Real Raleigh Spring Weddings: The Bradford

The Bradford is a fairly new local wedding venue located right outside of Raleigh’s city limits. Owned and operated by Courtney Hopper and Dana Kadwell, the Bradford is nestled on 12 beautiful acres in the pretty little town of New Hill. This gorgeous venue features a glamorous main house with open floor plans and spacious rooms, terrace, ballroom, and gardens. It can even accommodate any bride’s overnight needs as well.

We recently had the honor of catering Devin and Taylor’s spring wedding at the Bradford and wanted to share some of the highlights below.

The long and dramatic entrance leading to the main house is elegant and looks so pretty centered between all the flowering Bradford pear trees.

The Bradford’s terrace is the perfect outdoor space for a spring wedding reception. Capital Events provided the giant clear tent in case the weather wasn’t cooperating.

Mews Floral Designs also did a fantastic job with these beautiful center pieces.

There is even space for a full service bar snuggled between the main house and the ballroom area.

During cocktail hour, the guests enjoyed many hors d’Oeuvres featuring imported and domestic cheeses, fresh fruits, and an assortment of gourmet crackers. We also served grilled Tuscan, pita, and focaccia breads with hummus, olivada, and tomato basil spreads.

For dinner, everyone was treated to this beautiful spring salad of romaine, fresh strawberries, feta cheese, and candied walnuts finished with our balsamic vinaigrette. Also on the menu was garlic mashed potatoes, a colorful medley of sauteed vegetables, thyme salmon in white wine, and chicken breast stuffed with bacon and Gouda in a pesto cream sauce.
