Branford House Mansion

Absolutely Beautiful!!

This is a GORGEOUS venue! If you aren't looking for a run-of-the-mill, wedding factory wedding, then this is your place! You get to bring everything in yourself to create your own dream wedding, not the wedding that the venue chooses for you, as is the case with your typical venue.

This venue lends itself towards a more intimate gathering, it is essentially like having a party at a large house, so you do need to be flexible regarding certain issues, such as seating arrangements, and a more go-with-the-flow type of atmosphere.

I wish I could do it all over again and again...I would not have changed a thing about my wedding at the Branford House!

Please do not look at my 4.6 rating as this place not being absolutely beautiful!! As soon as I told my husband (then fiance) that I wanted to get married on the water, he knew exactly where we would be married. I would not have chosen a different location for anything!!

There is one woman scheduling all the weddings, so sometimes she is a little difficult to get in touch with. But she worked with us, met with us, and answered all our many questions.

This is the best place to put together the wedding you want - you just have to be willing to put the pieces together yourself (or with a planner)! Not your typical wedding factory. This mansion is so gorgeous you don't even need that many flowers to enhance its natural beauty! I just went crazy with candles to create a beautiful glow :)

We had our wedding at Branford House in May and it was absolutely beautiful! We had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the water and an indoor reception. The inside of the mansion is beautiful and really doesn't need much additional decoration. We had so many complements from our guests! As other reviewers have mentioned, you rent the space and then bring in outside vendors. I liked this idea because we could customize the wedding to fit our style and didn't have to stick with only certain approved/favored vendors.

Was so please with this gorgeous back drop for my wedding and reception. Event Manager went above and beyond in helping me plan my wedding and in helping me find other vendors as well. Highly recommended!

The Branford House Mansion speaks for itself. All those that attended my wedding could not get over the mansion, the view and the grounds. We have nothing bad to say about the venue it was exactly what we always imagined our wedding to be like. I would warn people about responsiveness of those in charge of the mansion, just keep calling and leave messages. They take a while to get back to you and you have to keep on them about your vendors etc. Overall the place was magical.

The person in charge of booking is absolutely terrible with responding to messages. I almost didn't think I was going to get my selected date or if the wedding was actually going to happen because she NEVER answers e-mails or messages.
