Exquisite and Elegant

LaVela was a unique venue, because it allowed my vision to be reality! It's a clean venue, restrooms and kitchen are well maintained. They have a great selection of decor to offer for your event, catering and connections for whatever you need to make your event unique. Melissa is very professional, and worked very hard to help our wedding day be spectacular! The LaVela staff help set up the venue and clean it up too! The price for all of this was to good to be true.

Working with LaVela was great!

Working with LaVela was great! There were times I wish I would of reached out to them more frequently and earlier, or that they would of reached out to me but in the end everything worked out and the venue was gorgeous. The food that was served was amazing and I was so happy! They did a great job of setting everything up quickly and prettily. I did not have any stress on my wedding day (within reason of course haha) and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a venue. Not to mention upon first talking to them they worked within my budget so well and I was so incredibly happy with what I got for the price!
