    Incredible

    We absolutely adore this place. From the building, to the people, to the food. Everything here was amazing. We had originally booked January 2021 but moved it a year due to covid. The team at The Bell was extremely helpful in getting all of this figured out for us and keeping us in the loop. They had great ideas and thought provoking questions that helped my husband and I figure out what we wanted to do. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and was everything we wanted and more. Having our wedding at The Bell was the best thing we ever did. We are so happy!

    Highly Recommended

    The Bell Event Centre was everything that we could have wanted for our wedding venue.  It all started when we first walked in to meet with the team for inital discussions and we were already blown away.  The magnificent architecture of the venue along with the beautiful stained glass windows just drops your jaw to the ground.  On top of the awe of the venue there was a table set up with samples of table settings, photography albums to display other weddings and an entire folder detailing everything you can imagine for you big day.  We walked in thinking this would be an initial consultation and we ended up walking out with our wedding venue booked because we knew nothing could beat this.  We could tell the team cared about the couples and wanted to make your day special to what you want.  Throughout the planning process we worked with both Alexis and Lori.  They were both amazing, knowledgable, accomodating and quick to respond.  Our day of coordinator was Alexis and she made everything so simple and easy so we didnt have to worry on the details.  She really picked up on our vision and executed it perfectly. The food was amazing and beautifully plated which received numerous compliments from our guests.  General service throughout the night matches if not exceeds some of the finer dining experiences I have been a part of.  One other amazing thing is the long list of reccommended vendors and accommodations the team at the Bell is able to provide from hotels, to photographers to officiants.  This once again removed a lot of research from our plates and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding day and have less stress with planning leading up to it. 

    Something special about this venue is they put on events throughout the year that are open to the public. Prior to our wedding we went to a wine dinner and we know we will be back for future events as well.  This allows us to continue to relive the night and memories into the future which you don't necessarily get to do often at other venues.

    We would give this venue and team 5/5 stars over and over and leave you with a "Highly Reccomended" remark, thank you!

    Stunning venue and amazing experience!

    We cannot recommend the Bell Event Centre enough after hosting our wedding there! We fell in love with the venue because it is just absolutely stunning. But I was slightly hesitant about the in-house catering. I never should have been though, as the food was fantastic and we received so many compliments from our guest saying the food was the best wedding food they have had! The staff and coordinators made the planning process so smooth and easy, and that is coming from a very Type A and easily stressed bride! Their attention to detail is amazing, and they were very flexible and easy to work with! Could not have had a better wedding experience!

    The perfect venue and top-notch staff

    We had both our ceremony and reception at Bell Event Centre and I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff, especially our coordinator, Lori. Lori was extremely easy to work with, organized, and responsive. Every member of the staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. Besides mentioning the obvious beauty of the venue, our guests even commented to us about how awesome every team member that worked there was. I am someone who worries about every detail, and I felt at ease on my wedding day knowing that they had everything covered.

    A perfect spot for a wedding reception

    Our experience for our daughter's December 28th wedding was simply outstanding! One year prior - almost to the eventual wedding day - we visited the center (very impromptu and were warmly welcomed) and saw the Bell Centre then in its Christmas decor and dress. It was obvious from the moment we saw the facility that this was to be the location for our daughter's Christmas wedding. Through a year of planning, the staff responded always in a timely and well-informed fashion. Tiffani (our event coordinator) was very detail-oriented and remembered and recorded everything. She has an incredible talent for the trickle-down effect of decisions and how one step affects another. The staff worked very well with all of our vendors, coordinating details up until the very last minute. By the day of the wedding, I knew we were in very capable hands. We received multiple compliments on the beauty of the facility and its unique presentation. I would highly recommend this facility for a wedding reception or another large-scale event. Our family was beyond pleased!

    Absoultely breathtaking

    It was a very simple decision for my now-husband to make in deciding where our venue would be: hands down, The Bell Event Center!
    -the beauty of the building, the architecture, the amazing details, stain-glass from floor to ceiling, the lighting, etc.
    -the attention to every last detail from The Bell staff made me feel like my wedding was a fairytale. Shout-out to Lori Campbell for making sure all of my wishes came true and for keeping everything flowing perfectly (even when there was stress)
    -the food was amazing, the service was perfect, I could go on and on...
    -I wish I could relive this day over and over again
    -HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Responsive & Detailed Tour

    We toured the Bell Event Centre on a Saturday morning with a lovely lady named Lori. Lori was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions. The tour was of course breathtaking because the venue is beautiful and one of a kind, but Tori herself was extremely helpful. After the tour, Lori followed up and quickly responded to our emails. She never made us feel rushed or like our specific date was going to be given away.

    Exceeded all expectations! We were planning from out of state and they made the process so easy for us! I can’t tell you how many compliments I received on how gorgeous it was! Tiffani, the wedding coordinator was outstanding. She was on top of everything and made sure everything ran perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding!

    This was the greatest investment of my wedding budget. The Bell Event Centre provided top level customer and event services. My wedding was absolutely stunning and with so smoothly. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. My coordinator Tiffani was the best. She execute my every wish perfectly and timily. I also was blown away by the food. The biggest compliment we received was about the food tasting amazing and the decor. I can honestly say I had my dream wedding and it was definitely because of the Bell Event Centre!

    We loved our wedding at the Bell Event Center! It was elegant, classy and amazing! The food, service and value was amazing! Alexis was our coordinator and she was amazing! Lori also helped as well and was so incredibly attentive! We had so many of our guests RAVE about our wedding and they all said it was because of the venue. We had a stress free, gorgeous day because of the Bell! We did the cocktail hour, ceremony and reception there and it was perfect! I'd highly recommend the Bell Event Centre!

    The venue itself is outstanding with it's old church restoration. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a random question about the contract, the decorations, timelines; you name it, they were happily there willing to help get all your questions answered immediately. My wedding day coordinator was Lori and she was amazing. She was always there asking if there was anything we needed all while ensuring the night stays on the timeline. She not only checked on the bride and groom, but she also checked in with our entire bridal party and parents to help get them whatever they needed to ensure they had the best time they could. She was always so calm which was a major help when all of our emotions were heightened. The rest of the staff worked so efficiently, you couldn't even notice there workers/servers/bussers walking around.

    The food was absolutely amazing. We had guests say that this was the best wedding food they had ever had. We had the ziti bolegnese, airline chicken, green beans and fingerling potatoes with salad and rolls. Everything was so flavorful. My favorite were the snappy garlic green beans! All the appetizers were delicious as well. The chef and kitchen staff did a great job and seemed to feed a large crowd (160) without any issue.

    We would recommend the Bell Event Centre to anyone looking for a venue for one of their events. You can trust that the event will go as planned, on time, with delicious food all while you enjoy the event yourself, worry-free!

    We loved everything about our ceremony and wedding at the Bell. The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff is incredible. Lori, our wedding coordinator from the Bell, was so helpful!!! Especially the day of the wedding, she helped us with everything we needed and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We got married on a Friday and only had beer/wine - so that helped a great deal with cost. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

    We LOVE the Bell Event Center! It was the perfect venue for us! Even though we live in Maryland and had to plan our wedding from afar they made everything so easy. Although you can spend a good chunk of change if you want a Saturday wedding here, they offer great deals for Friday/Sunday's and also winter specials. We had ours on a Sunday with the brunch menu. A lot of our guests complimented the food, who doesn't love brunch?! It is very convenient that the cost per person includes everything you need (the space itself, tables, chairs, coordinator, food, drinks, service, lighting, etc) and the space is already so beautiful you really don't need to spend much on extra decor. They even have some random odds and ends like table numbers, unity candle holders, cake cutting knife, and cupcake stands you can use for free. We had about a 100 guest wedding, and that filled the space well. Brooke C. was our coordinator and she was awesome!! She made everything go so smoothly, checked in with all my vendors the week of, ran the rehearsal, kept things on time, and just generally took care of everything without us even needing to say anything, she was so on top of it! She was also super responsive to all my emails, usually replying within 24hours. The only critique or surprises I would say I found when I first visited the space in person is that the layout of the space is a little weird. When guests enter into the space they enter at the alter area, so it's a little backwards, but this wasn't a big deal. Also I was worried the space was pretty dim when I visited, but the day of with all the extra lighting they had on and candles it wasn't an issue. And one thing to keep in mind/caused us some confusion is the cocktail hour (for changeover between ceremony and reception) counts as part of the allotted 4 hour reception time. Our cocktail time was more like thirty-ish minutes, and we didn't end up needing to add on more time, but you can add on more time if you want.

    My husband and I just had our winter wedding here and it was fantastic. They catered to my every need and were so friendly: they let us decorate the space personally on Thursday, Maddie our coordinator brought me food and drinks throughout the night- she even bustled my dress!! Wonderful experience!

    My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at the Bell Event Centre and it couldn't have been more perfect. We had rave reviews by our guests on the beautiful location as well as the amazing food! Maddie was our coordinator on the day of our wedding and she went above and beyond what we could have expected. My dress was having bustle issues and she made sure I was happy and comfortable and bustled my dress many times during the event! During our many meetings at the Bell centre, we knew it was a beautiful old church but nothing compares to the day of the event when all the candles are lit, the lights are on, and the decorations in place. It is absolutely breathtaking!

    I had my wedding here May 2nd, and couldn't wait to write a review for them! This venue was the BEST! The planner, Maddie, was so helpful in planning and during the reception. She helped keep everyone on track and I even had other planners but Maddie really stood out! She was so sweet and so helpful.
    The venue was absolutely breathtaking. The food was a 10/10, everyone kept saying how good the food was. The cocktail hour was outside, and so worth the extra cost. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride in the area, it's such a great deal for all that you get and such high quality all around!! Thank you so much Bell Event Centre for the most beautiful wedding!

    I was recently married at The Bell Event Centre, and it surpassed every expectation for my wedding. Not only is it a beautiful setting, but the service and attention to detail from the staff were impeccable and made the entire night go better than I could have imagined. Our coordinator, Amy, was so helpful throughout the planning process and made our entire wedding and reception go smoothly. The food was delicious, and so many guests complimented it as well as the service. If you are looking for a beautiful venue where you are fully taken care of in pulling off your dream wedding, I highly recommend The Bell Event Centre.

    The Bell was my first and only option for an indoor venue. Its ambiance and beauty are one of kind. If you pick this venue you will have a memorable reception/wedding your guests will be forever talking about. I’m convinced there’s no other venue in Cincinnati that can top the Bell. It’s magical, mesmerizing, and like a dream. My guests couldn't stop complimenting me on my venue. If you want something that people will remember and be talking about forever- pick the Bell. If you want a venue that no other venue can top and any other wedding your guests go to can’t even compete- pick the Bell.

    To me-this venue was reasonably priced, is worth every penny and could honestly run for a lot more. I don’t know why anyone would go to a standard event hall when there is the Bell. This venue is a gem! Something like this in a bigger city would be a fortune and we have it here in Cincinnati for a competitive price in my opinion.

    Customer service- There were some bumps but the Bell fixed everything, which I very much appreciated. I felt they made it obvious I was annoying them during my “bridezilla” moments. The reception hall is the most expensive part of the wedding and I wish they were a bit more "warm/fuzzy" when dealing with their brides. It appears they are used to a certain type of clientele and if you don't fit that type of client they don't know how to deal with you in my opinion... I will say they are the only vendor I felt like this with. I went ahead and still gave them a high rating because they made things right and personally reached out to me in the end; I can't tell if it's because they knew I would raise hell if they didn't or it was sincere... but I guess it doesn't matter because business is business in the end and it is just a transaction. They delivered 100% for what I paid for.

    Overall, my wedding reception was perfect and I don’t have any regrets about having it at the Bell.

    Best part? The included wedding coordinator.

    The Bell Event Centre is, in my opinion, the best place to have your wedding reception. This place is absolutely gorgeous inside! We recently had our reception there on November 14th and I could not have been happier. This was the first and only place we looked at, and we booked it immediately. Our coordinator was Amy and she was so helpful! I didn't have to worry about anything, I knew it would be taken care of. The lighting package here is amazing! Between the lighting on the alter and pillars, the spotlight on each centerpiece, and the lighting on the stained glass windows, it is absolutely breathtaking. We also received so many compliments on the food! This place is absolutely gorgeous, there is really nothing like it! Highly Recommended!

    The Bell Centre was absolutely perfect for our wedding last month. When I saw it for the first time, I knew it was where I wanted our reception to be! The space is incredible, but the staff is also amazing! They are so helpful and flexible. Our wedding coordinator was Maddie and she was awesome! We didn't have to worry about a thing--the night went so smoothly! The food was so delicious--everyone was blown away by the dinner and we also had great appetizers and late-night bites.

    We worked with Amy at The Bell Event Centre. She was so professional and flexible. She never complained about one request that we made. She made the whole evening worry free and enjoyable. The Bell is a great place because they do provide so many services included in the total price of the evening. It is a BEAUTIFUL place! The whole evening felt so special just because we were in that beautiful old church.

    The second we walked into the Bell Event Centre we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The building, an old church restored as a full service event center, has stunning architecture, gorgeous stained glass and an amazing mural/mosaic ceiling that is simply breathtaking. The kind of venue that needs very little additional decoration -- flowers and votive candles set a romantic and timeless tone for our amazing wedding day. Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue saying they had never seen anything like it.
    The staff at the Bell Event Centre was super responsive and helpful. Amy managed the day-of coordination on site -- and everything went flawlessly. She was extremely helpful with ideas and answering questions ahead of time and took care of every last detail of the day. Everything was set up perfectly. The staff was extremely helpful -- they took care of everything, leaving nothing to do/worry about for us/our families other than enjoying our time. The food was phenomenal. So many people commented on how much they loved all the food saying it was the best they ever had. The staff even took care of catering in late night Skyline for our guests.
    I highly recommend The Bell Event Centre--it was perfect and I can't thank Amy, Brooke and team for everything!

    I saw pictures of someone's wedding reception at the Bell before I ever met my now husband and I knew it was where I wanted to have my wedding reception someday. I had never even step foot through the door! As soon as we got engaged I sent messages to a few acquaintances who had their receptions there to get feedback - positive, glowing reviews after positive, glowing reviews. Not one negative thing! So - I scheduled my own visit and as soon as I walked through the door, I knew it was going to be perfect for our special day.

    It started with incredible communication and customer service from day #1. I asked a million questions and no one batted an eye. They were quick to respond, offered great ideas and solutions and made me feel valued and special all along the journey. Everyone was an absolute DREAM to work with during the planning process. I would fire off random e-mails day after day as things would come to mind and the girls would respond right away. They shared ideas, suggested vendors and were always willing to work with me on changes. Truly top notch customer service!

    And then there was the wedding day... The entire team was calm, organized and in control the entire day and everything truly went off without a hitch. Maddie and the crew treated us like a King and Queen the entire night. Our drink glasses were full and we hardly had to lift a finger.

    I cannot tell you how many compliments we got from our guests on the Bell Centre - from the BEAUTIFUL venue and incredibly accommodating staff to the AMAZING food (who knew "wedding food" could actually taste THAT good?!?).

    Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true and the Bell Centre was a HUGE part of that. They are truly second to none. I cannot say enough great things about the Bell and all of their staff. I would choose them over and over and over again if I had the chance. The best of the best!

    I cannot say enough about The Bell Event Centre. Our guests were wowed with the venue, the FOOD, and everything about our night! Maddie handled working with all the vendors (which is a huge stress reliever!), and besides one very slight mishap on when to send the groom down the isle, everything went off without a hitch. I have a little trouble relinquishing control to others, but the staff at The Bell made sure everything was done to my liking. Everything was gorgeous and it was definitely a night to remember. Thank you staff at The Bell Event Centre!

    I can not say enough about how well our wedding was coordinated! We did not have a wedding coordinator, but you would NEVER know. Amy Nobbe worked with all our vendors to make our big day absolutely seamless. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor was exactly what is needed the day of your wedding. All of the decorations and details were perfectly displayed as directed, and the food was phenomenal. All of our guests had nothing but compliments to share about the venue. It is absolutely beautiful and I would HIGHLY recommend the Bell to all brides.

Maddie was so helpful and accommodating. The staff was excellent...the food...OMG...to die for. Last but not least the venue was amazingly beautiful!!! The murals, stained glass windows, the courtyard, custom lighting...everything was perfectly detailed down to the restrooms!!!

    The Bell Event Centre is an amazing venue to have a wedding! We recently got married there and had a great experience!! The Bell Event Centre staff is wonderful and very professional. Amy, my event coordinator, was there the entire night to make sure everything went smoothly. All of my ceremony decorations were set up perfectly and at the end of the night I didn't have to worry about cleaning anything up! Not only is the Bell one of the of the most beautiful places in Cincinnati, the food is amazing and the staff took care of everything so I was able to just have fun! Thank you Amy, the wedding was perfect!

    I would recommend this venue to every bride. The cost was a bit of a shocker at first but in the end it was worth EVERY PENNY!! I have nothing but wondeful things to say about Bell Event Centre. The staff is amazing to work with. The were very accomodating and on the day of the wedding were so attentive to myself, the bridal party and our families. They took care of EVERYTHING. I didn't have to do a thing and everything turned out exactly as I had imagined and better. The food is incredible and the wait staff was so polite. All of our guests raved about the venue and the service. I truly could not be happier that I chose Bell Event Centre as my ceremony and reception venue. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for everything they did for me and my wedding. BRAVO!!!!!!

    The Bell Event Centre couldn't have been a more perfect setting for our New Years Eve wedding. Everything turned out so beautiful. Amy and her team did a fantastic job of setting up a romantic yet fun atmosphere for us to celebrate in. Amy was so accomodating with everything and she really made the planning process fun and easy. I strongly encourage any bride to just take a peak inside and you will fall in love with this place. The food here was amazing as well. The chef could be working at a 5 star restaurant as everything I ate tasted amazing!! I really hope someone I know gets married here so I can experience the location all over again and really take it all in. Thanks for putting on such a great venue for us!! Joy & Brian.

    The Bell is a great place to have a wedding! The staff is so helpful and flexible and willing to help in any way they can. I had a completely stress free day all because of the Bell and their staff. Everything went so smoothly and I wouldn't change a thing. Plus, the food is probably the BEST wedding food I have ever had. There were sooo many compliments on the food and service!

    We stopped by the Bell Event Center on a whim while looking at other venues in Cincinnati. As soon as my daughter and her fiance walked in, they knew this was where they wanted to get married! The old-world charm of this old church made it a unique venue. Kathy was the first contact person we met - gracious with her time even though we just showed up, and Amy was a joy to work with over the coming months - so helpful when we met with her for a food tasting (everything was delicious, presentation was elegant, menu choice was flexible). I think what "sealed the deal" in our minds was the convenience of using the same place for ceremony and reception, the speed in which they could convert the interior, and the on-site catering provided by a talented young chef and his staff. My daughter and son-in-law live in NYC, so there were many decisions to be made long-distance, but Kathy and Amy coordinated everything so well that it was pretty stress-free. Perhaps the best review came from the bridal couple, who were thrilled with the way everything turned out and friends and family still rave about how beautiful this venue was! Thanks again for a job well-done!!

    Cermony was GORGEOUS - I couldn't have asked for a better day. The BEST venue I could have ever asked for - the food OUT OF THIS WORLD and the service was impeccable - worth every penny! Kyle, the chef even made my mom's recipe venetian layer cookies that tasted SO good! It was a nice memory that he provided, not having her there (physically) on our wedding day. I can't give enough compliments about the service, quality of food, ambiance...simply outstanding!

    From walking in the first day, this beautiful renovated church was where my fiance and I wanted to hold our reception. The staff here went above and beyond our requests. At our tasting, my finance's mother was so impressed with the food that she questioned whether or not it would be that good on the buffet. It was excellent. When the head chef was slicing the London Broil and talking with my guests - they were too impressed (it doesn't help that Kyle is pretty cute). As the night went on, Amy, the coordinator for the event, was the only one to approach us and make sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. She, and all of the staff were so professional, and consistent with what they said they would do, and what they actually did. We would not change a single thing about our reception. From the food, to the fireworks overlooking the city, it was exactly what we pictured.

    Number of guests: 131

They were flexible and accommodating to every one of my needs. The food is unbelievable, as well as the service you get from them. We were able to have both our wedding and reception at the location with a gorgeous cocktail hour outside with wonderful food. The Bell staff is incredibly professional and they know how to get the job done. I could not ask for more to make my day so special. I would recommend anyone to use them, and you cant go wrong with such a gorgeous facility.

    I would give this venue 10 stars if I could. Everyone at Bell Centre is incredibly responsive and easy to talk to. They share their opinions and expertise when asked but they really do all they can to make your vision a reality. The venue offers everything you need to complete your tablescape, decor, and menu. It's a one stop shop for almost everything you need to plan your big day. The prices are competitive and you more than get your money worth with this venue. My fiancé originally chose Bell Centre and it was his best planning contribution!

    The Bell Event Centre was absolutely incredible to work with! While it is a little on the expensive side, the venue is extraordinarily beautiful and everything is done in house. They worked with us on quite a few changes we wanted to make and the day of went incredibly smooth for all of the moving parts we had, enough without a wedding planner!

    One of a kind venue. The beauty and ambience outshine any hotel or hall that we saw when planning my daughter and son-in-law's wedding and reception. A little pricey, but definitely would do it again and recommend to others. Maddie was exceptional; her professionalism and concern held the MOB together.

    We fell in love with this venue right away, and the wedding day did not disappoint. The staff at Bell made every last detail perfect. The ambiance was great, the staff were very professional, friendly, and quick to respond to any questions throughout the planning process. The day-of coordinator, Brooke, was patient,calm and in control and had a smile on her face the entire day/night. All of our guests raved about the food - and in my personal opinion the food was phenomenal. My minor complaint is the lack of lighting for things like the band, and my bigger complaint is the cost. Everything was very pricey and we only got 4 hours for cocktail hour and reception combined, so the evening went by very quickly. You can add on additional hours for additional cost. In general though, I am extremely pleased with the Bell Event Centre!!!

    Just had my daughter's wedding at the Bell Event Centre. Wow, what can I say this place is exceptional. The service, the oustanding menu, the ambiance, everything. This is a top knotch place that deserves 5 stars and then some. Amy is truly the best. She keeps things moving and on track with such ease. There truly are not enough words to say how outstanding this place is. I can only hope that my other daughter will also want her wedding here.

    You have to visit to believe it. The Bell Event Centre is actually a decommissioned Catholic church and it is absoutely stunning. There are floor to ceiling stained glass windows, a beautiful courtyard for a cocktail hour overlooking the city and an amazing altar with candles for the ceremony. The wait staff is great and the food is incredible. Our wedding was an absolute blast and I would highly recommend the Bell Centre if you can afford it. Hint - Friday events are much less expensive than Saturday.

    We loved, loved, loved The Bell Event Center from the ambiance to the food it was all spectacular. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the location was and how amazing the food tasted. We were supposed to have an outdoor cocktail hour between the ceremony and the reception but rain forced us to stay inside. The staff did an amazing job of flipping the space over in record time around our 250 guests. My only complaint was that dinner took a bit longer to get out than we would have liked. However, with the amount of guests we had it is to be expected.

Was disappointed that we were not able to take a few pictures inside the venue as we wanted and do a few things that were previously stated that we could do and then the night of could not. Other than that Lori & Brooke were great to work with and everything went pretty much as planed. Couldn't a found a more perfect historic venue to work with a raised catholic bride and a non-affiliated religious groom.

    I was very very happy with the Bell Event Centre - they were great in most every aspect. They had worked with all of our vendors before which made this even easier. We were able to take a bunch of items for the reception to the Bell the week before and didn't hae to worry about a thing! The food was FANTASTIC and they were able to accommodate a few guests that we had with special diets. My only "complaint" so to speak is that they would not allow us to shut down the bar during the 1 hour dinner for a 5 hour reception with 4 hours of bar rather than 4 of each - they instead wanted to tack on an additional $800 or so to our already 15K+ reception. If you have the money to get all of the "updrades" (outdoor cocktail hour, extra hour of bar service, etc) then it is fabulous. As disappointed as I was we couldn't have 5 hours it truly was an absolutely wonderful event!

    Wonderful!! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful it was, how amazing the food was, and how much fun they had. For us it was worth every penny!

    The Bell Event Center made the best place for wedding. This old church is so amazing. It's very spacious, has enough place for everything, musician, reception. The food is very impressive, everybody is still talk about how good the food is...My dancing pictures are so pretty because of the painted ceiling of the church.
    This is the place if you want a beautiful and memorable wedding.

    I attended a wedding at the Bell several years ago and fell in love with its romantic charm. That was why it was the only place I considered having my wedding. Up until the day of the wedding I would have rated this place a 5. Our coordinator, Maddie, was great to work with and the whole staff was very attentive throughout our year of planning. It wasn't until the day of the wedding that things didn't quite go as we had hoped, and to make things worse, it was the way that the staff went about handling it afterwards that left a bad impression on me and my family. You can see the full review in more detail on yelp. Hope it helps!!
