From the moment we arrived to check out Bradleys Gardens, Melana helped us feel so at ease with all things wedding planning. From helping us find local vendors, to looking at bridal party accommodation with local B&B's, every detail was effortlessly taken care of.Melana is an absolute dream to work with. She made the entire process seamless and ensured all our vendors who we brought from Taranaki feel completely at ease as well. Her calm professionalism and genuine warmth set the tone for the whole event.On the day, all the Bradleys Gardens staff were exceptional, you think of something, and it simply gets done, often done before we even realised we needed it. They move quietly in the background, clearing and tidying without ever interrupting the flow of the day.Our guests are still raving about the stunning gardens, being an absolute highlight, and the perfect backdrop to our special day. We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our wonderful wedding weekend at. It truly exceeded every expectation for ourselves and our guests! We can't thank Melana and her team enough for making our wedding the most stress free and most exceptional event it could possibly be
