We booked our venue about a year out from our wedding date and we were so lucky to work with such a wonderful family. You can tell from the moment you tour, to the end of your wedding, that this family cares deeply about the venue and the couples that get married. They were incredibly helpful in pointing us to other vendors in the area. We found our caterer and bartender through them. The bridal suite is the largest space I'd seen of any venue. Our stylists said it was the best space they'd worked in as well. We experienced a torrential downpour right before our ceremony and everyone was so patient and willing to accommodate us so we could have our ceremony outside. Everything worked out as we wanted and we had a magical time. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and were able to have a great time. The venue even accommodated us having salsa lessons during our cocktail hour. Mia Bella Gardens has perfected the art of hosting a wedding. We could not have picked a better venue for our special day!
