From the reviews

I know this is so cliché and everyone says this about every wedding venue but I truly mean it when I say that Callie, Crystal and the whole team at Bella Gardens made our wedding so perfect. They are so incredibly kind, caring and helpful.

★★★★★ — Kelby, Oct 2022

My daughter and son-in-law married here in October. Perfect venue for a small-medium size garden wedding. We lined the wooden walkway with tall white pillar candles which with the clear lights strung among the trees made for a very romantic setting as the sun set. The small house was perfect for dressing.

★★★★☆ — Nancy, Mar 2024

This place has everything you could want in a venue for almost any event. My step brother is getting married here this weekend, hurricane or no, and they are prepared for everything. Everything is clean, organized, and full of country charm. Beautiful!

★★★★★ — Nina, Sep 2018

Beautiful. Serene. Can't speak for the bride and groom but from my perspective for what the venue offers it's definitely something to consider when planning a wedding

Getting married at Il Bella Gardens

Il Bella Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
