Villa Bar & Banquet will be an absolutely amazing wedding reception venue for our special day. We have great memories when it was a restaurant and of the lounge downstairs. The downstairs lounge has been completely updated as well. Wow! From our first interactions, the sales manager Christen was prompt, friendly, excited, and incredibly knowledgeable about all the details of hosting an event. The owners have done an incredible job keeping the memories while making major updates. The Villa team has been flexible in working with us to customize the space to our vision. We look forward to the end result to host an elegant, warm, and truly unique reception that will wow all of our guests. The gorgeous ballroom provides the perfect backdrop for our celebration from the waterfall and the tall curtains, and my future husband is happy with the sound system and huge TV for the DJ and the video we plan to show during the reception. We are so grateful to the team at Villa Bar & Banquet for helping prepare to make our wedding reception truly unforgettable.

Lifepoint Chapel was the perfect venue to hold our ceremony. From the very beginning, we had a wonderful feeling. Our tour of the chapel was beautiful. The large windows on either side create an enchanting ambiance during your “I do’s” and showcase the couple, as well as the bridal party. The pricing is very affordable compared to other vendors in the area, and this place is great if you’re looking to just have your ceremony there, or they do have a reception space as well as suites and bathrooms. The bridal and grooms suites were the perfect size, have decor and furniture that look great in pictures, and help you feel comfortable during your big day. The communication from the venue coordinator as well as the day of coordinator, officiant and sound technician were nothing short of amazing. Wonderful, kind people who are not only there for their job but actually care about the people, and help you along the way with any and all questions you may have. They make sure down to the details that your day is absolutely perfect, and ours was! Chrissy was great in communicating via email all of the details of our booking, and helped with questions. Jim, our day of coordinator, understood when we had car troubles the night of the rehearsal, and waited to start until we got there, but entertained our bridal party and family. He helped make a stressful night a relaxing one, and not worrying about the wedding day. Our officiant, Dale, made sure that our vows were pristine, and said and did exactly what we wanted. The sound tech was given super detailed instructions with our first kiss as a couple, and he nailed it!! All of the songs that were played were played perfectly. Overall, every person we talked to or met in this process was nothing short of kind, professional, friendly, personal, and very supportive. We couldn’t recommend a better venue that is just full of good people, views, aesthetics, and affordability.
