  • Incredible Wedding Venue

    Verified review
    •Lauren S.•a month ago

    The Monte Bello Estate is truly the most incredible wedding venue! We had the most luxurious, beautiful and magical wedding experience, and we could not be happier about the entire day. We worked with Lauren, who was kind, amazing, attentive, and incredibly professional. She is an absolute dream to work with, and made our planning experience and wedding day perfect. From the tour, tasting, and the day itself, Lauren was so incredible to work with and made everything a seamless and easy experience. The staff at the MB was so accommodating throughout our entire wedding experience and was more than happy to help with anything we needed/wanted. The service throughout our wedding was also incredible, dinner food was excellent. We are so grateful for everything, and could not be happier with how beautiful our day was. Truly an unforgettable venue !!

    We want to start off by saying that The Monte Bello Estate was the first, and ONLY, venue we visited when selecting a wedding venue. As soon as we pulled up we knew we were someplace special. This venue somehow combines rolling green hills, beautiful trees, and a beautiful estate and as soon as you pull up you will quickly understand how stunning The Monte Bello is. We met with Lauren for our tour/meeting and she made our decision even easier! Lauren is incredibly nice, informative, and helpful, and she remained that way throughout our entire wedding planning process. She really is the best and we made sure to tell the owner of The Monte Bello the same thing towards the end of our wedding when he popped in to see how everything was going. Beyond the amazing grounds and staff, the estate itself is absolutely gorgeous. They had made some renovations to the estate, reception area, and bathrooms prior to our wedding and all the updates they made were a 10/10. We had our ceremony in the “forest” location, which was amazing, with a champagne/water station for guests to grab a drink on their way to get seated. The reception was inside and all of our 200 guests fit perfectly (shoutout Lauren for being so helpful with arranging the tables and making the most of the space!). We have received so many compliments on the food and drinks, whether it was the hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dinners, desserts, or our wedding cake, everything was outstanding. We really can’t recommend The Monte Bello Estate enough. It is such a beautiful venue, there’s no way you would ever regret having your wedding here. The amount of compliments we’ve received since the wedding are countless and we are so happy we had our wedding here. If you’re currently searching for a wedding venue, PLEASE set up a time to visit The Monte Bello Estate. We will never forget the day we had here! Thank you so much!

    From our first visit at the Monte Bello Estate, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We loved the stunning grounds and the gorgeous estate, each room is more beautiful than the next, but what made MBE our dream space is truly the incredible staff! We had the pleasure of working with Lauren and Abbey as well as other team members throughout, who all made us feel like family. They matched our excitement, answered all of our questions timely and ultimately went above and beyond to bring all of our inspiration to life. We feel so grateful for the team making the whole process so easy!! Our big day in August 2023 was everything we hoped for and so much more, the most magical day of our lives!! With all of the awesome renovations, we along with our favorite people got to enjoy the most elegant and unforgettable experience. The bridal and groom suites had the exact vibes we were going for, aesthetically beautiful for the gals and fun games for the guys, which made us feel so relaxed that we genuinely enjoyed the time with our wedding party while getting ready. We intentionally opted to have our ceremony inside, and it was the perfect intimate moment in which all of our 180 guests fit comfortably. There are so many gorgeous photo ops, and everything is so perfectly laid out that it felt totally natural to pause for photos and continue the fun. The outdoor cocktail hour space was unique to enjoy the grounds more, and our guests loved it!! The food was delicious, and thanks to the lovely MBE “Raise the Bar” event, we had the best additions to our bar and late night snacks. The service team was on point and took care of everything! We would take any excuse to go back, we love Monte Bello & the team so much!! We can’t recommend booking this venue enough.

    My wedding day at The Monte Bello Estate was beyond words! Everything ended up more beautiful than I could've imagined even with the light rain that day. My venue coordinator Lauren and the whole team last minute changed my ceremony location due to the rain and set everything up in a new spot outside by the clock tower so my guests would be able to walk on concrete and not the wet grass. That is the upside of choosing this venue, it is so large there are so many options and no matter what it will be beautiful! My guests raved how delicious the food was, I had multiple guests the next day and even weeks after telling me it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Our signature cocktails we chose were a hit and our guests enjoyed them throughout cocktail hour and the reception! Lauren our venue coordinator eased all my stress the day of and she was so attentive to me and my family. After the ceremony the venue had mine and my husbands favorite drinks on standby and a tray of appetizers for us. My mom even wanted a different white wine from what they were serving and they grabbed it for her right away! Before the wedding day the venue even does events so you can have your food tasting and then a separate day to experience their signature cocktails and desserts and see the add-ins you can include for your wedding day. The guest bathrooms were just remodeled as well and made a great backdrop for my guests to take pictures in! The reception space, the big glass windows, and the landscaping made for a perfect day that we will always remember! I cannot emphasize enough how happy we were with the Monte Bello Estate for our wedding!
