As the parents of the bride, my husband and I wanted our daughter's wedding to be an event we were proud to host - and Bella Sera not only delivered, but went above and beyond! The food was very important to us, and everything -- from the passed appetizers and the charcuterie at the cocktail hour, to the salads/rolls served at the table and the three entrees served at the buffet -- was not only delicious, but memorable! People are still telling us months later how much they enjoyed the food, and many went back for seconds. Bella Sera should consider publishing a cookbook! The staff was very kind and accommodating - we had lots of questions leading up to the event and Andrea always responded timely; her calm demeanor and can-do attitude were a breath of fresh air. The day of the wedding, Jocelyn was so well organized with getting decor set up and offering suggestions - she really made everything look spectacular! We had about 220 people at our event, but the reception hall did now feel crowded and everyone could move around between tables freely. Andrea arranged for two separate two-sided buffets to get everyone served quickly to allow more time for dancing. We had three bars, each with its own bartender - there was never a long line and the selection of beverages with the premium package kept everyone refreshed and happy. The waiters and waitresses also gave their all in serving our guests - so polite and willing to help in whatever way was needed throughout the day.The venue itself is just lovely, from the outdoor fountain area where the ceremony was held to the tent for the cocktail party, to the reception hall itself - the rustic Italian decor and attention to detail in every area was impressive. The side room for the bars and the front room, both with their own seating/tables, were welcome places for guests who wanted a quieter place to socialize while the music and dancing were in full swing in the main reception hall.In essence, we are very grateful to the staff at Bella Sera for making our daughter's wedding such a beautiful, fun and perfect day - memorable for all the right reasons!

Honestly we are happy that we went with Bella Sera as our venue despite some issues the day of the wedding. The venue is beautiful and I loved how our photos ended up!! Bella Sera is perfect for fall outdoor photos if you love fall colors. The food was delicious and our guests were very happy with the food. Most of the servers were nice and attentive to our guests and the multiple dietary restrictions that guests had at our wedding. Our bartenders were amazing! We really liked both of the bartenders we had and were super nice to all of our guests. Up until the day of the event the wedding coordinator and assistants were amazing and helped make sure that we were prepared on the day of the wedding. They were awesome with helping navigate the rain plan since it was raining the day of our wedding. However, there were some issues. Starting with the cocktail tables outside not being set up and my mom/bridesmaid had to decorate the tables outside since the assistant on site was running a rehearsal for a wedding the next day. Day of the wedding we had some issues with the heaters not working for cocktail hour and the fact that most of our guests did not get passed hot o d'oeuvres despite having staff pass them around. My mom had a personal request to get the o d'oeuvres from the staff multiple times to try everything that we ordered for the day of the wedding. Also the day of the wedding they held a rehearsal dinner without letting us know that people would be upstairs near the bridal suite while we were getting ready for the ceremony. We would have appreciated the heads up since people who were there for the rehearsal dinner ended up taking late night food and cookies that were from our wedding and we had to tell them to politely leave. I believe that alot of these issues could have been avoided with more communication between Bella Sera and us. Overall, we enjoyed our wedding day and would most likely pick Bella Sera again as our venue since it fit the vision we were looking for day of. Any brides thinking about booking Bella Sera I would recommend being in more consistent communication the week before the wedding to try to prevent some issues from occurring. On a positive note, the bridal suite was amazing and we had a blast getting ready. The bridal suite bites were delish as well as the mimosa bar. The space was spacious enough for all of my ladies to get ready. Only negative about getting ready is the guys did not have a place to hang out when it was raining before the start of our ceremony besides the coat room. We knew this could be a possibility going in and we made it work since the weather did not corporate. When these issues came up, the wedding coordinator tried to help fix these issues but some of them just could not be fixed and it seemed she was giving my mom and mother in law some attitude that we should not be upset with the issues that came up. As the bride though, Andrea and Jocelyn were amazing to me day of the wedding and they truly do care about each couple. Throughout the day Jocelyn checked in with me about my vision which was so nice. Overall, as a bride, despite these issues I do not regret picking Bella Sera as our venue. My husband and I agree that it was what we wanted our wedding to be. Reviewed on 30-10-2023

Kim Romanelli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2022 Working with Bella Sera for our wedding was fantastic! The venue is STUNNING and being able to have our ceremony outside and the reception in the gorgeous ballroom was a dream come true!The food was outstanding; we heard nothing but great things from our guests. We opted for the stations and everything put out was delicious!Having the packaging option was great - I loved that our photographer, videographer, and DJ knew each other as well as the Bella Sera crew because they've worked the venue so much. The layout of what upgrades can/should be booked through Bella Sera and what does/does not count towards the spending minimum could have been a bit clearer, but overall the coordination was great!The only slight snag in the planning was when the lead wedding coordinator left the company; we booked our wedding over a year and a half ahead of time and were planning from Colorado, but other than a couple of minor miscommunications along the way the whole crew (especially our main contact, Andrea) was outstanding!!Thank you to everyone at Bella Sera for making our day perfect!

Andrea was an amazing coordinator who ensured that the entire evening went according to plan. From the first time we saw it, everyone there was so kind and helpful. I had my wedding there in February, and we chose the winter wedding package. The vendors that came with that package were amazing. Andrea then coordinated with them everything that I needed, which was so helpful knowing that I had a couple less things to worry about. The food was incredible as well (filet and crab cake). We had many guests with dietary restrictions, and the chef was great with accommodating these guests.

They even have appetizers set up for when you get back from the ceremony. We had such a great experience with them. The best part was we didn't have to set anything up. You just drop off your decorations with instructions on what items you have and a general idea you'd like and they do the rest! Everything was beautiful, they did a great job.

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Bella Sera. Our ceremony was in the garden in the back and it was absolutely perfect, cocktail hour moved to the tent on the back patio and reception moved inside. It truly felt like we were at 3 very different locations - it was the best! The staff at Bella Sera were professional and very nice to our guests. We had multiple compliments from guests on the servers and bartenders. Our wedding would not have been what it was without the help of Andrea and Lauren. Andrea was extremely helpful leading up to the wedding. Her response time to all emails was extremely fast, she was always helpful and reassuring. She really helped form our vision with the wedding. Lauren absolutely crushed it. I met her for the first time at the rehearsal and we ran through all of details of the wedding. I had told her the gist of what I wanted but at the end of the day told her she knows the venue best so I trust her recommendation. And MAN am I glad I did that. She exceeded all of my expectations for what I thought the day would look like. She was patient when we did multiple dry runs for the ceremony to make sure we all had it down. She was kind and answered all of the questions I had and my family had. The food. The food is so yummy - it was hard to select what we wanted for the reception because we loved it all. The cocktail hour was amazing - the meat and cheese display was huge and a big hit as well as the giant fruit table. And you will not regret ordering the bacon wrapped scallops⊠seriously, a chefâs kiss. All of the portion sizes were perfect for the dinner. From salad, to pasta to the dual plate meal.I could go on and on with how perfect our day was. I highly recommend Bella Sera as your venue for your wedding.

Sydney Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-10-2020 Bella Sera has always been my dream venue and we were luckily able to have our wedding there in the middle of this pandemic. We were due to be married in the fall of 2021 but I had contacted Lauren regarding available 2020 dates due to boredom and she happened to have my dream date/holiday available, Halloween! Needless to say we moved our wedding up an entire year and we had 2.5 months to plan everything. Bell Sera was the perfect venue to handle our special day, the level of professionalism from Lauren and Andrea, along with the rest of the staff, was truly amazing. There was not a single detail overlooked or unaccounted for by one staff member during our entire process. All of the BTS planning for linens, food, desserts, etc was effortless all because of their amazing plans that they offer year round! We were able to host our flash mob rehearsal AND ceremony rehearsal there the day before our wedding which was a huge plus! All of our decor was perfectly arranged when I arrived the next morning; Andrea greeted me at 9:30 AM with the biggest smile (through her mask) and made me feel so comfortable. Wedding day nerves werenât even in the question because Lauren and Andrea made sure they had everything in order long before our big day. Just before the ceremony Andrea could tell I was getting anxious and rather than telling me to get over it, she comforted me with encouraging words and a, âgood luck, heâs waiting for you,â as she fixed the train of my dress seconds before walking down the aisle. Throughout the night Andrea and our DJ kept all of our events on schedule and made sure we took time to eat our food and cake AND talk with each of our guests! By the end of the night we were saying our goodbyes and I turned to ask when we would be able to pick up our decor and the room was almost completely empty with our car packed with all of the items we brought. THE EFFICIENCY!! They tore everything down and replaced it in our boxes/bins the exact way we brought them in! We also received a beautiful gift basket filled with a pasta dinner for two including pasta noodles, a jar of sauce, a bottle of wine, two Bella Sera engraved wine glasses, All Clad metals measuring cups, and a gift certificate to a Bella Sera event! As I said before, the level of professionalism and kindness we received, at one of the most stressful times of everyoneâs lives (pandemic) was truly amazing.

Dawn Martire(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2019 I loved working with Bella Sera! Our wedding was small, under 25 guests, but they never made it feel 'small'. The venue and grounds were great and the food and it's presentation were wonderful. I got ready there, married onsite, and had my dinner reception there. It was a one stop shop, which I really enjoyed! The professional pictures turned out great because of the outdoor scenery there. Lauren and Erin were awesome, and really made me feel calm and handled during a super anxious time. Reviewed on 09-10-2019
Annette Chick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2019 Bella Sera was everything we hoped for. The entire day flowed so perfect! It's been over 3 weeks and my guests are still talking about the staff, atmosphere and food! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't think twice about choosing this amazing venue! Thank you Bella Sera for making our dreams a reality!! Reviewed on 08-10-2019
Dawn Michaels(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2019 This venue is by far the best around. The venue includes a list of qualified vendors that work with Bella Sera frequently. We got engaged in January and were married in August. Lauren helped us figure out what we may/may not need, obtain reputable vendors that work well together (photographer, videographer, florist, etc.). The bridal suite upstairs where you get ready for the day is perfect for larger or smaller groups (we had 10 bridesmaids/maids/matrons of honor). The parking lot is big enough for even a large group of guests. We were able to taste everything we could at the mock wedding prior to our big day and I will say make sure you go hungry! The food is incredible and if you don't, you will regret missing out on tasting everything. The salmon is by far my favorite dish. The dill remoulade on it is to die for! Even the owner was helping clear dishes at the mock wedding and visiting with the guests. He is truly an incredible guy and it shows he puts thought into every detail to make sure the venue is continuously improving and being the best venue in the area! He cares about the people that book the venue and it shows. The food during cocktail hour and late night snacks were a huge hit as well. The service of the staff during our wedding was wonderful. They are all very helpful, friendly and do an incredible job at keeping everything cleaned up and on time. Lauren, the event coordinator/planner, is amazing to work with during all of the planning, the rehearsal, and the wedding day. Her smile puts you at ease and the assistance she provides is beyond anything I have experienced. She made things so easy and ensured we would have the best day yet. We even had an intern Andrea work with us a bit and you can tell she learned from the best. She did not miss a beat. Our ceremony was outside and we did not need to add decorations as the outdoors is picture perfect in every way, shape, and form. Some people put flowers on the outdoor arch but the detail within that and the fencing around the pond is beautiful in itself so we did not add anything. The chairs in the reception area are the gorgeous bamboo style chairs that do not require any additional decorations (chair bows/covers, unless you absolutely are set on those). The stairs leading down into the reception area make for a grand entrance (one out of a fairy tale) for the bride and groom. I cannot say enough good things about Bella Sera between their staff, food, venue, etc. We really enjoyed working with Lauren and having this venue for our big day! If we renew our vows, we might just have to book it again! I am already looking for a way to get back there to eat more of that amazing salmon! Thank you for making our wedding day like something out of a fairy tale. It was the best day ever! Reviewed on 06-10-2019
Rena Harlan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2019 Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect! As much as I would like to take credit for the day being a success, the truth is the attention to detail by the wedding planners at Bella Sera is the real reason the day was so successful. Not only did they bring to my attention things that I still needed to take action before the day of the wedding day, but on the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed. The entire staff was also great, very polite and very helpful as we cleaned up after the wedding was over. Oh, the food was also excellent!!! We received tons of compliments on the wedding and I know that is a direct result of the professionalism and expertise of the staff at Bella Sera. Reviewed on 01-10-2019

Amanda Stone(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-08-2019 My husband and I chose Bella Sera based on their absolutely beautiful outdoor garden and pond area. The day could of not been more perfect. The venue is all inexclusive, which helps with brides like me who felt overwhelmed trying to coordinate multiple vendors. All of the staff were so friendly, helpful and attentive on our day. Lauren Madison our wedding coordinate was so wonderful. She helped make everything go smoothly and the whole process leading up to the big day less stressful. Erin who set up all our decor was so nice and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Bella Sera to anyone looking for a beautiful rustic and romantic venue. Reviewed on 06-09-2019

Bill Lewis(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2019 We could not have been more pleased from the time we booked the venue until our wedding day!The venue is beautiful inside and out. Inside it gives you the feel of an Italian Tuscan Villa and outside they have a beautifully landscaped garden with a pond and fountain.We can not speak highly enough of the staff and ownership. The owner Jason has paid attention to so many details to insure the venue to the food are superb. We also canât thank Lauren Madison and her intern Andrea enough either! Lauren is as good as it gets as an event/ wedding coordinator! She was always willing to respond to our emails and calls or even to meet when questions arose along the way. We had both our ceremony (outside in the gardens) and reception at Bella Sera . We couldnât have asked for a better day and Lauren made sure every last detail was accounted for and taken care of so we could enjoy being in the moment.We also opted for one of their packages which included several preferred vendors. It really saved us time upfront and they only recommended the best. They have it down to a science and again we would highly recommend Bella Sera to any couple searching for a beautiful venue that will go out of their way to not only meet but exceed your wedding day expectations!
