Vendor Review

I am a wedding planner and I had the pleasure of working with Bella Sala this weekend for a wedding. The staff was wonderful and courteous. They are very responsive and flexible. The wedding ran ahead of time, and they were very flexible with us changing the timing of things. The space is huge and gorgeous! Definitely check out the bridal suite and the waterfall terrace!

Perfect wedding atmosphere.

My fiancé and I were instantly impressed the moment we walked in the door. We found the entry way extremely elegant and warm. We also loved the place that we chose for our wedding reception. Plenty of room for tables and a dance floor. Overall, our experience was exceptional.
