Bella Donna Chapel
This Romanesque style chapel wedding venue in McKinney is decidedly less expensive than lugging your wedding party and guests to a remote village in Italy and maaaaybe, just a little bit cooler too. As Dallas wedding venues go, Bella Donna Chapel is definitely unique. Set up on one of two islands in the Harbor of the Adriatica Village, it’s the perfect setting for a Dallas wedding straight out of 18th century Europe. The chapel is made of stone, inspired by Italian village churches and the only path to enter is by footbridge, so a memorable entrance and lasting impression for your guests is guaranteed. The remote Italian ambiance of Bella Donna continues once you step inside and get a load of the domed fresco painted ceiling, antique pews and slabs of ancient limestone carvings salvaged from Tuscany that adorn the chapel. Hardly the wedding location for the couple who isn’t looking to make a splash, this chapel is also filled with sultry colors thanks to intricate chandeliers, large stained glass windows and a patterned tile floor. Bella Donna seats up to 185 guests and reception site fees start at $1,500. Site fees include chairs and parking.
