About this venue

Once a colonial farmstead known as Cherry Hill Farm, the Bradley Estate was transformed in 1902 into a classic country estate. Dr. Arthur Tracey Cabot hired noted Architect Charles Platt to design a great house, landscaped grounds, and a complex of farm and estate buildings. Platt adorned the lovely natural setting with manicured lawns, a walled garden, and a brick-edged parterre garden. In 1945, Cabot's niece Eleanor Cabot Bradley acquired Cherry Hill Farm and lived there with her husband until its bequest to The Trustees of Reservations in 1991. Mrs. Bradley made some notable additions to the property, including a greenhouse and a studio. Today, the Bradley Estate is open to the public and the house and grounds host special occasions for both private and corporate clients.


Our event spaces

Ceremonies

Stroll through elegant gardens complementing a stately country house, then explore surrounding fields, pastures, and woodlands that echo the property’s agricultural past.

The Bradley Estate is an ideal location for a wedding ceremony, and most couples exchange their vows on-site before their receptions. The formal parterre garden surrounds a manicured lawn, which makes for 360 degrees of beautiful backdrops for photographs. The low brick wall surrounding the garden adds a beautiful touch, and the water fountain makes for a serene setting.
