We cannot say enough amazing things about Bello Giorno Estate. The location of the estate is adjacent to a small river, which made for absolutely spectacular wedding photos. Think Secret Garden meets Italian Villa! We also loved the intimate feel of the banquet hall, which was the perfect fit for our wedding size. Our guests loved the food and service. Even though we planned our wedding remotely, working with Monica and Stephanie was incredibly easy, as they were very responsive to both email and phone calls. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us and tailor our wedding so it would be perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!

This is heaven on Earth for us, and not so far away from NYC. The grounds are magical and the compound has everything we needed, including wood for the raging fire we made.

Our wedding weekend at Magnolia was nothing short of magical. The serene setting was the perfect backdrop for our Fall wedding, and everything we dreamed of and more. The peaceful grounds and sound of the stream was such a major part of calming our wedding jitters and keeping us at ease. The cabins provided such a fun way to have our nearest and dearest spend more time with us to make for a more intimate event lasting more than one night. The staff was the most hospitable and helpful when needed, while also giving us enough privacy and space. Cheyenne our event manager went above and beyond throughout the entire process of planning. From the moment we took the tour with her, she assured us we'd be in the best hands for our special day. She provided so much support, advice, information, even friendship during the entire process. She is so passionate about her couples and makes you feel so special and taken care of. Our friends and family raved about the beauty of the venue and can't wait to have a place to come back and stay. Not having a food tasting made us nervous at first but we were extremely pleased and impressed with all of the food, and chef and staff were so friendly and helpful through the planning process and at the event. Cheyenne connected us with Chef Danial and Bartender Tom when we had questions, and everyone was so approachable, friendly, and helpful. It was such a pleasure making new connections with them and we are so excited to have a new home away from home to come stay for anniversaries and getaways.
