Bella Cosa

We recently celebrated our wedding at Bella Cosa on September 15, 2024, and it was truly a dream come true! The vintage Italian estate aesthetic is simply stunning, and the breathtaking views made for a magical backdrop for our special day. After viewing only one other venue, we knew right away that Bella Cosa was the one.
Leading up to our wedding, the planning process was seamless, and the staff was incredibly responsive to all our questions. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Our guests can't stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn't agree more!
The estate also offered lovely accommodations for us and some of our guests. The new honeymoon suite was absolutely perfect for my husband and I —such a romantic retreat!
All the vendors worked together flawlessly, creating the wedding of our dreams. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Bella Cosa, for making our day unforgettable! We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host their wedding in a truly magical setting.

Literally the wedding venue of our dreams! It has such a beautiful, italian villa rustic romantic charm. Minimal decor is needed because the venue speaks for itself. All of our guests were raving about the vibe of the venue.
We loved how it has multiple spaces that we could utilize throughout our ceremony and reception. The overnight guest suites for the bride & groom and selected guests are really convenient. The coordination team at the venue were so helpful throughout our planning process & all of their recommended vendors are great! The day of venue staff handles everything smoothly on the venue side and is helpful to other vendors. Knowing we had this venue helped everything else for our day to fall into place and let us have a perfect wedding!

SJ Events is lucky to work at Bella Cosa often and proud to be one of their preferred vendors. The space is absolutely breathtaking and creates the perfect backdrop for any wedding. What truly stands out, though, is their incredible team— from the helpful ladies in the office, to the staff who expertly set up the floor plan and maintain the grounds, all the way to the dedicated night crew. Everyone is supportive, professional, and truly committed to making every event flawless. Highly recommend!

We absolutely adored this venue was not only beautiful, but everyone was so professional throughout the process and very hands-on. All of our questions were answered, and we were left with lots of certainty of the day going perfectly! The day did go perfectly and we would absolutely recommend doing a wedding at the Bella Cosa!

Our wedding at Bella Cosa was nothing short of magical — truly the day of our dreams brought to life in the most beautiful way. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking landscaping, the meticulous attention to detail, and the exceptional team who made everything feel effortless. Every inch of the property felt like it was made for us, and the atmosphere was pure romance.

But what truly set Bella Cosa apart — and what I’ll be forever grateful for — were Shelby and Lori. These two women were absolute angels throughout the entire planning process and on our big day. Attentive, compassionate, communicative, and endlessly kind, they became the rock I leaned on, the calm in the chaos, and the guiding hands that made everything come together perfectly. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them.

Shelby and Lori didn’t just help coordinate a wedding — they helped create memories that will live in our hearts forever. Thanks to them and the entire Bella Cosa team, our wedding wasn’t just an event — it was a flawless, joy-filled celebration that exceeded every expectation.

If you’re dreaming of a picture-perfect wedding with a team that truly cares, look no further than Bella Cosa. It was everything I hoped for, and so much more.

From the moment we stepped onto the Bella Cosa property, we knew it was something special. The planning process was smooth and stress-free, and our wedding turned out to be everything we dreamed of. The lakefront setting, historic charm, and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to say “I do.”

Huge thanks to Brittany, our amazing wedding consultant, for guiding us through it all—we couldn’t have done it without her and our planner.

What truly set Bella Cosa apart was the feeling it gave us. From exchanging private vows under the oak trees, to our bubble exit surrounded by loved ones, to ending the night in the upstairs suites eating pizza and laughing with friends and family—it was pure magic. Being able to stay on-site that night made everything even better.

For any couple looking for a venue that blends natural beauty, rich character, and genuine hospitality, Bella Cosa brings wedding dreams to life.

I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue and magical evening. The staff was amazing and there was not a single thing that went wrong that day. Thank you so much for helping make my daughters wedding a magical one !!

We had our wedding at Bella Cosa. As soon as we did a tour, I knew that it was going to be our wedding venue. The old estate/Italian building feel and it being right on the lake, was perfect for what I wanted for our wedding. They offered payment plans, let you choose your vendors, and provided chairs and tables. The building and grounds are beyond beautiful- there’s so many places to take pictures and you barely need décor as it is already picture perfect. Our guests gushed over how they had never been to a wedding at such a spectacular venue. It was awesome they included the 11 rooms and Honeymoon Suite upstairs for us on the night of the wedding and was included in the venue pricing. It was great walking upstairs and continuing the party with our parents and bridal party. I still can’t get over how beautiful Bella Cosa is, and how lucky we were to be able to have our wedding there. You have to get married here, you won’t regret it!

I'm getting married at Bella Cosa in March, and have been nothing but impressed with the team there! Whenever I have a question, they answer within 24 hours. I also booked their in-house catering/bar company which is really well priced - I was shocked! The grounds are also fabulous -- there's nothing like it in all of Florida. I highly recommend you book with Bella Cosa. They will take care of you from the moment you come to tour, through the planning process, and the day. Can't say enough about this team!

When we first started looking at wedding venues I'd told my now-husband that I wasn't into the rustic vibe. When he first suggested touring Bella Cosa I was a little bit skeptical - but by the end of the tour I knew it was the place for us. It's just such a beautiful and elegant venue and there's so many different rooms and spots that make this place shine. Prospective brides, PLEASE do yourselves a favor and use as much of the venue space as you can, don't just limit yourself to the lawn or dining hall!

We've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the spot was and I wouldn't dream of having done our wedding anywhere else.

The staff was so helpful and supportive and answered so many late-night questions from me with professionalism and promptness (and I had a lot of burning Sunday-at-2am questions -- sorry guys!). Right down to having a plan B in case of bad weather and a very clear decision making process that outlined when and how to make that call, though fortunately we evaded the rain by just a few hours.

The space is incredible and the staff is amazing. Thank you. I can't wait to get the rest of our photos back.
