Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Nestled in a private valley that evokes the rustic charm of a Tuscan vineyard, this picturesque club and golf course is truly lovely. Encompassing 240 acres of open space dotted with ponds, wooden bridges, pines, and weeping willows, the photo ops are endless... and you'll even have a private chauffeur to help you find the best spots.
- A pretty brick walkway leads to the tiered Evergreen Amphitheater, where you'll exchange vows surrounded by views of colorful blooms, manicured greens, and rolling hills. Continue al fresco on the Twilight Terrace and Meadow, two enchanting outdoor spaces blessed by golden light and lush garden views, or the intimate, flower-filled Secret Gardens.
- The chic Bella Overlook clubhouse's three stunning spaces are all yours. Begin with cocktails in the Bella Vista, which is outfitted with a built-in bar, a cozy fireplace, and sliding walls that open onto the window-lined Grand Bella Ballroom. The adjacent Bella Boardroom is truly flexible—use it for buffet service, a kids' playroom, a lounge, or dressing suite. Packages are inclusive and flexible, featuring epicurean delights, elegant furnishings, and the talents of their wonderful in-house events team.
