I believe ours was the first wedding ceremony that Bella Via had done out on their patio - and it was gorgeous. They did such a great job of getting everything set up and everything looked gorgeous. Given that my main contact was getting married the same day we did - the owner, Maurizio, did an AMAZING job putting everything together that day and everything looked absolutely beautiful. We got lots of complements on the location. There were, as with any gathering of a large number of people, a few hiccups, but all in all everything went very smoothly and Maurizio was SO helpful with everything. I would definitely recommend Bella Via to a bride looking for a nice outdoor space for her wedding (patio with brick pavers and ivy on the brick walls and cute little "street lamps" around.) and the FOOD IS AWESOME! I recommend it for rehearsal dinners too - as the food is just phenomenal and the private party space was warm and friendly. I have nothing but good things to say!
