night. The sales people were very friendly and communicative throughout the entire planning process. For the actual event day planning, there was a different host who set up the timeline and made sure vendors and events were on schedule. The staff combined with my day of coordinator really made for a perfect day. The timeline was smooth and they clearly have a system that works. I liked that I did not have to make many decisions other than napkin color and centerpiece stand style. They covered everything else and made my day stress free! This venue includes so much, it was an excellent place to get married! I didn't know that I would have a dedicated bridal assistant who would hold my flowers and my train in between photos. It was weird at first but after I got used to it, it was nice! She walked me through the bride's portion of the entrance for the ceremony and I thnk she was also managing other staff after the ceremony ended. I enjoyed having her and just wish I understood her role earlier!

This was the first location we picked and I fell in love the moment I walked in. This was even before things were remodeled and I for sure was extremely happy with the final results. Wayde helped us with everything and was so amazing! He is at most professional and at the same time will make you feel like family. The staff was awesome as well, I had Cheryl with me the whole time making sure everything was to my needs as the Bride. The food selection is fantastic. I loved the exclusive wedding events held there throughout the year to see different vendors & try the food. My experience turned out amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone for any event. Thank you!!!

My daughter's wedding was held at The Bradford Estate in July, 2022. All I can say is WOW! It was top notch in every way. The garden ceremony, the venue, the food, the bar, the staff, the details, the service - all absolutely wonderful. Our guests are still raving to us how fantastic and elegant the day was. A huge thank you to the manager, Elisabeth Nolan. She is a pro and knows how to make sure that everything is perfect and attended to. The staff really listen to your needs and take care of all of your details. It was a completely worry-free day for us from beginning to end. If you are considering having your wedding there, I can honestly say that this place would be VERY hard to beat.

Words cannot describe how amazing our wedding was at the Bradford Estate. From the minute we stepped into the venue for the first time when we were planning our wedding, we knew that this was our venue. The amount of detail they took to go over the minute details for the day even before we planned anything was amazing. In between the initial visit and the actual event, they were so easy to work with. Beau and Victoria made sure every request we made was taken care of, even the weird and crazy ones (like stocking caffeine free diet coke for the father of the bride). The day of the wedding could not have gone any smoother. The entire staff went over and beyond our expectations. Every single one of our guests could not stop raving about our venue, their attention to detail, and the food. We would not hesitate to recommend the Bradford Estate to any new bride and groom.

It took months to choose just the right place for my wedding. It was stressful, scary, and overwhelming... Until I finally went for a tour of The Bradford Estate.
For the months leading up to my wedding, I was in CONSTANT contact with the Bradford's coordinator, Tori. She was amazingly helpful, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and managed all of my wedding details to help us create a day I will never forget. Not to mention that she is just an overall great person.
The day of, I knew I could trust the personnel and I didn't have to worry or stress about a thing! Cheryl and Marilyn were so helpful and made the day flow seamlessly. All of my small details were set up just the way I wanted them without having to check that it was done correctly (And I know I am a control freak especially when it came to the little things I worked so hard on).
Everyone RAVED about the professional service, delicious food, and the beautiful spaces. The pergola was an amazing ceremony area, the updated cocktail room set the tone, and the ballroom took everyone's breath away. We chose a cocktail reception where we had stations of food set up instead of a sit-down or buffet. Everyone loved it and the food was hot, flavorful, and the stations looked clean and always full!
Added bonus: the hotel nearby has a shuttle that will (if you have enough rooms booked in your block) transport your guests from the hotel to the venue and back at the end of the night. With the amazing drinks the bartender made at the wedding, my guests were thankful to not have to worry about getting back to their rooms.
I cannot put into words how happy I am that we chose The Bradford Estate for our wedding day. I am thankful to everyone there who worked so hard to make our day memorable. We truly couldn't have asked for anything better.

Everyone at the Bradford Estate was there to help us in any way possible on the day of our wedding. They were willing to work with any little request that we had, from tying bows on chairs to draping organza across Shepard's hooks down the aisle. All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how nice the venue is. I would highly recommend The Bradford Estate to any couple looking to have a beautiful wedding with the help of great people!

The Bradford Estate was a dream come true. Not only is this venue beautiful and elegant, but they also provided amazing service and phenomenal food. My guests can’t stop talking about how great our wedding was. Many said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I also loved how they included so many things with the venue including center pieces, table numbers, linens, a card box, a cake stand, etc. We didn’t have to worry about purchasing all these little extra because they had them right there. They also only host one event at a time so we were the only guests that were there! Our wedding was in December and we planned a winter wonderland theme. The Bradford estate is simply stunning during this time of the year. They have beautiful decorations inside plus they decorate the outside with lots of lights. Our pictures are going to be gorgeous because we had so many choices for a beautiful backdrop. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of before the wedding and the day of. If I had any questions, I simply emailed Gabi (which I did quite a few times) and she got right back to me. She was very friendly and helpful! Also, Dawn was our attendant the day of the wedding. I never had to ask for anything. She made sure I was taken care of. John and the rest if the staff made us feel like family! First class service at a beautiful venue. I would highly recommend the Bradford Estate for having the wedding of your dreams!

The Bradford Estate was such a great venue! Corey was so attentive to our needs before, during, and after the wedding. As soon as we arrived they made sure we had everything we needed. They even came to us with trays of food while taking pictures during cocktail hour! Everyone always says don't expect to eat on your wedding day, but we actually were able to! All our guests enjoyed the food and had such a great time. I feel like the amount of money we paid was an injustice to the high level of quality and service that was given. I honestly would have not minded if we paid more. We looked at a few other venues and this is by far the best decision we could have made. What a great way to start our life together!

Wow, where to begin? The Bradford Estate was the second venue we looked at and we booked it right away. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. The entire team was very communicative throughout the entire planning process, always quick to answer my emails and questions. The day of our wedding, I truly felt like a princess and completely taken care of from start to finish. My bridesmaids and I got ready in their gorgeous bridal suite and had coffee, champagne and snacks throughout the day. Dee and Dawn were amazing and took such great care of us! Our ceremony was held outdoors in their garden area and it was private, beautiful and perfect. The entire staff was simply amazing. My husband and I and our parents had our own attendants who checked in with us to make sure we were happy and had everything we neeed the entire night. The manager even went out to buy new candles for our centerpieces since the ones I bought were too big for the lanterns. We were impressed the entire time with the professionalism and attention to service of the staff. The cocktail hour had so much food and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. What’s great is that everything is included in the package and you have options for stations and desserts. The venue itself is beautiful and has giant windows where you can see the state forest in the background. Our wedding day was simply perfect and we have no doubt is because we chose the Bradford Estate! So many guests said ours was the best wedding they’ve been to. Thank you so much to Gabi, John, Tabitha, Sarah and everyone who truly made this the best day of our lives.

The perfect setting, the perfect meal, the perfect cocktail hour and appetizers. The staff was most helpful from start to finish.

From start to finish The Bradford Estate was beyond amazing. Gabi and Beau were very helpful and guided us through every step leading up to our wedding. Every detail was perfect thanks to them. From our tasting to our actual wedding day they were right beside us holding our hands, encouraging us and giving us all the guidance we needed. Sara our Maitre d was fabulous on our wedding day. She kept me calm and fixed any problem that came her way. From our groomsmen who's pants split to my jr bridesmaid loosing her flower bouquet, Sara was on top of things. She was so kind and accommodating to us. The entire staff at the Bradford took extra steps to ensure that our day was perfect. I cannot rave enough about how great everything was and how everyone went far above and beyond to ensure our guests were happy and fed all night long and to make sure that we had the wedding of our dreams. If I had to do it again I would choose the Bradford for sure.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about The Bradford Estate. And there is no way to give justice to them without writing a long review so buckle up. But I will say, best venue ever and I don’t understand how it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I originally booked the venue because it was centrally located for most of my family and had great online reviews—but even those don’t begin to capture how incredible the experience was.

Because of distance, I wasn’t able to tour in person, so my mom visited while Rob walked me through on FaceTime. From the very beginning, Rob was an absolute gem. Throughout the planning process, both Rob and Kaylyn were amazing—always checking in, sending reminders, and making communication effortless. As the wedding day approached, they coordinated beautifully with all of my vendors, which gave me such peace of mind.

On the day itself, our maître d’ Mary Ann was phenomenal. From the moment I met her, she was on top of every detail, and on the wedding day she executed everything seamlessly. The entire Bradford staff made sure the day flowed perfectly, and my guests could not stop raving. I’ve had so many friends and family tell me it was one of the most organized, beautiful weddings they’ve ever attended, and they especially loved the staff.

And the food—wow. Everyone keeps telling me how incredible it was and how “endless” it seemed, especially during cocktail hour. There was SO much food (and a little of everything was packed for us at the end of the night to take home). As someone who didn’t hire a wedding planner, I was nervous early on, but with The Bradford, I truly didn’t need one. Every single piece of décor was set up exactly as I envisioned, and the staff made sure everything was perfect.

Lastly, I HAVE to compliment my bridal attendant Hannah. She was a dream come true - she captured behind the scenes photos, helped with the dress, made me laugh, helped my family, made sure I was eating and drinking through the day and just such a sweetheart. She was the cherry on top of an already perfect day.

Choosing The Bradford Estate was the best decision we made, and I would recommend it a thousand times over to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue.

From the door you will love this venue. The staff, the setting and food were all outstanding.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Bradford Estate in Hainesport, NJ. From start to finish, everything about our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

The outdoor ceremony area was breathtaking, with vibrant flowers surrounding the pergola and the elegant fountain, creating the most romantic and picturesque setting for our vows. It truly felt like something out of a fairytale.

The staff was beyond exceptional. They wouldn’t even let me lift a finger, every request was handled with grace, warmth, and professionalism. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the day seamless and stress-free. We felt so supported and cared for the entire time.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and drinks, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We also heard countless compliments about the gorgeous facility, from the grounds to the reception space. Everyone was impressed with how everything flowed and looked.

If you're considering this venue, don't hesitate, we would hands down recommend booking The Bradford Estate. It was the perfect place to begin our forever.

Exceptional service, wonderful food and a great price.

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!
