July Wedding

Bella Collina is the perfect spot for both wedding and reception. Our outside ceremony was beautiful. The service was amazing. Karen and Mia were very helpful and got right back to us with any questions or concerns. Everything was upfront and there were no hidden cost. The view thru the windows during the reception was beautiful.

Best wedding venue!!!

We had our wedding at Bella Collina on 5/21/2022 and it was so BEAUTIFUL! I highly recommend using Bella Collina as your wedding venue. Karen and Mia are so friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative. They made the wedding planning process so smooth. The food was absolutely delicious! You even get a wedding food tasting, which is so fun! The bartender Frankie made awesome drinks and they have such a great selection of alcohol. My guests were so happy with the food and drinks. The venue itself is absolutely STUNNING. The ceremony space outside is so beautiful not to mention all of the beautiful locations around the golf course where you can take photos with your new husband. The ball room is beautiful and the perfect space for dinner and dancing. You have access to the ball room, the board room, and the cocktail room. We made use of all three! The staff are so professional and provide awesome service. Book Bella Collina now for your wedding venue!!

The Venue That Has It All!

When my daughter originally was looking for a wedding venue, she mentioned "a winery in Temecula." Given that we live in N.OC and most guests would be flying in, I didn't think it would be logistically fair for all the guests to have to travel inland after flying into CA. So, I ended up finding Bella Collina in San Clemente which was easy to travel to and had that "winery feel" for pictures and atmosphere. We couldn't have been happier. Planning a wedding during what became a global pandemic and with a military couple living 3000 miles away from the venue could have been a logistical disaster, but Bella Collina pivoted gracefully along the way with us. This venue is vast and absolutely lovely in so many ways. You never share the venue with other weddings; so you get to access all the rooms, natural beauty and whimsy it offers. The staff was professional and caring. I felt the price was reasonable considering what all we received. We didn't have to bicker over chairs, plates, forks etc as all the venue items were included. They also worked well with all of our vendors. It was seamless. We chose to hire our own "day of coordinator" but they have one to hire as well. NOTE: I also highly suggest you book TOP SHELF PHOTO (Shaun Hagen) as he knows this venue completely and your photos will be amazing.

Karen and staff at the Bella Collina Golf Club are very professional and attentive to your needs on your Big Day. The venue itself is one of my favorites to pickup Brides and Grooms, in our 1939 American Rolls Royce Packards for their takeaways. The venue has amazing views, its spacious, and no real sound restrictions. One of San Clementes' best kept secrets for weddings, special events, and golf ! Remember to mention the Special Venue discount on the Classic Takeaway, when booking the venue at Bella Collina Golf Club for your Special Day!
