The one stop shop that made our wedding dreams a reality
After visiting several wedding venues, we were dismayed by the services offered in association with the venues' costs and amenities. We were growing concerned we wouldn't find a venue offering the services, amenities & the date we wanted for our wedding. My sister previously attended a wedding @ Bella Collina (BC) & told us how beautiful the venue was. One afternoon, we drove to BC's location to "sneak a peek" & at first sight, we knew this was the venue for my wedding! The location is absolutely breathtaking, not to mention, inside the mansion with its vintage, Tuscany castle vibe. We prayed & God answered our prayers! From the moment of contract until the departure of our last guests on our wedding day, the staff at BC NEVER disappointed us! They were extremely professional and friendly; attentive & approachable; communicative & directive; extremely helpful, supportive & reassuring AND they listened to us and delivered! The technology- BOSS APP, made it extremely helpful to communicate with BC staff & our preferred vendors any time- day or night, knowing we would get a timely response to our questions or issues within 24 hours or less. The APP also provided many useful organizational tools-timelines, calendars & appointment reminders, budget information & invoices, etc., which we appreciated immensely! Because we are a seasoned couple, we desired a customized, non-traditional yet spiritual wedding experience. BC's selection of services, amenities & wedding packages offered in their all-inclusive menu exceeded our needs. During the day of interviews, the direction & planning tools we received immediately lowered my anxieties about planning & vendor selection for all our services & specialty needs. We felt BC knew the professional reputation of its vendors. After BC's staff spoke with us and understood our vision, the recommended vendors (DJ, photographer, caterer, florist, cake designer, rental supplier) matched our energy, engulfed our vision & worked phenomenally in our favor. I can't speak enough about how valuable the organization, coordination & consultant services from Erin and Kara were. Having a Type A personality and an over achiever mentality, I appreciate detail-orientation, punctuality, task completion, direct communication and active listening & Erin and Kara's personality styles blended perfectly with my type! Our wedding ceremony will forever be remembered by us, family, friends & guests as THE experience like no other, orchestrated by God with the help of Bella Collina. Bella Collina is truly the ONE STOP SHOP that made our wedding dreams a reality!
