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 with have additional charges, but those charges are made known upfront. For instance, a certain amount of flowers comes in the package. However, you may want to add to that. 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:
