Testimonial
9/30/2024
The Bridges at Beresford was a beautiful place to have our wedding reception and dance! They were very kind to work with. They let us decorate the day before the wedding and clean up the day after. They were also very accommodating to what we needed! We would definitely recommend this venue for another couple!
