Just outside of Orlando near our hometown of Winter Park Florida, sits Bella Collina nestled in the rolling hills of Montverde, Florida. When we first visited this venue, we felt transported to a magical time and place and wanted to share this feeling with our guests on our special day. From our vintage European stamps on our invitations to the Italian inspired menu, we look forward to surrounding you with the spirit of Tuscany and the breathtaking, picturesque countryside that awaits your arrival. Our hope is that you experience the majesty of this amazing venue while celebrating our wonderful love story. Long gowns and back tie is encouraged as we dance the night away under the stars.

The beginning... In 2014, years before planning our dream wedding, Alayna was complaining to her sorority sisters that "there's no one worth while to date anymore" Alayna was surprised by a knock on the chapter room door only minutes after sharing her dating drama to her friends. A smiling sophomore everyone called "Mines" stumbled into the sorority house with a camo backpack on, sporting a football t-shirt and a contagious grin. "Hi I'm Matt, I heard you were studying here?" he said smiling at the giggling girls in the corner who so OBVIOUSLY called him to come over and meet Alayna. Not much studying was done that night - studying was replaced with laughter and ice cream! The rest is history.
