Book the venue!!I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue! Everything about this place is out of a fairytale. The bridal suite was not only gorgeous but extremely clean. The food was fantastic as well as the staff! Not only did we have a fantastic time and have amazing photo ops but the owner Robin was so warm and friendly to us all! There may be bad reviews below mine but please do not believe everything you read online. She was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our night there. I would highly suggest if you want to have a beautiful wedding and memories for life. Thank you Robin for everything 💜 Reviewed on 10-12-2023

Beautiful site and the staff was wonderful. I am a member of a band that played a wedding reception party at this venue. Everyone was helpful and supportive. Guest appeared to have a wonderful time Reviewed on 20-09-2023
katherine Biggs-McNeely(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-10-2022 My Son was married and had his reception here 10/30/22. This venue is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. It feels like you might be in Tuscany or French countryside. The plantings are lush and there are beautiful vignettes all over for pretty IG worthy photos. The founder, Robin, put so much care and attention into every detail and it shows! Robin and the staff were so welcoming, it was the Southern hospitality that we Northerners always hear about! Her home made Gumbo was AHHHHMAZING!! All the food was delicious. There are so many decorations available to use that you really need to bring very little just the custom touches to make it your own. I really can't recommend this venue more! Wish I could give 200 stars! Reviewed on 31-10-2022
Kaitlyn Lewis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-10-2022 We had our wedding at Bella Sera Gardens on 10/30/22 and they made our wedding dreams come true. Robin and her staff go above and beyond to make sure everything they had available for decorating was immaculate (which the fact they even provide that is amazing). The food was amazing. All of our wedding party can’t stop talking about how gorgeous our wedding was. It rained the day before and Robin made sure to blow off the chapel so everything was dry. We can’t thank her enough for giving us the most beautiful wedding day and making sure we were taken care of. Reviewed on 31-10-2022
Keshia Webb(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2022 Don’t be alarmed the entrance and finding the venue and the house may seem a little off BUT once you arrive on the property IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This venue was very intimate and private perfect for a nice small family and close friends wedding! I got to witness my sister not only marry the love of her life but to witness it at such a wonderful venue! Piper was absolutely amazing and so was the rest of the crew! When the wedding party arrived at the house to get ready for the wedding we were welcomed with such a warm southern welcome! Reviewed on 05-07-2022
Alexis Repka(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2022 Was the ABSOLUTE best venue a bride could ask for! Robin herself is an angel!! Set up was so beautiful and Robin went above and beyond to make my wedding day so special! This venue was the only place I looked at, and I’m so thankful I chose Bella Sera Gardens for my perfect day! Every inch of this place is beyond what I can describe as beautiful… I recommend to any future bride to check this place out, you won’t regret it! Thank you again Robin, so very much for everything you did for us on our wedding day! ❤️❤️❤️ A day I’ll never forget! - Repka Family Reviewed on 11-06-2022
Susan Hickman(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 We attended a family wedding in May here and it was perfection. Every detail was perfect. You won't find a more beautiful setting. The food was delicious and the staff was fantastic. They deserve a 5 star rating. Reviewed on 08-06-2022
Christi Bader(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2022 This venue is absolutely STUNNING and has so much to offer including use of their beautiful antique accents, gorgeous courtyard fire pits, fountains, and swings not to mention reception tables, chairs, catering (the food was wonderful!!), and bar service for the reception. This venue is a one stop shop to the wedding of your DREAMS and it sure was the wedding of ours. My husband and I have joked, now that our wedding day has come and gone, that we'd really love to attend a wedding at Bella Sera so we could really enjoy the courtyard! The venue owner, Robin, was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating (offers helpful design/decor suggestions/option, will adjust alcohol and food selections to WHATEVER you want etc). We can not thank Robin and the Bella Sera staff enough for making our wedding day magical! Reviewed on 30-05-2022
Patti Touchstone(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 This is the most beautiful venue EVER! Robin, Maria and staff were the best to work with leading up to the wedding, the day of the wedding, and afterwards. I'm not sure why anyone would have any issues with the venue or staff other than some people may not know how to conduct themselves professionally and/or feel entitled. Also, possible they may not feel like they have to abide by contract agreement/ \"rules\". My daughter's wedding day/ night could not have been more beautiful and perfect. Everyone was a pleasure to deal with and I will look forward to booking this venue for future events. Reviewed on 22-05-2022
Destiney Matthyssen(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-05-2022 This place was an absolute NIGHTMARE!! I wouldn’t recommend it to my biggest enemy. Their bar communication is TERRIBLE!! The owners daughter was in her underwear a tank top and no bra smoking her vape on the front porch when my vendors pulled up to start unloading at 9am. No where in my contract did it say someone physically lives in the “bridal suite” we were unaware that she was even there the whole time we were getting ready. She was locked away in a room somewhere, no one even offered to make sure we were okay or if we needed anything. I would have gotten dressed at my own home if I would have know the bridal suite I paid money for was someone’s living quarters. The day of the rehearsal, the owner was more worried about her wedding that was the day after mine. She cut my rehearsal short because she had a dinner date with her husband that she was late for. In the contract it said to be out by 10, around 9:40 the owners daughter started throwing away my personal belongings and was throwing it on the front porch. Even threw away the letter my husband wrote me for our wedding day. I have a 4 month old baby and she was crying and upset because all the chaos going on and the daughter told me to “shut my baby up”. I was an absolute wreck because of the way we were treated, and no bride should EVER have to feel like that on their wedding day. I was yelled at in front of my guest by the bar tenders and the cops were called by the owners daughter. I asked if they had ever been there before and they said they get called there ALL THE TIME for the same thing! I just want to make sure no bride ever has to go through this, this venue is known for how terrible the “staff” is and I hope every bride avoids this at ALL COSTS!!! Reviewed on 08-05-2022
Herb Jamieson(other)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2022 I was a dj at a wedding at this venue and the owner and manager were excessively rude even going as far as starting a verbal argument with myself and my brother during a client's event and threatening to have us escorted off of the property by the police all because of a 1 star review that I left her and refused to remove or apologize for. The photographer told me that every time she does an event at this venue the owner has an issue with someone. The owner will also require your music be played so low that it will be very difficult to hear it. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. Reviewed on 04-04-2022
Patrice Buck(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2021 Bella sera review Words can not express the amazing experience that I had with Robin and her breathtaking venue Bella Sera Garden. Like most brides I choose my venue because of the vision I always had for my wedding. Bella Sera Garden grounds fit in every way to that vision but When I booked I didn’t realize how passionate Robin was about her brides, their weddings and their experience. She isn’t just doing it for money I believe God has placed her in this position to impact brides for years to come. I am literally on my honeymoon writing this review because the level of care that was place in to my day was beyond amazing. When people involved with my wedding dropped the ball Robin jumped in without hesitation to resolve the problem. At the end of the night Robin felt more like family than simply the venue owner. I am so grateful for her and her family stepping out on faith and building this venue. It’s like her baby, so she is going to be protective of it. You care for what you love. There are rules and they are clearly explained. I remember the stress of looking for the perfect venue, stop looking now!! I did all the work for you go to Bella Sera Garden!!! I promise you will not regret it and your wedding WILL be the talk of the town. Also booking at Bella Sera Garden removed a lot of the normal stresses related to a wedding because it has various items that are included in price (like tables, cake stands, benches for chapel, Candelabras, fruit cart, and so much more) The venue also has Linens and beautiful chairs in both gold and ivory to rent, so it’s like one stop shopping.

Devry Coghlan(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2020 If you live anywhere in South Alabama, you won't find a venue as stunning and inclusive as Bella Sera Gardens. The outdoor chapel is exquisite with it's chandeliers and incredibly gorgeous doors. I wish I could post a picture. The meandering Italian garden with it's fountains, fire features and swings is different than anything else out there. And the fresco decorated reception room is the perfect backdrop for any celebration.Perhaps what makes it even more spectacular is the service. The owner and coordinator, Robin, has not only an artist's eye and lots of experience, but she has a servant's heart. She got on a 20 foot ladder after our ceremony just to make one shot picture perfect and how I had envisioned it. She'll go the distance for you and that is priceless. Reviewed on 21-07-2020
Tabatha Jones(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2020 We had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Bella Sera and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! There are so many places on the property to take pictures so be prepared for your photographer to have a blast - mine did! Robin, the owner, was very easy to work with and gave a lot of cool and fun ideas for the wedding on the tour when I was trying to figure out my vision for the day. The bridal house was roomy and the bathroom is large so plenty of room to get ready on the property. One of many things I loved about the venue is that every part of the venue is beautiful - the courtyard, the fountains with fire, the bars in the courtyard, the open air chapel and bridges... even the bathrooms for guests are beautifully decorated. You MUST tour this place if you are looking to get married in South Alabama!! Reviewed on 22-06-2020
Barbara H(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2019 I had my wedding at Bella Sera Gardens on December 21, 2019, the day it rained ALL day! What started out as a huge disappointment (not an option to use the adorable outdoor wedding chapel), we quickly transitioned to the absolutely beautiful indoor event building. Robyn was there to rescue us and help us expertly set up for the ceremony and reception in the same space. She is outstanding at what she does. It worked out beautifully! Even with minimal decorations on my part, the venue looked gorgeous. We used the big house to dress in, which was perfect. Our photos are lovely! Thank you, Robyn, for all you did to make our event a success! Reviewed on 07-01-2020
Cary Hall(maid of honor)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2019 We so enjoyed our experience at Bella Sera Gardens. The photographer loved that there are so many wonderful places for photos at Bella Sera Gardens, from the covered bridge to the open air chapel, the pond, the front gates to the garden, etc. In addition, the proprietor, Robyn, was generous with her decor, signs, tables, linens, and beautiful serving dishes and utensils. She gave us great advice on what to use and where, but also didn't impose at all. She appeared whenever needed and was patient with us! Thank you Bella Sera for making our experience excellent!

Boho Bride(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-07-2018 I used this venue for a bridal shoot and ended up falling in love with it!

It has indoor and outdoor areas for photos and multiple locations for ceremonies and receptions. I was so impressed with all of the options! Reviewed on 25-12-2018
