What a night it was!
La Villa Bella not only worked intimately with me on my girlfriends 50th Birthday party (on every detail I might add)...they also joined us briefly to celebrate. Ownership was seamless and fluid throughout the process. Consummate professionals without a doubt. It was such a pleasure working with them.
Once the party started I knew (even more so) that I made the right decision. Everything was so perfect, from start to finish.
Thank you so much to Susan and her team for making this a special and absolutely memorable night for all of us.

Just had the wedding of my dreams at this location!! The staff has been beyond gracious through the changes that come with the pandemic. Once the day finally got here, I felt so relaxed and supported by the staff. Kim is great to work with! Everything ended up amazing, and the venue looked beautiful. I highly recommend La Villa Bella for any special occasion!

This lovely historic location was perfect for my daughter's wedding. We changed the date 3 times during the pandemic, and they were helpful and accommodating throughout. Their bar service and DJ were great, and our outside caterer setup worked just fine. Most of all the attentive, helpful and thoughtful staff made the day perfect. The venue is beautiful, especially as the day turns to evening and all the decor and lighting is magical. Thank you to all at La Villa Bella, I'd recommend for any special event.

From the moment we booked this venue to moment we packed up the last of the wedding items into the car..., Wow pure and genuine love and care for their guests. We booked this without our daughter seeing the venue because we knew she would love it just like we did. We emailed them they responded back quickly every time. Had some trouble with the bakery delivery ... they with no hesitation fixed it for us. This venue and the staff will forever have a special place in our hearts. Thank you Susan, Frank, Kim , and Shelley. Kim thank you always tending to my daughter and her husband... from pinning

If you're looking for a place to hold your special event, LA VILLA BELLA is it! The staff is excellent and ensures that you have all of your questions answered before the big day. They always went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed before AND during the event. The venue is quaint and stunning, from the large green trees and white rose bushes to the beautifully strung lighting and open pergola area. My wedding reception was perfect and I am so happy I chose La Villa Bella for our special day!

I planned my mom's celebration of life event which took place here. Throughout the planning process, the staff (special shout out to Kim) were all very nice and helpful. They had good communication and planned a wonderful event in two weeks. The event itself came together beautifully with the venue which had a peaceful garden type of vibe. The florist, DJ, videographer, and caterer they recommended all worked together to make the event better than I imagined. I told Kim that I was making Christmas ornaments to hand out and they offered to use a small tree as a prop for the ornaments which

To ditto the review my son Greg left a few minutes ago, I too can not say enough about Susan and her entire team of professionals at la Villa Bella. The panicked call I made to Susan on a late Friday night and her return call within the hour spoke volumes to me, my son and Jeanette! Susan explained she had a scheduled event from 12-6 the same day and typically would not agree to a 2nd event, but understood completely the bind we were in and said she would leave the evening available to us and would make it work! From that moment forward Susan, Kim & Shelly answered every call & email with

If there were an option to give 10 stars, I'd still request room more. The entire staff, environment, and energy exuded competence and positivity that we will remember forever. My wife and I had our wedding reception there this past weekend and I'm still in awe on how accommodating the staff were. Susan, Frank, Shelly, and Kim were fantastic in making sure our reception went by as smoothly as possible. Through COVID and all its chaos, we have had to pivot so many times through different venues, vendors, dates, etc for the better part of the year. The stress level was beyond imaginable

This venue is everything you need for an intimate yet spectacular event. The staff are so respectful, accommodating and knowledgeable. We had my little sisters wedding there and from the first day we were pleased. The venue was clean and even smelled good. All of the staff was hands on and attentive. I look forward to having more events there especially when we are able to go back to our normal non Covid-19 lives. Frank, Susan, Kim & Shelley THANK YOU

The place is gorgeous, the staff is decent, however I would not recommend or rent this place ever again, not only did my guest feel like they were babysat, every time you turned your cheek they were behind you! Horror movie if you will! Controlling is an understatement, they insisted on cutting the cake I thought how thoughtful, only to find out from my guest that they were given ridiculous small amounts of cake, then we ordered catering from the Italian place they recommended which they served my guest only two meat balls per plate? Didn't even smile at our guest! Beautiful place but these

We had a wonderful experience preparing and celebrating our daughters bridal shower. The staff was excellent, helpful, caring, and communicative from the facility manager to the property owner! We couldn't recommend this venue more highly! It was our second family party here and we will keep returning! They are an amazing staff and great to work with. They all helped the vision we had for the bridal shower come to life.

My wife and I recently got married here at La Villa Bella back in October. This venue was everything we could've asked for. Getting married in October, we were fortunate enough to have garden wedding and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Susan, Hayley, and Samantha helped us throughout the entire planning process and were very flexible with our requests. On our wedding day they made sure that everything ran smoothly so that we could enjoy our special day without any worries. Do not hesitate to book with La Villa Bella. Susan and her staff are the best!

This place is amazing. While in the planning process for my wedding, Susan, Samantha and staff were there to help guide me throughout the process. My wedding was this past Saturday and I couldn't of asked for a more perfect day, even with some guest issues, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect for my husband and I. The venue is beautiful and I only had to add my special touches. We used their vendors off their vendor list which included entertainment express (Brett is the best!) and corner butcher shop, everyone was so happy and had a great experience the whole day. I

Just had a great event at La Villa Bella this week. We used all 3 areas of the venue. Susan's staff was very accommodating because we needed so many decorations because of our themed event. They kept making sure everything was the way i wanted or needed it to be. Susan even helped us with the theme by decorating for the event too. She really is an all in event planner. Our over 100 guests really enjoyed the event. The cater she recommended was perfect. Food was delicious and also was themed. We even used the bar service. Everything was a success.

I had my wedding here on April 16, 2016.
Everything came out beautiful and my vision was completely captured. Marcel was great to work with and very helpful. Susan was great as well. They made sure everything ran smoothly from vendors arriving on time and helping make sure we stayed on schedule.
The outdoor patio is so beautiful and the hanging lights make the event look so magical and romantic. The stone room is also very beautiful.
My only advice with wedding planning is to always stay in contact With the venue and vendors to make sure everything is planned out correctly and to make sure everything

We Love "La Villa Bella" it's perfect for any special event. It's a beautiful historic landmark in Upland. We are so very lucky to have such a great place avaiable to us, thanks to the owner Susan. Susan was wonderful and made our wedding even more special with her attention to detail. Both our ceremony and reception were perfect. Our ceremony was held outdoors by that grand beautiful tree. The rest of our reception was both indoors and outdoors. Our guests loved the versatility.
Susan and her staff were Great!! Susan made sure all was perfect. She is Awesome and so sweet
