Ashley Sent on 11/11/2025A Dream Come True
All I can say is WOW! The venue is so beautiful and gave me Pride and Prejudice/Bridgerton vibes! There were beautiful chandeliers and a lit fireplace. The outside is just as beautiful as the inside.
The venue does it's own catering and the food was one of the biggest compliments our guests had about our wedding! The food was delicious and they cooked each steak to order! They have a large selection of appetizers and desserts and the desserts are insane! I was the talk of my friends in regards to the desserts as I got a Flambe station, a Smores station, a warm pretzel station, a Chocolate fountain station, and a couple more! So magical!
Let's talk about the staff...very professional, attentive, and caring. Whenever I reached out they responded without a couple of hours! They were very involved from day 1 and are very detail oriented. The day of my team was very supportive and I was given a wedding coordinator who was there for anything my husband or I needed. She even took some pics during our professional photos and sent them to me after my wedding! So thoughtful!
Highly recommend this venue and staff! Shout out to my team Todd and Tricia for giving me my dream fairytale wedding! -

Todd was amazing and from the very first tour he helped us picture the big day. He was always super responsive in emails and very helpful while planning over the last 2 years.
On the day of, Tricia (the maître d') was also incredible. She made sure everything was going according to plan. She helped coordinate with the photographers and DJ, helped with my dress, and made sure we were well taken care of.
The only real complaint we had about the night was that dessert was too late in the evening.. But it was well worth the wait. The display was incredible. -

There are no words to describe how awesome La Bella Vista is to work with! From the start, Todd was beyond helpful and made wedding planning so easy for us. He answered all of our questions clearly and in depth. Whenever I would shoot him an email, his response was almost immediate. Tricia was an absolute angel to work with on our wedding day. She was right by our sides making sure we were ok, directing everything and making the day went smooth. These two made our day & planning so easy and perfect for us. The venue itself is beautiful, and the food is beyond amazing. All we kept hearing after the wedding was “I never had a better meal”. The staff did an awesome job setting up and packing up all of our decor. We did not have to worry about a thing!!!! We highly recommend La Bella Vista!!!!! -

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than La Bella Vista. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of amazing.
The Food Was Outstanding
The culinary experience at La Bella Vista exceeded all our expectations. The hors d'oeuvres were absolutely fantastic – our guests couldn't get enough of them! But we were just getting started. The multi-course meal that followed had everyone completely satisfied and raving about the quality. After all those delicious appetizers, our guests were shocked there was even more incredible food to come. Everything was perfectly prepared and presented – truly chef's kiss worthy! The best part? It was all included in our package with no need for additional vendors.
Breathtaking Outdoor Setup
The outdoor ceremony space was absolutely beautiful. The venue went above and beyond by providing extra décor that perfectly complemented our wedding vision. The natural beauty of the grounds combined with their thoughtful touches created the perfect romantic atmosphere.
Exceptional Staff Service
The staff at La Bella Vista made our day seamless and stress-free. They helped set up our centerpieces and ensured every detail looked perfect. Our Maître D, Alina, was absolutely incredible – consistently on top of everything, always bringing fresh drinks and water, making sure the entire event flowed smoothly, and somehow anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. Most importantly, they made sure that my spouse and I actually got to sit down and enjoy our own wedding meal – something that doesn't always happen when couples get pulled in every direction!
Smooth Planning Process
Working with La Bella Vista was refreshingly easy. Todd was thorough in explaining everything we needed and provided us with a comprehensive checklist that allowed us to plan our entire wedding without needing a separate wedding planner. The team was also wonderfully flexible whenever we needed to make adjustments.
Perfect Photo Opportunities
The grounds and courtyard offer countless beautiful photo opportunities. Our photographer had so many gorgeous backdrops to work with throughout the property.
La Bella Vista truly made our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. If you're looking for a venue that combines exceptional food, beautiful settings, outstanding service, and stress-free planning, look no further. We cannot recommend them highly enough! -

Britnee Sent on 08/08/2025The most amazing wedding experience- Thank you La Bella Vista
I truly don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Todd and Tricia, who went above and beyond to make my wedding day everything I dreamed of—and more.
Todd, my incredible wedding coordinator, was a godsend from start to finish. He answered every single question I had, no matter the time or how small the detail. His calm presence, responsiveness, and genuine care ensured that everything ran smoothly and beautifully. Because of Todd, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes was handled with precision and heart.
Tricia, my amazing Maître d’, was equally phenomenal. She anticipated my every need before I could even voice it—from making sure I had my favorite drink in hand to pulling out my lip gloss from her apron just when I needed it. Her attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made me feel truly cared for throughout the entire day.
The entire staff at La Bella Vista—from the chefs to the servers to the bartenders—were nothing short of exceptional. Every person was polite, professional, and committed to making our celebration seamless and special. The food was outstanding, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere filled with joy and ease.
To Todd, Tricia, and the entire La Bella Vista team: thank you again for making my wedding day unforgettable. You didn’t just meet expectations—you exceeded them in every way. -

Jen Sent on 07/28/2025Best Wedding Venue - La Bella Vista
We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at La Bella Vista this July. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in great hands. The entire planning process was smooth, organized, and stress-free—thanks to the incredible LBV staff. We didn’t hire an outside planner or coordinator, but we never felt like we needed one. The team guided us through every detail with care and professionalism. We held our ceremony off-site and chose not to do a first look, which created a few timing challenges. The LBV staff worked closely with us to build a timeline that made everything flow beautifully. They made sure we had time for all the important moments—photos, introductions, toasts, dinner, and dancing—without anything ever feeling rushed. We were truly able to relax and enjoy the experience, knowing everything was being handled with care. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Guests are still telling us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. From the incredible cocktail hour to the beautifully plated entrees and desserts, every bite was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Many people were so full from cocktail hour (which felt like a meal on its own!) that they couldn’t finish dinner, but the LBV team had takeout containers ready so guests could bring leftovers home. That extra level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We also received compliments on how perfectly meals were cooked, especially the beef, which arrived at exactly the right temperature for each guest. Several guests even mentioned how the staff greeted them by name and made them feel welcomed and taken care of. The quality, quantity, and attention to detail were unmatched. During the reception, we felt completely supported by the staff. A special thank-you to Tricia, who stayed close by and helped with anything we needed—fixing my veil, keeping us on track, and making sure we always had food and drinks in hand. Her calm and kind presence added so much to our night. Every part of our experience, from the food to the service to the overall flow, exceeded our expectations. We’ve received so many compliments on how beautiful and well-run the day was. We’ll always be grateful to La Bella Vista and their incredible team for making our wedding feel like a dream. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding food, a professional and caring staff, and an unforgettable experience, La Bella Vista is it. We’d choose them again in a heartbeat. -

Emily Sent on 12/26/2024Incredible Wedding Venue!!
Working with the La Bella Vista team was an absolute pleasure during every step of our wedding! Andrew is so friendly and patient and we loved working with him! La Bella Vista does an amazing job of walking you through the wedding planning process to help make sure you’re staying on track each step of the way. Andrew provided several vendor recommendations as well. We ended up working with some of the suggested vendors and all of them were AMAZING. On our wedding day, the entire Bella Vista staff was incredible. Tricia in particular from a bride’s perspective was an absolute dream to work with. There aren’t words big enough to thank her for how comfortable she made us feel. From the moment we arrived at the venue to the moment we packed up, everything was executed to perfection. The food is top-notch, the grounds and interior décor are stunning, and the execution was absolute perfection. If you’re unsure about your wedding venue, please trust us – you will be so happy with La Bella Vista!! -

Rebecca Sent on 11/19/2024This 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! -

Andrew Sent on 11/11/2024La 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! -

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! -

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!!! -

Jasmine Sent on 11/29/2023The 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!❤️ -

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. -

Aimee Sent on 09/09/2022Superb venue!
My husband and I had our wedding at La Bella Vista at the end of June, and we could not have had a more perfect event, in no small thanks to La Bella Vista's staff and venue. We worked with Todd over the year leading up to the wedding, and he was so attentive and thorough through every step of the process. We planned the wedding long distance and he accommodated our limited ability to meet in person. He gave us detailed documents to organize the information he needed to execute the event, and thought of every detail ahead of time. We were in great hands!
We were also in great hands on the day of the wedding. Trish, the day-of coordinator, was present to anticipate our every need. She made sure to keep us hydrated on a hot day and made sure we ate after the ceremony. We didn't have to think of logistics at all - everything ran so smoothly and we got to just enjoy our wedding. That was priceless!
And every single staff member at the wedding was so friendly and welcoming and made everyone feel taken care of and at ease. My mother uses a wheelchair and everyone made sure she could get around as easily as possible. The staff was so attentive and considerate and it made such a difference.
Our guests could not stop raving about how much they loved the venue - everyone thought the space was beautiful (and we did not even bring in outside decor). And the food! Our meals alone were delicious, but we of course couldn't try everything. But multiple guests independently told us how much they enjoyed the food - from cocktail hour to salad, pasta, and entrees. Our guests were just as delighted with La Bella Vista as we were.
I also must note that for the quality of food and drinks, the venue, and the service we received, the pricing was more than fair, and I very much appreciated how transparent pricing was from the very beginning. We got our money's worth and beyond!
We recommend La Bella Vista wholeheartedly and could not be more delighted by every aspect of our wedding there. -

10/10 THE BEST venue!
We had our wedding at La Bella Vista this past June and we had nothing but the absolute best experience. Trish and Todd hit it out of the park. Whatever we wanted, they made it happen, no questions asked. We did not stress about anything on our day because the staff. And Trish made sure we got to experience all the food. Even if it meant feeding us in between pictures.
The food was out of this world. Still today, family continues to tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. If we did it again, we would 100% still go with La Bella Vista.
Thank you guys for an amazing day!

A dream come true
Truly the best venue around. I couldn’t ask for anything more. La Bella vista truly made every single one of my dreams come true. I would recommend this venue to anyone with full confidence. I couldn’t imagine how many of my wedding guest would be coming up to me letting me know that this was one of the best weddings they went too. The food was out of this world. Everyone went home completely stuffed and blown away. Linnea was my wedding coordinate for my special day. And she always went above and beyond for me and my husband. Told me everything I needed, made sure I didn’t forget anything and help me add my special touches to everything. Words can’t explain how grateful I am for this entire venue. No matter the weather (it rained on my wedding day), they were able to bring my ceremony in doors and it was so beautiful no matter what. La Bella vista is beautiful inside and out! Every single staff member, every single person who helped give me the best night of my life. I would for sure go to more events and book more events at la Bella vista. You will never be disappointed going there. Just make sure you go hungry, once again the food was incredible! -

The staff at la Bella vista are incredibly helpful and there for you every step of the way from the first day we met them until the day after the wedding! They are great people and excellent team members! No complaints at all from us! We postponed twice and they accommodated us each time. I had no idea how much the maître d’ does the night of the wedding, after the wedding we actually went back and left an additional tip for her and thanked her again.
I highly recommend them for any occasion.
You will not get better food or spread with desserts anywhere. We are very happy they made our longggg journey beautiful, elegant and amazing! One of the best nights of our lives! Ty to the whole LBV team! Love, missy & Gus Johnson xo -

I don't even know where to start. La Bella Vista went absolutely above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was not only wonderful but absolutely perfect in every way. My husband and I along with every single one of our guests have been raving non-stop about the food, service and drinks. We've had multiple people say it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended, and some asking about how we stumbled upon this hidden gem.
As for the staff: Trish was absolutely incredible and helped with every single small detail of the day (holding my humongous veil and dress train whenever there wasn't a picture being taken, bringing out fresh water for my husband and I, making sure all of the pre-brought decor was beautifully placed, and much more). Todd was extremely friendly and prudent with his responses to any wedding questions we had, along with checking in on the status of items we needed to get in order for the wedding (thankfully he did, we forgot about a few).
Covid has been an extremely difficult time for most, and planning our wedding in turn became highly challenging. La Bella Vista worked with us to accommodate changing our date three times, and were always open to discuss through email or hop on a phone call. We are extremely grateful we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! We are hopeful we will be able to attend a wedding there in the future, so we can fully enjoy the whole experience all over again. -

I’d like to thank Andy, Linnea and the staff again for everything! I am still getting calls and texts about the wedding and how amazing everything was, mostly complements on the food! I can not stress enough how wonderful Trisha was and how great she is at her job! From the moment I walked into La Bella Vista my stress melted away because of all of the efforts of the staff! The food was top notch and the staff was so professional and accommodating to everyone’s needs. I really can not thank the staff enough for making such a stressful time so wonderful, leaving me and my groom to enjoy our special day. Every request I made was taken care of and executed with flawless professionalism. With all of the craziness going on it in the world was so refreshing to be able to feel “normal” and comfortable at our wedding and all of our guests were able to experience that! Thank you times a million! Highly recommend this venue!! Best food at any wedding! -

From the first day we stepped into La Bella Vista, we knew this was the place we were going to get married. We met with Todd and he was always so reassuring, confident and thorough. Planning a wedding during a pandemic can be nerve wrecking, but Todd always knew what to say to calm us down! And we were so able we were able to have our absolute dream wedding at La Bella Vista on July 9th 2021! The morning rained non stop and with some tiny miracle, it cleared up by the afternoon and we were able to proceed with an outdoor ceremony!! Upon our arrival to the venue we were greeted by Trish and her team and they were so dedicated in making sure we had the best day ever! They always made sure we had a drink in hand, reminded us to drink water and prompted us to eat! We simply did not have to think! They made sure that we as the couple had the best night ever and we absolutely did! We had a 6 hour reception and it was the perfect length of time, we never felt rushed! The food at this place is unbelievable from the extensive cocktail hour to the large dinner plate, our guests enjoyed every last bite and so did we! Overall this was the best day ever and we will highly highly highly be recommending La Bella Vista to any and every one!!! -

We were married in May 2021 and cannot stop reminiscing about our perfect wedding day. Everyone says it was the BEST wedding they have been to and have been raving about the food. Hands down the best food I’ve ever had.
La Bella Vista was the ONLY venue we looked at. We knew immediately they were unique and a hidden gem! They have fair prices and customize everything to your request. Todd was absolutely incredible to plan our wedding with because he was extremely thorough, accessible and very likable from the first time you meet. He emails back within a day at most, most times within the hour! Just the best! The venue is so easy to work with and full of kind people. They give you all the guidance you need to plan your special day. Throughout the whole process with Todd, he never once said no to a single request, he made everything happen.
Much thanks to Trisha as well, she was such a trouper the day of our wedding ensuring we, the bride and groom, had everything we wanted. Really enjoyed the entire process with La Bella Vista! Highly recommend this venue, you will not be disappointed! Everything was perfect with beautiful scenery to take lots of pictures and a team ready to master your big day! -

Catherine Sent on 06/15/2021Gorgeous venue, amazing experience!
Got married here in May 2021 and I can’t say enough positive things! From the moment I first walked in the door and saw the beautiful lobby with chandeliers (and a fully stocked bar!), to the large gorgeous ballroom, and the terrace that lets you have as grand or as intimate a ceremony as you want, I knew this was the perfect place for my dream wedding. We worked with Todd throughout the entire process and he was wonderful. Very professional in terms of helping us plan, not to mention doing so through a pandemic, but also was a great listener when I needed to vent about wedding stressors (he’s seen it all) and didn’t mind sharing a few laughs with my family too.
On our actual wedding day, staff members Trish & Kim were super attentive to our every need, kept our drinks full, made sure we got to eat, and even helped bustle my dress when none of my bridesmaids could figure it out. The food is absolutely incredible (hands down the best filet I’ve ever eaten) and you’re given tons of options for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The day was a total blur to me but one of the things I’ll remember the most was how our guests were raving about the place and just how far above and beyond the staff went to make our day special. Will definitely be recommending this place to any engaged couples I know! -

We couldn't be more delighted with La Bella Vista, Linnea and the entire staff! They go above and beyond with helping plan out the entire wedding day experience! The food was 10 star quality! The decor is breathtaking! Linnea meets and exceeds perfect wedding coordination and works with her clients to provide an affordable day with many extras automatically thrown in! We highly, highly recommend this venue for a picture perfect wedding! -

Simply Amazing!
Our experience at La Bella Vista was truly a dream!!! My husband and I have been through the wringer this year trying to not only plan a wedding, but simply finding a way to make it happen during these crazy times! Our original venue had to reschedule our date to more than a year out, and then we had a plan B, which canceled on us ONE week before our wedding date! Luckily, our J.O.P recommended La Bella Vista immediately. The night that our wedding venue canceled on us was chaotic and heartbreaking, to say the least. Linnea was in contact with us that same night and put our mind at ease from the moment we began chatting. She quickly directed me to the "Tented Wedding" options for me to review. She quickly managed to schedule an appointment for us to come to the venue on the next day to make sure it was a good fit for us. Within 5 minutes of seeing the venue and speaking with Linnea, my husband looked at me and said "this is the place, we are booking right now!" Once Linnea and her team got the go ahead from us, they didn't skip a beat. You would never know that they pulled together our wedding within 6 days!!! I now truly believe that everything happens for a reason. We are SO glad that our "Plan B" option fell through for us and we were guided to La Bella Vista. I wish we booked at this venue from the beginning of our wedding planning. The tented reception was so beautiful, I would prefer it over being inside any day! Their staff was truly like family. Not only were me and my husband catered to every second of the day, but so were our guests. Our guests still rave about the delicious food and service! I can't tell you how many times we heard "That was the best food I have ever had at a wedding!" We are so sad that our beautiful wedding is in the past, and we already miss Linnea and her amazing staff, but I have no doubt we will be back again for EVERY other event we plan. They truly are the best! -

Today will be exactly a week from when we said ”I do” at La Bella Vista. I must say Linnea was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. As stressful as it is to plan a wedding in six weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic (unfortunately our original venue could not accommodate us) Linnea welcomed us with open arms. Linnea provided us with all of the information we needed (wedding package, food description, restaurant recommendations for dinner rehearsal, hotel, etc) accommodated their schedule so we could keep our date, and walked us through the entire process.
Now let's talk about the amazing service we received. As a same-sex couple, we worried about the treatment we would receive from others but no worries here. They were all AMAZING!!! The staff were welcoming and very attententive to our guest. Especially to the two brides. Thank you Tricia (Maitre D) and Katie (Bridal attendant) for the amazing services you provided. You both made sure the two brides weren't thirsty or hungry, helped with our wedding dresses and two bouquets, followed the two brides around the venue, and made sure both bridal parties were comfortable...let's just say double the trouble.
Lastly, our guest cannot stop talking about our wedding and neither can we. The venue is BEAUTIFUL , the food is DELICIOUS, and the service is OUTSTANDING! We believe things happen for a reason and we will say we are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL we had our wedding at La Bella Vista. We will recommend this location and look forward to booking our next event here!
Thank you to all the La Bella Vista staff who made this day so memorable!
Linnea, Tricia, Katie, Dionna, Alina, Katie, Sue, Angel, Justin, Angela, Theresa, and Chefs!
Sincerely,
Two Happy Brides

My now husband and I got married at La Bella Vista on October 10th. When we arrived a year and a half prior to tour the venue, we were so impressed with the property and all of the food options that were presented to us. We worked very closely with Todd and Andrew leading up to our wedding. They were both so easy to work with and so responsive. Even with everything going on due to the pandemic, they were responsive and did whatever we needed to make sure that we could have the wedding of our dreams. On the day of the wedding every single staff member that we came into contact with was beyond kind and helpful. Trish was our maitre d' on the day of our wedding and was fantastic. She went out of her way to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. Even though I was not feeling my best due to my nerves getting the best of me, Trish and the entire staff continued to check on me throughout the night to make sure I was okay. Our guests were so impressed with everything. We have received so many compliments regarding how they were treated, the service, and of course the ample amount of food that was provided throughout the night. One key thing our guests loved was that even though they were so full from the delicious food, that La Bella Vista provided to-go containers. Our guests are still enjoying their leftovers! We are so appreciative of Le Bella Vista for hosting our wedding. It was absolutely perfect and we could not be more happy! -

"We would be fools not to book this place."
Upon our first time walking into the La Bella Vista, my then-fiance, Brandon, and I turned to each other slack-jawed. We met with Todd as he showed us around the venue. We wanted to get married on site, so we walked through what a winter wedding might look like there. After showing us the gorgeous grand foyer with its chandeliers, the giant reception hall, and the pristine grounds, the three of us sat down to go over potential cocktail hour food, dinner options, and more. Included in our package was more food than we could ever hope to eat as well as linens, uplighting, and the wedding cake from select vendors.
By the time we left I turned to Brandon and simply said, "We would be absolute fools not to book this place."
I know a lot of couples are worried about getting everything done before their wedding but working with La Bella Vista, we never once had that feeling. From the moment we booked with them we were treated with the utmost care and professionalism as they quickly answered all of questions and even supplied guidelines and checklists to keep us on track. They were able to cater to all of our wishes and then some.
On the day of our wedding our maitre'd, Trish, was practically superhuman. Always in the right place at the right time, making our transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception completely flawless. We received so many complements on the efficiency and care that Trish and her team had.
Finally, I want to mention how incredible the food was. I have an uncle who is very picky about how his steak is cooked and even HE said it was amazing! Endless complements about the cocktail hour food and hearing the excitement in guest's voices as they talk about the dessert stations was something I'll be thriving on for years to come.
Overall, we couldn't have found a better venue if we tried. The value, the atmosphere, the food, and above all else the staff are unparalleled.
Special shout out to Todd, Trish, and Lisa for their incredible kindness and professionalism through the whole process. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you! -

There are so many amazing things to say about La Bella Vista and their staff I do not even know where to begin! My wedding day was absolutely perfect. I had not a care in the world, just pure happiness and that is what every bride should feel like on their wedding day. And the groom too! Both of us were able to enjoy the night, our guests and the food with no worries about anything, it was all handled for us.
Trish and Todd were my coordinators and they are the people you want to have by your side while planning and executing a wedding. Without them, my day would not have been as magical and perfect as it was.
We worked with Todd from the start. He gave us a packet in the beginning telling us step by step what we needed to do and when it needed to be done. That packet is a life saver!! They organize every part of wedding planning in this packet so perfectly for you, which keeps your stress level way down! All you have to do is follow their timeline and you will be on track the entire time. Then at the end, all I had to do was bring the décor I wanted for my tables (guest tables, sweetheart table, etc..) prior to the wedding and they set everything up exactly like I had it in my head and even better! Anytime I had a question, Todd was right there to answer. Even when he was not in the office.
Trish is the superhero that sticks by your side the day of to ensure your dress is perfect, you are where you need to be and best of all – keeps your drink and your belly full! We had a cold day and she was by my side laughing through all the outdoor pictures we had to take. Trish – if you are reading this that was a blast!! Thank you! Everyone in our bridal party is amazed by Trish!
One HUGE aspect of a wedding – the FOOD!!!! The food here will blow your mind and your guests. It is SO GOOD and there is A LOT of it!! Our guests are still raving!! It is also good to note here that I had a chocolate fountain! Want to WOW your guests – get a chocolate fountain.
Many people have come to us to let us know that our wedding was the best they have ever been to. That is thanks to the team at LBV. The whole staff, they are all what made that day perfect.
Thank you La Bella Vista for making our day truly, the best day of our lives.
Any bride out there looking – I highly recommend!

La Bella Vista is the Best!
Engaged couple, I've been in your shoes. Trying to find a venue that fits your budget, your style, and your guest count. Trying to read reviews, look at photos, and visit venues. Well let me offer some friendly advice- BOOK LA BELLA VISTA! My husband and I are so glad we did. They were flexible to help us meet our budget, the venue is beautiful (and photographs really well), the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was DELICIOUS. This is coming from someone with an Italian background, with food allergies, saying that the food was incredible. Our guests commented on the food, and are still talking about it months later. I'm not joking- the food was the best I've ever had at a wedding, and I would be honest if that wasn't the case. LBV was so easy to work with, accepted the challenge of my unique allergies and those of some guests, and just went above and beyond to make our day the most special day for us. Special shout out to our maitre d, who made sure our cups were always full, helped me fix my broken bustle, and even helped clear some guests who were overly chatty while my husband and I were trying to eat. Since they've been in the business a while, they know what they are doing, and help you think through your day as well. Our entire reception went so smoothly, we didn't want it to end! We cannot sing enough praises for LBV, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how classically elegant (and fun!) our wedding was, with the best food!
As a side-note, I will tell you that having an all-in-one venue reduces your stress so much, versus trying to save a little money and find a venue where you need to coordinate your own caterer, bartender, equipment rentals, etc. We've had friends with weddings like that, and they have admitted that the extra work and stress was not worth the cost savings.
In case the rest of the review isn't clear- you won't regret having your wedding at La Bella Vista. We loved it!

Emily Sent on 07/19/2019Beautiful Venue, Amazing Staff at La Bella Vista
I cannot say enough good things about Andrew Razz and the other staff at La Bella Vista. Our entire experience at La Bella Vista was amazing. Our guests raved about the food, the service, and the timing of the events throughout our wedding. We were blown away by how easy the staff made the day of our wedding. They had every detail taken care of so that we could truly just enjoy each moment. My husband had sprained his ankle two nights before the wedding, and La Bella Vista had a cushion and ice ready to go during cocktail hour so that he could rest it before having to walk and dance on it at the reception. Our reception was 6 hours, which is an hour longer than most other venues. They also worked closely with our photographer and DJ to make sure all parts of the day were on schedule. I will be recommending La Bella Vista to all of my friends. We are so thankful for the amazing experience we had thanks to the hard working staff at La Bella Vista! -

We had such an amazing wedding night thanks to the staff at LBV. The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food was delicious. Throughout the planning process LBV helped relieve some of my stress by assuring me that they would take care of everything, and they definitely didn't disappoint. My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our night went, we highly recommend this venue to anyone considering. -
