We would recommend The Belle to anyone!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Belle of Blue Bell! From the moment we toured the venue with Ruth, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. Ashley, our Event Coordinator, was incredibly patient and responsive throughout the entire planning process. She kept us informed, answered all our questions, and helped us feel confident and prepared going into our wedding weekend.

On the day of, Karen, the Club Manager at Blue Bell Country Club, was absolutely AMAZING. She managed everything so seamlessly. Her attention to detail made the whole day feel smooth and stress-free. Karen’s team were also incredible and kept our bridal party on track, always there when we needed something.

The Belle itself is a gorgeous venue. Even with the cold and rainy weather, having everything indoors (ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception) worked out perfectly. The space was beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned. Guests raved about the dinner, the variety of food at cocktail hour, and the desserts— especially the mini ice cream cones. We’re so thankful for the entire team at The Belle and would recommend this venue to anyone!

Dream Wedding Venue!!!

The Belle of Blue Bell was only the 2nd venue we toured and we immediately knew it was the venue of our dreams. We felt the package and pricing was very fair compared to others in the Philly area. It felt unreal what we got for the price. The all-inclusive aspect of it was such a big win for us. Having Normandy Farm as the sister location for photos, hotel block, after party, and complimentary breakfast for our guest was amazing. It was truly an elegant wedding weekend! A huge selling point as well was having FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE from the hotel over to the Belle and back was an insane perk! Saved us thousands of dollars! JoAnne my assigned wedding planner was the best. She was available to answer my millions of questions throughout the planning process. The day of staff that was provided made our day so seamless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I was a DIY bride and they set up everything up for us and took it all down at the end of the night which was huge! The food was amazing! We were able to use all their in-house vendors such as production, photography and florist so having it truly be a one stop shop saved my sanity. The quality of work they also provided was bar none, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The amount of people that told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended was crazy. We couldn’t have done it without the Belle. We always say we want to get married there all over again. If you’re looking for the best venue, DON’T WALK, RUN TO THE BELLE!!!!

Amazing Wedding with BBCC!

We had our wedding on 10/22/21 and the Belle. It was amazing, and more perfect than we could have ever hoped for! We worked with Ashley and she was so helpful and kind in coordinating everything. Our bridal attendants and maitre d were Karen and Linda and Chantel and they were so kind and attentive in making sure we had everything we needed. We had rave reviews about the food and the property! Especially during COVID, they were so responsive to any questions we had and were amazing to work with! Highly, highly recommend!

Our Wedding Was Perfect!

We had an excellent experience with The Belle right from the beginning. From the tour to booking to planning the staff at The Belle made the process so easy. JoAnne helped us plan all the details and kept us on track with everything. She also worked with us to reschedule our wedding twice due to COVID. She worked with us to find and new date and kept us up to date on all the guideline changes as these were evolving.

The day of our wedding was amazing. Karen made sure everything ran smoothly. All the staff was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed.

We got compliments from all of our guests on how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how wonderful everything was.

We can't thank the staff at The Belle enough for making our wedding day perfect!

Blue Bell Country Club and Normandy Farm were the perfect choice for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding weekend! The weekend started Friday with a delicious rehearsal dinner in NF’s The Farmer’s Daughter private Dowry room. We continued the celebration making our way to the Terrace’s outdoor bar for cocktails, sitting in comfy rocking chairs surrounding a huge fire pit. We enjoyed NF’s complimentary Saturday breakfast before preparations of the big day. The grounds at NF and BBCC are so beautiful and vast, the photographer had nearly unlimited backdrop options. As the day progressed we found ourselves in NF’s comfortable lobby welcoming guests spending the night. Our son and DIL had over 100 guests spend the night, many complimented their stays. The ceremony and reception were held at the Blue Bell Country Club. Complimentary shuttles transported guests across the street to the BBCC. There was a bridal suite stocked with food and drinks for the wedding party. The ceremony and cocktail hour, both held outside, were wonderful. While sipping cocktails, guests were able to enjoy gorgeous views complete with deer crossing the course. The reception, held in the Grand Ball room, was nothing short of spectacular. Compliments about the food, flowers (from the on-site florist Willow & Thistle), decor, and the band EBE’s LA Starz were abundant. Many guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended. After the reception it was back to NF for the after party. In the Dowry we had snacks which were a big hit after all the dancing at the reception. In the bar a DJ played until 2am. The weekend wrapped up with guests enjoying the Farmer’s Daughter’s famous Sunday brunch. It was nice being able to chat with guests in a relaxed setting. I could not more highly recommend Blue Bell Country Club and Normandy Farm. All the staff were beyond helpful and professional and helped make the day unforgettable. It really was the perfect wedding weekend!

My husband and I are so thrilled with how everyone at BBCC took care of us on our wedding day a few weeks ago. We have received so many compliments from our guests on how great the food was, how attentive the staff was, and how beautiful the grounds and ballroom were. JoAnne was so patient and helpful throughout the planning process beforehand as well. We are so grateful we started our life together at BBCC!

My husband and I had our reception 3 weeks ago at Blue Bell Country Club and we absolutely loved it! When we first walked in to tour the facility, we knew that it was the perfect fit for us! The ballroom is just stunning! Everything was truly exceptional. Our guests gave us so many compliments about BBCC. The food is delicious, drinks were great, and cocktail hor’dourves were fabulous. My husband and I were truly pleased with everything from beginning to end. Ashley, my event planner was amazing. She was so helpful during the entire process. She answered every question and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend BBCC.

Blue Bell Country Club was the perfect venue for our wedding! I was planning my wedding remotely from Chicago and worked primarily with JoAnne for planning and Jose for operations. They could not have made the process any easier or more seamless. I even opted to change the ceremony layout from what they typically have outdoors and they were so accommodating! BBCC handled everything from catering and the cake, to day of coordinating, and provided a large open bar where they even created a signature cocktail of our choice! The ballroom was the perfect size for our 200 person party and our wedding honestly was so amazing and it wouldn't have been nearly as easy to plan or as warm, inviting, and FUN if it wasn't for BBCC. If you are considering this venue for your wedding - go for it - you will be so happy!!
