Villa Festa was a dream venue! I think it was the most talked about aspect of our wedding by guests! I was very picky trying to find a venue- I wanted outdoor ceremony/reception but not a beach or barn wedding. I also wanted a wedding that felt special and intimate, but there are so many venues that pump out multiple weddings in a day. Villa Festa was one of the only venues I found that impressed us and fit within our budget. Every corner of the space has been carefully thought out. Beth designed it in a way that pays homage to the vintage aesthetic of the home while also keeping it modern and neutral. Our favorite aspect is the extended stay. So often a venue kicks you out at last call, we had the venue until the Wednesday following our event date. That really allowed us to continue making memories in the space. I feel like I will remember so much more of our special day because we truly got to live in it. We had our first date night out as Mr. and Mrs in DeLand (so magical and cute around the holidays!), we reminisced our wedding night while we swam and picnicked at the local springs, we cozied up and listened to records in the honeymoon suite. It was honestly perfection. And Beth and Brian were phenomenal to work with! We’d give them 10 stars if we could. We are so grateful such lovely people have created this stunning venue and that we found it! Reviewed on 16-12-2023

Words cannot begin to describe how special, intimate, beautiful and amazing it was to have our wedding at Villa Festa. From the first day we stepped on property it felt familiar and comfortable with such beauty and grace. Beth and Brian are so helpful and knowledgeable on the wedding industry in general and helped so much with simple advice and ideas to make our weekend as smooth as possible. Fast forward to the wedding weekend and we arrived with our favorite treat stocked around the house and adorable cookies customized for us! It’s the little details and they don’t leave any behind. We fell in love with VF immediately but she will forever hold such a special and important place in my heart and being able to stay atttt the venue all weekend was beyond special and allowed us the time to soak it all in with what truly is a whirlwind of a time. I couldn’t recommend VF more and how perfect the setting is for such a special time. Reviewed on 12-12-2023

We had the best wedding at Villa Festa! We stayed with the bridal party at the venue from Friday to Monday. This made the whole experience amazing, as we were able to spend so much quality time with our family and friends. We had the ceremony under the oak trees, dinner under the pavilion and the dance floor/bar on the pavers. I think this was a great flow throughout the night, and was the perfect size for our wedding of 85 guests. Beth at Villa Festa was so nice and accommodating and was quick to answer any questions we had. My guests were raving about the venue and the night as a whole! There are also so many places to take pictures for your portraits and group shots! The landscaping and house gave such a romantic vibe and the lighting is perfect, especially as the sun sets. Overall, I can't say enough amazing things about Villa Festa and all the vendors who we worked with to make my wedding magical. Reviewed on 13-11-2023

Jaclyne Moore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-02-2023 Feb, 2023 Villa festa bride here! I can’t recommend Villa festa enough for your next event. Especially for a wedding! We had 100 people wedding and I was so nervous I would lose that intimate feeling because we had a higher guest count than your average “intimate” wedding but it was the exact opposite. We had our ceremony on the lawn and dinner under the pavilion at sunset and the whole atmosphere was so dreamy and beautiful. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because I definitely would. We chose Villa festa because of the owners Beth & her husband, they sold us on the dream of the perfect venue where you can stay a few days like a vacation and party with your family and friends, but they made it a reality for my new husband and I and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Beth!! Reviewed on 05-03-2023
