The 21st Night of September
The venue itself is everything you might want of a Provençal estate but in the US. On top of that, the venue offers not only space to get ready, and have the ceremony and reception all in one place, but overnight stays. One of the biggest pluses for me was that there was a good rain backup plan (especially since I got married during Hurricane season).
The venue seems to be routinely making improvement to keep it up to date and gorgeous for couples. We elected to get married on the side lawn which was great because not only was the grass astroturf (therefore no heels were sinking while walking down the aisle) but theres a gorgeous fire place that can easily serve as an altar.
The Bradford also provides a list of recommended vendors that you can choose from (but aren't required to use) which was incredibly helpful with planning this wedding from afar.
I absolutely recommend this venue!
