Question

Parking

Answer

Parking is in the main lot, which is within a few hundred feet of entering the grounds. You will see a pay-to-park kiosk in the main parking lot, but no, there is no payment required! Please only use the Main House driveway for dropping off guests, if needed. The turnabout in the front of the house is not for long term parking. Overflow parking is on the left of the Main House driveway.

Venue "Rules"

Answer

1. The Bradley Estate is a historic building & we ask that everyone treats it as so! Please do not place items that create condensation on the wooden surfaces in the home. Coasters will be provided. 2. Our guests have access to the first floor of the home: the foyer, living room, library, dining room, and loggia patio, & the surrounding grounds all night. 3. PLEASE do not physically interact with any animals that may sneak over to the fence by the reception tent. They (unfortunately) are off limits! 4. Please do not move items or furniture within the house. Please ask the staff if you have any issues. 5. The piano is open to play, but not for holding drinks or plates!

Question

Bathrooms

Answer

There's a men's, women's, & family accessible bathroom on the first floor of the home. They're by the front door, down the hallway that is painted like a forrest!

Question

what should I wear?!

Answer

Figuring out what to wear is the worst, right?! We hope this helps! The venue is classy, outdoorsy & flowery, so if in doubt, aim for "garden formal.” (Yes, we Googled it, it’s a thing!) This category feels like the best description to fit our venue and time of year. Garden formal can be considered as practical but still sophisticated. Breathable fabrics, pastel shades, florals, but on the dressy side- you get the idea! We are not expecting three piece suits and evening gowns, but would love to see a classy crowd! The bridal party will be wearing deep-red dresses, and dark tuxes, so if darker colors are more your thing, go for it! We do suggest bringing a warm layer in case the September night gets chilly.

Question

Kids?

Answer

With the exception of our nieces and nephews, our invitations extend to parents only- no kids, sorry!

Question
