Welcome to the Bella Collina Mansion!
Allow Us to Introduce Ourselves ...
The Bella Collina Mansion was built beginning in 2005 as Stokesdale's most impressive
and elegant private home.
Because the Bella Collina Mansion is a private home, the mansion is available for public
events on a limited basis. This limited availability combined with the extraordinary
popularity of the Bella Collina can frequently make finding an available date quite
challenging. But take heart. We will do everything we can to find the perfect date for
your perfect wedding.
Why is our venue pricing so affordable?
This is the one question we are asked most often and the answer is quite simple: The
owners of the Bella Collina Mansion purposely made them that way. They want everyone to
be able to enjoy the beauty and elegance of the home. In short, North Carolina's most
elegant and romantic event location is also one of the most affordable. Now... the only
problem is finding that date!
What About Those Pesky Extra Charges?
Frankly, we just don't have them. The family wants everyone to enjoy the mansion without
the usual stress added by things like "Cake cutting fees", "Bottle uncorking fees,"
"Electrical usage fees," etc., etc., etc. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everything in life
were this simple (and affordable)?
The Bella Collina Mansion offers "all inclusive" packages to make your day absolutely
perfect. The best thing any bride and groom can do is visit the mansion. This will allow
you to choose a setting that is perfect for you... Once we choose a setting, we will sit
with you and discuss pricing based on your wedding size.
Other vendors associated with the program may have additional charges, but those
charges are made known upfront. For instance, wedding day photography coverage comes in the
package. However, you may want to add an engagement photo session. Hors d'oeuvres are not included in
cocktail hour. If you choose to add something, this would be an upcharge. If you book at
least ten rooms with our hotel, we will provide transportation to and from for up to
eleven guests. You may purchase more shuttles if necessary. Photographers have
engagement and bridal shoots you can add to your package. As a package, we do not
believe in upcharges. Although we know many people differ and will add many things to
their package with their associated vendors.
To keep it simple we will highlight two of our most popular packages:
The Emerald Package ~
It is easier to tell you what this package doesn't include... This package does not
include your wedding dress, your tuxedo, a marriage license, your cake or personalizing
the event with decorations... But if you can handle that, you can easily get married at
Bella Collina Mansion with everything you need.
