    Amazing experience!!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about La Bella Vista and the entire staff!! It is hard to put into words how truly amazing La Bella Vista is. From the moment we booked our wedding we felt at ease. Their commitment to excellence is evident throughout the entire planning process. Ashley was there every step of the way and provided helpful insight and recommendations to ensure our day was exactly as we had envisioned it. The quality and quantity of food is unmatched. We are still talking about the cocktail hour and our dinner, as are all of our guests! We are so grateful to the outstanding staff at LBV for ensuring that each of our guests had an amazing time. Ashley, Tricia, Andrew, and the entire staff-we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day dreams come true! It was everything we had hoped for and more. - Jason and Caitlin

    Wedding Review

    My husband and I got married at La Bella Vista 06/23 and we could not have picked a more perfect venue! From the start, it was a pleasure working with the staff and they are very organized. EVERYONE raved about our wedding and multiple people said it was the best wedding they have been to. We have the staff, the cooks, and the beautiful venue to thank for that!

    Best. Wedding. Ever.

    Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. This is the most gorgeous venue and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable, happy and taken care of from the moment we came to view the venue. Todd's attention to detail and organization immediately put me at ease. He was so responsive to all of my questions and ideas. Our wedding came together so beautifully and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I have never been to a wedding where things were just perfect from start to finish (EXCEPT for my own!) I recommend La Bella Vista to every couple looking for their happily ever after! ASK FOR TODD

    Absolutely Exceptional

    La Bella Vista is THE premier wedding venue in Connecticut. Every little detail was expertly handled by their staff. Our guests could not stop telling us that this was the "Greatest wedding ever!" The food was top notch, Their staff were expertly trained and the event went off without a single issue. Todd, is a hospitality guru and we cannot recommend La Bella Vista enough!

    The best night of our lives!

    Let me start by saying the food was to die for! From the penne ala vodka, to the fish tacos and mini margaritas, to the chicken satay, to the Caesar salad, to the surf and turf, to the 5 station dessert bar we were in heaven!!! Our friends and family have pronounced themselves wedding snobs because La Bella Vista helped us create the most perfect, fun, beautiful, intimate, and personalized wedding. The beautiful ambiance and the welcoming staff made our wedding a dream come true. We knew the minute we walked through those doors when looking for a venue that we found the one and the food tasting only confirmed that! Todd eased my anxiety everytime I called him (and I called a lot) he connected us to vendors with ease and gave honest opinions. Todd was kind, loving, personable and truly embraced my family every meeting we had. I will forever be grateful for this venue and the people that made the night run so smoothly. My husband and I did not have to lift a finger or worry about any details because Todd and the Maître de’s took care of everything. Thank you La Bella Vista for the best night of our lives!❤️

    Everyone at La Bella Vista was amazing! Starting with Todd who helped us plan everything for our wedding and made our day wonderful!

    La Bella Vista is absolutely beautiful. This venue had all of my guests raving about its beauty. The food was amazing and delicious! Todd and Alena made everything run smoothly from the ceremony to the reception run beautifully. We had some nerves but Todd calmed us down and we enjoyed our Signature drink and everything else there! I highly doubt this venue & I’ll always remember everything about our wedding there! All of our pictures from the picturesque place are great!

    100/10 BEST venue by far

    If you’re looking for a perfect wedding - look no further! The staff went above and beyond exceeding our expectations. Andrew from the very start of the wedding planning was tremendous with guiding us in the right direction and very quick to answer any questions we may have needed. The day of couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guests are still talking about how outstanding the food was. Everything was beautiful. If I can give them a 100/10 then I am true to my word on that. Thank you LBV for giving us the wedding of our dreams - I would definitely check this venue out for any new couples looking to get married!

    Don't look at any other venue! This is the one!

    If you are looking for a wedding venue this is the place! I had my daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday 9/24/22. I have been in the hospitality, restaurant and service industry for over 40+ years and have never worked at an event that was executed so smoothly. The Event Coordinator, Todd was very easy to work with from the initial meeting with him until the day of the wedding. Every detail was executed perfectly. The property is beautiful. The staff courteous and professional. The Maitre’d Trish was on top of every detail and was with the B&G from before the ceremony until the end of the night. The food presentation of the passed hors d’oeuvres and stations for the cocktail hour as well as dinner selections was top notch and delicious. The dessert stations were over the top! I am still receiving compliments from my guests. They were blown away! I will definitely recommend LBV to anyone I know who is getting married!

    Perfect in every way!

    There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing LBV was in making sure we had the perfect day. From the planning appointments, to the rehearsal, to wedding day, it was truly perfect. The food is amazing, no one will leave hungry for sure, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. The staff really cares about making sure you have an amazing day and they were always right there to make sure we had everything we needed (especially Tricia). I would not change a single thing about our wedding at LBV & couldn’t have imagined a better day. Truly cannot recommend LBV enough.

    Amazing Food, Well-Organized

    We got married at LBV almost 3 weeks ago and guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and about how fantastic the food was. If you leave a LBV wedding hungry, it’s on you! Todd has a great sense of humor, an amazing shoe collection, and is very easy to work with. Patricia was our Maitre-D the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. She even held my veil during pictures! Cannot recommend them enough!

    100/10- La Bella Vista is AMAZING!

    La Bella Vista took care of us the entire day. I didn't have to worry about a single thing! They were always checking in on how we were doing, refilling our drinks, and making sure we were eating. They made the day feel like a dream come true!

    Beautiful venue

    Our reception was absolutely beautiful and we are so happy that we chose La Bella Vista. Todd was always on the ball and emailing back so quickly with all my questions and Trish was fabulous and on point the day of making sure my dress was perfect and we alway had a drink in our hands. The only thing I wish was that us and our guest were told about the hot hors d’oeuvres and pasta station. We had many guests not even know about them or the dessert stations.

    Superb venue!

    My husband and I had our wedding at La Bella Vista at the end of June, and we could not have had a more perfect event, in no small thanks to La Bella Vista's staff and venue. We worked with Todd over the year leading up to the wedding, and he was so attentive and thorough through every step of the process. We planned the wedding long distance and he accommodated our limited ability to meet in person. He gave us detailed documents to organize the information he needed to execute the event, and thought of every detail ahead of time. We were in great hands!

    We were also in great hands on the day of the wedding. Trish, the day-of coordinator, was present to anticipate our every need. She made sure to keep us hydrated on a hot day and made sure we ate after the ceremony. We didn't have to think of logistics at all - everything ran so smoothly and we got to just enjoy our wedding. That was priceless!

    And every single staff member at the wedding was so friendly and welcoming and made everyone feel taken care of and at ease. My mother uses a wheelchair and everyone made sure she could get around as easily as possible. The staff was so attentive and considerate and it made such a difference.

    Our guests could not stop raving about how much they loved the venue - everyone thought the space was beautiful (and we did not even bring in outside decor). And the food! Our meals alone were delicious, but we of course couldn't try everything. But multiple guests independently told us how much they enjoyed the food - from cocktail hour to salad, pasta, and entrees. Our guests were just as delighted with La Bella Vista as we were.

    I also must note that for the quality of food and drinks, the venue, and the service we received, the pricing was more than fair, and I very much appreciated how transparent pricing was from the very beginning. We got our money's worth and beyond!

    We recommend La Bella Vista wholeheartedly and could not be more delighted by every aspect of our wedding there.

    The best day of our lives

    My now husband and I looked at 15 venues before we decided to tour La Bella Vista. I said to my husband LBV is going to be the last venue we look at and that is it we are picking our venue. From the initial contact with Linnea (who is retired now) to set up our tour to after our wedding day, we have nothing but GREAT things to say about LBV and the staff. We walked into the venue and as soon as I saw the foyer, I already knew this was going to be our venue. I got that feeling brides get when they just know this is the one. I looked at my now husband and said I don't need to see anything else I know this is where we are getting married. We met with Linnea, toured the venue and that feeling still stayed with me. We saw the bridal suite, the ballrooms, the bathrooms, the grounds where pictures would be taken and everything was PERFECT. We left our meeting with a hold date, that evening I emailed Linnea with a confirmed we are booking for 6/24/22. Linnea retired but she put us in great hands with her son Andrew who was our go to guy. Andrew was exceptional!! Always made sure to answer any questions we had, went above and beyond to ensure we would have the best day (which we did and more). Day of wedding Andrew was very attentive to us, making sure everything was going smoothly/ if we were okay. Our Maître D was Tricia who was the BEST! Always made sure we had water, drinks, food, followed us around for pictures carrying my long train, made sure we ate, and so much more. All the staff at LBV were phenomenal and truly made our day much more special. Guests are still raving about our wedding 8 days later about the food, drinks, service, EVERYTHING! I wish I can relive the day for how amazing the staff treated us and made it the best day of our life. You will not be disappointed by booking your wedding at LBV. FOOD IS A 10/10 if I could rate 20/10 they deserve it. Thank you to Andrew, Tricia and all the staff that made our 6/24/22 wedding truly magical. Will be hosting all my future showers, parties at LBV.

    Pure perfection

    Words can not begin to express how amazing the whole entire staff made our special day. We got married on June 12th and everything was absolutely perfect. The first interaction I had with Todd I knew this would be the place for us. He responded back so quickly and was able to answer any questions I had. We set up a time to see the place and as soon as we saw it we knew that would be the place. Todd continued to play a role for the many months leading up to the wedding any question I had no matter how big or small I would email him and he would always get back to me so quickly. Now the day of the wedding I knew we would all be well taken care of. However I could never have imagined how well we would be taken care of. Trish was absolutely fantastic. She was never far away making sure me and the girls had everything we needed. If we needed anything at all she was right there. If someone needed something from the bridal suite she would go up and get it for us. We never had to even go to the bar because she always made sure our drinks were full. The food!? Out of this world. They had everything set up perfectly with the decor we wanted for the day. Absolutely picture perfect. Not a single guest had a complaint. Everyone thought the venue, staff, atmosphere, food, and drinks were amazing. If you are looking for the perfect day and don’t want to worry about the stress of everything 115% hands down choose la Bella vista. You will NOT be disappointed! I am still blown away with how great of a job they all did. You can tell they really take great pride in what they do.

    Best Venue around

    Insane amounts of delicious food, all my guests couldn’t stop raving about them. Andrew was simply the best, so knowledgeable and made us feel so at ease. I trusted La Bella Vista through every step of the way - my sister in law got married here and said there was no better place.

    Simply Amazing!

    Our experience at La Bella Vista was truly a dream!!! My husband and I have been through the wringer this year trying to not only plan a wedding, but simply finding a way to make it happen during these crazy times! Our original venue had to reschedule our date to more than a year out, and then we had a plan B, which canceled on us ONE week before our wedding date! Luckily, our J.O.P recommended La Bella Vista immediately. The night that our wedding venue canceled on us was chaotic and heartbreaking, to say the least. Linnea was in contact with us that same night and put our mind at ease from the moment we began chatting. She quickly directed me to the "Tented Wedding" options for me to review. She quickly managed to schedule an appointment for us to come to the venue on the next day to make sure it was a good fit for us. Within 5 minutes of seeing the venue and speaking with Linnea, my husband looked at me and said "this is the place, we are booking right now!" Once Linnea and her team got the go ahead from us, they didn't skip a beat. You would never know that they pulled together our wedding within 6 days!!! I now truly believe that everything happens for a reason. We are SO glad that our "Plan B" option fell through for us and we were guided to La Bella Vista. I wish we booked at this venue from the beginning of our wedding planning. The tented reception was so beautiful, I would prefer it over being inside any day! Their staff was truly like family. Not only were me and my husband catered to every second of the day, but so were our guests. Our guests still rave about the delicious food and service! I can't tell you how many times we heard "That was the best food I have ever had at a wedding!" We are so sad that our beautiful wedding is in the past, and we already miss Linnea and her amazing staff, but I have no doubt we will be back again for EVERY other event we plan. They truly are the best!

    Amazing wedding

    The whole wedding experience was amazing,
    Everyone went beyond my expectations.
    The food was amazing, Venetian table exceptional. Todd was amazing and very tentative, Trish was beyond amazing.
    Thank you everyone for making our special day extra special.

    Perfection and Excellence!

    We couldn't be more delighted with La Bella Vista, Linnea and the entire staff! They go above and beyond with helping plan out the entire wedding day experience! The food was 10 star quality! The decor is breathtaking! Linnea meets and exceeds perfect wedding coordination and works with her clients to provide an affordable day with many extras automatically thrown in! We highly, highly recommend this venue for a picture perfect wedding!
