All I can say is WOW! The venue is so beautiful and gave me Pride and Prejudice/Bridgerton vibes! There were beautiful chandeliers and a lit fireplace. The outside is just as beautiful as the inside.
The venue does it's own catering and the food was one of the biggest compliments our guests had about our wedding! The food was delicious and they cooked each steak to order! They have a large selection of appetizers and desserts and the desserts are insane! I was the talk of my friends in regards to the desserts as I got a Flambe station, a Smores station, a warm pretzel station, a Chocolate fountain station, and a couple more! So magical!

Let's talk about the staff...very professional, attentive, and caring. Whenever I reached out they responded without a couple of hours! They were very involved from day 1 and are very detail oriented. The day of my team was very supportive and I was given a wedding coordinator who was there for anything my husband or I needed. She even took some pics during our professional photos and sent them to me after my wedding! So thoughtful!

Highly recommend this venue and staff! Shout out to my team Todd and Tricia for giving me my dream fairytale wedding!

La Bella Vista is easily the best wedding venue in Connecticut. The food is incredible, the staff is amazing, and the atmosphere is truly one of a kind. Todd and Tricia go above and beyond, as well as the rest of the LBV staff to make the couple feel special and cared for, as well as your family and bridal party. I would get married (to my husband) at LBV over and over again.

Todd was amazing and from the very first tour he helped us picture the big day. He was always super responsive in emails and very helpful while planning over the last 2 years.

On the day of, Tricia (the maître d') was also incredible. She made sure everything was going according to plan. She helped coordinate with the photographers and DJ, helped with my dress, and made sure we were well taken care of.

The only real complaint we had about the night was that dessert was too late in the evening.. But it was well worth the wait. The display was incredible.

There are no words to describe how awesome La Bella Vista is to work with! From the start, Todd was beyond helpful and made wedding planning so easy for us. He answered all of our questions clearly and in depth. Whenever I would shoot him an email, his response was almost immediate. Tricia was an absolute angel to work with on our wedding day. She was right by our sides making sure we were ok, directing everything and making the day went smooth. These two made our day & planning so easy and perfect for us. The venue itself is beautiful, and the food is beyond amazing. All we kept hearing after the wedding was “I never had a better meal”. The staff did an awesome job setting up and packing up all of our decor. We did not have to worry about a thing!!!! We highly recommend La Bella Vista!!!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than La Bella Vista. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of amazing.
The Food Was Outstanding
The culinary experience at La Bella Vista exceeded all our expectations. The hors d'oeuvres were absolutely fantastic – our guests couldn't get enough of them! But we were just getting started. The multi-course meal that followed had everyone completely satisfied and raving about the quality. After all those delicious appetizers, our guests were shocked there was even more incredible food to come. Everything was perfectly prepared and presented – truly chef's kiss worthy! The best part? It was all included in our package with no need for additional vendors.
Breathtaking Outdoor Setup
The outdoor ceremony space was absolutely beautiful. The venue went above and beyond by providing extra décor that perfectly complemented our wedding vision. The natural beauty of the grounds combined with their thoughtful touches created the perfect romantic atmosphere.
Exceptional Staff Service
The staff at La Bella Vista made our day seamless and stress-free. They helped set up our centerpieces and ensured every detail looked perfect. Our Maître D, Alina, was absolutely incredible – consistently on top of everything, always bringing fresh drinks and water, making sure the entire event flowed smoothly, and somehow anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. Most importantly, they made sure that my spouse and I actually got to sit down and enjoy our own wedding meal – something that doesn't always happen when couples get pulled in every direction!
Smooth Planning Process
Working with La Bella Vista was refreshingly easy. Todd was thorough in explaining everything we needed and provided us with a comprehensive checklist that allowed us to plan our entire wedding without needing a separate wedding planner. The team was also wonderfully flexible whenever we needed to make adjustments.
Perfect Photo Opportunities
The grounds and courtyard offer countless beautiful photo opportunities. Our photographer had so many gorgeous backdrops to work with throughout the property.
La Bella Vista truly made our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. If you're looking for a venue that combines exceptional food, beautiful settings, outstanding service, and stress-free planning, look no further. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

I truly don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Todd and Tricia, who went above and beyond to make my wedding day everything I dreamed of—and more.

Todd, my incredible wedding coordinator, was a godsend from start to finish. He answered every single question I had, no matter the time or how small the detail. His calm presence, responsiveness, and genuine care ensured that everything ran smoothly and beautifully. Because of Todd, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes was handled with precision and heart.

Tricia, my amazing Maître d’, was equally phenomenal. She anticipated my every need before I could even voice it—from making sure I had my favorite drink in hand to pulling out my lip gloss from her apron just when I needed it. Her attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made me feel truly cared for throughout the entire day.
The entire staff at La Bella Vista—from the chefs to the servers to the bartenders—were nothing short of exceptional. Every person was polite, professional, and committed to making our celebration seamless and special. The food was outstanding, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere filled with joy and ease.

To Todd, Tricia, and the entire La Bella Vista team: thank you again for making my wedding day unforgettable. You didn’t just meet expectations—you exceeded them in every way.

We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at La Bella Vista this July. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in great hands. The entire planning process was smooth, organized, and stress-free—thanks to the incredible LBV staff. We didn’t hire an outside planner or coordinator, but we never felt like we needed one. The team guided us through every detail with care and professionalism. We held our ceremony off-site and chose not to do a first look, which created a few timing challenges. The LBV staff worked closely with us to build a timeline that made everything flow beautifully. They made sure we had time for all the important moments—photos, introductions, toasts, dinner, and dancing—without anything ever feeling rushed. We were truly able to relax and enjoy the experience, knowing everything was being handled with care. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Guests are still telling us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. From the incredible cocktail hour to the beautifully plated entrees and desserts, every bite was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Many people were so full from cocktail hour (which felt like a meal on its own!) that they couldn’t finish dinner, but the LBV team had takeout containers ready so guests could bring leftovers home. That extra level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We also received compliments on how perfectly meals were cooked, especially the beef, which arrived at exactly the right temperature for each guest. Several guests even mentioned how the staff greeted them by name and made them feel welcomed and taken care of. The quality, quantity, and attention to detail were unmatched. During the reception, we felt completely supported by the staff. A special thank-you to Tricia, who stayed close by and helped with anything we needed—fixing my veil, keeping us on track, and making sure we always had food and drinks in hand. Her calm and kind presence added so much to our night. Every part of our experience, from the food to the service to the overall flow, exceeded our expectations. We’ve received so many compliments on how beautiful and well-run the day was. We’ll always be grateful to La Bella Vista and their incredible team for making our wedding feel like a dream. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding food, a professional and caring staff, and an unforgettable experience, La Bella Vista is it. We’d choose them again in a heartbeat.

This is beyond 5-Star ratings! Just had our daughter's wedding yesterday. LBV exceeded our expectations. Guests were so overjoyed by the whole experience that they claimed it was the best wedding they have ever attended! The staff was great. Top notch. There are no words to express my how wonderful this venue and its staff are. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your special day.

Absolutely amazing! From the staff, the food, drinks, service, and everything in between! From coming to a wedding here in 2016, and attending 22 weddings after that, La Bella Vista is the only place that had the most INCREDIBLE food! My guests are still talking about it!

Working with the La Bella Vista team was an absolute pleasure during every step of our wedding! Andrew is so friendly and patient and we loved working with him! La Bella Vista does an amazing job of walking you through the wedding planning process to help make sure you’re staying on track each step of the way. Andrew provided several vendor recommendations as well. We ended up working with some of the suggested vendors and all of them were AMAZING. On our wedding day, the entire Bella Vista staff was incredible. Tricia in particular from a bride’s perspective was an absolute dream to work with. There aren’t words big enough to thank her for how comfortable she made us feel. From the moment we arrived at the venue to the moment we packed up, everything was executed to perfection. The food is top-notch, the grounds and interior décor are stunning, and the execution was absolute perfection. If you’re unsure about your wedding venue, please trust us – you will be so happy with La Bella Vista!!
