Look no further

Bella Collina is INCREDIBLE!!! My heart was set on this venue years ago. I didn't tour anywhere else. Joe and Erin made the entire experience so easy. I was never stressed about anything during the planning process with them. Day of Interviews allowed me to pick all my vendors all in one day, eliminating all the calling around and searching for people available on the same day. My wedding was a fairytale wedding. It was exactly what I dreamed about all those years ago when I fell in love with their venue. All my guests have commented on how incredible the staff of Bella Collina was. Even the smallest of details, they were on top of it. The day ran so smooth. Something was always going on to entertain our guests. At least half our guests have reached out to us to tell us that was the best wedding they had ever been too.

I feel obligated to tell everyone engaged couple I know to entrust their day to Bella Collina. There is NO WAY you will be disappointed. Everyone went above and beyond to make my day perfect! Not even one hiccup! I'm a Bella Bride for life!!

Thank you Joe!

Brilliant!

There are no words to describe how insanely brilliant this team is..but i'm going to try! I just got married at Bella this past weekend, 12.11.21, and it was such a crazy day with a few last minute hiccups (road closures, unexpected parade downtown, unforgiving mother nature, etc.) and this team wasn't fazed at all...they continued to handle everything professionally and with such grace. I felt so safe and taken care of on my big day and I couldn't imagine a better place to get married. Kara, Erin, and Joe are wonderful and were always willing to go above and beyond to make my day perfect. Kara was ON POINT and I couldn't have asked for a more experienced, calm, and attentive day of supervisor! I highly recommend Brian Anthony Photography and Derrick at Siren Studies as they both went to GREAT LENGTHS to make sure I got every sweet moment captured inside/outside despite weather issues and time constraints (not to mention Brian laying down on the wet ground MULTIPLE times to ensure we got a great picture). Again...this was the best day I have ever had and it wouldn't have been possible without the Bella Collina Team. Much love always.

This venue was THE BEST for our wedding. They have a whole system down that makes your wedding day run smoothly and efficiently.

INCREDIBLE IN EVERY WAY. Bella gave me the wedding of my dreams. From day 1 they were helping me plan and followed my ideas of having the traditional aspects of a wedding but making them my own. The vendors they provided were impeccable. All of my guests were AMAZED at the venue and how beautiful it was. I love this venue and the staff, thank you all for giving us our dream wedding and making it not only the best night of our lives but our guests as well ! Every single one told us that was the BEST wedding/night of their lives.

My Dream Wedding Venue

I don't know where to start. Bella Collina Mansion is the place to wed at. Their ability to provide their couples with everything they need is top notch. Joe and Erin are an amazing team. We booked this venue 2yrs ago because we wanted to have it all. We wanted to ensure that our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. They are so organized and beyond attentive. Our wedding date was 9.3.21. The setup was beautiful, the way that the entire Bella team worked with one another was amazing to watch. Our wedding was a dream that they helped make possible. We hired all of there recommended ppl. The Day of Interviews that they schedule

helps to make that process a smooth and easy one. Joe and Erin leave no wedding planning stone unturned. I 100% recommend them and so does my wife. They are LGBTQIA+ friendly. They treated us amazingly well. Our bridal party had a grand time and they loved the way Bella moved. Our parents were pleased and felt that Bella went above and beyond to make the day so what it was. If you're thinking of getting married here, you will not regret it. The property alone will make you fall in love!!

Best decision of our wedding!

Going with Bella Collina for our wedding venue was by far the best decision we made during wedding planning--besides getting married, of course ;-] From the start Joe and Erin made us feel like family. I read tons of horror stories in different wedding groups from other brides about things going wrong on their wedding day with their vendors and/or venue. We NEVER had to worry about that with Bella, we knew that every one of their vendors would show up and give 100%. I actually got to enjoy wedding planning because I knew they had everything under control. The communication was outstanding, the vendors were professional and accommodating, and they made our day the absolute best day of our lives!

Fairytale Wedding (even during COVID)

I could write a book with the number of positive things I have about my Bella Collina experience. The wedding process was painless and less stressful that’s for sure (since they literally have so many vendors included in their all inclusive packages). I am know to be a bit of an overachiever and literally researched and talked to 15+ venues, but we toured Bella first....Let’s just say we went home, toured a venue the following weekend but all we did was talk about how it wasn’t like Bella. Just take tour, talk to Erin or Joe. You will see what I am talking about

Absolutely the most beautiful venue ever!!!!

Words can’t even express how amazing our wedding experience was at this venue. We planned our wedding for almost a year and a half and Joe and his staff were with us the entire way. We recently were married Nov 8 2020 and every single vendor with this venue was amazing, so attentive, so passionate about making this the perfect wedding for me and my hubby. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and stole my heart from the moment I stepped foot inside. I can’t even imagine our perfect wedding anywhere else. I really can’t speak more highly of this venue. Joe and Erin and all of their staff are phenomenal!! This is really a Bride’s dream come true castle. Even my guests were all in awww with the beauty of the mansion and the wonderful staff!!!!

Incredible Experience and Amazing Staff

First of all, how organized this venue is with coordinating your wedding and every day leading up to that is incredible. The venue owner, Joe and his staff will bend over backwards to make your day special. They have done so many weddings that you hardly have anything to do or worry about when it comes to your wedding day. Our wedding day at this venue is definitely memorable, thanks to Joe and his amazing team.

Dreams Do Come True

As a little girl I’ve always dreamed of having a ‘fairytale’ wedding and Joe and the staff at Bella literally made it come true!! I am just in awe at how beautiful our day was and I wish I could do it all again just for fun!! Fabulous venue, awesome staff and flawless execution! They really do know what they’re doing!

Bella Collina - The BEST venue

Where to even begin!!

When we found this venue, I would say that my husband and I had already toured over 10 other venues before Bella Collina and we had seen a few others that we had liked but none that we were set on that had quite the “wow” factor that Bella Collina has! We were actually just looking through venues and Bella Collina popped up and we read all the reviews and saw the awesome ratings and knew we had to check it out! From the moment we drove up the driveway and set eyes on the venue and the scenery. I knew without a doubt this would be where we would be getting married. The location is just so beautiful and the mansion is exquisite. It was perfect!

Erin gave us a tour of the mansion and we instantly fell in love with everything that day. She was super friendly and answered all our questions! My husband and I both agreed that day that it was where we wanted to get married. We soon met the venue owner, Joe, and happily secured our date!

Joe and Erin are both super friendly and easy to communicate with. My husband and I were super impressed with how everything was set up and how easily it is to get things scheduled with them. Their communication with us was spot on! They are so easy to work with. Something we really enjoyed was something called “Day of Interviews” where we got to come in and meet some of Bellas preferred vendors and then pick the ones we would like to work with. This helped take away a lot of the stress that lots of other engaged couples have to go through with finding vendors separately.

Since our wedding ceremony was planned to be outdoors by the lake, when it came down to the last couple of days before our wedding and we had to make a decision about whether to move the ceremony inside or not because of the weather. Joe was absolutely amazing at making sure that we still got to have our dream wedding by watching the weather and helping us plan accordingly down to the last couple of hours! :)

We got to have our first dance out on the balcony overlooking our guests out on the patio, which was breathtaking! All of our friends and family have been talking about it for the past couple of weeks since our wedding.

Thanks to Joe, Erin, this amazing venue, and staff we got to have our dream wedding. It was everything we could have ever imagined! You can really tell that they love what they do and it shows. Thank you for helping us have our happily ever after! You really showed us that you genuinely care :)

Bella Collina exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond what we could ever have imagined a wedding venue doing. We felt at ease on the day of our wedding in their hands.

Exceeded all our expectations!!

It was flawless from beginning to end! When we were inquiring about venues to hold our wedding and celebration, a photographer friend of ours commented on Bella by saying ‘it is run like a well oiled machine’. WOW!! And does it ever!! The day, the venue, the vendors, owner and all of those that contributed. PERFECT is the word that comes to mind. Even with COVID thwarting our original plans, Joe went above and beyond to accommodate and make our wedding day the fairy tale we were looking for. We can’t say enough...we highly recommend Bella to anyone!! Kim and Tom

Best Wedding Venue in North Carolina!

Professional, dedicated, and beautifully crafted doesn't even begin to describe the experience you will get at Bella Collina. By far the very best wedding venue in North Carolina, without a doubt. Trust me, my wife and I looked all over the state and Bella Collina blows all others out of the water! Most professionals who run wedding venues may be good at what they do, but Joe and Erin are at the top of the game. Both of them really LOVE weddings which you can really feel throughout all your experience with them. Joe and Erin facilitated our dream wedding at the peak of COVID-19 and still made it the best experience of my life! Who else could possibly do that?! Their BOSS network of wedding professionals and BOSS software/app make chaotic wedding coordination a breeze. Joe delivered an incredibly special and unique wedding experience that still has all our guests saying, WOAH! From a stunning venue, kneeboarding on the lake in the morning of our wedding, our first dance on a juliet balcony, coordinating all the professionals weeks before and the day of, squeezing in dancing outside while he carefully watches rain radar, and leaving by boat shortly after, Bella Collina delivers the ultimate VIP experience. There's no one else you want planning your wedding other than Joe and Erin. They will never BS you, always give you their honest and open opinion, and will deliver a wedding day neither you nor your guests will ever forget. I would give them 10 stars if I could. The only thing I could wish for is for my friends will have their weddings at Bella Collina in the future so that I can experience their wonderful service all over again! Again, if you're looking for a wedding venue, stop right now and call them immediately.

Real Life Fairytale

There is no where like Bella Collina. Joe and Erin run the mansion likely a finely tuned machine and they are committed to you and your wedding. Even through the COVID pandemic, they made sure that we were able to have the wedding that we have always wanted. Joe was always available to answer questions. My husband and I had extreme anxiety over the wedding and Joe always took the time to make us feel less stressed and confident in his team. We were originally supposed to get married March 28th and had to reschedule. Joe took the time to contact all our vendors for us and made the process so easy. I am thrilled that we chose to get married at Bella Collina, because I honestly think if we would have chosen a different location, we would still not be married.

The day of the wedding was like a fairytale. Everything was magical. Joe and Erin coordinated the entire day and they were there if we had any questions. The staff makes you feel like the king and queen of the mansion. They made sure our day was stress free and that we were always taken care of. They make sure you eat before everyone else and that you are actually put first on your special day. They give you special moments alone with your spouse that would normally be overlooked.

Besides the staff, the mansion itself is breathtaking. I have never seen such a beautiful home. From the bridal tower, to the lake front view, it is absolutely amazing. You also do not have to stress about the weather. Joe has a solid back up plan and is flexible. He watches the weather from hour to hour and can seamlessly switch arrangements when possible.

I honestly wish I could relive our wedding day over and over. Bella Collina gave us the most extraordinary day we could have possibly imagined. We have such happy memories as do our guests.

If you are considering Bella Collina, you should do it ! You will not have one regret. You have waited for this day your entire life and they make it one you will never forget. They are committed to making your day happen and they will not let you down.

Thank you to Joe, Erin, and the entire Bella team. We will miss you guys ! Keep the magic going !

Best Day Ever!

From the very beginning I knew Bella Collina would be a magical place to get married at. Joe was very honest and informative throughout the whole process. I was trying to plan a wedding, close on a house, and study for college exams all at the same time and the staff at Bella Collina made everything effortless. Any questions I had Joe was able to answer them right away with detailed answers. This is a very professional venue and they will create an itinerary so you know exactly how your day will go. They also allow Day of interviews which is where all the vendors come to the mansion and you get to interview them and decide who you want. This made it very easy and convenient. The day of the wedding Joe and the staff made me feel stress free and his mom was very comforting to talk to right before I walked down the aisle. This is a beautiful mansion to fill your fairytale wedding dream. Booking this venue would be the best decision you will ever make.

Told repeatedly it was the best wedding our guests have ever been to

Joe and Erin nailed it. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical of all of the 5-star reviews and people saying their guests thought it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. It’s the biggest party you’ll ever throw and you don’t have any experience in throwing it. Wedding planning is a stressful experience, but take comfort in knowing that Joe and Erin have done this hundreds of times. They know how to throw this party and ours went off without a hitch (well, except for us actually getting hitched!). From the time I showed up that morning, everything was going on behind the scenes and they only needed me for a couple of things right after I walked in the door. I wasn’t interrupted the rest of the morning. I’m an over-planner and even though the evening didn’t go in order of my schedule, such are weddings and the order of how things actually went was probably better than what I had planned. Joe and Erin’s responsiveness during the whole planning process was impressive. I would always get a response within a couple of hours during the weekdays. Their “day of interviews” process is also great. You get all your major vendors booked over the course of an afternoon! Joe oversaw the whole wedding and orchestrated it perfectly. Our guests were so impressed by the scenery as it really is a decoration in and of itself. Thank you, thank you, Joe and Erin! Take it from a former skeptic, save yourself the hassle of taking time off of work over several weeks to meet with vendors and trying to negotiate contracts, and save yourself the stress of coordinating all on your own and just book! I hope your day will be as beautiful as ours was on 11/2/19.

All-Inclusive Fairytale Wedding

Bella Collina Mansion is hands down the best venue to host your wedding! It’s all inclusive, so that’s already an advantage. What we paid for our wedding is what some venues have the nerve to charge just to rent the building. We didn’t have to go looking for vendors, because Bella already had the best vendors working directly with them. It’s a one stop shop, and well worth it.

When we first reached out to them, they responded promptly and answered every one of my 1,000 questions with a smile on their face. Upon our first arrival to the venue, goosebumps went down our spine. The house is immaculate. We met the entire staff and vendors, all of them treating us as if they’ve know us our whole life. You feel the love as soon as you walk through the 12 foot doors!

On the wedding day, they’re by your side each and every step talking you through what to do next and answering any questions you may have. Trust me, you’ll have more questions than you could ever imagine. They’re so calm during all of this, which you end up feeding off of. I went from nervous and not knowing what to do next to calm and confident in my next move. I wouldn’t have been able to survive my own wedding day without them. My parents even want to renew their vows there and both my best man and 12 year old nephew want to only get married at Bella. Yes, this perfect venue made my 12 year old nephew think about marriage rather than batman. Truly amazing.

I highly suggest the boat ride for the groomsmen the morning of the wedding. It costs a little extra, but we had a blast playing in the water at 11am and it distracted our minds on the big fact that it’s a major wedding about to occur shortly after. Before the boat ride we were all uptight, but after we were so relaxed as if we were back at home in the basement on a Sunday shooting pool and watching football. I also did a boat departure after the wedding, which was epic!

A couple of days after our wedding night, my wife realized she couldn’t find a custom gift that she treasured so much. She reached out to Bella, who reviewed the camera footage of where she had it last, and then told us to check a certain spot in a particular plastic bag. Sure enough, it was there! Do you know how much camera footage you have to go through to find such a little gift?! I feel like I owe them all a steak dinner just for that kind gesture because my wife was in tears looking for this. They literally go above and beyond for you, treating your wedding as if it’s there own.

My wife and I have a list of over 150 names that we would name our first child, even our first dog. Bella was never on the list. After experiencing the perfect wedding from start to finish hosted by Bella Collina, we both agreed that if we have a daughter, her name is going to be Bella. That right there goes to show what type of venue this is, how warming and welcoming the Bella Collina family is, and most importantly, how perfect the most important day of our life went.

Thanks again Bella. We will forever be in debt to you!

Love,

Mr. and Mrs. Dillard

What Dreams Are Made Of

Joe, Erin, and their team are everything you would hope for in a wedding venue! They were very responsive with any question we had and made the entire process super easy for us by making sure we had every last detail covered. If something went wrong on the wedding day, I definitely did not know. They handle everything down to the wire so that the bride and groom do not have to worry about it the day of. Plus the venue is just beautiful, what more could you ask for besides a mansion on a lake! My wedding day was everything I dreamed of and it was made possible by this team and venue.

Beautiful and Effortless

From the beginning, the entire staff at Bella Collina and Joe have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They honestly go above and beyond to make sure that your day is EXACTLY what you want it to be. They are transparent about the house rules and are very detail oriented to make sure that all aspects of wedding planning are covered. On the "day of" interviews, they make it so easy by allowing all of the vendors to come to you! This made it very easy for me as I was planning my wedding as an out of town bride. They also provide a 45 day meeting which covered literally every detail of the day that you can imagine. Joe kept our best interest in mind and provided excellent ideas to us to accommodate not only our needs, but our guests needs as well. On the day of our wedding, Joe even offered to take the groom and his party out on his boat as they waited anxiously for the ceremony to start. Not only did Joe and his staff go above and beyond in keeping our timeline on track, but they make sure to make you feel comfortable throughout the entire day. The gave me a pep talk before I walked down the grand staircase (which is beautiful, but a lot scarier standing at the top than you would imagine); they brought cocktail hour food to the wedding party after the ceremony and before pictures to make sure no one went hungry; they also adapted our schedule beautifully when some parts of the wedding went a little longer than what was scheduled. Honestly, we could not thank the staff at Bella Collina enough for making our day perfect and for making us feel like part of the Bella family. They are phenomenal to work with and I would recommend getting married there a million times over.

Dream wedding at a Dream Venue

I found Bella Collina on a wedding website, and as soon as I showed the online photos to my husband we knew it was the place for us! They make the wedding planning process very easy. We were planning a North Carolina wedding from Pittsburgh PA, and Bella Collina made it as stress free as possible for us. With a network of A+ preferred vendors and packages for all budgets, I can't imagine a more professional team. We knew we wanted a lake view, and the views at Bella Collina do not disappoint. There are so many options for ceremony and reception locations on the property, so every wedding can be as unique as you want it. We ended up with a ceremony on the deck in the month of November. You would think this impossible, but Joe monitored the weather conditions until the day before the wedding and made sure to give us everything we wanted! Our guests complimented the smooth transitions throughout the day and the venue itself they kept referring to as "A Fairytale Wedding." I could not agree more! Bonus points: a lovely bridal quarters with enough space for your whole crew to get ready, a super cool grooms suite for the guys to hang out, photo op in so many locations, Juliet balcony for your first dance (private and dreamy), you barely need decorations since the house is so gorgeous (money-saver), a smooth flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to dancing and cake since it is a home so the layout just makes sense! Take a look at the pictures on their website-it is EXACTLY as beautiful as it seems!

Incredible Experience!

I cannot say enough about Joe and Bella. You simply cannot beat the view, the price, or the experience of booking the Bella Collina Mansion. From the moment I toured the mansion, I knew I wanted to get married here. It had everything - romance, elegance, contingency plans for inclement weather, and all inclusive packages. Joe and Erin know their stuff. Information was overwhelming, but completely black and white and I felt like I was in competent hands from the start. Joe and his staff were highly responsive to all of my emails and questions throughout the planning period. The weekend of the wedding went incredibly smoothly. Any and all concerns were handled swiftly and efficiently by Joe and his staff and they went above and beyond to make sure the day went as perfectly as possible. By the end of the night, Joe felt more like a friend than a business owner. I have incredible memories of being at Bella Collina and my MOH has a new skill she can add to her resume - Professional Fluffer will follow her to the grave. Do yourself a favor and book Bella Collina if you're on the fence. You will not be sorry.

GREAT wedding venue

Let me start out by saying that EVERYTHING you have heard about Bella Collina Mansion is true. And I’m pretty sure that you haven’t heard one bad thing about this place. It is as close to perfect as a venue can get. If you want a scenic wedding, complete with a lakeside ceremony, first dance from a balcony, beautiful sunset view, etc., this is the venue for you. If you want an all-inclusive place with seamless transitions for you and your guests from ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, this is the venue for you. And finally, if you want a caring, extremely experienced staff on hand to take care of all the little (and big) stuff so you don’t have to, this is the venue for you. This place is truly the big deal everyone says it is, and more. They clearly map out the process of preparing for the wedding, from the “day of interviews” where you meet with and select your vendors, to the itinerary that they stick to on your wedding day to move things along smoothly. Listen… Bella Collina is the real deal, and they have earned every one of their 5-star reviews. Go over there and check them out ASAP!

Joe and his team exceeded our expectations. They identified vendors that were attentive and worked so well with us and each other. The attention to detail is amazing and Joe orchestrated the event with perfection. They provide tremendous support, addressing issues and details we hadn’t considered. This helped eliminate stresses and concerns on such an important day which allowed us to enjoy every moment!! The venue is so beautiful and meticulously maintained. Our guests loved the location and had a great time. Thank you!

First of all, Joe is the best at what he does! The venue is what dreams are made of. The day of our wedding went absolutely perfect thanks to Joe, his wonderful mom, and ALL of the Bella staff! Everyone was so professional and helpful throughout the day. I couldn't have asked for anything more nor needed to. They stayed on top of every wedding aspect. Drinks placed before the bridal party arrived at every area, a much needed "behind the scenes" reminder of the little things you would otherwise nervously forget, and A LOT of nerve calming! The list of everything they do perfectly could go on. Ultimately I would chose this venue 100 times over. 5 stars isn't enough to rate this experience!

The first thing that comes to my mind when writing this review is Perfection!!! Five minutes into touring the mansion and seeing the beautiful views, we knew we had to get married at Bella. Joe and his staff took care of everything for us to make our special day perfect. From the day of interviews with vendors, to answering every single question we had up to our wedding day, Joe always had an answer, and always got back to me quickly. You can tell Joe and his staff are dedicated to making your wedding day perfect and exactly how you want it. Even Joe's mother comes and helps by escorting the older folks to/down the elevator to get anywhere that is needed. Joe tells you exactly where to be, when to be there, and even escorts you to where you need to be. Everything is on time, organized, and Joe will go out of his way to ensure everything is the way you wanted it. Did I say the view is amazing??!! We had guests taking more pictures of the view and the house then we did us. Driving down the driveway and seeing the mansion with the lake is a sight to be seen. You will not find a better place to get married, so don't waste your time looking!! We had many guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. What sets the Bella Collina even more ahead than other venues, there is a backup plan if the weather gets bad. You can have your wedding outdoors or indoors, both are beautiful. Plenty of room in the Mansion to have everything inside if needed. Joe, his staff, and his vendors all want your day to be perfect, and it will be. I was sad when our day was over because I had so much fun, and that's because I did not have to worry about a single thing. Our day was perfect and I cannot thank Joe enough for the perfect wedding of our dreams!!!

Stress free or someone who can do the stressing for you well that’s Bella Collina! My husband and I had quite a rowdy crowd and very specific things that we wanted at our wedding even some requests Joe had never had . He made them happen. At every moment he made sure I was ok and happy. Besides how beautiful Bella Collina is and how great the staff is what makes Bella Collina so amazing is how much they care. What matters most to them is that they see your wedding day as something special not just some customer. To say how blessed we were doesn’t explain enough how grateful my husband and I were to have chosen Bella Collina.

Thank You,

This is a no-brainer! If you want a stress-free, perfect wedding, you MUST go with the Bella Collina. This is a top-notch wedding venue with an amazing staff and fantastic vendors. Avoid the wedding horror stories and choose the wedding venue every bride deserves to have. They are super popular and have limited availability with all their bookings, but it is so so so worth it!

Thank you Joe and all who helped make my wedding day perfect at the Bella Collina this past Saturday :)

Much love, Danielle

I could not have asked for a better wedding! The staff at Bella Collina are top of the line, they ensure all your needs and desires are met. They strive on making sure the bride has everything she needs and is completely happy the day of her wedding. One of my bridesmaids had an issue with the zipper on her dress and Joe's mom was able to fix it twice! She is a lifesaver and brings calmness the day of the wedding. She made sure the zipper was fixed and was more than happy to help. Joe knows exactly what he is doing, we did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. The convenience of the all-inclusive he offers cannot be matched at any other venue. Joe makes sure everything stays on track the day of the wedding, there are no worries about what will happen next. Our wedding ran so smooth and everyone had a great time. We did not just have a wedding at Bella Collina we had an event. Choosing Bella Collina as the place to get married is the best decision anyone can make. You will not regret it!

Before finding Bella Collina, I was at my wit's end and was pretty much set on giving up the dream of having a wedding. I was feeling defeated at how difficult the planning process was proving to be. Then my husband found Bella Collina. From the moment we saw the mansion for the first time to the final exit on our wedding day, the experience was perfection. Joe takes a true interest in each couple and provides exemplary service from beginning to end. We had very specific preferences and needs and they were all met without hesitation. While the planning process is wonderful, the true reason for our 5-star review is the day of the wedding. Every staff member is willing to go above and beyond for the bride and groom to make the day perfect and that is exactly what they did for us. The relationship between Bella Collina, the vendors and the couples they serve cannot be replicated anywhere else. We are still in awe at how magical our day was and we have Bella Collina to thank for that. There is no question that Bella Collina's services are worth the value. For this kind of service, attention and experience anywhere else we could have paid double or triple the price. Thank you does not even begin to cover our gratitude to Bella Collina for creating what was truly the happiest day of our lives. We will spend the rest of our lives knowing that our wedding day was as close to perfect as an event like this can get and that is all thanks to Joe and Bella Collina.

As both, my husband and I, have sat back and reminisced on all the events leading up to, as well as our wedding day, we are simply in awe! We first found Bella Collina Mansion by searching on Google for all inclusive venues that were in the right budget point. Being 2 hours from us, we took a leap of faith and took a tour of “Cinderella’s Castle” and that indeed it was! We fell instantly in love with the mansion by it’s timeless elegance. Being an outdoor/indoor venue by a lake, it was everything we ever wanted and it was at that point we knew this was the spot for us. We were impressed by Erin and Joe’s personality and professionalism. Joe and his staff goes above and beyond to make sure ALL details, big or small, matter and that your day is absolutely stress free. His hand picked vendors are nothing short of amazing. You truly feel like royalty! Our wedding day was absolute bliss! Even though we were planned for an outdoor ceremony, rain was in the forecast, so their back up plan for indoors was even more magical than we could have imagined and turned out for the best! There aren’t enough words to describe how truly marvelous Joe and his team are! We highly, highly recommend Bella Collina Mansion for your Dream Come True!! Bella made our wedding day a dream come true and we will be eternally thankful!!!

WOW, is all I can say! When looking at all of the pictures and reviews online of Bella Collina it seemed too good to be true. It's like I was waiting for there to be a catch somewhere, so I booked a tour to really check it out. From the moment we stepped foot on the property we were mesmerized. We were greeted by Erin who met us with a smile. We were so blown away at not only breathtaking venue, but how we were treated since we had walked through Bella Collina's magical doors. We decided that this was the place for us and wanted to secure a date! We decided to do the "Get married in 90 days wedding".

I was nervous to get married in such a short amount of time. Let me tell you it was the ABSOLUTE BEST decision we have made thus far! From returning my phone calls or emails so quickly, to literally thinking of every last detail that needed to be addressed, to the seamless order of events that occurred throughout our day.

I remember thinking as I was getting ready to walk down the steps how cool, calm and collected Bella Collina's team was. They even had headsets and walkie talkies to ensue everyone was positioned at the right spot at the exact right time. In fact, Joe's mother was talking to me before I walked down the steps to calm my underlying nerves. She spoke so beautifully to me. She even told me where to look while I was walking to the altar so that my pictures would turn out best. I literally felt like I was a princess!

You can tell how truly dedicated Joe is to his work. I follow Bella Collina on social media and enjoy seeing his daily posts. You can tell that he has such a passion for this!

I feel extremely blessed to have meet the Bella Collina family and will forever be thankful for them to providing me a wedding I couldn't have even dreamed of! Basically if you aren't getting married at Bella Collina you're doing it all wrong.

Honestly, what can I say that hasn't already been said?! This place gave me everything I could want in a wedding and more. I felt so relaxed in all aspects of the wedding planning because they had already thought of every little detail and just asked me what I wanted each step of the way. I really can't express enough how easy it was to plan a wedding while in graduate school, in another state, and while studying for boards because I chose to go with Bella Collina. Seriously, it was just so perfect. Everything you could want in a venue and coordinator. My guests are still raving about how beautiful the place is. Also, we left on a boat... which is something I bet none of your other friends will do. My guests loved that! You will definitely not regret your choice if you choose Bella. TAKE THE TOUR!!! You will fall in love!

Our experience was absolutely magical. When they say they do everything and you don’t have to stress, they mean it! Joe even told me he worried about me because I had very little contact through the process. The reason though, is that I knew I had nothing to worry about! Everything about our wedding day was perfect! Thank you guys again for everything you did!

Joe/Bella Collina has a thing going! They have held so many weddings, they know how to coordinate everything! We are so impressed with Bella's responsiveness to our questions/concerns in a timely manner & provided us recommendations. Bella definitely provided a stress-free wedding knowing that we were in good hands since day one. As the bride, Joe's mother was there to help coordinate & she helped me with breathing techniques before I walked down the aisle, she was so sweet! We received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how they enjoyed our beautiful wedding. We would highly recommended Bella Collina to everyone. Thank you Bella, it was a pleasure working with you.

One word, PERFECT! Bella Collina Mansion was everything we wanted and needed, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Not only is Bella Collina breathtaking, Joe and his staff are better than we ever could have dreamed. We arrived at our initial meeting with a binder full of questions, but Joe was able to answer all of them and ones we never would have thought of. What makes Bella Collina so special is mainly four things:

• The beauty and the elegance of the venue itself

• Joe and his staff’s dedication to do everything they can make your wedding day not only perfect, but as stress-free and easy as possible

• The relative turnkey ability that Bella Collina offers with features such as their single-day of vendor interviews

• The affordability that Bella Collina offers as it works as a partner to drive down costs with their world-class vendors

Because of the affordability and turnkey features that Bella Collina offers, we were able to plan our wedding from over 1,500 miles away. We cannot stress enough how beautiful and perfect our wedding was. In fact, it even rained during our reception, but Joe and his staff were so on top of EVERYTHING that we had our guests and tables inside before the rain. Also, thanks to the design of Bella Collina, the party kept going without as so much as a pause. Leading up to our wedding our friends and family couldn’t believe that we did not need their help, but because of Joe’s diligence we had already taken care of everything. We wanted an outdoor wedding by the water at a beautiful venue and had indoor capabilities in case it rained. Also, we needed a venue that was affordable and involved enough that we could fly into town a few days before the wedding. Bella Collina was everything we wanted and needed, we cannot recommend them highly enough! There are not enough words to praise Bella Collina! If you want a beautiful, affordable, and stress-free wedding with the option of outside or inside, then book with Bella Collina Mansion!
