The Bradley Estate — Attraction in Canton

Where to even begin- I wish we could get married at The Bradley Estate a million times over! We held our dream wedding there for 130 guests after planning it with Jessica Belanger from Fireside Catering for about 18 months.

The Venue: Unbelievably beautiful, words barely do it justice. I know Jessica doesn’t control the weather, but the sun came out just in time for our ceremony and was so so magical. The rain plan (ceremony under the tent) would have been beautiful too! We felt extremely at ease knowing that there was a backup plan in case of unpredictable New England weather. It was also very helpful that we could go to the property anytime because it’s open to the public! We spent a lot of walkthroughs dreaming about our day there. The bridal suite inside the house was the perfect place to watch guests arrive from, and it was an added bonus to have a large private bathroom to use all evening. We opted to start our ceremony 30 minutes early at 4:30 and are very happy we did.

The Food: I’ll just put it in the words of one of my friends who texted the day after the wedding, “the mashed potatoes sent me to the stratosphere.” The food was AMAZING! From the lobster rolls, truffle fries, and mini fried chicken sandwich hors d’oeuvres to the NY Strip and aforementioned mashed potatoes for dinner. We and our guests were blown away! It was delicious. Very minor thing- our cutting cake was almost rock solid when we went to cut it, it probably needed to be taken out of the refrigerator sooner. But it tasted great and our struggle to cut it resulted in cute pictures.

The Planning & The People: Fireside Catering was absolutely fantastic to work with. Jessica felt like a perfect personality match for me, which was great because I (the bride) was the primary wedding planner. I just so appreciated how realistic she was when she gave answers and advice (a small example of many: she strongly urged me to not worry about paying for/getting mason jars for guests to take flowers home in at the end of the night. And she was right, it was totally fine without them.). Several guests remarked that all of the staff working at our wedding were so kind and attentive and we experienced the same. On a separate note, I would encourage other couples hosting their wedding at the Bradley Estate to not be afraid to go off of the recommended vendors list. All of our vendors except one were NOT pre-approved, but the process for getting them approved was extremely painless and simple.

All in all, we could not be more happy with our experience at The Bradley Estate. We’re so thankful for everyone who made our...

Effortless, elegant and enjoyable, that is how I would describe our Baby Shower Brunch event at The Bradley Estate. We had the pleasure of dealing with Nicola Hrubec, she was a joy to work with, friendly and kind. She helped coordinate with our caterer, Malone Catering of Stoughton, who were also wonderful! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Plus, the Bradley Estate is so incredibly beautiful, we simply used stunning flower arrangements from Mugford’s Flower Shoppe in Westborough for decorations! Our guests are still talking about what a lovely event is was. Thank you Nicola! Sincerely P. Fenn of Barre & C. Fleming of Medford, aka...

Beautiful estate and grounds! However, I hosted by wedding here and found the estate coordinator from Fireside Catering, Jessica, extremely difficult to work with. She was often non-responsive, provided misinformation (which ended up costing us more money), misplaced our items, and was difficult to coordinate with, causing a lot of unnecessary stress throughout the year leading up to the wedding. That being said, the food from Fireside was great! The estate itself has very strict rules as far as décor, event timing etc. so it's something to keep in mind when...
