How a Bradstreet Farm Wedding is More Cost Effective Than You Think!

UPDATE 1.18.22- this useful blog is such a great resource for our clients that I decided to update it a bit for the booking season and add in a few more resources!

Happy Planning!

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:

• Ceremony fees- already included!
• Use of our 2 brand new getting ready suites right here on property to use before your wedding to get ready! Save money on transportation since you will already be here at the venue! 
• Set up/breakdown- included! 
• All of the event spaces to use for ceremony, cocktail hour & reception! 
• Bradstreet Team to run your day so you get to be a guest at your own wedding! 
• We only host one wedding or event a day so our attention is 100% focused on you! We take care of the details, so you can enjoy your wedding! 
• 2 Bartenders and the bar set up fees- all included! 
• All of the in house tables, chairs, linens available!
• Farm Tables- yes real wooden farm tables to use- all included!
• All of the decor we own- lanterns, votives, table numbers, easels and so much more!
• Fees, taxes, staffing gratuity associated with the venue - already included! 
• You may see an 18-22% administrative fee on top of some venue rental fees at other venue friends around- that is all included here!
• And so much more! 

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! We see a range of $20- $40 per person on delivery day for the per person pricing for the bar. So since what ever is not used is returned to the stores- the number actually ends up being lower! 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 $100-$160 ALL IN for catering- we find out pricing to be really cost effective! Catering pricing includes everything needed for the catering: 

• Staffing- service fees, gratuities, etc. 
• Plates, silverware, glassware
• Set up, breakdown
• Custom Menu Design- accounting for any dietary restrictions and allergies! 
• Service style choice of plated or buffet! 
• All the yummy food for you and your guests to enjoy from cocktail hour appetizers to late night snacks! 

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'.
