Have you “heard” me say that I love our venue? Yeah, well, if you haven’t. I LOVE my venue.
Like, seriously, if I could live there I would.

The day before Thanksgiving, Mister Mr. and I both were fortunate to get off extra early from work and decided to go out on a spontaneous date! While out, I gave our venue a call to see if it would be possible to get inside to take pictures (for my planning logistics) and, being the wonderfully wonderful venue they are, they said yes!

It’s been close to a year since I’ve been inside and the two times I had been in there someone was setting up for an event (my timing always sucks); so this would be our first time seeing the building bare and we were both excited!

Here are some pictures of our date/venue stalking:

The owners, the sweet Mr. Bradley & his son, let us in and allowed us to stay as long as we wanted! This is the general area! It’s SO spacious!

Look at that natural light! Love it!

We are planning of putting our sweetheart table in front of the center doors, which will allow guests to exit on either side or the other side exit. It will be prime-time seating-closest to the DJ, Bar, Cake and Food. Don’t judge us!

Don’t mind Mister. Mr’s shiny New Balances! lol

One thing that we both loved about our venue was the state-of-the-art, spacious kitchen! Our caterer is already familiar with the kitchen & we’re excited to see her in action on the big day!

The bridal suite is a cute little room that has a small wicker love seat, a floor-length mirror, a spacious closet and a pretty little make-up mirror to get ready at.


The walk down the aisle. Awww…

I love this view of the building. I plan on lining the steps with either candle-filled paper bags or mason-jar like jars with candles.


Our cocktail hour will take place on the lawn and porch area. We’re excited about it, too! We’ll have a few high-boys (high-top tables) on the lawn (probably draped in damask fabric w/ turquoise ribbon) and some smaller tables on the porch for people to sit at. We’ll also have some lounge couches sprawled out on the porch &…*gasp* Corn hole on the side. So excited!

Decorating the pergola should be a fun project! :) It’s a total DIY project & I’ll be purchasing the fabric soon!

The wrap-around porch is one of my favorite features of the venue. So southern.

And here’s the “private” lounge area, where we’ll have a damask backdrop and a love seat. During the cocktail hour, the bar won’t be far from here so it’ll be great placement to get people talking! :)

When Mister Mr. and I left our venue stalking, we both smiled & said we didn’t even want to leave. *sigh* Is it possible to fall in love with a venue? If so, I think I’ve tripped, dipped and fallen head over heels for Bradley’s Pond!
