Bello Giorno Estate Reviews

We had our wedding here on the 20th Sep 2024. And it was magical, we were blessed with beautiful weather so we were able to have our dream wedding outside in the gazebo. The grounds are beautiful very picturesque the river running around the property is so tranquil so we got some beautiful pictures. Monica and her team went above and beyond for us, Stephanie was at hand for any query we had everything ran smoothly and stress free, the food was abundant and absolutely delicious and fantastic value, all our guests were very complimentary about everything on the day, we loved everything about the day and everything and can't recommend the Bello giorno enough..

WHOAHHH!!!! I had to take a moment to do a review of Bello Giorno Estate. My fiancé and I are extremely impressed by this place. I feel absolutely grateful and blessed to have found them! We researched several venues to ensure that my future husband and I were getting the perfect fit for our wedding within a decent budget, and we had trouble finding the right location in New York and New Jersey. We made countless phone calls and trips to talk to the owners of different estates and hosts and to see how the venues were inside. Some of the places we checked were money-hungry. However, finding Bello Giorno Estate was our biggest blessing in terms of venues. No other place compared to the quality, attention, and kindness we received over the phone from both Monica and Stephanie. They were beautiful, kind, very sweet, resourceful, and accommodating in facilitating our nontraditional wedding on our budget, while keeping their quality of service, nature, and elegance at their core.

Entering the premises, we were both a bit nervous. The first thing we read was a sign that said, “enter as strangers, leave as family.” We thought it was a very nice quote, but never would have imagined that Monica and Stephanie would embody this very quote to the fullest!

We drove over an hour, stayed for a tour of this spacious, elegant premises, and then had a meeting for about an hour with both of them. They took their time to learn our vision and learn from us, as we learned from them. This tour and meeting changed our entire demeanor about our wedding. The feelings of anxiety that we had when planning our wedding within a 4-month time span turned to peace and excitement. We felt so at home, and we were extremely confident that they had and have our backs and want to bring our vision to life. This is the kind of customer service that would prompt anybody to want to leave a heartfelt review. This kind of service stands out tremendously because it is so welcoming that you feel such a load of gratitude.

Monica and Stephanie run a family-owned business with all the accommodations that you can imagine. The bride and groom get their own beautiful and comfortable suite, which they are able to use for a sufficient amount of time prior to the ceremony and during if needed. There are multiple options to host your ceremony in (2 outdoors options, indoors, and outdoor with accommodation spaces). The food tasting was absolutely incredible and made me very happy to know that I've got new Italian family members! The dedication to detail that both Monica and Stephanie provide has been phenomenal, and we highly recommend this venue for weddings or any celebration.

The space is stunning! With a river stream that runs behind the property, my fiancé and I are excited to take pictures during our wedding and capture the beauty. Overall, Bello Giorno Estate is a truly unique space of beauty, peace, and luxury wrapped in a giant gift of kindness. This process has been unforgettable, and I'm confident that on our wedding day, it will truly be a ‘beautiful day’ and wonderful memory. Thanks again, Monica and Stephanie.

I was fortunate to be involved in my nephew’s wedding/reception at Bello Giorno! Immediately, I could tell that the owners knew exactly what they were doing. They were professional and flexible and offered guidance/suggestions in a kind and gentle manner. The suggestions they made were spot on! The entire staff (during the reception ) were punctual, professional and interacted nicely w/guests. Also, several of the guests had dietary issues which were accommodated ( and delicious!)! I highly recommend BELLO GIORNO to you! Superb and lovely event!❤️

The beautiful grounds of Bello Giorno helps you escape into your own world. The gardens and scenery reminds you of a fairytale. The beautiful venue space is so special and welcoming. It's been a pleasure working with everyone and being able to have the most magical day to look forward to.

Absolutely stunning venue! Monica and her staff are the nicest people you'll ever meet, the planning process has been so easy and stress free, I wouldn't choose another venue to have my wedding at, also the food is absolutely AMAZING.

Go here for a personal, intimate touch. Right from the start, Monica Schiano, Bello Giorno's Wedding Coordinator made it personal, she truly wanted our life's best day to be perfect for us. Her heart is sincere and it shows! Stephanie, Bello Giorno's top bridal assistant, was the shining star of the event. Stephanie walked us through the rehearsal, kept her phone on 24/7, and went THE EXTRA MILE for us! Both of these amazing ladies did WHATEVER they could to make it special and perfect for us, and they did it from the heart, never nickel and diming us. I feel that this is the best wedding venue in NJ. The venue is a perfect setting with a small, gurgling river bordering the property. The food is spectacular. Many of our guests said that this was the best wedding they've ever been to!

Bello Giorno did a phenomenal job of hosting our wedding reception in October. It felt as though they took care of everything, letting us enjoy the day stress-free. The very reasonably priced package included the cake and catering and the food was amazing! Also the venue has a very welcoming family feel, as personal as it is elegant, and the staff are exceptionally kind and friendly, from the manager to the bridal assistant to the bartender and butlers – they made us feel like we were among family.
Throughout the planning process, Monica and Stephanie were just a phone call or text away, highly responsive to our questions and with an exceptional attention to detail. The service we got from Bello Giorno leading up to the day, as well as on the day itself, was remarkable. We were able to personalize the wedding to our heart’s desire, with Stephanie and Monica supporting us every step of the way toward realizing that vision.
We had our ceremony at our church and came to Bello Giorno later in the day for the reception. Upon our arrival to the venue, being able to retreat by ourselves into the beautiful cottage behind the venue and have some cocktails and appetizers in private helped us to ground ourselves and take everything in. Staff were delicately attentive to us, making sure we had enough food and drink while also allowing for our space.
The grounds are gorgeous. Some guests were seen stepping outside during the reception and just admiring the water running by in the river, or holding low-key conversation, remarking on how pleasant the outdoors was.
The inside of the venue was just the perfect size for our wedding, large enough to give everyone their space while also small enough to allow everyone to be near enough to one another and mingle. Things came together more nicely than we could have imagined.
Ultimately, we can say with confidence that Bello Giorno helped make our day as happy as possible. And our guests concurred – they reported the event was charming and the food was delicious, and at least one guest made a point of urging us to write a positive review if we did not already plan to do so ourselves (though we did plan to!). Every guest seemed to be made to feel as honored, welcomed and taken care of as we the bride and groom felt, which was very important to us. We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests about the venue and their staff. They even went above and beyond to prepare special meals for some of our vegetarian and vegan guests!
We highly recommend Bello Giorno, especially if low-stress wedding planning and a warm, intimate family feel complemented by phenomenal Italian food are desired on your special day. If we were to do the day over, we would have it be just the same, and we would trust Bello Giorno to make it as perfect as they did the first time.
Thanks Bello Giorno for helping make our day unforgettable!

NO REQUEST OR DESIRE CAN NOT BE DONE! I have been to many places in my lifetime BUT BELLO GIORINO was THE BEST! Our wedding was one of the MOST ROMANTIC EVER and people are still talking about it weeks later! Monica and her staff could not have been more accommodating to us and our guests.

Do yourselves a favor! LOOK NO FURTHER! If you want A PARTY TO REMEMBER FOR A LIFETIME BELLO GIORINO SHOULD BE YOUR CHOICE!

From start to finish the staff at Bello Giorno was professional, helpful, caring, and easy to work with. The Wedding venue was beautifully decorated inside and out.
We were delighted with the menu selections and our guests raved about the entire meal. We would highly recommend Bello Giorno to any couple looking for the complete package in a Wedding venue. Kudos to Stephanie and Monica for helping to make our Wedding the most memorable and beautiful day of our lives.
Best Regards, Harry and Patti Santa

From the moment my Fiance and I stepped into the Estate we knew that this would be where we'd tie the knot! After having a tour with Stephanie, and meeting with Monica, we fell even more in love. They are so extremely pleasant, kind, and patient and the Estate is breathtaking!

I cannot begin to put to words how happy I am that my fiancé and I found this venue. The scenery is absolutely stunning! We immediately fell in love with the view of the river and the garden. Monica, Stephanie and the rest of the staff at Bello Giorno are wonderful people! They are so helpful and make it their mission to help your wedding day go as smoothly as possible. The food is also super delicious! They offer a variety of options that will cater to everyones preferences. I cannot wait for our wedding this upcoming September! If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue to host your microwedding, definitely go to Bello Giorno! You will not regret it!!

Bello Giorno is a beautiful venue to have your wedding ceremony and reception at. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we had our wedding and reception outside with the reception under an open-sided tent. It was amazing, and we would not have had it any other way! The scenery of the Pequest River, the lush garden atmosphere, the wedding cottage for the bridal party to use and freshen up in during the wedding, the amazing patio, the beautiful arch by the Wedding tree, and the gazebo are just the beautiful beginning of what Bello Giorno has to offer. The service you get is the best. Monica Schiano, Stephanie, and her wonderful staff go above and beyond to make a perfect day for you! Monica was so supportive and comforting when needed during the entire process, and always made time for us. Stephanie was very attentive, calming and made sure all was going smoothly during the wedding day. The food was plentiful and delicious! If you want an elegant wedding in a natural, garden setting or whatever your heart desires, Bello Giorno is the place for you and Monica can make it happen! Bello Giorno implemented all CDC guidelines.

This place was the best decision we made for our wedding venue. Getting married through the 2020 pandemic wasn't easy, but with Monica and her staff all were made possible. From beginning to end she made us at ease and our ceremony/reception was spectacular. She up above and beyond our expectations. From the food selections, ease of cake selections (which was included) and suggestions of DJ,officiant and photographers was such an calm process that there is no Bridezilla at this place. Our dream wedding came true with Monica and all her staff's help.Highly recommend Bello Giorno Estates.

Bello Giorno Estate saved our daughter’s wedding! After her Pennsylvania venue had to cancel due to updated COVID-19 indoor gathering restrictions, we stumbled upon Bello Giorno Estate and they came through for us, in a BIG way, with less than 2 weeks until the wedding! They were fully prepared for an outdoor wedding under COVID-19 restrictions, they handled EVERY detail with care and compassion, and the beautifully landscaped outdoor event with patio, arbor, gazebo, and tent-covered dining alongside the river turned out absolutely BEAUTIFULLY!!! We recommend it highly – as a first choice, not just a Plan B!!!

i had my daughter's baby shower at bello giorno estate. The staff was a tremendous help to me with setting up. The staff set up my dessert table so it made a beautiful presentation. Monica hung my clothesline and hung the onsies and outfits on it. This was a wonderful help to me timewise. During the shower they went to the tables and asked my guests if the wanted drinks or refills. They were helpful in many ways and even some guests commented on how wonderful they were. overall, they made ME look good. No other venue that I've used did what these girls did.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful Monica and Stephanie are to work with, you just have to experience them yourself! After cancelling our wedding with a different venue because we were so displeased, I miraculously found Bello Giorno and we are so relieved and delighted to be getting married there. Our original date was 6/20/2020, but we decided to postpone it until 9/12/2020 due to the pandemic. Monica could not have been more accommodating when I called her with my concerns! It was a seamless transition thanks to her kindness and flexibility and we are so very grateful! Not only is this venue absolutely beautiful, the food is fantastic! But the best part about having your wedding at Bello Giorno is that the minute you begin talking to Monica and Stephanie they just have a way of putting you completely at ease, with everything. When you ask questions they respond with patience and kindness, and when you have special requests they say “Sure! We can do that! No problem!” I just love talking to them because they truly make me feel like it’s going to be my day to have exactly what I want and that they will provide it! They are so professional about everything as well. I strongly suggest that you take a look at their preferred vendors as well. I did and I couldn’t be happier! Everyone affiliated with Bello Giorno is of the same thread...they also made me feel at ease and confident that I will get exactly what I want on our special day. I trust Bello Giorno explicitly. I am completely at ease and stress-free knowing that I have Monica and Stephanie to help guide me. I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND YOU BELLO GIORNO! I simply cannot wait for our big day! Much love to you Monica and Stephanie!

I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! We had to postpone our wedding, not once, but TWICE, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Monica was so accommodating and understanding and Stephanie has helped answer the many questions I have thrown her way. They made every effort to make this difficult time as stress-free as possible. You can tell this company is a family business that truly cares about their community and clients. Additionally, I have attended an event at Bello Giorno and the food and service was outstanding! Pre-pandemic, we had our tasting and the food was just as delicious as I remembered! I cannot wait to have one of the most memorable days of my life at this venue!

The staff at Bella Giorno were exceptional for my daughter’s wedding. At first meeting they make you feel like family. The venue is beautiful, the food is exceptional and the staff is wonderful. They could not do enough for us. I highly recommend Bello Giorno.

I recently got married and had my reception at Bello Giorno Estate. Everything was beautiful!! Monica and Stephanie are very easy to work with and very accommodating. The place is absolutely beautiful and the pictures we got by the river in the back are amazing. My day wouldn't have gone so smoothly with out the help of Monica, Stephanie and the rest of the staff. My priest walked in late because he was preaching a mass after our wedding and the ladies quickly heated up food just so he could have something to eat. You won't get that hospitality at any other venue. My only wish is that I wish I had more time to enjoy the place, utilize the cottage and enjoy the food. I can't thank you and the staff enough for the everything you did to make our day so special. thanks again!!!

I cant say enough wonderful things about Bello Giorno. First of all the food is amazing and their location is beautiful. From the first time we met with Monica and Stepahine we felt like we could trust them to help us plan out our big day. They went above and beyond to help us plan all the little details. They made our wedding day more beautiful than we could have imagined. Thank you Bello Giorno!

Everything about my wedding day at Bello Giorno was perfect. Stephanie, Monica and the entire staff made sure the day was as amazing for me as possible. The venue itself is breath taking with its location right on the river. Their internal decorations were an amazing added touch and I highly recommend the decor enhancement package because the way they add all the extra details is so beautiful. The bridal cottage is amazing to have for the bridal party and allows for a nice moment for the bride and groom to get away before the reception kicks off! The way they interact with all their bride’s vendors is truly wonderful, communication is great and they know what’s going on at all times. It never takes more than a quick glance around to find a helpful staff for anything you need the entire night. Stephanie and Monica gave me my dream wedding and i couldn’t recommend this place and this family enough. Also as a bride with food allergies, I knew I would be in good hands. I worked with them for almost two years to plan my wedding, emails back and forth and a few visits. As an out of state bride, they were overly accommodating and were willing to meet with me anytime I was in town. I cannot thank them enough!!!

I am not the girly girl type. Bottom line, Monica and Stephanie made my day so seamlessly incredible. I never imagined being married so young. It all comes with so much stress and the finances weren't something my husband and I were ready for. However, if you are like me and want your day to go perfectly, trust Bello Giorno to get the job done right for you! You will feel like the queen you are on your day!!! They were so efficient and professional with their service. I set the bar high since I've done several banquettes on my own for fine dining with a 75 to 150 person guest list. This is the staff you want. Anything you need they are there for you. Thank you Bello Giorno and a gracious thank you to Monica and Stephanie!!! We got our happily ever after

This was the 4th event I have booked with Bello Giorno over a span of 12 years and they continue to exceed my expectations every time! Amazing service. Fantastic food. Gorgeous grounds and venue

Monica and the whole staff were the best. If I needed anything through the whole process they were quick to respond to make my big day the best day ever. Everything I wanted from the food down to the table setting she helped suggest things I didnt even know would work well together. I definitely would recommend bello giorno to anyone. Thank you Monica:)

My husband and I got married here on 10/27/18. We were blown away by how beautiful our night was at Bello Giorno. The staff is BEYOND professional and accommodating. There is a little cottage in the back where my bridal party and I spent some time after pictures, and it was perfect! We had food and drinks and the girls were able to get dolled up again for the reception! Our reception room was decorated beautifully for fall and it was so cozy. Our guests were beyond comfortable and loved every minute of our wedding from the start of the beautiful cocktail hour to the very end of the reception! The food is the BEST we’ve EVER had and we got compliments the entire night on the food. The bartenders were on point all night and so accomodating. Monica is the owner and is the most accommodating and wonderful person to work with. Stephanie is the wedding planner and is hard working and will do anything she can to make your day perfect at Bello! We very highly recommend adding Bello Giorno to your list of venues to check out. You will not be disappointed and will have the best night of your life! The only bad thing is that it went too fast and we want to do it all over again!!!

I had a fantastic wedding! Monica and Stephanie made me feel like I didn't have to worry about anything, especially in the big day! They let me decorate however I wanted, I changed the menu a few time (sorry) lol and everything was just so beautiful. My big day was even better than I imagined! I was stunned when I walked in and saw how everything came together! The food was delicious and every staff member was great! Everyone had a great time! We thank you again!

Wonderful beautiful place enjoy it so much I would recommend this place to everyone food was exceptional and service

I had an October wedding here at bello ! I was so over the top pleased with the experience from the day we booked till the day of the wedding. Everything was made so easy for me. Monica attended to every detail and concern my fiancé and me had. The day of the wedding was very smooth and none-stressful Steph was a dream helping get ready keeping me on a time track and making sure everything was put together. Tanya and Monica made sure all my Guest were happy and taken care of every step of the way. My guests are ranting about the food and service. we could not have picked a better place for our dream day ! We will be returning for other events .

Beautiful venue tucked away in Warren county. Outdoor Riverside ceremony very peaceful. Enjoyed a lovely evening service and food were great as well.

Bello Giorno Estate was the perfect spot for our spring wedding. Our wedding was on the smaller side and we had visited other venues that were just too large and too expensive. We came upon it totally by chance in a Google search and immediately planned a visit. Sitting down with Monica and Stephanie, they walked us through everything and wrote up an estimate on the spot. Even after finalizing our contract, they were super helpful and responsive with all of our questions. We made several visits and fell in love with the property more and more. Even our guests said that we undersold how beautiful the scenery was. You get a lot for your money at this venue. The food is amazing and they pack it up for you at the end of the night. You get a day-of-coordinator who is there throughout the process taking notes and tending to your every need day of (thanks Stephanie!). You get the outdoor element if you're blessed with a nice day, which we were. But even if you're not, they have an indoor plan B option so you don't have to worry about the extra expense of a tent. They started in the restaurant business and they're family owned, and it really meant a lot having the owner there all the way until we caught the bus home (thanks Monica!).

Word of advice, there are a lot of venues in the area and very few hotels. The closest hotels are 20 minutes away from the venue with no traffic so block your hotels ASAP.

AMAZING...is all I have to say, we had our wedding reception here on 3/10/18. It couldn't have been better. Monica and staff are so accommodating, and helpful. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was exceptional. They made everything look how I envisioned and we are still receiving compliments on how awesome everything was. I cant say enough good things about this venue. The picturesque views of the river and the grounds were breath taking. The best day ever!!!

My husband and I were married at Bello Giorno on November 26, 2017. We had the most beautiful wedding ceremony and reception imagined. The ceremony room was set up beautifully, the room overlooks the picturesque grounds with the beautiful river, the sun was shining and it was absolutely breathtaking. The staff was great! They are friendly, professional and handled every detail with care. The attention to detail and ensuring the day was perfect was exactly what Monica Schiano and her staff had described during our initial meeting and at the food tasting. So special that they remembered one of our sons loves Chicken Francoise and they had a special plate ready for him, not part of our buffet. The buffet was outstanding -- no one left hungry or disappointed! If you're looking for the special touch and perfect day without worries, I strongly suggest Bello Giorno for your wedding or event. Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful Bello Giorno is and how great the food was! Ask for Monica, you won't be disappointed!

Bello Giorno made my wedding day absolutely perfect! From the first look at the place to the end of the wedding day, Monica and Stephanie were there every step of the way and reachable at any time. Monica was always available by text or email with any questions or changes I had. They took care of all the small things I never even thought of, they made my planning incredibly easy. The venue itself is gorgeous, it was a beautiful outdoor ceremony by the river, and a lovely intimate reception inside the banquet hall The bridal cottage was spacious and perfect for getting ready, it was wonderful to use for a private cocktail hour after the ceremony for the two of us. The food here is amazing!! We went with he buffet dinner. They had a nice list of items to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. They were very understanding of special diets, all of my gluten free guests were taking care of and told me it was some of the best gluten free pizza they've ever had. They were also very flexible in making changes to sauces and preparations of dishes. Stephanie, my bridal assistant, made sure everything was taking care of and that there was always a drink in my hand the day of! The price was incredibly reasonable for everything that was included. The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dinner, cake, bar everything Bello Giorno had to offer was perfect and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smaller, intimate wedding! Love them!

From the moment we went to Bello Giorno and met Monica we knew that this was the place for our daughter's Sweet 16. Her special day was held on July 14th, 2017. The staff was flexible and accommodating, the venue was beautiful and immaculate, the food was delicious and the gardens were majestic, and perfect for outdoor pictures. I would recommend this venue for all parties and small weddings. They even have a separate cottage for brides to get ready in that is so cute and large enough for her bridesmaids. Thank you Monica and staff for making her day so memorable.

Choosing Bello Giorno for my wedding venue was the best decision I made during the hectic planning process. Especially as a student currently living out of state, Bello Giorno made planning my wedding so easy as they provide everything you need for a wedding at one place for a great student-friendly price. They have a gorgeous ceremony area by the river as well as delicious catering on site (cake is provided by an outside bakery, and is also included in the cost). They also provide all the decorations you need, including but not limited to floral swag for the gazebo, white tulle and lights for the banisters, linens and table runners in many colors, and even draped cloth from the ceiling all at no extra cost after booking the venue! Monica and Stephanie, the wedding coordinators, were simply magical. I have never planned an event this big, and I expected the day of the wedding to be hectic with trying to stay on schedule while coordinating the food, photographers and DJ, but Stephanie and Monica kept everything moving and kept all the vendors on time and the guests happy. I was able to simply enjoy my wedding day without any worry. They were even able to accommodate a guest who had recent health issues and requested a low sodium plate last minute. Although it rained on my big day, the indoor ceremony in the sun room was still beautiful and Bello Giorno staff quickly converted the ceremony room into the cocktail room without a hitch. They shuttled me between the cottage and reception hall with umbrellas and Stephanie's car, and my dress remained pristine! Also, kudos to Stephanie for figuring out my bustle!!! THANK YOU, BELLO GIORNO FOR A PERFECT RAINY WEDDING DAY!

I highly recommend Bello Giorno as a wedding venue. I had my ceremony and reception there this past weekend and words cannot describe how grateful I am to Monica and the rest of the team. The venue is beautiful, food was delicious, and the service was A+.

Monica & Stephanie are the absolute best at what they do. They went above & beyond to make our day stress free & so much more than we ever dreamed it could be. With much love & gratitude for the entire staff at Bello Giorno. Cindy & Phil.

Loved them people are still talking about my wedding! Monica and stephanie did a great job! Beautiful place!

After about 9 frustrating months of searching for a venue (and being on a budget) I was very fortunate to find Bello Giorno. Monica was the first person we encountered who really listened and understood what we envisioned for our wedding. Throughout the planning process Monica was very accessible and accommodating, and always quick to answer my very many questions.
We got married on June 25 of this year and everything about Bello Giorno was absolutely wonderful. The venue was beautiful, the food was incredible and the staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. We could not have hoped for a more amazing day.

I can not rave about this venue enough! The setting is gorgeous. The food is phenomenal. The staff is amazing! Monica was so accommodating and Steph was the biggest help a girl could ask for! My guests are still commenting on what a beautiful wedding it was! The whole process went so smooth thanks to the amazing staff. We were married July 3rd and I miss them already!

Monica and her team at Bello Giorino really know how to help your dreams come alive when you are planning a wedding. They were so wonderful when I was planning my special day. They were so quick to get back to me when I had a question. So sweet and so thoughtful. I really had my dream wedding and it was all thanks to Bello Giorino!

I recently has my wedding at Bello Giorno. Everything was perfect. When I arrived the day of I didn't have to do one thing. The staff was always friendly, was interested in my needs, always answered my questions and made everything look exactly how I had wanted it to be. From the beginning nobody was pushy about me booking the venue, answered all my questions, the food tasting was amazing, the vendors they recommended were perfect and I always received responses back within a day. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful reception hall and outdoor wedding ceremony as the outdoors is beautiful.

I would highly recommend Bello Giorno for weddings or any event for that matter. They went above and beyond to make our wedding on 10/3/15 special in EVERY way possible. When we first went and looked at Bello Giorno we fell in love instantly. They have a beautiful gazebo in the back, a river, and a little cottage where the bride and her bridal party get ready. There was so many options for food choices, they included favors and glass center pieces. They had tons of linen colors to choose from, chair bow, table runners and napkins (we were allowed to choose two colors). They allowed us a small tasting before to seal the deal and another tasting after we booked to make our menu choices. All the choices we made for our menu were delicious but my favorite was the Chicken Toscano. The owner Monica was great to work with. Always answered emails fast and was pleasant to speak with. My wedding day was right when we were “supposed” to get a tropical storm and needless to say this girl was freaking out. I called Monica with concerns she talked me down and kept me calm. She even reached out to me a couple days later to see how I was holding up and telling me it was going to all work out. (Thankfully it did) I cannot thank the staff enough. They did every possible to thing to accommodate Daniel’s mother who is wheelchair bound even provided heaters so she could sit outside for the ceremony and make sure everything was perfect. But I need to send a BIG thank you to Tania. When I met her I instantly knew I was going to love this girl. She answered every email instantly and reassured me every step of the way that if anything shall happen it will all be taken care of. My dress got ripped on accident and Tania was right there fixing it. She made sure I was able to sit and eat my food in peace for 5 minutes asking everyone nicely to come back in a little while so the bride and groom could enjoy their food.

Recently a guest at a wedding and I must say, beautiful ambiance and the food is phenomenal!

The wedding of my son and daughter-in-law was absolutely beautiful. Bello Giorno has such a beautiful setting, with the Pequest river in the background and manicured lawns for picture taking. As soon as they showed me the place, I knew it was fitting for them to have picked it. Monica and Stephanie and the entire staff were very attentive to all our guests. I am not sure we could have laced up the back of the wedding gown without Stephanie's help. From the setting, to the food , to the staff, everything flowed smoothly. The guests kept asking how did we find this place. A big thank you to my son and daughter-in-law, as they found it thru Mama's Baci Café in Hackettstown, the sister restaurant to this venue which provides the catering. The guests complimented the setting, the food, the whole venue. Thanks, Bello Giorno, for making my son's wedding the best!

This Venue was absolutely beautiful. We got married under the tree outside instead of the gazebo and were so happy with our choice! Stephanie and Tania were both extremely helpful the day of the wedding.. there were things I could have easily gotten upset over from our florist missing flowers but the girls took care of everything to make sure I didn't have a single stress on my wedding day!! They made sure the groom and I were fed and well hydrated!! We are so extremely pleased with the overall services provided by Bello Giorno we are hoping to have a party there in the future just to celebrate a birthday or anniversary! Monica is always available to answer questions and provide any and all help she possibly can! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding day!! The food was phenomenal, people are asking us where they can get certain dishes for themselves!!

I can't begin to explain how amazing the staff at Bello Giorno is. They take care of every need, and make sure you don't worry about anything. They are also very accommodating, sweet, and make sure your day is amazing. I couldn't be more pleased with my wedding day. It was perfect.

Monica and Staff (Stefanie & Nicole) were outstanding!! We were treated like king and queen and waited on hand and foot. Attention to every detail, professionalism, the beautiful location and facility, the incredible food, everything was awesome. Monica an staff couldnt have been more accommodating, we had last minute add ons, special diets, allergic reactions, early family members showing up...Monica handled it all perfectly, and kept us calm. Monica has become part of our family, she treated us as if we were own, she is special. Highly recommend Bello Giorno!

My husband and I renewed our vows at Bello Giorno last week for our 15 year anniversary. It was the best day of my life! Bello Giorno delivered everything they promised when we first met with them, and more than exceeded our expectations on our special day!!!! The venue is beautiful, picturesque and transforms you almost into a different place. The good is amazing , and we got to take our leftovers home with us! We are back from our honeymoon enjoying our lovely wedding dinner! Working with Monica makes the entire process seamless and stress free. Her staff is truly amazing and made all of our guests feel comfortable and at home. The service is beyond wonderful! We truly had the best day ever, and would recommend anyone to consider bello giorno for their next event! Everyone who attended our wedding could not stop raving about the place! We are hoping someone we know has a party there so we can return again and enjoy this beautiful place!!!! Highly highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

From the second we pulled into the parking lot, we knew that this venue was the place for us. The setting is breathtaking and very private and was exactly what we were looking for. Each and every time that we spoke with Monica and her staff all of our questions were answered and everything we asked for was taken care of. Each time we visited to sort out details or to do our tasting, it started to feel like we were visiting with old friends instead of vendors. The service was impeccable and our guests are raving about the location, the staff and the food. Monica, Tania and Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was absolutely perfect and our day turned out better than I ever could have dreamed. I made my own wedding cake and it fell over in the car on our way to bring our decorations and Monica simply wiped my tears away and promised to fix it for us. AND fix it they did, the cake was perfect and no one could even tell that anything had happened to it. Our wedding was perfect thanks to everyone at Bello Giorno...what a wonderful team! I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion.

We had our dad's 80th birthday party at Bello Giorno, the atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the service was wonderful. All of our guests really enjoyed their selves, but most important Dad had the best birthday!

Bello Giorno does an amazing job at making your day simply perfect. From the planning of our day to the tastings to the actual day of - it was simply a pleasure and stress free process. We were engaged in March and had our ceremony in October and not a thing was missing from our day. In fact they went over and above our expectations - Our ceremony was in the gazebo by the water and the area was decorated beautifully. Inside the dining area was just a gorgeous - The food is delicious - the staff Monica - Tanya and everyone couldnt have been more helpful throughout our day and that is a understatement! Love them!! We highly recommend Bello Giorno for weddings, holiday partys, family gatherings - you will not be disappointed!

There is not one negative thing that we can say about bello giorno. They made our day absolutely amazing! The staff are the nicest people and will do anything to make your day exactly what you want it to be! The food was FANTASTIC!!!! All of our guests are still telling us what a great time they had!

Hmmm...where to start! I've tried to give myself time because I want to make sure I get through to everyone how ABSOLUTELY PERFECT Bello Giorno made our Wedding Day!

The location alone left our guests speechless and wanting more,the beautiful decorations inside and out (that they put up), the cottage us girls got ready in, the beautiful river out back next to the Gazebo, we found more than the photographer taking pics of us...everyone wanted their own pics in this surreal setting! From having a bridal assistant at my beckon call from day one to having 2 assistants the day of that kept everything 100% on track. The food was the best Italian food most of our guests ever had (which, at the tasting we had 6 people and took home all the leftovers too!!). I could go on and on but the workers really topped it off. They were there to truly make our day flawless, enjoyable and most of all, memorable! I can't say enough about how Bello Giorno made our day more than we ever dreamed of!!! We still have family members and friends talking about how amazing EVERYTHING was!! Thank you a thousand times over!

Our wedding day was great. Tania and Monica were fantastic to work with. The food was amazing and everything that day was beautiful. It was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!

We had a wonderful wedding at Bello Giorno! Monica and Tania were wonderful. The grounds, bridal cottage, gazebo and inside the building were all beautiful. They went out of their way to accomidate my mother in law who was in a wheel chair. It was a stress free day. The food was delicious. Honestly I cannot think of one negative thing. We love Bello Giorno,Tania and Monica so much, I had my parents 50th anniversary party and my mothers 70th birthday party here. We entered as clients and left as friends!

What a perfect place to have a wedding. We could not have been happier with our September wedding. Everything was taken care of for us, and it was a stress free day. If you are looking for a romantic and intimate place to have a ceremony, Bello Giorno has a beautiful gazebo next to a river. The reception we had was so much fun and the food was excellent. We have been told by many guests that our wedding was the best they've ever been to. It was perfect.

Tonya, Monica and staff planned this wedding in approximately 6 weeks! They went above and beyond to help serve the Grooms grandparents that were in wheelchairs and serve them and make sure they had everything they needed and more! The professionalism and organization of this Wedding was simply amazing! The Food was great the place was great and the staff again I cannot stress enough I would recomend them to anyone that is in need of wedding planning, catering ect. ...... Thank You for Making my nephews day a very memorable Day!! ... Peter and Debbie Pappas

This is going to be my most difficult review, because there are no words to explain how much I appreciate Bello Giorno and their staff. Every detail we had discussed ahead of time, as well as the details that popped up on the day of, were attended to so professionally and efficiently. The food and service was impeccable, but even more importantly, our ceremony was on their grounds, and it was perfectly attended to. Monica, the manager, was perfectly understanding of our budget, as we were paying for the wedding ourselves. She put together a perfect package for us that created a casual atmosphere, exactly the way we wanted. Every email to Monica throughout the planning process was personally handled quickly. And the GROUNDS! Oh, the landscaping will take your breath away. The bridal assistant, Tania, makes you feel like she's been your best friend your whole life. I didn't have a bridal party and I didn't need one. Tania was by my side whenever I needed her. The rest of the staff was invisible in the most perfect way. My wedding day could not have been any better anywhere else. Truly perfect. PERFECT!

Monica H Tanya are two of the most amazing girls you would ever want to have on your wedding day! They cater to your every need, your wish is their command, and there's nothing these girls can't do for you. They took such great care of my girls & I on my wedding day. Bello Giorno was the best place to hold your wedding & reception. The grounds were gorgeous, the decorations went well with my wedding theme and the food was totally delicious!! My guests wereloving every dish and the warm hospitality they received from Monica, Tanya & their staff. My pictures were taken at Belllo Giorno and they were beautiful!! I didn't have to think that day, just followed Tanya's lead & everything was smooth sailing!! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have my wedding any other place but with Monica & Tanya at Bello Giorno!! Thank you Both for a stress-free & totally beautiful & unforgetable day!! Love You Both!!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Monica, Tania and the staff of Bello Giorno. My husband has special dietary needs (gluten free) and on my wedding day, I and my husband were made to feel like a king and queen. My husband was served a special meal that he could enjoy, and I enjoyed the endless array of food prepared for our wedding day. We had our ceremony along the river, and when I close my eyes I can still hear it flowing river near us as we said our vows. I can go on and on, to say so many wonderful things. We enjoyed a private cocktails in the cottage, and felt catered to the entire day. Tammy Long

Dear Monica, Tania and the staff of Bello Giorno,

Stan and I do not have enough words to define our appreciation for your outstanding services on our wedding day. All the guests said it was the best wedding they have attended in a long time. Our wedding was truly a dream come true thanks to your professionalism, hospitality and dedication to meet our needs. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD; above and beyond what a bride can expect, and I ate on my wedding day! How many brides can say that? Well, I can  I highly recommend Bello Giorno for any bride who desires a breath taking wedding day!

Where to start, where to start? My fiancé and I are planning a wedding at Bello Giorno in May. Did I mention we are planning it from Florida! Yikes! Over the past several months I have been in contact with Monica via email and phone. Jon and I met with Monica and Tania in September for the first time. What an amazing duo! Monica is the event coordinator and Tania is the wedding assistant at Bello Giorno. It was so nice to finally put faces to people that have been so kind to us. We had a complimentary food tasting, and crossed the t’s and dotted the I’s to the final details. I can not believe how accommodating Monica and Tania have been, what an amazing duo!
Jon and I looked at Bello Giorno for the first time! The pictures on line, do not lie. This place is amazing. The river, the gazebo and the bridal cottage everything a girl needs on her wedding day. I can rest assured that thus far our wedding plans have been taken care of and can only see amazing things in May. Jon and I are so excited to be married!

My best friend had her wedding here, and she could not have been happier. Two years later and we are still talking about the beautiful river views, private cottage, and her amazing outdoor ceremony. Julia, (my best friend) even had a wedding assistant that day, she was amazing. Julia was able to enjoy her day without any worries, and as her maid of honor it was nice to enjoy the day stress free! Julia was able to enjoy every aspect of her day. From cocktails in the cottage, to pictures by the river every moment of the day was amazing. I highly, highly recommend Bello Giorno to any bride looking to enjoy their wedding day!

Where to start? Tom & Monica were great to work with. They provided a bridal assistant. Everytime I needed something she was right there! We planned on having the ceremony outside but the weather was ify that day and we moved it inside. I could not of been happier! They were very willing to work with us on pricing and the food...OMG! It was delicious! Our food tasting was like a thanksgiving meal. We all should of wore sweats! If your a busy person like we are, you'll be happy to know that Monica responds to your emails and is very flexible with meeting with you. If you had centerpeices, etc. You can drop them off to her when your ready to and you don't have to worry about forgetting anything. We were able to bring everything to the rehearsal (anything that we needed for the wedding, our dresses, etc.) and everything was all set up in the cottage when we arrived for the wedding.

This is a wonderful location for pictures as well. There is a gazebo on the property with a river right behind it. As well as a cottage for the bridal party to get ready in, which is also a wonderful place to take pictures!

They provided a lovely and romantic/intimate setting for the ceremony/reception. It was everything I ever dreamed of and more. All of our guests are still raving about it. From the food to the drinks (the bar was open as soon as the guests arrived), everything was more than perfect. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Monica and staff were amazingly helpful, kind and professional. The Venue is gorgeous and intimate.
The food was great.
We had an amazing day, we couldn't ask for more.

Monica and the staff made our wedding day perfect. The quality of service and professionalism are beyond words. They are kind, generous and have 'Amazing' food. The Venue is beautiful and intimate.
Thank you for making our special day perfect.

Each and every person my husband and I dealt with at Bello Giorno was phenomenal. From the day we first met with Monica and Tania to the day of our wedding, they were all so helpful and made everything easy and stress-free, which meant a lot to us on our wedding day especially! Tania, one of the wedding coordinators, was by our sides the entire day, making sure everything was perfect for us. I would highly recommend Bello Giorno to future brides and grooms. They are very affordable and are willing to work within your budget and accommodate every special request or need you might have! The things that they offer in their packages, other venues do not typically include. But the best part--the people! And that is the most important aspect when it comes to any event.

We recently had our wedding with Bello Giorno and we could not have been happier with our choice. The entire staff was amazing. They used a box full of just extra decor we had from previous events to really customize our day! We keep receiving rave reviews about the service, location, and the food. All guests had an amazing time whether they were cutting a rug or just enjoying from their seats! Stephanie you were truly so wonderful and we absolutely loved having you as our go to person. It was hot and our guests truly appreciated that they were able to stay in the AC until the ceremony began. Again we were completely satisfied with all the staff at Bello Giorno and they truly go above and beyond to make sure a special day is the best day ever. Thank you for helping us make memories we will have for a lifetime!!!

Bello giorno catered our wedding beautifully, great location food was great. My only complaint is that it was very difficult to meet with the event coordinator our communication was basically via email or text hardly was able to get a hold of her over the phone.

The place it’self is absolutely gorgeous. But having to work with Monica was a nightmare. She was one of the rudest people I have ever met. The bridal assistant though Stephanie was very polite though. A lot of the stuff they advertise with their wedding package is misleading. Like for example they list a three tier custom cake. But then when we went to the bakery we ended having to pay an additional $800 dollars for our wedding cake because we didn’t pick from the package. I asked Monica if decorations were included. She said yes. Then the bakery turns around and tells me no. I got fondant snow flakes and sugar crystals that’s it. That’s what I paid $800 for. And Monica wouldn’t talk to the bakery at all, even though it’s the one bello giorno recommended to me. The bridal cottage was also listed as part of the packages but you can’t use it in the morning if you are not actually getting married there. Then you have to pay per hour.
