    La Bella Vista: A Dream Wedding Venue

    From the moment we first toured La Bella Vista, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding reception. The venue itself is simply stunning, with the elegant ballroom, picturesque outdoor spaces, and a breathtaking overall ambiance. However, what truly elevated our experience beyond expectation was the exceptional service and exquisite cuisine. Throughout the entire planning process, Todd's communication was impeccable. He was responsive, attentive, and incredibly helpful, ensuring every question was answered and every detail was executed. His expertise and guidance were invaluable in creating a seamless and stress-free wedding planning journey. On the day of our wedding, the La Bella Vista team exceeded every expectation. Tricia continually went above and beyond to ensure the day was stress free for my bride and I. The staff attended to our guests' needs with grace and efficiency. And the food? Unmatched. Every dish and appetizer was prepared to perfection, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and an artistry that delighted the palate. Our guests raved about the meal, and we continue to receive compliments on the exquisite dining experience La Bella Vista provided. Thank you all!

    Best day ever!

    My wedding at La Bella Vista was truly a dream come true! My husband and I had the best time and we are truly thankful for the staff at LBV for making it all happen. From the start of wedding planning, Todd was exceptional to work with, very detailed and straight forward. It's been 2 months since our wedding and we still have friends and family telling us how amazing the food was. Cocktail hour, dinner and the desserts exceeded our expectations. Thank you all so much for helping us have the best wedding day! - xo Kelly & Danny

    A Magical Experience!

    Trish and Todd made our experience from wedding planning to wedding day absolutely magical!

    Todd helped us plan our wedding with attention to detail and organization. And Trish and her team treated me like a princess from making sure my husband didn’t see me before the ceremony to carrying my train for me every time I had to walk anywhere.

    I didn’t have to think about a thing or lift a finger on my wedding day. The team had it all coordinated and guided everyone to stick to the schedule and make the day go smoother than we ever even expected.

    Aside from the exceptional service, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, the food is like a piece of art, and the pricing was very reasonable for how much you get out of their packages.

    I would highly, highly recommend La Bella Vista to anyone getting married!!!

    This vendor was exceptional and i highly reccommend them!

    Our Wedding was held at La Bella Vista in Waterbury, CT on October 19th 2024. La Bella Vista literally brought my fairy tale to life. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Todd was there for us every step of the way. His professionalism and experience at coordinating every detail of our day, especially focusing on us and our wants and needs, gave me every confidence that I didn’t have to worry that nothing would be left to chance. He went above and beyond to accommodate myself and 2 bridesmaids who use power wheelchairs. He created my own personal bridal suite on the first floor and made sure that the restroom was privately available when needed. Trish was our personal maître D. She was efficient, compassionate and attentive to our needs. When I got upset because I thought we were running behind, she was there to reassure me that everything was fine.
    The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor ceremony space was set up beautifully and although it can accommodate a lot of people, it still had an intimate feel. The grounds of Bella Vista are breathtaking with the colors of fall. The entryway and bar area are decorated perfectly for each season and is also perfect for indoor photos as well. The main ballroom is expansive and can accommodate large parties comfortably. It is elegantly decorated with your choice of linens and uplighting.
    The service staff were efficient and friendly. The food was 1st class. Everything from the hors d’oeuvres to dessert was phenomenal! We had so many compliments on the venue and the food, both during the wedding and for weeks after.
    For anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further!

    Beautiful and exceptional!

    Such an amazing venue and amazing people! Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Todd was so helpful through out the whole process and made it as easy as possible and Trish was fabulous also assisting us with any needs we had the day of! The venue is absolutely beautiful and we got married on their patio which is stunning on its own. Food is absolutely phenomenal! I got so many compliments from all our guests. If I could go back and do it all over I’d chose them again in an heart beat. I cant wait to work with them for any other special events our future holds! You will not be disappointed!

    Best Wedding Venue!!!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day! La Bella Vista was so attentive throughout the whole process but especially on our wedding day! We always had someone by our side asking us if we needed anything throughout the whole night. Being apart of many weddings as a bridesmaid/maid of honor I was often getting the bride a drink or tending to the bride and grooms needs throughout the night at other venues. Not realizing the quality of customer service that should have been provided as it was for us on our special day. One comment that one of our guests made to my husband and I after our wedding was, “the people that work at La Bella Vista are so friendly and always smiling” (specifically in this case that guest was making a remark towards the bartenders) the whole staff provided such a high quality of customer care and it did not go unnoticed. Andrew Razz was the most professional, responsive and detail oriented person to work with. He was great at giving us advice throughout the planning process and the guidance made our decision making feel so easy. You will not regret choosing La Bella Vista as the venue to host your most special day!

    I HIGHLY recommend La Bella Vista!!!!

    Our day was amazing from start to finish! Everyone that we came into contact with was so exceptional to work with! Our guests all raved about this being one of the best (if not the best) wedding that they ever attended! They were so impressed with every detail- but the food and drinks are truly unmatched! Trish and Todd worked with us so closely and every detail was perfect! If you're looking for a great place to have your wedding, please look into them! You won't regret it!!!!

    July 5, 2024

    Everyone at La Bella Vista, from Todd to Mary to Tricia, is by far the best. Todd is so quick to answer any questions at any time of day all days of the week. Tricia was constantly around my husband and I all day and night ensuring we had our drinks and if we needed anything. Our family and friends had the best time and we haven’t stopped hearing about how great the food was. La Bella Vista made my wedding the most beautiful and picture perfect moment that I had always dreamed of. I will always recommend them and wish I can redo my wedding just to have them all over again! And I don’t want to forget they looked at the weather up until 10 minutes before to ensure I can have my ceremony outside!!!

    Best venue!!

    We had the pleasure of working closely with Todd while planning our wedding! From our first meeting, he showed just how detailed, and diligent he is! He kept us on track, laughing and made wedding planning fun! We had a blast and are so grateful for Todd and the whole team at La Bella Vista. The venue was stunning and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the food was and the exceptional service! Looking back we wouldn’t change a thing!!

    Amazing experience!!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about La Bella Vista and the entire staff!! It is hard to put into words how truly amazing La Bella Vista is. From the moment we booked our wedding we felt at ease. Their commitment to excellence is evident throughout the entire planning process. Ashley was there every step of the way and provided helpful insight and recommendations to ensure our day was exactly as we had envisioned it. The quality and quantity of food is unmatched. We are still talking about the cocktail hour and our dinner, as are all of our guests! We are so grateful to the outstanding staff at LBV for ensuring that each of our guests had an amazing time. Ashley, Tricia, Andrew, and the entire staff-we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day dreams come true! It was everything we had hoped for and more. - Jason and Caitlin

    Wedding Review

    My husband and I got married at La Bella Vista 06/23 and we could not have picked a more perfect venue! From the start, it was a pleasure working with the staff and they are very organized. EVERYONE raved about our wedding and multiple people said it was the best wedding they have been to. We have the staff, the cooks, and the beautiful venue to thank for that!

    Best. Wedding. Ever.

    Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. This is the most gorgeous venue and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable, happy and taken care of from the moment we came to view the venue. Todd's attention to detail and organization immediately put me at ease. He was so responsive to all of my questions and ideas. Our wedding came together so beautifully and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I have never been to a wedding where things were just perfect from start to finish (EXCEPT for my own!) I recommend La Bella Vista to every couple looking for their happily ever after! ASK FOR TODD

    The best night of our lives!

    Let me start by saying the food was to die for! From the penne ala vodka, to the fish tacos and mini margaritas, to the chicken satay, to the Caesar salad, to the surf and turf, to the 5 station dessert bar we were in heaven!!! Our friends and family have pronounced themselves wedding snobs because La Bella Vista helped us create the most perfect, fun, beautiful, intimate, and personalized wedding. The beautiful ambiance and the welcoming staff made our wedding a dream come true. We knew the minute we walked through those doors when looking for a venue that we found the one and the food tasting only confirmed that! Todd eased my anxiety everytime I called him (and I called a lot) he connected us to vendors with ease and gave honest opinions. Todd was kind, loving, personable and truly embraced my family every meeting we had. I will forever be grateful for this venue and the people that made the night run so smoothly. My husband and I did not have to lift a finger or worry about any details because Todd and the Maître de’s took care of everything. Thank you La Bella Vista for the best night of our lives!❤️

    Everyone at La Bella Vista was amazing! Starting with Todd who helped us plan everything for our wedding and made our day wonderful!

    La Bella Vista is absolutely beautiful. This venue had all of my guests raving about its beauty. The food was amazing and delicious! Todd and Alena made everything run smoothly from the ceremony to the reception run beautifully. We had some nerves but Todd calmed us down and we enjoyed our Signature drink and everything else there! I highly doubt this venue & I’ll always remember everything about our wedding there! All of our pictures from the picturesque place are great!

    100/10 BEST venue by far

    If you’re looking for a perfect wedding - look no further! The staff went above and beyond exceeding our expectations. Andrew from the very start of the wedding planning was tremendous with guiding us in the right direction and very quick to answer any questions we may have needed. The day of couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guests are still talking about how outstanding the food was. Everything was beautiful. If I can give them a 100/10 then I am true to my word on that. Thank you LBV for giving us the wedding of our dreams - I would definitely check this venue out for any new couples looking to get married!

    Don't look at any other venue! This is the one!

    If you are looking for a wedding venue this is the place! I had my daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday 9/24/22. I have been in the hospitality, restaurant and service industry for over 40+ years and have never worked at an event that was executed so smoothly. The Event Coordinator, Todd was very easy to work with from the initial meeting with him until the day of the wedding. Every detail was executed perfectly. The property is beautiful. The staff courteous and professional. The Maitre’d Trish was on top of every detail and was with the B&G from before the ceremony until the end of the night. The food presentation of the passed hors d’oeuvres and stations for the cocktail hour as well as dinner selections was top notch and delicious. The dessert stations were over the top! I am still receiving compliments from my guests. They were blown away! I will definitely recommend LBV to anyone I know who is getting married!

    Perfect in every way!

    There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing LBV was in making sure we had the perfect day. From the planning appointments, to the rehearsal, to wedding day, it was truly perfect. The food is amazing, no one will leave hungry for sure, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. The staff really cares about making sure you have an amazing day and they were always right there to make sure we had everything we needed (especially Tricia). I would not change a single thing about our wedding at LBV & couldn’t have imagined a better day. Truly cannot recommend LBV enough.

    Amazing Food, Well-Organized

    We got married at LBV almost 3 weeks ago and guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and about how fantastic the food was. If you leave a LBV wedding hungry, it’s on you! Todd has a great sense of humor, an amazing shoe collection, and is very easy to work with. Patricia was our Maitre-D the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. She even held my veil during pictures! Cannot recommend them enough!

    100/10- La Bella Vista is AMAZING!

    La Bella Vista took care of us the entire day. I didn't have to worry about a single thing! They were always checking in on how we were doing, refilling our drinks, and making sure we were eating. They made the day feel like a dream come true!

    Beautiful venue

    Our reception was absolutely beautiful and we are so happy that we chose La Bella Vista. Todd was always on the ball and emailing back so quickly with all my questions and Trish was fabulous and on point the day of making sure my dress was perfect and we alway had a drink in our hands. The only thing I wish was that us and our guest were told about the hot hors d’oeuvres and pasta station. We had many guests not even know about them or the dessert stations.
