 I have yet to work with a couple who has not have a budget that they are trying to stay within. It is smart to have an idea of what you want to spend on your wedding and work hard to stay within that number! It just makes sense.
We always knew we wanted our pricing to be transparent and easy to understand. That is exactly why we designed our pricing the way we did- we truly are for the budget conscious client who also wants to have an amazing, beautiful day! Our venue rental pricing includes alot of things that are additional fees at other venues:
We do NOT have food or beverage minimum spends or minimum guest counts! Bar- really cost effective! We only allow for an open bar here, we can not have any monies exchanging hands here on your wedding day. DON'T worry though- we have a really fun, cost effective program for the bar. You work with our friends over at Kappy's On- Call to order everything for your bar. You are paying liquor store pricing and only paying for what you use. Kappy's will deliver your order the day of your wedding and come back after to pick up whatever is unopened and can be resold at one of their stores! BIG Savings! Don't worry - we will help you with your order so no need to figure out how much to get! If you have extra, its ok! It just takes a field trip to Bradstreet and can go right back to Kappy's and you will not pay for it. Catering- Chef Ryan Costigan of Woodland Catering will work with you on pricing, style, menu and budget. With the range of catering here between $90-$150 ALL IN for catering- we find out pricing to be really cost effective! Catering pricing includes everything needed for the catering:
Decor- The venue is always decorated in a very tasteful, neutral fashion with lots of planters full for greenery and flowers, beautiful sheers hanging on one of large barn doors, twinkle lights along the beams in the reception space and all of this and more is included! Save some money and use our lanterns and votives as part of your table decor and around the venue! Save money and use our table numbers instead of buying your own! Trust me, if we buy it for the venue- it is beautiful and will compliment the space! When you take a minute to look over how our pricing works, you will find that we are much more inclusive AND cost effective than most people think! You get a lot of flexibility and creativity when it comes to the food and beverage too all without the big pricetag! The venue rental includes a lot of things - but not any surprises! Making things easier in the long run. :) Our clients are always telling us that with the way we do our pricing for the venue rental, bar and catering- they are able to not only stay within their budget but save money and put it towards a few things they were not sure they could afford! And hey- wouldn't it be nice to keep some money in your pocket for a fun honeymoon or house?!? Just sayin'. Email me at Tiffany@BradstreetFarm.com to learn more! Talk soon, ~Tiffany Tiffany Learned | The Barn at Bradstreet Farm rowley massachusetts 01969 978-380-8156 www.BradstreetFarm.com Hours: Mondays we are closed.

Imagine walking into your wedding for the first time and seeing it all set up- how beautiful (and easy!) that will be! That is what it is like to have your wedding here at Bradstreet Farm. We want you and your wedding party, parents and friends to all be a guest at your wedding! We have all been involved in a wedding where you have to work on the wedding day and it takes the fun out of it. That is not how things are done here at Bradstreet Farm. We let you fully enjoy the day like a guest! Right from Day 1 when you book your wedding here at Bradstreet Farm, we start putting together you day-of details so we can run your wedding day for you! As your planning details come together, we keep updating your wedding day file so that when we meet at your Final Meetings a month prior to your wedding, we are just crossing the t's and dotting the i's- we have the blue print to successfully run your wedding day for you! This way you (and your family and friends) can truly be a guest at your own wedding! What an idea, right?!?
We make weddings easy. We take the stress away so you can enjoy your day! That is the Bradstreet way.  Tiffany even helps little flower girls who want to fly up the stairs instead of walk! We really do it all! :) Talk soon,
~Tiffany Tiffany Learned | The Barn at Bradstreet Farm rowley massachusetts 01969 978-380-8156 www.BradstreetFarm.com Each week we will be posting a blog on various topics from our catering partner, Woodland Catering!  A note from Woodland Catering looking forward to the 2021 Wedding & Event Season! It’s 2021. From the perspective of a small business owner, the last 12-months have been a steady railway ride down into the abyss of uncertainty. That is not to say that it was a waste of a year or even that it was all negative. It was the uncertainty that was anxiety inducing but the hard times can be building blocks on which we construct the success of our future. We were lucky enough to be able to pivot our business focus and continue to create revenue even as our event schedule slowly but steadily vanished before our eyes. I wouldn’t wish a repeat of 2020 on anyone, business owner or not, but I also know that my business will be better and stronger because of it. We are the sum of all of our experiences and often we grow more from the bad than from the good. All of us are smart enough to understand that the circumstances of our lives will not change simply because our arbitrary calendar changes over from one year to the next. The success or failure of the past 12 months of our lives are dependent on our own actions and circumstances and have nothing to do with the number on the calendar. All of that being said, I welcome the cross over into 2021 as a mental delineation signalling a season of change. With the vaccine upon us, but still months away from being administered to the masses, uncertainty still hovers over us. We have spent much of our time over the last months determining how we can adapt to our new normal. It is our goal to provide for our clients the same experience we promised them. While in some cases things may look slightly different, we are committed to going above and beyond what would typically be required of us to ensure that, for at least one day, we can lift the clouds of the anxiety we have been living with and immerse our clients and their guests in the sunshine of an experience they will never forget. In a more practical sense, there is much we are doing to provide minimum interference with the plans we have set forth while still maintaining adherence to the guidelines. It is almost a certainty that part of our wedding season will occur with state Covid guidelines in place. Limits on guest counts and guests interaction, under certain circumstances, will be a concern. The ability for guests to self serve any food or beverage will be in jeopardy. We have developed service techniques and overall event flow to allow for our client’s guests to receive the same experience they expect without knowing that any changes have even been made. We are fully staffing all buffets, stations, bars, and hors d’oeuvre displays. We have increased table service to limit the congregation of guests at service areas. Our servers and managers are trained in gently moving the flow of guests in certain directions to encourage social distancing and the use of outdoor or more ventilated space. Our extremely close relationship with the staff at the Barn at Bradstreet Farm allows for integrated planning and fully cooperative focus on event days. Masks will continue to be a staple of service and kitchen employees for the foreseeable future and our kitchen staff have been Covid certified in food handling. While we are a food service operation, what we really provide our guests is peace-of-mind at a time that can be anxiety ridden if not handled properly. We endeavor to continue to remove stress and worry from our client’s lives and allow them to fully experience a very important moment in their life so that they can create the memories that we all look back on fondly. Our tactics have evolved, our mission has not. Ryan Costigan Chef/Owner Woodland Catering ryan@woodlandcatering.com www.WoodlandCatering.com 978-662-1192   Photo by our friend & amazingly talented Molly Quill Photography Did you recently say yes to marrying your best friend?!? Congratulations!! Raise your hand if you are ready to have something to celebrate- I know we are! Pop the champagne, post a picture on social media and celebrate! This is exciting! Next step- plan the wedding! Some of you have been dreaming of this since you were little but for others this is foreign territory. It's ok. We are here to help! (Have I ever mentioned that I owned a wedding & event planning business for a LONG time before opening Bradstreet Farm?! Yes, so I have a lots of knowledge in this subject. More on that later) But for now, let's talk about how to plan a wedding in this new world we are living in. Wedding planning right now for the most part is the same as it always has been and always will be- find the person, then the place where you want to say I do and pick a date! Voila! Easy enough, right? Pretty much! Well, may be a bit harder to find the place and the date right now so I thought I would write a quick blog to help you understand what is going on and get a game plan going to help you find your dream wedding venue! This is full of great ideas so stay with me. Here is what is going on in the wedding world right now...
So, when you talk to a venue and they tell you they don't have a lot of dates left - they are not trying to be pushy and salesy- legit dates are moving QUICK! Like Cabbage Patch Dolls at Christmas in the 80's- QUICK. So what do you do? How do you make a decision about a venue without feeling rushed and overwhelmed? Here are my tips to help ease the stress, keep you organized and help you find your dream wedding venue!
I know it seems fast but once you have toured, you may need to make a decision quickly if you have a specific time of year in mind. Today alone we booked 4 weddings and it is only 5pm. We only host 1 wedding or event a day and are closed over the winter, so that is a lot of us in one day to book! That is just how fast dates are being scooped up. But here is the silver lining to booking a venue and a date quickly- you have your wedding venue!! YAY!! You will need to book your vendors sooner than later right after you secure your venue but if you work with a venue like ours that have vendors who are guaranteed to be available on your day ( email me to find out how that coolness happens), you can book the others and then take a break for a minute before securing the rest! Our 2022 clients can really take a breath after they secure their vendors and enjoy the engagement too! Have I told you yet that you are actually supposed to enjoy the engagement too?? For real, you are! So take this advice, follow what I say and you just might find yourself enjoying everything about this whole wedding planning process! This is the fun stuff guys, I promise! Enjoy it! Thanks for reading and hope this helps! xx Cheers! ~Tiffany J. Learned Guardian of the Venue as one of our 2019 clients called me.
