Bella Sera Event Center Reviews

I cannot express enough how incredible our experience was at The Bella Sera. From the moment we first visited, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for our entire wedding journey. The all-inclusive “Italiano” package truly took a the stress out of planning, allowing us to focus on what mattered most—celebrating our love with our family and friends.

The entire team - Payten, Annicia, and owners Elisabeth and John went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we could never have imagined. The décor was stunning, the food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable.
Our guests are still raving about how stunning everything was! They’ve told us it was the most fun and exquisite wedding they’ve ever attended.

What stood out the most was the genuine care and attention from the staff. They made us feel like we were the only couple that mattered, and their enthusiasm for making our day special was evident. Every aspect of our wedding day was executed flawlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.

Thanks to Bella Sera- our wedding was the happiest day of our lives. We are so grateful for all the effort and dedication that went into making our celebration unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free and magical wedding experience!

Bella Sera did above and beyond for our wedding. They exceeded all expectations. They made my dream wedding into reality. John and Elisebeth, the owner were the main reason we choose this venue. John made the wedding custom and all about us. Elisebeth’s eye for the details is exceptional! She saw things we would have never thought of. We would recommend this place for anyone looking to get marry. It’s beautiful and the people will help you achieve your fairytale wedding.

The Bella Sera did not disappoint in giving us the wedding we were hoping for! From the beginning my husband and I said we wanted it to be classy (especially since the wedding was on New Year's Eve) and a great experience for our guests- the staff at the Bella Sera completely understood that and made it happen! There are too many specific instances for me to mention but any time we asked about something we were hoping to have on our wedding day (ie. countdown clock to midnight, private cocktail party for the wedding party, specific desserts on dessert bar, etc, etc) they immediately began figuring out how to make it happen. Special thanks to Sari and Elisabeth for keeping in touch with us through the entire planning process as we were from out of state. We booked the Bella Sera without even seeing it but Sari and Elisabeth did a wonderful job of keeping us in the loop and we were not disappointed when we finally got to see the place. Special thanks to Mandi as well. She was our event coordinator on the day of the wedding and she made the day ABSOLUTELY STRESS-FREE! She kept the timeline on track but was still flexible, ensured we were equipped with anything we needed and most of all, ensured we enjoyed our special day. The Bella Sera staff is wonderful and we got so many compliments on how smoothly the wedding went and how much fun people had- quote some of our friends, it was "the best wedding they've been to!". The venue is absolutely gorgeous and was decorated to the exact style we were hoping for. I must also mention how great the food was- plenty of great options given to us and tasted fresh the day of. Quote our friends again, it wasn't the "typical food you see at weddings". I could go on but the bottom line is, you will NOT regret having your wedding at the Bella Sera. It is an amazing value for what turns out to feel and look like a platinum wedding! We couldn't be happier and couldn't have asked for a less stressful and carefree wedding on New Year's Eve!

Bella Sera and their staff truly made our special day magical. Unfortunately, with COVID we had to move our wedding date multiple times due to health concerns and Bella Sera was very kind and accommodating for us to do so. I do not have enough words to express how grateful we were to work with this venue. Their venue was gorgeous and they truly put on a spectacular show that left our guests in awe as we have received nothing but compliments. Elizabeth, John, Misti, and Austin are genuine people who truly care about the people they work with to have the best wedding possible. If you want an unforgettable event, Bells Sera is the place you want to book with.

The Bella Sera is a wonderful place to get married. They made it easy for me to just show up and have a good time. Elisabeth is very talented and wonderful to work with. She is an amazing Wedding Co-coordinator and planner. I will definitely be recommending the Bella Sera to my friends and family!!!!

Elisabeth, the owner, treated us with such kindness and shared our excitement from our very first meeting. It was such a pleasure to work with her, she was patient and accommodating to our various ideas and vision for our wedding day.

We were very fortunate to have worked with her for much of the planning process, she even made herself available for our design session, and most of my wedding night.

They have a huge selection of beautiful decor, backdrops, and lightning that really made our wedding special and visually stunning. My guests will not soon forget the many magical experiences throughout the night, to include pyrotechnics, fog, sparklers, and bubbles. Are these things… necessary? No. You don’t need these things to have an amazing wedding, but it sure did enhance the magical feeling that lasted the whole night.

The food was delicious, they kept the drinks coming, DJ Joe was included in our package and he was an absolute rockstar. He understands the assignment, he listens to you needs wants and feel for the night, he did not miss any of our ceremony songs or bizarre requests, and he was truly just a wonderful person.

The best part about this venue is that you truly don’t have to worry about coordinating with vendors because they do that for you, their staff was great and Carissa was our day of coordinator along with Elisabeth and she was an absolute rockstar. She is super kind and patient and took care of us all night. They even boxed up our decor and guest book for us at the end of the night.

There were very few hiccups in our wedding planning process, Covid being the biggest obstacle for us. At the wedding there was only one small misunderstanding with the bar service that was corrected quickly. The staff here know what they’re doing, they know how to throw a party and make it special. My guests had such a great time and it was really the greatest night of my life.

I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Bella Sera completely blew me away. Such a stress free and beautiful day! Everyone who attended the wedding said it was the most fun wedding they’ve been to!! I would 120% recommend the venue to anyone!!

The venue is absolutely beautiful not to mention the lighting and theater effects are impressive! Management very helpful! If you are looking for that magical place to have that special day. This is the place! No need to go anywhere else!! The service, the venue, the food, the Dj, the designer, the photographer all so fabulous! One stop shop! The fact that Elizabeth made the wedding planning so convenient and easy! The amazing packages according to budget is so awesome. Not to mention the venue is beautiful! The lighting and options for decor is absolutely stunning! Very updated Very elegant. I can't thank you enough for making my wedding day the most beautiful magical experience!!❤

Working with this venue was the best choice we made. The staff is a joy to work with and they made everything as stress-free as possible. We put our full trust in them to create a beautiful ceremony and reception, and they far exceeded our expectations. I'd recommend this venue to anyone!

Honestly the best choice that anyone could ever make in a wedding venue. They listened to everything we needed, gave us suggestions for things we did not think about and helped us through every step of the way. Their easy all inclusive packages made the one stop shopping so simple and allowed my husband and I to focus on each other during our engagement period; rather than scrambling all over town to find different vendors to come together. Our wedding was supposed to happen in July 2020 originally and was postponed to October 2020. We were able to have it under stricter conditions but we were so disappointed that we had to make drastic changes. Our decisions and changes ultimately leaded to us having the best day of our lives. Bella Sera helped me to achieve the "Fairy Tale" wedding I always dreamed, and my husband would agree that everything exceeded any expectations he could ever have. We are so thankful to Bela Sera for helping us to have the best wedding day that we could have ever dreamed up.

I can’t say enough great things about the Bella sera. They were incredible throughout the whole wedding planning process and even worked with us to postpone due to covid. They accommodated every request and made our wedding day absolutely magical. I will always recommend the Bella Sera for those who want to have a perfect, stress-free, and unforgettable day!

Special thank you to Austin for answering my million emails throughout the planning process.

If you want a venue that is all-inclusive and as little stress as possible with the most helpful staff to accommodate your needs, then this is the venue for you! Not to mention, the venue is just beautiful and I feel in love with the venue upon first sight. I could definitely see us getting married there! The food was great, the staff set's up and break's down for you, our wedding coordinator Janelle was awesome and the staff there over all is very helpful and professional. Our guest couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was and had a great time! We couldn't have asked for anything better and would definitely recommend.

Working with the Bella Sera made wedding planning a breeze, it was completely stress free, and everyone had so much fun. They make the wedding planning and preparations fun, which was so important to us! Thanks again, Bella Sera, we love you!

Amazing experience! Stress free and they made sure everything was on time and perfect. The staff was great!

Right off, everyone employed at the Bella Sera is extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and 100% committed to making your event exactly what you want. The Bella Sera was the first place we visited and after the consultation, we knew immediately that it was the place for us. Most people tell you to shop around but we were positive that this was the place for us.

Our consultation was about a year and a half out from when we wanted to get married. We met with the owner, John, and he was one of those people you automatically feel comfortable with. He was warm and welcoming and truly made an effort to get to know us in the short time we had with him. We went over a rather comprehensive list of all things wedding in order to determine desired elements, budget, and generally whether or not they would be able to accommodate us. John was upfront and honest with us that they always assess the uniqueness of each event to make sure the Bella Sera is a good fit for everyone and that they are not solely interested in getting booked like other venues. If they feel they can't accommodate an event, they will be honest about it which is something that stood out to me and in my opinion, speaks volumes about their character and integrity. Apart from our wonderful meeting with John, the venue is GORGEOUS. We were able to tour the space and the attention to detail and the way the decorations and lighting all come together is truly magical. We ended the meeting extremely excited and even though we probably would have booked them that same day, John encouraged us to go home and think about it before we made any decisions. Again, they truly have your best interest in mind and want your event to be perfect, even if it isn't with them. We never felt pressured.

When we were ready, I was able to call and book our date over the phone. Again, everyone was super friendly and flexible. Over the course of the year leading up to our date, we had a series of meetings meant to accomplish various things. We worked with Austin throughout the rest of our process and he was the best. At our first meeting, we confirmed any details we had covered at the consultation and talked more about budget, guest count, etc. Here, we learned a little more about the different packages and what was included in each of them. The next meeting was event production where we discussed dances, add-ons, activities, etc. Pretty much the logistics of the event and the elements we wanted. Here, we were able to decide what add-ons we wanted, we decided to do fun things like the photo booth, sparklers, and the s'mores and hot chocolate bar. The third meeting was the design meeting where we got to choose our lighting, decorations, everything! They have specific individuals who specialize in design and we had so many options to choose from. Anything you have in mind, they can make it happen. We did a winter wonderland theme and everything was beautiful! The possibilities with them are limitless! They put a table together for you so you can see what everything will look like. The fourth meeting was food tasting and that was a lot of fun. The food was tasty and we ended up going with the chicken alfredo and the pork tenderloin. After this, we had a final meeting just before the wedding where we went over all the details again and were able to meet with the DJ and select our music for the ceremony and the dance. During all of this, payments and communication were also super easy as they use Honey Book which was really great to use and allowed us to have all of our stuff in one place.

The rehearsal was the day before our event and it was quick and painless. The Bella Sera really has everything down to a science so the run-through was really easy. At this point, they'll have pretty much everything set up for your event so when we walked in to see all of our stuff up, it was breathtaking! We did a few practice runs and went on our way.

The day of the wedding was extremely stress free. Everyone always says that something always goes wrong at weddings but I can honestly say, everything went perfectly smooth. Because the Bella Sera has everything taken care of, I didn't have to worry about anything. The day of the wedding, they had a full staff, all with radios so they were all communicating and on the same page. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and they really allow you to focus on being the bride/groom rather than also being an event planner. They made sure everything was set up and even ensured I wouldn't see the groom and that he wouldn't see me. There was no "standing around" time, they really planned everything so that the guests weren't bored and always kept them moving so there was no awkward limbo.

They really take care of everything: planning, production, food, DJ, photography, bar, and fun extras. All we really had to do on our own was hair/makeup, dress/suits, flowers, invitations, and cake. We also booked a mariachi band on our own, which the happily accommodated and incorporated.

The DJ who was assigned to us was Enrique and he was amazing. He took the time to help us figure out and plan our music. He was also a great bilingual DJ and was able to do everything in both English and Spanish without a flaw. He was fun and kept the crowd moving. Our photographer was Andrea and she was also wonderful. The engagement session is part of the package and those turned out great. All of the wedding photos turned out amazing as well and she and her partner captured every moment.

There was so much that went into our wedding and I didn't feel any of the stress of it. Everything was so detailed and for everything that is included, it really is an amazing value. You can have a beautiful wedding for less than what most pay. Words cannot express the experience we had and how grateful we are for the Bella Sera family. I can truly say my wedding day was perfect and everything I wanted.

We had our wedding this last Friday and it couldn't have been more perfect! Austin and Elisabeth helped throughout the whole Covid process to give us the wedding of our dreams. They were excellent in answering messages and emails quickly and kept us updated every step of the way. They had everything you could possibly need from the last minute seamstress to the cake baker to even the DJ and photographer. When we walked into our wedding day we didn't have to do or worry about anything since they took care of everything for us! If you want stress free planning and a great wedding no matter what the circumstances are, this is the place for you!

When we first visited the Bella we were completely awestruck with how amazing and beautiful the venue looked. Even though it was only the 2nd venue we had visited, we knew right then it was the place we wanted to have our day.

Their staff wasted no time turning a typically stressful wedding checklist into an easy, breathable timeline that turned our ideas into a reality. From the delicious food choices and in house cooking to the countless fun and quirky wedding additions we had an absolute blast planning our wedding.

We never had any concerns that the Bella wouldn't be able to meet our expectations, and we even realized they often exceeded them.

When Covid-19 struck earlier this year and threatened our happy ever after, the Bella fought everyday to ensure that our wedding still happened. They were very flexible and accommodating, and we were always at the forefront of their agenda.

We will gladly recommend the Bella to anyone who is looking to have an amazing, once in a lifetime wedding experience that is filled with joy, happiness, and on top of all that — a laid back and easy wedding planning adventure.

Where to start with the wonderful Bella Sera, my husband and I were married here on February 22, 2020. At our initial consult in February 2019, we met with John and Elisabeth, and we left in tears, knowing that this was where our fairy tale wedding would take place. John and Elisabeth truly are in it for the people. Their entire approach is to take your vision, and apply their experience, so that the final product is breath taking and exactly what you wanted. The decor that Bella Sera has available will allow every bride to customize a look entirely their own, the combinations are endless from votives and back drops, to aisle decor and table decor, up- lighting and grand entrances; your day is truly going to look like your dreams. Elisabeth will literally do anything she can to help you pin down a vision, even if that means making something new for you, and as someone who searched at ALL of the local venues, you will not find decor like you do here. Not to mention, they will set it up AND tear it down for you! What?! The Bella Sera is a one stop shop for your typical wedding vendors as well! With the packages available, you can find a caterer, a photographer, and a DJ that are all reputable and have worked together with Bella Sera for years, so they are well versed in the production that each wedding is. (And they are WONDERFUL!) At every turn, my husband and I were treated like family, and you will be to, because that it just how they treat everyone. At the end of our night, and for the weeks following, my husband and I are still getting reports of, "that was the best wedding we've ever been too", "that was the wedding of the year", "we've never seen a wedding like that", and your guests will say the same thing after choosing Bella Sera for your wedding day!

The Bella Sera makes your wedding experience stress free. They handle everything including most vendors! They ensured we have a spectacular night with no stress. The best night of my life

My daughter’s wedding at the Bella Serra could not have been more perfect

Bella Sera was special from the very moment we walked through the door. The vibe and immediate excitement from the staff is obvious from the start. We were given so many options and details to make our vision unique to us. Our original wedding day was unexpectedly hit with the Covid shut down and our guest list would be altered dramatically. Austin and Elizabeth stayed in contact with us with until our day could finally happen. Their flexibility and willingness to work with any of our ideas, address our concerns or just be there to answer any question big or small exceeded our expectations. The big day was magical!! Never a dull moment, the timing is so perfect. We were able to enjoy every second with our family with no worries about what needed to happen next and that was the best part for us!! The Photographer and DJ were perfect!! Thank you Elizabeth for making us feel so special and loved. Thank you Austin for making sure we were having the time of our life until the very last minute of our event!! We HIGHLY recommend booking Bella Sera for any large event!!

Honestly if I could put 6 stars I would! I got married at the Bella Sera on August 1st, 2020. At first it was very stressful trying to plan and execute a wedding during a pandemic. We had to significantly reduce our guest count in order to follow social distancing and keep people safe. For a long time my husband and I questioned if we should just reschedule the wedding to next year and were worried it wouldn't be the perfect wedding of our dreams that we initially pictured.

But then we realized that life is rarely as perfect as we think it's going to be and sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and focus on positivity. If you always wait for the "perfect" time to do something then you could be waiting your whole life!

A pandemic wedding isn't normal, but it can so much more beautiful when you're able to celebrate love in a dark time and not let anything stop you from becoming one with the person you love most.

THANK YOU to the Bella Sera for making sacrifices along with us to make sure our day was still special and fun. They went the complete extra mile to ensure me, my husband, and our guests were happy from the first day of the planning process to the very last minute of our wedding day.

If you value happiness, love, union, and fun then please go check out the Bella Sera for your wedding! My husband and I looked at a few other venues before choosing the Bella Sera and though many of them were flashy, they lacked the substance that the Bella Sera provides.

To us, a wedding is about the union and celebration of our love, and even though we had to make some sacrifices, we had a BLAST on our wedding day. The only thing I would have changed would have been to make the day go by slower!

Again, thank you so very much to John, Elisabeth, Austin, and your whole staff for working so hard to make our wedding process unique and enjoyable. You guys are amazing!!!!

The Bella Sera team was amazing. Especially, Janell she was soooo helpful and made everything run so smooth and made us felt so comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better place to have our winter wedding.

The Bella Sera was great! They were super flexible with our work schedules for our meetings and they made the whole experience so easy! The place is beautiful and the staff was so nice and they didn’t miss even the tiniest of details!
