Making the decision to do my wedding at BellaCosa was in the bridal room, I looked at my mom and we both cried and knew right then and there it was the one! Once the day came it was the best day of my life, everything was just perfect, and the man the was in charge to help if we needed anything was amazing, he helped in any way possible and us once the wedding was done we also helped clean up and made the place look almost the same as we walked in. Iâm more than happy that we placed our wedding there, all the guest loved it and also asked for reviews for their future events. 100/100 đ

From the very beginning of our wedding planning process through the morning after our stay, Bella Cosa Lakeside was an absolute dream! They were so organized, professional, and warm through our planning. We were able to visit the venue multiple times before the big day to meet with coordinators and help form our vision for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, the team were incredible to work with. I woke up with an excruciating muscle spasm in my back and could hardly move. The venue coordinators spent time to call local chiropractors that could come to the venue to help me feel better! I was blown away. The day went off without a hitch. The guests kept coming up to me to tell me how stunning the venue was! We stayed the night in the guest rooms upstairs, which were lovely, as well. Everything went amazingly!! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. I wouldn't change anything.

Bella Cosa was a no brainer as soon as I saw it. Being in central Florida, most venues are barns, which are fine...just not my style. I have always been drawn to more European style weddings and Bella Cosa provides EXACTLY that. The staff was so helpful and I love that they actually sent regular check-in emails in the months leading up to the wedding. They answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. I even had a minor complaint in the planning process (I'll get to that later), but they handled it with grace and made me feel validated in my concern. We booked one of the packages that allowed us to stay the weekend, which is ABSOLUTE MUST, especially if you have lots of out of towners. Everyone was blown away by the venue and how gorgeous it was. Our guests the day of said the same thing. One of my friends said I absolutely outdid myself with the wedding (and they knew me as the wedding obsessed girl who has been planning her wedding since college), and Bella Cosa was a big part of that. The one downside to the venue is that it is in a pretty remote location, and doesn't really make traveling there easy if you aren't driving (which a few of my friends didn't). The complaint I referenced earlier was finding out that rideshares are not really a thing there, even though when I first toured the venue the staff member who gave the tour said it wasn't an issue. However, that may have been an error on her part only, because later on when I double checked, they did say that rideshares weren't reliable. That being said, it was a very small hiccup. Besides that, I have nothing but good things to say and Caitlyn, the venue coordinator the day of, was a huge help. Thank you so much to Bella Cosa for making our dream come true!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. When we first looked at BellaCosa, we were told our date had already been taken. This was heartbreaking as we fell in live with the venue. About 3 weeks after our initial visit, we went out for a second tour knowing that if we still felt like this was our venue, that we would have to change our date. We inquired and stated that we knew there were no Saturdays in December and wanted to see what H=January had. Immediately they said they just had a cancellation and our date was available. We snatched it quickly. This venue is a stunner. The staff is extremely professional and helpful. The bonus of being able to rent rooms upstairs overnight made everything perfect. Ample room in the Bride's ready room for a large party to get ready. Lots of space for guests to steal away and get a private moment away. Beautiful scenery. You really do not need much decor here. This manor home is the perfect setting for our dream wedding. We can't say enough about this venue. It was nice waking up and walking the grounds taking in the view of the place you were just married at - without the decor. PLease put this venue on your tour list! You will be impressed.

To the BellaCosa Team,Ivan and I want to thank you for allowing us to have our extra special moments at your venue. I will never forget how you all helped Ivan surprise me with a proposal under that beautiful oak tree. The way everything was orchestrated was absolutely a dream come true. We will also never forget all the emails exchanged with Sam about our wedding, and her patience with us when we asked a million questions. Sheâs a gem, never let her go! We will most certainly never forget the help we received on our wedding week and day. Thank you for going out of your way to help save our wedding. Yes, it did get a little crazy for a moment when the storm hit, but thank goodness we had Chase. He was a trooper and helped SO much. At the end of the day, we had a blast!Your venue is absolutely beautiful. All of our guests expressed how breathtaking everything was. The splendor of the venue made our guests totally forget what had happened with the storm, haha. You will all be part of a story that we will tell to our children someday. Thank you for working with us to make our dream wedding come true. Youâre the best!Love,Alondra and Ivan Leon

We love love love BellaCosa Lakeside and their team! In the planning stages, Becky, Lyttie, Melissa, and Samantha were so helpful and responsive. They were able to answer all our questions and accommodate any requests we had.On the actual wedding day, Charles was on site and was super helpful with getting us setup and definitely contributed to everything being easy and flowing well for us. The venue itself is gorgeous and was the perfect place for us to tie the knot. The view of the lake is amazing and the place is so charming that you actually end up saving some money because you don't have to decorate it that much! It really shines all on its own. I love that there are so many options for how you can do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. On our wedding day, there was about a 40% chance of rain, and while it luckily didn't end up raining, I felt secure in knowing that they had a back up indoor plan and could get that set up pretty fast if needed. I will definitely be taking BellaCosa into consideration for any future events or to recommend to anyone I know who needs a venue.

BellaCosa was a dream venue for my 200 person wedding, and intimate rehearsal dinner in October 2021. It has a storied history, and the perfect amount of old Florida charm and elegance. The current owners, Becky + Steve, have done a gorgeous, detailed restoration of the space. Being at BellaCosa feels like you're transported to a different time and place.The access to Lake Pierce and lakefront lawn are a gorgeous bonus. This is a flexible, plug-and-play space for any sized wedding -- that still manages to feel unique and customizable to your vision. The on-site lodging is quaint, well maintained and a HUGE bonus for the bride/groom and the lucky folks who are invited to stay on site with them.BellaCosa's event planning staff is professional, responsive, flexible and all around lovely. I have no regrets!

They offer a pretty good military discount which helped us. Samantha at the venue helped me to plan out where everything would go and was very nice.
