I have nothing bad to say about this venue. All communication we had with them was efficient, professional, and helpful. They were ready to help with everything we needed and met all that we were looking for. Everyone invited was in love with the cottage and the venue space. I think the weekend package is an incredible deal and was absolutely worth it. The space itself was everything that I had dreamed of and it all came together so beautifully. Could not recommend Il Bella Gardens enough!

I held my son and his now wife’s reception here in Sept 2024. You will not find a better person to work with than Sandra. She has the best idea’s and will help make your event special and perfect. The Bonaparte castle is a must see to appreciate its beauty. Her way of putting ideas together with your own brings her event space to life. Not only are the renovating a castle but they have a great outdoor space including a fire pit. There is a small tavern that can be used for that very purpose. I am holding my own wedding and reception here next Oct and couldn’t be more excited to work with her again. Please enjoy my photos.

My husband and I had our Asian-Indian fusion wedding at the Le Meridien/Sheraton Charlotte Hotel and I couldn't have chosen a better spot to host my 500 guests. It was a 2 day event starting off with our Sangeet in the Carolina Ballroom for 250 guests and moved into 2 ceremonies in the same ballroom the following day and then cocktail hour and reception in the Symphony Foyer and Ballroom for 500 guests. From the very beginning the planning was smooth and everything was communicated freely with Alison, the Director of Catering. On the weekend of, the banquet staff was impeccable and were fully focused on making our event go on without a hitch. I would 10/10 recommend having your wedding there because of the size the hotel can accommodate and the service that is provided.

Clem and his team were just phenomenal to work with. Every text, phone call was responded to immediately. It was like we were their only client or event--and that was quite the contrary.
