Where do I even begin... We were just married here last weekend and it was a dream come true. The property is stunning with breathtaking views of the Coloma Valley and Bob and Kathleen are so wonderful and welcoming. The hospitality was beyond words. The first night of our arrival Kathleen beckoned us from our room in a hushed voice to point out 3 baby deer on the front lawn. A magical start to a magical weekend.

We wanted to really enjoy they experience and so arrived several days before our Saturday wedding. (Brides to be- if possible this is definitely the way to do it!) This gave us time to enjoy the pool and hot tub and relax after months of wedding prep. We were greeted each morning with hot coffee and a delicious breakfast cooked by Kathleen- veggie frittata, fresh fruit, country french toast with blueberry syrup- oh my!!!

Bob worked tirelessly to make sure the property was absolutely perfect for our Saturday wedding and I can tell you it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

If you hold your wedding here, the package includes an event coordinator, Jordan. Where do I even begin... Jordan is amazing!!! From the moment we viewed the property 8 months before she worked with us to ensure we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. She recommended vendors that she trusted, answered my many many emails promptly, checked in on details that an overwhelmed bride may forget, and truly took all the stress and worry out of our wedding day. She was beyond wonderful and we couldn't have done it without her.

We already have plans to return down the line for an anniversary getaway! Bella Vista Bed and Breakfast will always hold a special place in our heart!

My husband and I got married here in May 2011 and it was absolutely beautiful. Bob and Kathleen - the innkeepers - were so accommodating and helpful. They spent numerous hours getting the place ready for our event and the property looked just beautiful. Jordan - our event coordinator - was just fabulous. I was running around trying to get things setup and one of my bridesmaid finally had to drag me inside to get my hair done. It was such a relief to have Jordan take over and make sure each detail was perfect. I would strongly recommend this venue as a wedding ceremony and reception site. It had rained the whole day before but magically the sun came out right before the ceremony was about to start. It was just perfect!

The real value in being a Bella bride is that the location is so beautiful! The only thing that upset me was that you needed to use one of their prefered caterers. Which wouldn't have been a problem except that they were all way above my budget. Some so much that the cost of food was going to be more than I had budgeted for my entire wedding! In the end I had to pay more than I wanted for the food because if you bring in your own caterer it can cost you up to a $700 dollar fee!

Overall, my wedding was gorgeous and I would have still done it at Bella Vista, but I would have waited a few more months to I could save up to get the food I wanted.
