- KKodyn Brown23/04/2024The venue itself is breathtakingThe venue itself is breathtakingMy wife and I got married at Bridgewater estate in late February 2024! From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism from Tracey and Justin. The venue itself is breathtaking - we opted for a forest ceremony, which was perfect - it photographed beautifully but was intimate, spacious and well equipped for ambient, entrance and exit music. We then moved to the reception area, which was excellent too -our guests were stuffed, they loved the food...My wife and I got married at Bridgewater estate in late February 2024!
