Absolutely Amazing Service, Space and Team

WHOAHHH!!!! I had to take a moment to do a review of Bello Giorno Estate. My fiancé and I are extremely impressed by this place. I feel absolutely grateful and blessed to have found them! We researched several venues to ensure that my future husband and I were getting the perfect fit for our wedding within a decent budget, and we had trouble finding the right location in New York and New Jersey. We made countless phone calls and trips to talk to the owners of different estates and hosts and to see how the venues were inside. Some of the places we checked were money-hungry. However, finding Bello Giorno Estate was our biggest blessing in terms of venues. No other place compared to the quality, attention, and kindness we received over the phone from both Monica and Stephanie. They were beautiful, kind, very sweet, resourceful, and accommodating in facilitating our nontraditional wedding on our budget, while keeping their quality of service, nature, and elegance at their core.

Entering the premises, we were both a bit nervous. The first thing we read was a sign that said, “enter as strangers, leave as family.” We thought it was a very nice quote, but never would have imagined that Monica and Stephanie would embody this very quote to the fullest!

We drove over an hour, stayed for a tour of this spacious, elegant premises, and then had a meeting for about an hour with both of them. They took their time to learn our vision and learn from us, as we learned from them. This tour and meeting changed our entire demeanor about our wedding. The feelings of anxiety that we had when planning our wedding within a 4-month time span turned to peace and excitement. We felt so at home, and we were extremely confident that they had and have our backs and want to bring our vision to life. This is the kind of customer service that would prompt anybody to want to leave a heartfelt review. This kind of service stands out tremendously because it is so welcoming that you feel such a load of gratitude.

Monica and Stephanie run a family-owned business with all the accommodations that you can imagine. The bride and groom get their own beautiful and comfortable suite, which they are able to use for a sufficient amount of time prior to the ceremony and during if needed. There are multiple options to host your ceremony in (2 outdoors options, indoors, and outdoor with accommodation spaces). The food tasting was absolutely incredible and made me very happy to know that I've got new Italian family members! The dedication to detail that both Monica and Stephanie provide has been phenomenal, and we highly recommend this venue for weddings or any celebration.

The space is stunning! With a river stream that runs behind the property, my fiancé and I are excited to take pictures during our wedding and capture the beauty. Overall, Bello Giorno Estate is a truly unique space of beauty, peace, and luxury wrapped in a giant gift of kindness. This process has been unforgettable, and I'm confident that on our wedding day, it will truly be a ‘beautiful day’ and wonderful memory. Thanks again, Monica and Stephanie.

Five stars!

I was fortunate to be involved in my nephew’s wedding/reception at Bello Giorno! Immediately, I could tell that the owners knew exactly what they were doing. They were professional and flexible and offered guidance/suggestions in a kind and gentle manner. The suggestions they made were spot on! The entire staff (during the reception ) were punctual, professional and interacted nicely w/guests. Also, several of the guests had dietary issues which were accommodated ( and delicious!)! I highly recommend BELLO GIORNO to you! Superb and lovely event!❤️
