Bella Sera Event Villa

Our vendor inclusive packages have a 100 guest minimum and have a spending minimums that range from $18,000-$25,000. Our a la carte packages do not have a guest minimum and the spending minimums range from $10,000-$23,500. Holidays and holiday weekends may incur higher spending minimums.

A $1,500 venue fee is applied to your invoice, which contributes to the staff’s gratuity.

A 23% production charge is added to the subtotal listed on your final invoice. Overage on the spending minimum, 23% production charge, and 6% sales tax (on all but alcohol charges) is finalized and paid 14 days prior to your wedding date. This covers administrative aspects of booking an event such as telephone conversations, email correspondence, assistance and consultations, set-up and clean-up costs, labor costs, minor wear and tear to the facility, and other nonitemized costs associated with running an event. You will find that this is standard across the industry, especially with “inclusive venues” such as hotels or country clubs.

Yes, a $1,250 ceremony fee will be added to your invoice. The on-site ceremony fee includes an additional 30 minutes of event time, the set-up of chairs and decor, an event coordinator-lead ceremony rehearsal the day prior, and ceremony coordination on your wedding day. A rehearsal time will be confirmed and scheduled about two months prior to your wedding date.

If mother-nature isn’t cooperating on your wedding day and you have planned an outdoor ceremony, we will decide by 9am on the wedding day if festivities need to be moved indoors. If there is a 50% chance of rain (or higher) on “Weather Bug” during the time of your ceremony, Bella Sera makes the decision to move it to the Grand Room. If there is a lesser chance, the couple makes the call.

We host an annual tasting, typically on a Sunday in March. At the event, we will prepare 95% of our menu, showcase unique upgrade ideas, and invite our preferred vendors so you can meet them in person! You receive 2 complimentary tickets, and up to 4 friends or family members can join for an additional fee.

Our team will handle the setup and cleanup of all your personal décor items, such as photos, signs, table numbers, cake cutting set, guest book, etc. Our staff does not assemble or set up DIY centerpieces, backdrops, florals, or anything a florist would normally be hired to do. Please designate someone from your party to be in charge of these items or hire an outside vendor.
