Our day was PERFECT!

Ian is phenomenal to work with! His care, compassion, and attention to detail is remarkable and we could not have asked for a better person to put in charge of our day. The food was outstanding, venue looked stunning, and we continuously received compliments all night. This venue is a true gem and you will be in wonderful hands with Ian. Thanks again!

Beautiful venue

Ian and the staff were amazing! From the very beginning they kept things super easy. During the wedding ian and his staff served the food so quickly and all the food was DELICIOUS! The venue is stunning on its own without tons of decorations. At the end of the night ian helped us get everything packed up so were didnt have to stay late. All my guests said how beautiful and amazing everything was. I highly recommend this venue!

Bells was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. The team at Bells makes everything SO simple and easy. The plated dinner was delicious, and they moved things along quickly. The bridal party was about 15 minutes late getting the the reception, but Bell's seamlessly got us back on track by getting dinner out to everyone as soon as we were ready. When it was all over, they already had decorations packed up and ready for us to take with us (an AMAZING service given that usually you have to do this on your own).

I could not imagine a more perfect wedding and how well everything turned out due to Bell's Banquets and Ian. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is seriously out of this world, and the service was excellent! Your plate includes everything (food, tax, service, and bar). We went with the Crystal Bell Package which was $54.95 a plate (2018) and chose the bistro filet and parmesan crusted chicken combo meal. Everyone raved about how good the food was, how the portion size was extremely filling, the plate was hot when it arrived, and the speed of service it came out at was incredible. Inside is a barn atmosphere with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. We fit around 175 guests (max is 200) and we used both lofts but not the dance floor for seating. We went with the basic bar package which is included in the plate but you can pay extra for more top shelf alcohol. If someone wants top shelf and it was not purchased in the plate then the guest can pay extra for it. I highly recommend Bell's Banquets to everyone!

My husband and I had the perfect wedding here! I'm not exaggerating when I say that we had the best day and so much of it had to do with how amazing our venue and food was. We knew the food was good going into the wedding day, but I think all of our guests at some point came up to us to tell you how good their meal was. Ian was so helpful and responsive to our requests. Everything went so smoothly, transitions were so quick and seemless I barely noticed them. All the staff were friendly and cheerful. The space is beautiful and everyone seed comfortable. I'm glad we picked Bell's for our perfect day!

I can't say enough about Bell's. I toured a few other venues but as soon as I walked into Bell's it was exactly the venue I had in mind. There is not even much decorations needed because it is just beautiful inside. Ian and his team did a great job from the day we booked all the way until our wedding, we got so many compliments on how nice the place was and how great the food was. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue close by! I have not one complaint!

We had our wedding at Bell's on 11/26/16 and it was absolutely perfect! I can't recommend them enough. Planning with them was a breeze. They were friendly, helpful, and professional, as well as easy to contact with any questions we had. They set up the entire reception for us--cookie and cake tables, guest book, place cards, centerpieces...everything was done for us the day of the wedding, which was really helpful and saved us a lot of time and stress. Bell's is absolutely stunning inside, and I got so many compliments on how everything looked. The staff was wonderful and accommodating; we had two guests who arrived late due to a family emergency, and the waitstaff served them dinner immediately despite the fact that dinner was already being cleaned up. The food was amazing! Many people told me it was the best food they had ever been served at a wedding. By the end of the night, the staff had everything packed and ready for us, which was incredibly helpful since we were exhausted. Everything about our experience with Bell's was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend them enough!
