No questions asked, just book La Bella Vista RIGHT NOW !! I don’t even know where to start ! From the very beginning we worked with Todd and he was phenomenal. He answered every single question and answered every email, day or night in the blink of an eye. Every single staff member was caring and compassionate on my wedding day. Trish was like a superhero and my right hand girl. The venue is beyond beautiful, and has the most amazing food you will ever eat! Every guest of my wedding hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing my wedding was. The best decision was choosing La Bella Vista to host my wedding !! GO BOOK NOW!

La Bella Vista absolutely blew me away with how well they executed my wedding day. Andrew & Todd were so helpful with the planning process. They guided me in food choices, table arrangements, and timing of things, all which made the day go so smooth. From the moment we arrived at the venue, Tricia made sure our plates had food and drinks were full. She completely took over any and all things for me on during the reception. I could not have gotten through this day without them! The food was absolutely amazing and the Venetian table literally took my breath away. I am forever grateful to Andrew, Todd, Tricia and the rest of the LBV staff for making my wedding day so incredible. 10000/10 recommend!

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

The whole staff was friendly and helpful, and Trish the day of maitre de was also amazing! The food is IMMACULATE and couldn't have been better.

I had my June 10th wedding at La Bella Vista and every last detail was perfection. Living in Mississippi and planning a wedding in Connecticut was made easy by Ashley and the rest of the staff at LBV. The food and drinks were incredible. Tricia went above and beyond as the day of coordinator to ensure everything ran smoothly. Thank you LBV for the best day ever and for the lifetime full of memories.

La Bella Vista is a dream venue to work with - their staff, especially Todd and Trish, are so professional and organized from day 1 of booking the venue to the day of with all the finer details. The ballroom looked beautiful, with the draping and the chandeliers. The food was PHENOMENAL, every guest we spoke to was talking about how memorable and delicious it was. We had 14 passed h’ordeurves, a pasta station, entrees, an 5 dessert bars along with the cake. The result exceeded our greatest expectations. We definitely recommend you have your wedding at La Bella Vista!

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!

My husband and I got married at La Bella Vista 12/3/2022 and all I can say is it was amazing. The minute we stepped into the venue, we fell in love with the beautiful chandeliers and ballroom, I literally felt like a princess just walking in. Andrew and Linnea took care of us and they were very professional in giving us information about the venue and the packages available. The pricing was all given up front WITH tax, so there were no unexpected fees later down the line. As the planning went on, Andrew was extremely helpful and organized in guiding us through the process, giving us checkpoints throughout the year to make sure we had everything ready by the time the wedding came around. On top of all of that, the actual wedding day was absolutely wonderful. Tricia stayed with me (the bride) starting the moment I arrived at the venue and helped us with everything we needed (and I mean everything!). She was so attentive and helpful throughout the whole evening. Everything at the venue was set up as we had previously discussed and I really did not have to worry about anything else but myself. The food was amazing, every single guest we spoke with after the wedding kept telling us how amazing the food was and how it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Overall, La Bella Vista allowed us to have the most magical wedding and we are so grateful!

Not only is the venue beautiful, the food is absolutely the best! 2 months after our wedding, our guests are still commenting about how great the food was, from the appetizers to the desserts. We also had a wonderful experience with the service. Trish is specially awesome and so kind. She helped throughout our whole wedding day and made me feel at home, even offering to give me something for a headache. The rest of the staff are very professional, friendly and courteous.

Todd and Trisha were the most helpful day of coordinators. The whole team and staff put your needs first and made sure you and your close family and friends were having the best time.

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!

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.

Every step of the way in our wedding planning we felt supported and taken care of. Todd is so easy to work with and put all of our worries at ease. Trish orchestrated our day of event seamlessly.

My now husband and I looked at 15 venues before we decided to tour La Bella Vista. I said to my husband LBV is going to be the last venue we look at and that is it we are picking our venue. From the initial contact with Linnea (who is retired now) to set up our tour to after our wedding day, we have nothing but GREAT things to say about LBV and the staff. We walked into the venue and as soon as I saw the foyer, I already knew this was going to be our venue. I got that feeling brides get when they just know this is the one. I looked at my now husband and said I don't need to see anything else I know this is where we are getting married. We met with Linnea, toured the venue and that feeling still stayed with me. We saw the bridal suite, the ballrooms, the bathrooms, the grounds where pictures would be taken and everything was PERFECT. We left our meeting with a hold date, that evening I emailed Linnea with a confirmed we are booking for 6/24/22. Linnea retired but she put us in great hands with her son Andrew who was our go to guy. Andrew was exceptional!! Always made sure to answer any questions we had, went above and beyond to ensure we would have the best day (which we did and more). Day of wedding Andrew was very attentive to us, making sure everything was going smoothly/ if we were okay. Our Maître D was Tricia who was the BEST! Always made sure we had water, drinks, food, followed us around for pictures carrying my long train, made sure we ate, and so much more. All the staff at LBV were phenomenal and truly made our day much more special. Guests are still raving about our wedding 8 days later about the food, drinks, service, EVERYTHING! I wish I can relive the day for how amazing the staff treated us and made it the best day of our life. You will not be disappointed by booking your wedding at LBV. FOOD IS A 10/10 if I could rate 20/10 they deserve it. Thank you to Andrew, Tricia and all the staff that made our 6/24/22 wedding truly magical. Will be hosting all my future showers, parties at LBV.

Words can not begin to express how amazing the whole entire staff made our special day. We got married on June 12th and everything was absolutely perfect. The first interaction I had with Todd I knew this would be the place for us. He responded back so quickly and was able to answer any questions I had. We set up a time to see the place and as soon as we saw it we knew that would be the place. Todd continued to play a role for the many months leading up to the wedding any question I had no matter how big or small I would email him and he would always get back to me so quickly. Now the day of the wedding I knew we would all be well taken care of. However I could never have imagined how well we would be taken care of. Trish was absolutely fantastic. She was never far away making sure me and the girls had everything we needed. If we needed anything at all she was right there. If someone needed something from the bridal suite she would go up and get it for us. We never had to even go to the bar because she always made sure our drinks were full. The food!? Out of this world. They had everything set up perfectly with the decor we wanted for the day. Absolutely picture perfect. Not a single guest had a complaint. Everyone thought the venue, staff, atmosphere, food, and drinks were amazing. If you are looking for the perfect day and don’t want to worry about the stress of everything 115% hands down choose la Bella vista. You will NOT be disappointed! I am still blown away with how great of a job they all did. You can tell they really take great pride in what they do.

La Bella Vista provided myself and my now husband the most incredible wedding experience we could have ever asked for. Everything was seamless, and when anything came up, they resolved it without issue. We had the most perfect wedding day with 0 issues. I cannot recommend this venue or it’s staff highly enough. My friends and family were in awe of the venue, the service, and the food. I had multiple guests tell me after the wedding that they want to book with La Bella Vista for their own life events! I also had multiple people tell me that they were asked how they wanted their meat cooked - if you have been to a venue that serves 100+ people, this is typically not something that can be done and I am blown away that they were able to do this to accommodate our 135+ guests. We fully intend to celebrate anniversaries with La Bella Vista in the future, and want to personally thank Todd, and Trish especially for the best experience that we could have ever asked for. Everything was done beyond my expectations and I was a very very happy bride! Thank you, Trish, for helping with my minor dress issue and making me feel so calm cool and collected when my anxiety had other plans - I will be forever grateful to you.

Andrew and staff did everything in their power to make us feel special and as if we were the only wedding happening ever. Although they have done many weddings before Andrew, Trisha and Kimberly made me feel like she was the only bride in the world. The Food at La Bella Vista is always phenomenal, so we really had no worries there. Whether it’s a wedding or a family gathering I was wanting to make sure our guests are fed. There was an abundance of food, desserts, and hospitality. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. They really made sure we had nothing to worry about. We were always fed, hydrated, and taken care of like royalty. And to be honest its exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. The day and weekend after the wedding all our phones were blowing up saying that this was the best wedding everyone has ever gone to. And I can honestly say that is was all because of La Bella Vista making this the best day of our lives. Andrew and staff made everything so fluent and easy. Everything was no problem and there was never a moment of panic from either end. We can’t thank La Bella Vista enough for the most beautiful, stress-free, impeccable, magical day.

She helped with getting dressed, made sure we were comfortable, she even showed up with water when we were thinking that we were thirsty because it was a hot day. It's like she read our minds! Our family and friends are still talking about how much the LOVED the food! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to have our 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!

The Maiter d’ was amazing, always made sure both me and my husband knew what the plan was, along with making sure our drinks were well tended too. They did a fantastic job at spacing everyone out to make sure we followed all the Governors guidelines. I could not have asked for a better venue to have our special day at.

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!

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!

Andrew walked us through step by step and made the day easy on us. Tricia and Kim were with us the whole day and were simply amazing, from having water or champagne waiting for us to handling the small details like bustling the dress before dancing. Their energy and smiles just added to the bridal parties fun behind the scenes. Honestly-the food was top notch. We didn’t think people walk away talking about the food at the wedding, but we all certainly did. From the shrimp tacos with the mini peach margarita to the slider with an IPA shot, each dish was better than expected.We both have said over that we wish we could go back and relive our wedding day over and over again.

I cannot find enough words to explain how amazing and accommodating this venue is! After facing many obstacles while trying to get married during a pandemic and having our wedding plans get cancelled a week before our wedding... La Bella Vista saved us! Literally one week before our wedding date, we were recommended to give LBV a call, and we are so grateful that we did. Linnea immediately contacted us and brought us in to tell us all about the amazing outdoor, tented weddings that they were offering during this time. We fell in love with the venue and all of their accommodations and immediately started planning with only one week until our wedding. Linnea and her entire staff did not skip a beat and worked so hard to have our wedding day be everything and more than we ever dreamed of! Our guests have not stopped raving to us about how good the food was during both cocktail hour and dinner. Their inside and outdoor grounds were so beautiful and clean. The staff felt like family to us in just this short week of working with them, and we already miss them all. I will most definitely be booking any future event at LBV, they are truly amazing.

Our Jack & Jill and wedding were both so memorable because of the staff, food, and ambience at La Bella Vista! We worked with Andrew to plan our wedding and he went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Being a type-A bride, Andrew patiently answered all of my questions and put me at ease with the whole wedding planning process. I even made detailed drawings of where I wanted all of our reception decor and Andrew and his team set it up even more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Tricia was our Maitre D’ for our wedding day and she was nothing short of perfect in her role. Tricia was attentive, kind, and organized. She communicated with us from the time we arrived at the venue, to the time we left the reception. If you are lucky enough to work with Tricia, please know you will be well-taken care of!

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 decor 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.

They catered to our every need, kept us on time, and didn’t give myself or husband a chance to think about any of the details, which allowed us to focus on each other and really enjoy our first moments as husband and wife. Plus, they always made sure we had a drink in our hands . They were proactive and reactive. The level of joy in what they do really shows in their actions. We just got married on 10/26/19, and we’re already discussing doing a 10-year anniversary party at La Bella Vista haha!

Thank you does not cut it. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with La Bella Vista staff for our wedding! We loved the outdoor ceremony space and ballroom, but they are the ones that made the process go so smoothly. We worked with Todd throughout the planning process and he was always responsive in answering all of our questions (even via email since we're a bit of a drive away). The day of our wedding was no different. Tricia is amazing and every bride's dream to have with you all day. She left me with no reason to stress and made sure we were on schedule and even had a few minutes alone to eat. Not all venues provide you with someone, but it honestly made a huge difference. We did the extended reception (5 hours opposed to 4) and everything went by so quickly. Our band even said they have never worked with such an organized venue. On top of that, all of their food is incredible. From cocktail hour through dessert, there is not one thing that we didn't enjoy and they have a variety of things to choose from. I don't think any other venue that we looked at could have had our day go as perfectly as it did.

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!

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 had Tricia from La Bella Vista that accompanied the whole day and when my bustle was not hanging right I knew I was in good hands the minute she pulled out safety pins from her pocket and had water for me the minute I walked in to the venue. I can't say enough for Andrew and his team at La Bella Vista. They made my dream wedding become reality!!!

Everyone on my wedding day was very attentive and professional and I didn’t have to worry about anything! They made sure that we were able to eat and enjoy ourselves! The food was out of this world amazing and all of my guests raved about it! The display of the Venetian table was fantastic and everyone was surprised! I can’t say enough good things about La Bella Vista and the owners and staff. They were truly a pleasure to work with!

Stress-free and delicious food! My husband and I can't say enough wonderful things about this gorgeous venue! The food, the staff, the service - everything was amazing! We really didn't stress about anything with this venue because we worked with the best! Andrew and his staff paid very close attention to every detail to ensure that it was exactly what we wanted. The night could not have gone more smoothly and we are truly grateful for the professionalism that was shown and the kindness of the staff. The bartenders were on point, and despite the number of guests we had (250+), there was not much of a wait at all. Our guests remarked that not only did they have a great time at this beautiful place, but that they were still full the next day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

La Bella Vista is absolutely phenomenal in every single way. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to all staff members. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food and beautiful interior. And on top of the outstanding servers, cooks and owners, the maitre d' was so efficient and helpful in every single way. The day can be stressful, what with running around making sure we keep on schedule, but the second we arrived at the venue, our maitre d' took all of that stress off of us. Anything that needed our attention, she handled. (She even helped bustle my dress when my bridesmaids couldn't figure it out!) And on top of all that, the pricing is extremely affordable. The packages offered are well worth the price.I can go on and on about how wonderful La Bella Vista is, but I'm limited to the amount of words I can write. I will say, if you haven't already, visit La Bella Vista - you will fall in love the second you walk in, just like my husband and I did.

This venue is absolutely stellar! The staff at LBV provide excellent service in helping you organize and plan your wedding. They provide help throughout the planning and are extremely responsive and helpful with any questions you have. The facility is beautiful. It is well-kept, clean, and offers a stunning background for your big day. The food is also excellent. Many guests communicated it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. They are truly experts and put on a fantastic day. Their professionalism, planning, and service helped make my wedding day perfect. I would recommend this venue time and time again.

My husband and I cannot say enough about this venue! Everything was incredible...we had aprox. 140 guests and all of them said that they really enjoyed our wedding because of the atmosphere as well as the food. During the wedding planning process, we came across many vendors that were difficult to work with because they had poor communication skills. However, Linnea and her professional team at La Bella Vista were an absolute blessing. Linnea went above and beyond for us- she made us feel like her number one priority at all times, including weekends. She always ensured us that we could ask her as many questions as we needed...and I definitely did- she responded so quickly that I never had to worry about anything! Her staff decorated the venue beautifully...I had a vision in my head as to how I wanted everything to look and they made it even better! I was SO impressed! We also really appreciated everything our Maitre D', Trisha, did for us...she stuck with us the entire time on the day of our wedding to make sure that everything was perfect! We are so sad that it's all over because LBV felt like our home during our 10 months of planning, however Linnea encouraged us to come back and visit anytime. We cannot express enough gratitude to LBV for making our special day absolutely magical! Choose La Bella Vista!

We had our wedding here in May 2018. The food was amazing and the place is gorgeous. The waitstaff, owner and matradee were beyond amazing! They bent over backwards to make sure our wedding was everything we hoped for plus way more. I remember walking outside for pictures and it was lightly misting/raining and before we knew it, an umbrella opened up over our heads as we walked out the doors without prompting. The matradee, Tricia, catered to our every need without missing a beat. Big thank you to: Andrew for making this process fun and being so flexible; Tricia for your awesome personality and amazing effort to be by our side and making sure our night was perfect, and to all the other staff at La Bella Vista that made our wedding what it was. By far the best night of our lives and you guys had a huge part in making it that way. THANK YOU!

This place went above and beyond for us! They almost felt like family by the day of our wedding. The staff thought of things we needed before we even knew we needed them! The price was worth every penny. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us that our wedding was the best one they've ever been to because the food was incredible and the venue itself was stunning. It was such a perk to be the only wedding going on at the venue too. There are so many places in the Waterbury, Prospect, Southington region of CT that are \"wedding factories\" who aren't as caring and just want to shuffle through your wedding. I would host an event at La Bella Vista again in a heart beat. This is the best place to get married, people!

La Bella Vista was incredible. The entire facility is renovated and beautiful. Everything is so shiny and clean, you can tell they pay attention to detail and are passionate about their work. Beyond that, their food is simply the best. I’m still hearing feedback from my family and guests about how awesome of a job they did. Andrew made the whole process stress-free and painless, while Trish was there to serve us at the drop of the dime and did a great job making us feel special on our wedding day. I couldn’t be happier with my choice at La Bella vista.

We cannot say enough amazing things about La Bella Vista. Our wedding reception went absolutely perfectly, with ZERO issues. From putting a deposit down to leaving at the end of the night on our wedding day, LBV was there every step of the way helping and making everything easier. Ashley was our coordinator, she is no longer with LBV, but she was incredible! She was extremely detail-oriented and helped keep us on track. But everyone in the office was awesome when we would call with random questions. Now to the important stuff that people will remember...the FOOD!! Holy cannoli, the food was incredible! People still compliment us months later. And there was a ton of food, which was super important to us, we didn't want anyone going home hungry. Everything came out amazing and the desserts were to die for! I mean talk about customer service...people complimented us on the servers! One thing we didn't even expect to be amazing, but actually made all the difference in our day was (please forgive me if this was not her name) Trish. She was our attendant for the day and wow was she incredible. I mean, our glasses were never empty, we never questioned anything! She took care of it all. We took photos, she'd be there giving us drinks, carrying my train, helping with my veil, she even sat down on a wet spot to dry it so I could sit to take photos...SHE WAS AMAZING!! She made the day! I don't know what we would have done without her. She kept the day on schedule without being intrusive and helped keep us calm and hydrated. She even sent us home with leftovers in case we got hungry. LBV is an amazing venue with exceptional customer service and phenomenal food. You cannot go wrong with them, your day will be amazing!

We really cannot say enough wonderful things about La Bella Vista. From start to finish Andrew made us feel like family. The entire staff at LBV is extremely easy to work with and helped make what can be a very stressful day, completely stress free. Even on a chilly rainy October day, our day went off without a hitch. La Bella Vista is a beautiful facility with FANTASTIC food. Even now, nearly 1 year later, we are STILL getting compliments about the food at our wedding! We have recommended LBV to many of our newly engaged friends & family and will absolutely continue to rave about them. The newly renovated marble dance floor creates a classy, timeless, and truly elegant backdrop. We honestly cannot think of one criticism of our experience with La Bella Vista. Their service, attention to detail, and professional yet relaxed demeanor made our experience absolutely wonderful. For anyone with a food allergy, rest assured they will take great care of you. I have a very severe gluten allergy...the last thing I wanted was to get sick on my wedding day! I notified Andrew of this and he promised his staff would deliver and they certainly did. The facility, food, and people, make LBV hands down the BEST wedding venue in CT!

I don't even know where to start, working with La Bella Vista was amazing from beginning to end! I worked closely with Amanda for all of the planning and meetings for my wedding on May 13th and she is so amazing! She was constantly available to answer any question I had and she always had such good ideas. We were scheduled to have the ceremony outdoors, but leading up to the wedding day, rain was in the forecast. We ended up having our ceremony inside in the foyer and it was beyond beautiful! Trish was our maitre d' and she was beyond awesome! She showed us around the reception room before the ceremony began and I seriously was speechless. I was so blown away by how they brought my vision to life in such an amazing way, and went even beyond that! Not only is the environment amazing and beautiful, but the food is out of this world. No one left hungry, that's for sure! Everyone kept commenting about how amazing the food was, and then they presented the Venetian table. It was phenomenal, from the insane amount of desserts to the intricate fruit carvings and sparklers, I couldn't ask for anything more. La Bella Vista and everyone involved truly made my wedding day something I will NEVER forget! Everyone went above and beyond and far exceeded all of my expectations, I wish I could re-live that night all over again!!

I felt terrible that the day of the wedding i wasn't able to see everything in the perspective of what a wedding guest would have seen, but when we saw our professional pictures, my mind was blown. Our wedding looked absolutely nothing short of amazing. The weather didn't end up being the best, so Ashley & the La Bella Vista Staff were able to change our nuptials to be exchanged inside. It looked BREATH TAKING. From every guest i have spoken to, they LOVED EVERYTHING! The setup, the food, the staff, the music, photographers. Everything! Not one person had anything bad to say!! they were all impressed.My now husband ( Steven) and I are so unbelievably thankful that La Bella Vista was so organized and made up for our wedding shenanigans!

As soon as the limo pulled into the parking lot the staff was outside to greet us and we met Trish! Trish was our go to woman all night long! She was one step ahead of us with everything we wanted! Trish made us feel like celebrities all night and she was the best personal assistant anyone could want! The entire staff was friendly and helped execute the evening flawlessly!

From day one, LBV's staff was accommodating, friendly, helpful and flexible in all the ways that mattered. It's very clear that this is a family run operation and they make a point to personally ensure that everything exceeds expectations. Ashley was our main point of contact and we couldn't have been in better hands. She handled all of the little details so that we wouldn't have to stress about anything during crunch time. The entire staff was awesome during the reception and the food was to die for. Our guests still won't shut up about how much food there was and how delicious everything was.
