I promise you - you'll be surprised when you check out this venue. You'd never know such an amazingly beautiful and perfect venue was right there on Rt 18 in East Bridgewater. You probably drove by it 1000 times and never knew. Miraval Gardens is stunning. It's new. It's clean. The reception room has a sweeping glass wall overlooking pristine gardens in the back. The landscaping is off the charts. There's a little pond with a fountain bordered by a gazebo and small connecting bridge. The ceremony spot is up a slight rise in the back with a gorgeous winding pathway. It's stunning really.

Ceremony

Miraval Garden's outdoor ceremony location is a perfectly manicured pristine location that's flat, easily accessible and surrounded by tall trees blocking the sun for perfect lighting year round. With a permanent pergola structure it looks amazing as is, or can be spruced up with your own decorative tastes to further customize your wedding. Rain? No worries, they simply move it into the reception room facing the fireplace with the wall of windows just to your left. Either way, your guests will be blown away!

Miraval Gardens

What if it rains?

The indoor ceremony is stunning. It's facing the fireplace with the wall of windows on the left. We can do all the family and wedding party pics there as well. Those gardens though. . . they're the whole point of the property. At some point before we lose light we'll look for the opportunity to head out and hope to not get too wet. Grab and umbrella or embrace the rain and we can still get a ton of amazing pictures. I've never had a wedding here get completley washed out. There's always a break. Maybe it's during dinner, maybe it's when the dancle floor opens, but we can always find a few minutes to grab them.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater a great place to get married?

You'd never know it's there. Let's be real, you drove by it a million times and never knew it was there, right? I mean, right off Rt 18 they have THOSE kind of gardens? It's a hidden gem. It's stunning.

2. Where are the best places for wedding photos at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

That ENTIRE back area is meticulously manicured by the original owner Frank - even though he sold it to Wedgewood. He cares that much. It's that important. It's just perfect, really.

3. What's the best time of day for portraits at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

Family and wedding party pictures would typically occur either immedaitely following "First Look" or direclty after the ceremony during cocktail hour unless you built in a gap between a church ceremony and arriving on property.

Regardless, at some point just before or near sunset I'll take just the two of you outside again for those soft-light intimate shots. It should only take like 10 minutes but these are the shots you hire me for. These are the jaw-dropping, tier enducing, OMG shots.

4. Is a first look a good idea at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

Absolutely! The first look gives you a chance to truly see each other. Express your thoughts. BE together for a moment - away from everyone else. Now you get to enjoy your own cocktail hour. Now it's not such a whirlwind. You're not as rushed, so less anxiety. Totally worth considering.

For the traditional "I want to see her coming down the aisle", let me give some perspective. First, when she gets there you need to just shut up and get married. You can't stop and talk. At a first look you can. Second, that heart-fluttering HOLY CRAP feeling when all your guests stand and you realize this is real, this is happening! That feeling doesn't go away just because you already saw each other. It actually may be enhanced.

5. What happens if it rains on your wedding day at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

In all my years, I've only had maybe a handful of weddings that were 100% completely washed out. It's so rare it's not worth discussing. Yeah, maybe the ceremony gets moved indoors. Maybe the family and wedding party pics are on the dance floor but there will almost certainly be an opportunity between drops to run outside for a few pics of the two of you.

Btw, that entire wall of windows looking out towards the gardens can make for a perfect backdrop if it's pouring rain ouside.

6. How much time should we set aside for wedding photos?

I typically like an hour, but I'm SUPER efficient. It really comes down to how large your group is. How many in the wedding party? How big is your family? Are there divorces with step family? Are there grandparents? Do you want to include aunts, uncles, cousins? The smaller the group the easier it is obviously.

7. Can we stay on schedule without feeling rushed?

This is my super power. You could be WAY behind schedule, then it comes time for the family and wedding party pics and poof, you're back on schedule. I can be amazingly efficient to power through all those combinations so you can lower the anxiety and not lose any of your wedding.

Plus, honestly, Loon couples don't seem to worry about timelines as much. They tend to be down-to-earth and not super Type A. Just relax, enjoy the day and it is what it is. I'll be sure to get amazing pictures, so no worries.

8. What's your favorite photo location at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

By that gazbo thing out back, it's got a great look with the little bridge connector and the fountain.

9. Have you photographed weddings at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater before?

I wouldn't be talking about it otherwise - absolutely. There's a benefit to knowing the flow of things. Where you're allowed to go and where's off-limits. Knowing where the shadows will fall and knowing what will be in bloom. Even just knowing how the staff approaches the day and their personalities. It all helps make the entire day run smoothly for you. There's an unspoken "nod and wink" between me and the day-of coordinator keeping everything perfect so you get the most out of the day.

10. What should couples know before getting married at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater?

There are ZERO red flags at this venue. If I were getting married, I'd probably choose this property. When my daughters get to that stage of life I'll probably recommend it. Search my site, this is the only venue I've said that about so far.

11. How many guests does Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater work best for?

It can fit anything really. Totally scalable for big or small. No worries. Get to over 200 and maybe it's tight but those are rare.

12. Is Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater good for indoor and outdoor weddings?

The indoor ceremony setup is beautiful. Obviously the gardens are a strength for the property and we'll try to use them if at all possible, but the inside is really really nice.

13. Where do you usually take family photos?

Just out back, off to the left of the patio with the fountain and gazebo as the backdrop. It's gorgeous and unique.

14. Is sunset really worth stepping away from the reception?

Only for the soft light and romantic shots I can get at that time of day. The sun sets behind the trees so you're not getting a sunset photo but I promise, the shots you love most are taken in that timeframe.

15. What makes photographing weddings at Miraval Gardens in East Bridgewater unique?

It's easy. Anywhere you turn is a great shot. I don't have to think. From the couples perspective it's convenient. HUGE bridal suite easily accessible all night, delicious food, it's just kinda perfect honestly.
