We truly cannot say enough amazing things about La Massaria and the incredible team behind it Patrick, Denise, Jeni, and every single person who helped make our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.
From the very beginning, we knew La Massaria was different. While the venue itself is beautiful, that honestly wasn’t what made us choose it. The moment Kyle and I met Denise, Patrick, and Jeni, we felt something that is hard to find; warmth, genuine care, and a true family feeling. We immediately felt welcomed, comfortable, and like we weren’t just another couple booking a wedding. We felt like they genuinely cared about us and wanted our day to be everything we dreamed it would be. And they delivered beyond anything we could have imagined.
Our wedding on September 4, 2026 was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the food, service, organization, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere, everything was phenomenal. But what stood out the most was the way the entire team made us feel throughout the process and especially on our wedding day. We never felt stressed or worried because we knew we were in the best hands.
Patrick, Denise, and Jeni went above and beyond in ways that we will never forget. They were kind, accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best day possible. Every little detail was handled, and they somehow made everything feel effortless.
Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the venue was, how incredible the food was, and how wonderful the staff was. We heard over and over again that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended and we owe so much of that to the La Massaria team.
Looking back, we know we made the absolute right decision. We didn’t choose La Massaria because of how it looked. We chose it because of how they made us feel and that feeling only grew stronger throughout our entire wedding experience.
Patrick, Denise, Jeni, and the entire La Massaria team thank you for treating us like family, for taking such incredible care of us, and for giving Kyle and me a wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful we found you and will forever recommend La Massaria to anyone looking for a wedding venue.
You didn’t just host our wedding. You helped make one of the most important days of our lives absolutely perfect.
With all our love and gratitude,
Kyle & Ashley

cable service! My husband and I were able to relax and fully enjoy the day. So many people described us as calm and I fully believe it is because of the helpfulness and attentiveness of the staff. Denis and Bella attended to us, our bridal party, and our family all day to make sure every need was met. Jennifer and Jeni were extremely helpful during the planning process. The venue provides so much that I had to do little additional work. The attention to detail made the day run so smooth and worry-free. I recommend this venue to everyone! The food was also incredible and our guests were raving about the venue and food for weeks after the wedding!!

Jeni were always available to answer questions and were so receptive to changes we made. During our rehearsal, Denise and Bella were great at explaining every detail of how the ceremony will run and made us feel so prepared for the big day. The day of the wedding, this team was absolutely amazing. Denise perfectly coordinated all of the decor set-up while we got to relax and prepare for the ceremony. Jeni was a rock star and so attentive as our bridal consultant. She was with me all day ensuring we had all the food and drinks we needed and that we were prepared and calm. The bar service at cocktail hour and the reception was amazing. And the food was so great! We are still hearing from our guests about how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. This venue is so beautiful all on its own, but together with the wonderful team, it is truly the perfect wedding venue.

The team at La Masseria, was simply outstanding. Thank you to Denise, Bella, Jennifer, and the rest of the team, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day stress-free. From the planning stages to the final send-off, they handled everything with grace and efficiency. Their attention to detail and seamless coordination made the entire experience feel effortless.
The food was another highlight! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and served with excellence. Our guests were so impressed with the quality and variety of options. They even went above and beyond to bring our daughter dino Nuggets and buttered pasta, since it was their favorite, what a nice touch!
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a more wonderful team to help bring our wedding vision to life. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, top-tier service, and an unforgettable atmosphere, look no further than La Masseria! I can't say thank you enough, for every little detail!

There aren’t enough words to express how amazing everyone at La Massaria was and how incredible our wedding was. From the beginning, Jennifer was so lovely and informative, and she...
was truly amazing throughout our entire experience. She made us feel like no question was a dumb one, and that we weren’t a bother by asking as many as we needed! Denise was also so wonderful, she made our day go so smoothly and executed everything exactly as we had envisioned. The day would not have been the same without them, and our wedding was such a success due to this venue. The cocktail and reception areas are great spaces on their own, and are really what you make them to be – they are truly transformable to whatever your vision is. Our guests had the best time, and so did we! We didn’t have to worry about little things because they were taken care of. We cannot express how much we highly recommend them, if you’re considering booking you will not regret it!

If I could give them 6 stars I would. My husband and I got married at La Massaria a few weeks ago and had the absolute perfect day. Leading up to the big day Jennifer and her team ...
were pros (super responsive, gave great suggestions, and comforted me when I was overthinking things). No ask was too big, they were there to really make sure all of my questions were answered. On the day of, Denise was super efficient with organizing and making sure our ceremony went smoothly. Jennifer and Denise were also so kind and welcoming to me when we first showed up and throughout the night. It felt like seeing family. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Hands down the best day and so thankful to the team at La Massaria for all of their hard work in making that possible.

My husband and I recently got married here and while my family has had other events here in the past that were great, we unfortunately did not have the same experience. Leading up ...
to our wedding everything seemed okay, but during and after our wedding the way management treated us was very poor. The steaks served at our wedding were nearly inedible due to the way they were cooked, and we were only given butter knives to cut them with. When we brought this to their attention after our wedding they did not seem to care. I can't express how upset I was with the whole situation and the way they handled it. They never took my phone call, refused to do anything for us and quite frankly they were very rude to me. This is the first negative review I have every wrote, but I think it is a fair one with how they treated me. I also want to mention that the other wedding websites like The Knot and Wedding wire removed my reviews so I would not trust all the 5 stars you see on those sites.

We recently had a wedding here and this was not the first event we had at La Massaria, however, this experience was not a good one. Unfortunately with the current management things...
seemed to be handled very differently from our previous experiences. The venue was the right size and worked for us, but the issue came with the staff. Unfortunately the steaks were almost inedible and we had multiple family members mention to us how they couldn’t even cut the steaks. They also did not give anybody steak knives. When we brought this to their attention nothing was done for us. Everyone was nice and helpful until halfway through the wedding then it seemed no one cared and after the wedding they seemed to quickly get rude and refusing to do anything for us. I am not one to write negative reviews but after hearing how they talked to my wife and treated us I feel it is honest and fair. Another thing to note is all negative reviews on the knot will be removed so take that into consideration while reading. My wife was extremely upset with how they handled the issues we had, and I thought it was very disappointing we couldn’t even get them to talk to us on the phone. I am more than happy to share my emails with them if anyone has any questions since I’m sure they will respond to this negative review in an dishonest way. Hopefully this review allows you to avoid having your guest complain to you about a very special day.

We had our wedding at La Massaria at the Bella Vista in Nov. of 2023. We booked La Massaria due to us wanting an entirely indoor wedding, the ballroom and downstairs bar are beauti...
ful. Also, the elevator made it convenient for our older guests getting floor to floor. Our wedding Coordinator, Jennifer was very accommodating, we had special beer requests, homemade decorations, and a non-traditional ceremony. Our “day-of” coordinator, Denise made sure everything went smoothly even though we were running a bit late. La Massaria provided finger food lunch for the wedding party prior to the ceremony. This was super convenient and less for us to worry about. The food was amazing, my husband’s steak was cooked perfectly. We received many comments from guests on how wonderful the staff was. Making sure hors-d’oevres made it to each guest throughout cocktail hour. My Husband and I would like to say thank you to La Massaria and all of the staff for making our “big-day” special! We would definitely recommend La Massaria, especially to those looking to have an indoor wedding.

Here we are two weeks later and I am still receiving calls, texts and e-mails about how great everything was. I cannot think of one thing that I could say could have gone better. I wish I had another daughter to get married because it would 100% take place at LaMassaria!

I am the mother of the groom, and I was amazed at the amount of attention we received. I have four daughters who were all in the wedding. Besides the event planner Jennifer, and ...
her assistance Denise, we had Roslyn to assist us all day. Roslyn just hung out near us, within calling distance, just in case we needed anything. Roslyn ran to get missing people for photos, turned on the air conditioner when the room we were dressing in got too hot, held our purses and sunglasses and phones as we got our pictures done - even took pictures with our phones. It was so great having her with us. That's the before the wedding. Denise was there for the rehearsal and the whole day of the wedding. Denise made things we need magically appear. And made everything we asked for pretty. We needed a podium for the Deacon, Denise made one appear - and made it pretty for the pictures. We needed two chairs for the Bride and Groom for the ceremony, Denise found two very pretty matching, fancy chairs for them. My father is in a wheelchair, Denise made sure to watch out for him and make a special spot for him close to the front, so he could be comfortable and see his grandson get married. I so appreciated that she made room up front and not just in the back. Jennifer, the event planner was there the whole day. She even got me a soda!!! They thought of everything and took care of everything. They were there - every moment. Caring for everything. The food was AMAZING! I would go back just for the food. And the DJ and Flower people that they suggested when above and beyond. The DJ was so friendly and helpful. But not overly needy. He just asked for a few songs and built an amazing play list we ALL loved - we danced the night away! Everyone Danced! The flower people were so friendly and kind. And the place itself was beautiful! The stone wall had tea lights shining in it. The windows were curtainless and reflected all the lights. It was so beautiful. No one thing escaped their notice or attention. They were happy, friendly, helpful, always smiling, just amazing. I have three more daughters - I would love it if they all got married at La Massaria at Bella Vista with Jennifer, Denise and Roslyn! Definitely 5 star service! The look, the food, the people, everything - 5 star!

Denise was extremely helpful with the setup for the wedding and the day-of events. She made the reception flow seamlessly and coordinated well with our DJ. She was also extremely nice and a pleasant person to be around.
The rest of the wait staff were very good. Bella, the bridal assistant, was phenomenal pointing out places for good pictures and getting everything we needed throughout the entire reception, such as hors d'oeuvres and cocktails for the bridal party during cocktail hour.
The food was excellent. We received a ton of compliments from our guests on the food, including those who got vegan meals.
The venue itself is very beautiful. The stone walls look amazing with LED tea lights on them and great a warm atmosphere.

We have heard of people say they didn't even get to eat on their wedding day, well Autumn and Denise made sure we did. After Autumn helped our photographer with the staging of our pictures, she literally found us at cocktail hour and stood in front of us with hors d'oeuvres making sure we got to eat them. Our glasses were never empty and Denise made sure we were able to actually sit down and enjoy our dinner. I could go on and on about this venue, but one thing is for sure, if you book La Massaria you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much to Carly and the Bella team. We will be FOREVER grateful! #6.24.22

We could not have asked for a better experience working with La Massaria at Bella Vista! Carly was attentive from the time we toured the venue to the day after our wedding. She res...
ponded quickly (within a day) to all of our e-mails throughout the process.
Additionally, we (bride and groom) had a pet emergency mid-wedding day in which we had to abruptly leave and returned after 2 hours. Carly and the Bella team revamped our day at a moment’s notice and continued to make our wedding day memorable and so special.

Words cannot describe how happy we are with La Massaria! We were scheduled to have our wedding back in June of 2020, but due to COVID we had to push our date back not once, but twi...
ce! The wedding coordinator, Carly, was so incredibly helpful and flexible with not only that aspect, but with the overall planning of the day. She answered any and all questions we had, gave us tips for making the day run smoothly, and was there the whole day along with the other amazing staff to ensure it went off without a hitch! It drizzled during the day of our wedding, but La Massaria's indoor ceremony option is just as beautiful as their outdoor option. We were obsessed with how gorgeous the inside was when we first saw it, and couldn't have been happier with how breathtaking it looked on the big day! And THE FOOD...did I mention the food!? It was SO GOOD! Our guests were raving about their meals for weeks after. So all in all, we had an amazing experience at La Massaria and recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free, gorgeous venue for their big day!

I never really thought about the importance of reviews until I was looking at them myself when planning our wedding and hands down, all the 5 star reviews of La Massaria are true! ...
I can't say enough about how perfect La Massaria was for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make our wedding happen, especially in the middle of the pandemic. Carly, our Wedding Specialist/Food and Beverage Director was such a huge help in the planning of our wedding. She helped us to figure out each and every little detail to make our day seamless as possible. It was like a fairytale. Our banquet captain, Denise, and our bridal assistant, Grace, were such a huge help with making everything flowed and was moving on time with Grace helping the bridal party get ready in the morning and Denise making sure the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, etc. was on time and was often checking in with us to make sure that we were happy with everything. The food by Chef Jim was absolutely delicious. It's not like banquet food at all. It is like going out to a five star restaurant and being served a perfectly hot meal. Even our bartender, Dan, was awesome! He made sure our glasses were always full and put a smile on all of our guests faces. The team of people working at La Massaria is one you won't find anywhere else. I would highly recommend working with them for any occasion, including big events like our wedding. They were professional, yet felt like family with making us feel special and like we were the most important people. Hands down, our best decision for our wedding. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about La Massaria. The grounds and facilities are breathtaking...the first thing each guest said to us was "wow this place is gorgeous!" The food wa...
s great, and they carried out all details exactly as we had planned. Diane (bridal assistant) was ready to help when I didn't even realize I needed help throughout the night. She knew exactly what to do and where to be to make everything go smoothly. Denise (banquet captain) was also a huge part of making sure the night stuck to our timeline and went as planned.
Roy and Kristina were helpful throughout the planning process. Planning during a pandemic wasn't easy for us or them...and although at times they didn't have answers to certain questions or communicated was delayed they always made things right in the end. They were extremely flexible with changes due to COVID (for example with a reduced guest count under their typical minimum). Our day was perfect at La Massaria and I highly recommend the venue to anyone looking for a rustic venue!

My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding day on 11/08/2019. We attended a wedding at La Massaria in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the venue. When we got engag...
ed, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. The wedding package is amazing and takes so much of the stress out of wedding planning! We had a long engagement and throughout the 2 years, the communication was wonderful. All of our questions were answered. The tasting process was wonderful, and we had so many opportunities to customize our event to make it perfect for us. On the evening of our rehearsal and day of our wedding, Roy, Denise, Kristina, and Jennifer helped us feel so relaxed; we knew everything would be taken care of. The venue itself is GORGEOUS- whether you have your ceremony and reception there or just the reception, you won't be disappointed. Everything is just beyond elegant and your guests will love it. As for the food, I cannot say enough good things. Our guests were so impressed and so were we. You will love the bridal and groomsmen suites and more than anything else, you will love how La Massaria will make you feel that on your wedding day, you and your soon-to-be spouse are the only couple that has every been married there. Highly recommend!

staff did the most amazing job! Throughout the whole process Kristina was amazingly accommodating to all of my questions and concerns. Anytime I sent an email with a crazy question she responded promptly. Everything was set up exactly how I would have done it myself but so much better. The food was great and the service was beyond great. Our bridal attendant Jennifer was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I also swear the staff put in a good word with the big guy to give us amazing weather! My husband and I kept saying to each other, "something is going to go wrong" because the day just continued to be that perfect. Nothing at all went wrong and I am so extremely happy that we went with La Massaria for our wedding day. I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue. If you are looking for the most perfect and stress-free wedding then you need to book La Massaria today! Thank you to everyone who helped make our day so special!

ceremony space, cocktail hour and reception. Of course, the whole venue is beautiful, but it was the service and their experience that made the wedding day truly fantastic. The staff was incredibly accommodating, attentive and friendly and treated the groom and bride like a king and queen. They handled all the "extras" so that the bride/mother of the bride didn't have to worry. In summary, it's a beautiful space with incredible staff who truly make the wedding day spectacular!
