Supreme Service

Where to even begin with Bella Sera.. to start off when you walk through the door the building is beautiful from the rod iron stair cases to the amount of detail that has been put into making this building the building of every brides dreams, there isn't a single detail missed. Secondly i would like to mention how accommodating and thoughtful the staff is, from the very first meeting to the very last ever person i met with listened to exactly what my vision for my wedding and made it come to life. John the owner of Bella Sera was extremely understanding and flexible about payment arrangements and budget and they honestly have a package for every persons budget. Austin who was my event manager was incredible and so so helpful, always taking time to respond to emails, texts and phone calls right away and answering any questions that came up right away. They came to me to make decisions and then did all the work to make it happen down to every last detail including allowing me to bring in additional decor that wasn't included in my package and setting it all up for me. it was completely stress free time leading up to the wedding and i never had to wonder what was going on because the communication was so awesome. When it was time for the big day again they did not disappoint. Austin was by my side the whole day and made everything go according to plan.. he was so helpful he even helped me switch into to tennis shoes halfway through the night and packed me a to go plate from our chocolate fountain because the night was so busy i didn't get a chance to grab anything. I can not say enough good things about him. He is great at what he does. Id also like to mention the photographer, Andrea, Once again she was awesome capturing beautiful photos from our engagement pictures all the way up until our big day and our sparkler send off which she was willing to shoot twice so we could get some photos that included our two kiddos. She was professional talented and we will be continuing to use her as our family photographer in the future. The food was amazing, the dj was amazing, the bartender was amazing and everyone catered to exactly what we needed and gave us a completely stress free wedding of our dreams. I cannot recommend them enough. Our only complaint is that its over and we don't get to do it again. If you're getting married in Colorado go with the Bella Sera event center. I promise you wont be disappointed

Wedding of our dreams

I cannot express enough how incredible our experience was at The Bella Sera. From the moment we first visited, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for our entire wedding journey. The all-inclusive “Italiano” package truly took a the stress out of planning, allowing us to focus on what mattered most—celebrating our love with our family and friends.

The entire team - Payten, Annicia, and owners Elisabeth and John went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we could never have imagined. The décor was stunning, the food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable.
Our guests are still raving about how stunning everything was! They’ve told us it was the most fun and exquisite wedding they’ve ever attended.

What stood out the most was the genuine care and attention from the staff. They made us feel like we were the only couple that mattered, and their enthusiasm for making our day special was evident. Every aspect of our wedding day was executed flawlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.

Thanks to Bella Sera- our wedding was the happiest day of our lives. We are so grateful for all the effort and dedication that went into making our celebration unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free and magical wedding experience!

Venue With Heart!

We had our wedding here this last July and it was everything we hoped it would be. The whole planning process was a breeze with this team. What you get for your money is one of the best offerings I saw as a bride and as an event planner in the industry. The owners are one of a kind and genuinely care about you and you're special day. They bent over backwards to make sure it was what we wanted. I loved their flexibility as I had a specific vision I wanted to bring to life and they helped be a part of that process. From day one, we had a connection with not only the venue but their people. I was very personal, even though they host a lot of weddings. I never felt like just another number in the venue. We highly recommend this venue for a truly magical and stress free day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
