Granddaughters wedding was here and could not be better, excellent service, attentive staff, just a beautiful place for a wedding and very unique building for reception. Would highly recommend!!

Words cannot explain how absolutely happy we’re for choosing The Garden at Bella Sera for our wedding day. From the moments we did our tour of the venue we knew this was the place for us and no other will ever compare. Everything was such an amazing stress free process from the moment we booked to the day of our event. I decided to do majority of the planning myself and received amazing help along the way with details needed to know for finalizing our ceremony and reception. Every single staff member there and every single detail was absolutely perfect! The provide catering and you cannot for wrong their food is absolutely delicious the chefs are amazing our guest talked about how great the dinner was and the crawfish beignets were hands down a hit people just couldn’t quit taking about them! Dinner was also a breeze for the groom and I as we spent the days having so many to do but didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to feeding ourselves because your meal is set on your table for you ensuring that you get to enjoy your meal. Like I said we literally couldn’t have asked for more even pack up and cleaning to go was super easy right after our sparklers send off which was absolutely beautiful. IF you’re looking for the perfect venue and staff to go along with it look no further Bella Sera Gardens is everything and more made all of this 7months pregnant bride dreams come true I am so grateful and thankful to have chosen here to forever have the most beautiful memories of our special day. Thank you Bella Sera!

The best day of my life took place here!! The venue is something out of a fairy tale- classy, vintage, chic, it takes you back in time. All of my guests were very well accommodated for, including ones who required extra assistance (wheelchairs, oxygen). The “get ready” buildings are so nice and accommodating on the inside, and the catering was supreme. Everything was perfect, just the way we wanted it and more. I felt so special and taken care of. Gorgeous venue, wonderful staff, incredible wedding. I am so grateful!!!

Thank you for making our wedding ceremony and guests feel so welcome! We could not have asked for a better experience!

If you are looking for a fairytale wedding, look no further than Bella Sera Gardens. The staff at Bella Sera were exquisite and the venue is magical. Straight out of a storybook, Bella Sera will sweep you away with the beautiful scenery, charming Reception Pavillion and fairytale Air Chapel. The courtyard is gorgeous with a stunning fountain and precious swings and fire fountains. The bars are simply the icing on the cake that wraps the courtyard together. Everywhere you step you will find an amazing photo opportunity with guests. The decor is perfection and filled with vintage magical touches everywhere. The entire venue is like a dream come true! The staff is courteous and friendly. I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue to have our dream fairytale wedding!

Look no further. You simply will not find a better venue. The outdoor chapel is exquisite; the Italian garden stunning and the reception building perfect. And, it's all inclusive. So, you won't have your guests moving from the church to the venue - it's all right there. They also have a chef. The owner, Robin, went over and above to make this an incredible and beautiful experience, literally. After the ceremony, she got on a 20-foot ladder to make a certain picture I had in my mind perfect. Who does that? She's got an artist's eye and LOTS of experience. We looked at everything in South Alabama and this, by far, we the most beautiful and easiest.

We had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Bella Sera and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! There are so many places on the property to take pictures so be prepared for your photographer to have a blast - mine did! Robin, the owner, was very easy to work with and gave a lot of cool and fun ideas for the wedding on the tour when I was trying to figure out my vision for the day. The bridal house was roomy and the bathroom is large so plenty of room to get ready on the property. One of many things I loved about the venue is that every part of the venue is beautiful - the courtyard, the fountains with fire, the bars in the courtyard, the open air chapel and bridges... even the bathrooms for guests are beautifully decorated. You MUST tour this place if you are looking to get married in South Alabama!!

**Brides, PLEASE read the other 1 star reviews… and do NOT make the same mistake that myself and the others did… there are so many other venues that won’t be a NIGHTMARE of a wedding day and WASTE of your money. The owner lies, is a terror to deal with on your actual day (she seems great before then and tells you it’s the others brides faults if there’s a problem), she lets her family live in the house you’ll get ready in without telling you that (which the house is dirty, had poop stains on the inside of the toilet, dust on all the surfaces inside,, the pool is green) She stepped over my caterers and wedding decorators and started moving things bc they looked “trashy” and when told that they had it under control and it’s what the bride wanted her response was “I don’t care, it looks trashy and isn’t up to the BS standard”, she ignored my mom when confronted about how dirty everything was at the bridal house and having someone stay there. And to TOP IT ALL OFF she pushed me, to where I almost tripped trying to get me to go up the stairs when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle with my dad bc I wasn’t “standing in the right spot” and also called my mom a “b****” and then CALLED THE COPS🤯 after my mom asked to settle things after the reception (she interrupted us not even halfway through the reception telling us to pay the bar tab then, when the reception wasn’t even over and people were still getting drinks)
So I had two cops show up at my reception only to apologize to us, saying that they’re “called out here often” and they stood around talking to my dad/family/friends for awhile, while she just stood back. She then at the sparkler exit, put her HANDS on TWO of my guest! One a 20+ year old girlfriend of mine and the other a 62 year older man telling them to “back and and stand here” 🤯🤯
Speechless isn’t the word. So, please google and choose another venue. Where the OWNERS ARE NOT THERE…which is literally how EVERY. SINGLE. OTHER wedding that I have been to is, I’ve never seen the owner of the venue hovering around.
It’s worth the peace of mind, please take it from me.
I hope your day is relaxing, beautiful, perfect and everything you dream for it to be…which it will most likely be if you stay away from this place.
If you want the pictures… just go take your bridals there.
Save your $$$$ and your day from going terribly chaotic and stressful.

If your thinking about it ? Don’t do it you’ll
Regret it. Not worth ruining your day by this owner and employees. Pic shows how they throw your stuff out.

Owner is absolutely terrible. Read the reviews and continue to find another venue elsewhere. Do not give this place a dime!
