Awarded Best of Zola
The Villa is the first venue that my now-husband and I visited when we were looking for a place to host our wedding. From the very beginning, the Saphire Event Group staff at The Villa were unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions even before we picked them as our venue. Once we picked the date and the wedding got closer, we were paired with our event producer, Daniella Cimino. Daniella was nothing short of exceptional throughout our whole planning process. She made sure that all of our questions were answered, that we felt confident in the timeline of our day, and made sure to go over even the smallest of details to make sure that nothing was missed. We truly cannot thank Daniella and the event staff at The Villa enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work to ensure our day was picture-perfect. The food was incredible, our guests are still raving about all of the unique options and how great their entrees were. We would absolutely recommend working with this venue, their team, and Daniella to anyone who is considering this venue for their special day.

The Lakehouse is straight out of an interior design magazine and the waterfront property is unbeatable. Staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. They have this business down. Our event producer, Victoria, was so helpful throughout the entire process, always timely with her replies to our various questions that came up along the way. Sapphire Event Group provides the service of a bridal attendant the day of the wedding and mine, Becky, was a huge help relieving stress and keeping me looking and feeling my best all night!
