I cannot say enough good things about Bryce, Courtney and the whole team at Novellas. They went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we wanted and more. Between communic...
ation and the planning process they made it so easy for us. Together, they made our vision come to life and granted everything we planned. The day of they were ON TOP of things. Always a call or text away and on top of it their personalities were so refreshing. For something as stressful as planning a wedding, they got us through it with ease. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS VENUE. 10000/10 Team/place.
I cannot recommend this venue more! Not only is it beautiful on the inside but Bryce and Courtney who help run the show put in so much time, effort, and energy into making it the b...
est day you could imagine! After our initial meeting with Bryce it was a no-brainer to go with Novella’s. They were the only venue that said yes to all of our requests and let us make the wedding more catered to us as a couple (DIY stirrers, signage, centerpieces, etc.). They only do 1 wedding a day so you are their main focus for the duration of your day. He will answer your emails, texts, and set up meetings with you if you ask! He also added some ideas we wouldn’t have thought of and walked us through the timeline and process with our goals in mind. Courtney literally went out of her way to grab extra baby's breath flowers for our centerpieces because they just needed "a little something" and she was SO right
Our family/friend’s raved about the food during cocktail hour and dinner. Good portions and great quality! My now husband was obsessed with their liquor selection and knew all of our guests would be happy in that domain. As the bride, I felt they ran a tight ship with no hiccups in sight and were easy to find if I had any questions. My guests said it was a true hidden gem that they didn’t know about but loved!
They also have a deal with the local Pastry Garden to give you a custom cake included in the venue cost! The venue is within walking feet of a local hotel (America's Best Value Inn - who were also fabulous to work with). Bryce also let us use the outdoor patio for an amazing after party!! Truly just good people to work with and SO easy to trust!
I’m unsure if I have the vocabulary to fully emphasize the extraordinarily positive experience I have had while working with Bryce and his team at Novellas. He put some much time, ...
attention, and effort into the prep of our wedding and more so the execution of our wedding. He was truly phenomenal! Food was super yummy, drinks did the job lol. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor with the disco ball! He was very easy to get in contact with. I was quick to get on to an email and he was just as quick to give me a response. If you’re looking for a family run feeling there is not other place to look at. We wanted an outdoor garden space for our ceremony and we absolutely got that! And with the balance of a cool ballroom. A fun blend! We also had our after party in the garden ceremony area. The fire pit went on and stayed on for us all night ! As we partied with my husband’s band and ate s’mores into the late hours! We had an absolute blast! I would recommend Bryce and his team to anyone looking for a fun and memorable night!
Novella’s did such an amazing job with our unexpectedly snowy April wedding! The staff tirelessly shoveled out the venue all morning in hopes that we could still have our ceremony ...
outside. Due to unpleasant weather, the team worked hard to move our ceremony inside, and it was gorgeous! Bryce and Chloe were absolutely amazing, and the food was delicious. We had a great time!
100% recommend novellas! We just recently celebrated our wedding there and we had the best. Time. They made the entire wedding process so easy for us, with menu items, decor, timel...
ines, everything. You name it, they did it! Bryce, Chloe, and their entire team were so helpful and kind. So willing to step up to plate, and the food was DELICIOUS. Super affordable and convenient as well, and they answered any and every question they had. Our special day was made even better thanks to the wonderful work of their staff and the beautiful scenery of their venue. My guests and family were overjoyed and welcomed happily by all of them, and I’m incredibly grateful! This place has become like family, and we’ll be back as often as we can now because of their professionalism and kind hospitality! Thank you guys!!
The whole night went so smoothly I never stopped smiling for the whole evening. It was truly magical and beautiful and because of Bryce, Chloe and Christine it was perfect. The foo...
d was absolutely delicious, my guests are still telling me how good the steak was! Thank you so much Novellas for being everything we needed and more. Chloe really should have her own separate review space because she was PHENOMENAL!! She did all the decor set up, helped with my hair, did my makeup. honestly mvp of the day, so helpful, knowledgeable, sweet, funny and kept everything moving forward while calming any and all worries. The atmosphere was fun, inviting and so classy. The grounds, including the waterfall were so beautiful we didn't even need to decorate outside. Open bar, and even the cake were included in our price (which was so great we booked at our first visit) Please go check out Novellas for your events, I am so happy to have found them for my wedding. The atmosphere was fun, inviting and so classy. The grounds, including the waterfall were so beautiful we didn't even need to decorate.
Bryce, the venue coordinator,is amazing!! He gave us a lot of tips, answered all of our questions and was very accommodating throughout our two year engagement, leading up to the w...
edding. I didn't need a day of coordinator because he went above and beyond for us and acted in our best interest. The venue was set up exactly how I wanted it to look, without me having to set it up myself. Bryce made the process of getting married feel easy and fun. I was able to relax and enjoy my special day thanks to him.
The food at Novellas is also fabulous!! The chef is from the Culinary. The apps for cocktail hour were amazing and we were able to add in special ones that we wanted. The meals were so flavorful and delicious! After the wedding, our guests said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Every staff member at Novella's was kind and hardworking. It was a wonderful wedding experience!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Words cannot even begin to express how amazing Novellas was for our day, June 21, 2024. If I could give them a million stars a would. Bryce and his team are incredible. Bryce was t...
here every step of the way, always answering every question I had with patience and swiftness. Bryce did everything in his power to make sure our day was absolutely perfect AND HE SUCCEEDED!! Due to the thunderstorm weather predictions, Bryce and his team spent so much time and energy to set up for an indoor AND outdoor ceremony and then let me make the decision to have it inside. The staff is so accommodating and polite. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we and every guest were taken care of! And the FOOD!! Absolutely delicious food!!! IF you are planning a wedding and want it to be talked about as the best wedding your guests have ever been to, CHECK OUT NOVELLAS!
We are so glad we chose Novella's as our venue. Bryce was wonderful to work with. He was quick to respond to any question we had. The weather had seemed clear enough for us to have...
our ceremony outdoors but took a turn just before it was supposed to start. Fortunately, Bryce and his team were able to quickly set up space indoors. Everything turned out beautifully! Food was excellent. All our guests loved it.

menu, and all of our guests raved about the food. The space is beautiful, and of course having two hotels right next to the venue was super convenient. I’d recommend Novella’s 100%.

ho was incredibly accommodating, helpful, and efficient. He was very responsive to all of our many, many questions and always made us feel taken care of. Novella's provided us with a plethora of vendors to help ease the wedding planning process. The ones we ended up booking were also incredible. The space itself is beautiful and elegant. They have an additional bridal suite that was able to accommodate our very large wedding party. On our wedding day, Bryce was around all day meeting every last minute need and request. It ended up raining and he provided many umbrellas for guests that needed it. It was a very comfortable and friendly environment. The additional staff was extremely professional as well and our guests raved about how great they were. We can't recommend Novella's enough!
Amazing. from the moment we booked till the very last song of the night. Bryce and his team were amazing. the day was more than perfect. Every single guest told me how amazing the ...

. He took care of everything from the ques for timing to stepping in to help behind the bar. He never failed to keep us calm with a smile on his face. I highly recommend having your wonderful day at Novellas. Between the beautiful venue and the amazing service.we couldn't have made a better choice. thank you so much!!
Novella’s was the perfect venue for our wedding! After numerous tours at other venues, Novella’s was the one we enjoyed the most. Megan made the planning process so easy, clear, an...
d not overwhelming. The day of the wedding was even more perfect. The staff made us feel so comfortable and welcome from the minute we walked in at 7am to get ready until leaving at midnight. We had some unique changes to our day and they were happy to provide suggestions and accommodations to make it happen! They set up the reception room like a beach-themed fairy tale! It was stunning to walk into! The service our family and friends received is still being talked about by our guests. They loved the food, the staff, and (of course)...the drinks! There are not enough words to express our gratitude for everything Novella’s did to make our day the most perfect wedding day! Thank you Novella’s!!!!

lt in wedding planner. She is honest and fair, yet easygoing and will do whatever she can to make you happy. The food -OMG THE FOOD! De-flippin-licious. And yes, we made sure we had the time to eat these culinary creations. Her staff is phenomenal, the service cannot be beat, and did we mention the food??? We also didn't find any other venue that was priced this reasonably and felt we got the most bang for our buck possible. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with Novellas in a heart beat. I want more special occasions in my life just so I can book here. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will want Dawn to be your best friend and you will have the time of your life, I promise! If I could give this place more thank 5 stars, I would. Love Love Love everything about Novellas!
Our wedding at Novellas was perfect. We were originally thinking of having our wedding at a non-traditional venue but were worried about the amount of work that would be required. ...
However, once we met Dawn, the onsite coordinator, we knew that Novellas was where we wanted to have our wedding. Dawn could not have been more accommodating and helpful with our requests and questions. We ended up getting the personalization that a non-traditional venue would allow combined with the ease of a more traditional venue.
The venue is a beautiful, newly done space that has a great sound system and lights installed. Our DJ waived his normal sound system fee as he was able to plug into Novellas sound system. We had roughly 100 attendees but the space could definitely fit more if need be.
While Novellas has traditional wedding food with service, Dawn made a custom Barbeque menu upon our request. In addition, since my wife and I are into cocktails and most of our family members are into craft beers, Dawn accommodated our request for a special beer to be served on tap as well as having the bartenders follow very specific recipes that I had created. The food and drinks were great and we had countless family members tell us how much the enjoyed them.
The staff at Novellas was attentive and professional which really allowed us to just enjoy ourselves on our special day. I would not hesitate to recommend Novella’s for any event.
I couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception. The whole staff went above and beyond for all of our needs. Not only did we have an amazing time, but all of our...
guests did as well. People are still telling us how great the venue and the food was!
Dawn and her staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Anything we needed, all we had to do was ask and it was taken care of. And the food was awesome!!! Most of t...
he guests had not been there before and could not stop telling us how fantastic everything was. I would definitely hold another party here in the future!
