Yes! Our 18-hole course makes for playful, unforgettable wedding party shots. • Versatile Ceremony Spaces: Choose the Island, or the Meadow Behind the Mini-Golf Course—each offering its own personality and charm. • Sunset Magic: Bella Vita sunsets over the lake are so stunning that couples often plan golden-hour ceremonies or sneak-away photo sessions. • Weekend-Long Celebrations: Turn your wedding into a retreat—welcome dinners, rehearsal gatherings, brunches, bonfires, and overnight lodging for up to 30 guests. • Customize Everything: Bring your theme, décor, coordinator, and vendors; Bella Vita is a “blank slate” venue ready to match your vision.

Wedding/Family Getaway
Bella Vita Private Resort was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. The staff were incredibly easy to communicate with and made sure to listen to all of our thoughts and opinions throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly - The venue itself is spacious and vast, with plenty of room for our guests to spread out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for our special day. I would 100% recommend Bella Vita Private Resort to any couple looking for a stunning venue that also offers a wide range of activities for their guests. They truly made our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. The venue itself is spacious and vast, with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that allowed us to customize the day exactly how we wanted. When our DJ canceled last minute, the Bella Vita team jumped in to provide all the equipment and took over the music duties seamlessly, leaving us with no worries. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and the beautiful location offered so many activities for our guests. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to plan a family trip back soon. I would 100% recommend Bella Vita Private Resort for any even!
