My husband and I were taken upstairs as soon as we arrived in order to have some quiet time and eat dinner before we were introduced at the reception. One of my favorite parts was that we were able to toss the bouquet and garter from the balcony-this was truly unique and provided good pictures!! Bryan was a great help as he worked well with our wedding planner to make sure my wedding reception was perfect!! I had many friends and family members who loved the Belo and thought it was beautiful and a one of a kind place. I would recommend the Belo Mansion to anyone, as it is truly a beautiful venue!

space for the bridal party to get ready. Bryan was very helpful throughout the process - I didn't have or need a wedding coordinator or DOC. He took care of the small issues that came up (late guests, late flowers, etc.) We had hors d'oeuvres, wine and champagne served in the cocktail hour and although I didn't taste them I head positive things from our guests. The food was delicious, elegant and plentiful. The service was incredible! There were so many waiters/waitresses and they were all cheerful, helpful and extremely professional. The staff was the best part - because of their professionalism I could relax and enjoy my day knowing everything would be taken care of (and it was!)
