Not only is this venue breathe taking but the staff at Bella Sera Event Center sure take care of every little detail! I've had many women warn me about how fast the actual wedding day goes. "Take a step back and soak in all in." "You'll be so busy running all over the place, you won't get to eat or drink so try to do so prior to walking down the aisle." Sari sure helped with all the small details, reminding us to eat and drink, even helping our guests with refills and serving salads! Speaking of, the food was perfect!

I would recommend the Bella Sera to anyone! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Anytime I had a question or concern all I had to do was send an email and within a couple of hours I had a response. John was very thorough when explaining our appetizer and dinner options and the food was amazing! I am still getting raving complements on how delicious the food was. Sari helped coordinate our ceremony and reception decorations and was very patient when I couldn't make a decision. She offered suggestions and helped point me in the right direction. Sari also coordinated the day of the ceremony. She had everything running so smoothly I didn't have to worry about a thing. She even made my our dinner plates and brought them to us and had a slice of cake waiting at our chairs once the cake was cut. Bottom line, our wedding turned out better than I could have ever thought it would. Whenever anyone asks how the day went the only word that comes to mind is PERFECT!

Elizabeth, her husband, her children, and her team were AMAZING!! When we first drove up to see the Bella Sera we were skeptical, it didn't have much curb appeal to say the least, but then we walked though the doors. I was absolutely amazed by how beautiful it was. When you walk in the first thing you see are the two staircases that lead to the gorgeous balcony, it makes for great pictures. I looked at my mother and grandmother and said, "Mom, this is where I want to get married." Elizabeth greeted us and from that moment I knew we were going to have a GREAT time planning our big day. She was very strait forward with the pricing of everything, and we chose to do the Bellisimo package, I recommend it. They do EVERYTHING for you. The only extra things that we had to do was get my wedding dress, print my invitations, pick my flowers, and cake. I was 6 months pregnant when we planned our wedding, if those were the only things I had to do…….I was in! Elizabeth and Sari kept me in the loop of my wedding every step of the way. If I wanted to know something, or had a question, all I had to do was text or call, they got back to me within 48 hours. You have to remember that you are not the only bride they are working with, they also have lives and families to take care of, so if they don't get back to you within 2 hours, it's okay, they didn't forget about you. March 11th FINALLY came, I was so nervous and excited, Sari gave me the biggest hug and handed me a Coors Light, my day had finally arrived!!! The room was better than I had ever imagined and everything went smoothly. I chose to have a sit down dinner and I screwed up ALL the name tags, I didn't know that though, Elizabeth and Sari took care of all of it. I had no idea something was wrong. Please if you are a bride and you feel lost, call Elizabeth, I promise she will help you and make your day amazing.

I LOVED having my wedding here! My new husband didn't want a huge affair and it was just the perfect venue to make us both happy! It was catered to meet our requests and our vision was brought to life immaculately! Sari, Kaylene, John and all of the staff were amazing. I would definately recommend! Thank you Bella Sera for giving me one less thing to worry about!

GUEST




I absolutely LOVE the Bella Sera and Elisabeth!! My dreams came true and I could not be more satisfied. The Venue is BEAUTIFUL and was more than I imagined. The service we received deserves more than just 5 stars. Everyone there was extremely friendly, professional, and amazingly talented. The looks and staff are not what sold us though; it was the VALUE. We literally SAVED into the $thousands$ of dollars. But dont let "value" make you think its not quality. The decorations, table linnens, lighting,DJ and service was EXQUISITE, the food was DELICIOUS and the appetizers were to die for....After our wedding our guests said it was the most beautiful, classy, well organized wedding they had been to... even their own; infact, all of our friends are still talking about it. Everything was very lavish, classy, and sparkling... true royal style! You're a princess marrying your prince charming... DREAMS COME TRUE at the BELLA SERA!!
GUEST




A beautiful venue with wonderful caring individuals. They made us feel like they really cared about us as a couple, our story and being apart of our special day. It was so stress free having almost everything done through them as far as complete ceremony and reception decor, lighting, catering ,they set us up with a wonderful DJ, Photographer, Cake, and floral person. I really could not have asked for an easier stress free experience especially having planned ours in three months!! And the day of the wedding was just the same they had someone in charge of every detail that all I had to do was show up and get dressed! I would highly recommend the Bella Sera! Our wedding was a dream!!

I’m not sure where to begin, there are so many brilliant things to say about Bella Sera. My now husband and I found Bella Sera in a bridal magazine when we first started looking for a venues to host our Scottish themed wedding. At first I was unsure about Bella Sera due to the beautiful Tuscan atmosphere – not very Scottish...but after talking with the coordinators we both knew it was the place for us.
Bella Sera bent over backwards to make our day special. The décor was above and beyond anything I thought we could afford; not to mention above and beyond anything we could have afforded at any other venue. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful our wedding was. And the food was unbelievable!! I know what you’re thinking, wedding food…really?? But Bella Sera knows how to cook!
Yet, what I took away most of all is how Bella Sera made us feel. Not only do they have the formula for hosting a beautiful celebration down to a science, but they also know how to make their couples feel relaxed. I wasn’t at all stressed on our big day, well not about the venues at least. They took care of everything, down to the very last detail. And the planning process was so much fun!
I would recommend Bella Sera to anyone throwing any type of party! These guys are the best in the business; unbeatable in my book!

I can't express how AMAZING our Winter Wedding was at The Bella Sera a few weeks ago. We are still hearing from my friends and family about how blown away they were at the decor and the ambiance at our wedding. I could have never created this on my own without Elizabeth from Bella Sera. I had an idea for a winter theme that wasn't Christmas or green and red and their designer Elizabeth created a Winter Ice theme that was out of this world. The snow and icicles, candles in water, the crystal branches...it was amazing. We had blue lighting that was spectacular and really added to the overall feel. We just couldn't believe we could afford this type of wedding. For any of you who are looking for a reception hall that gives you tons for your money, you have to check out The Bella Sera. It is so gorgeous inside and everyone who works there is awesome. The food was great, the people were great, and the decorations they include are just unbelievable. My friends just loved the unique way we used the balconies to walk out onto for our big entrance and when I threw my bouquet. They also have the best DJ's to choose from. We partied all night. Thank you Bella Sera for everything you did to give us the most unbelievable wedding day. Kim

I would highly recommend the Bella Sera to any of my friends or family! Elizabeth was such a pleasure to work with and really had our best interests in mind whenever we were planning out the special day. The cost helped out my family so much because we were on a budget but everything was so beautiful and high quality. All of our guests had a great time and we couldn't of done it without the Bella Sera!

Wedding Date 5/28/10 The McNeal's
We had a wonderful time working with Elizabeth and her staff. At the last minute we had to change our rehearsal dinner place and John was more than helpful he rented out his restaurant outdoor patio to us at a very resonable price!! The staff were awesome and to top it off the food was delicious. The Venue was all that I could have ever dreamed of. My Bridemaids and I used the bride and groom rooms to get dress and it got a little hot in there. So hopefully they can get better AC My husband and his groomsmen used the new room that they were working on and he said it was fine for him and the guys. We used both stair cases for the wedding processional aand it turned out great. I think we were the first ones to do this. The only thing I can offer is to have two photographers like we did to make for wonderful pictures. My guests all raved about how good the food was and how beautiful the wedding was. The Reception tables were decorated with their flowers that were silk, the tables cloths and chair liners were also covered with their linens in the colors of our wedding. This was truly a money saver for us. I can truly say Elizabeth and her staff made me feel like a Queen on my wedding day and I would recommend The Bella Sera Event to anyone who is ready for the star treatment!!!!! Thank you to everyone at the Bella Sera Event Center you guys are wonderful!!
GUEST

As Mother of the Bride, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful Wedding of Lisa and Ben at the Bella Sera. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! The hall was just stunning, romantic & breathtaking & the food was delicious, we've gotten so many compliments. Everyone had such a wonderful time.
GUEST




The Bella Sera made our wedding day the most perfect day of our lives. First of all, it's astonishingly beautiful, from the moment you step into the lobby; makes an impression right away. Second of all, they take care of just about EVERYTHING! Our wedding was so easy to plan because of them. They provide all-inclusive packages that cover everything from food to candles to linens to flowers. Our wedding was breathtaking, with pretty much no work from me or my family! And I'm pretty sure it is literally the best deal in the Denver-metro area; believe me, I did my research. I never would have thought it was possible to have such a remarkable wedding for what our budget was (almost non-existant) and the Bella Sera was the crux of what made that possible. Plus, the staff there (headed by a wonderfully sweet husband and wife team, John and Elizabeth) made our actual wedding day so easy and stree-free. The staff took care of everything flawlessly, and (best of all) without bothering me or my husband about anything. If there was even the slightest hitch in our wedding day, I didn't notice it! Plus, Elizabeth has a lot of experience, and therefore a lot of cute and clever staging ideas; the flow between our ceremony, grand entrance, cocktail hour, etc. was flawless and comfortable. I overheard many friends and family members commenting on how ours was the best, most fun, and most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to; and while I'd like to think it's cuz I designed such a great event, I know the real credit goes to the Bella Sera!

The Bella Sera was the perfect venue for our wedding! The gorgeous interior, with balconies and beautiful staircases, allowed us to have all our photographs taken onsight. I loved working with Elisabeth, she was incredibly helpful and so sweet. She is very accommodating to the clients' needs. She has so many great ideas, she was able to help me design the wedding of my dreams. We had a large wedding, over 300 guests, and the planning, day of, and wedding event were seamless. The food was amazing and cost was much lower than other places my husband and I looked at. I thought it was an incredible deal for the small budget we had. Overall, I think the staff at Bella Sera offered superior service in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend the Bella Sera!

The Bella Sera truely is a "dream come true" venue! Our wedding day turned out more beautiful and special than we ever could have imagined because of the extraordinary staff there!! We chose the Bella Sera for a few reasons. First reason being the beautiful atmosphere and the initial “wow” factor when we first walked in. Second was after we spoke with the leading lady, Elisabeth. When we saw her passion and love for this business she had us sold. She explained our options and we decided the Belissimo package was as “worry free” as a wedding could possibly be! She spent countless hours with us over email, phone and in person which proved to us that she truly had our best interests in mind. You can’t find this type of service and honesty with such a beautiful end result anywhere!!! In our personal design sessions, she helped us transform the Bella Sera into the romantic, warm, glowing and elegant setting we had imagined. Their preferred vendors we used were above and beyond spectacular as well. They all worked together as a team to make our day seamless! We couldn't have been more pleased with our results! Thank you Bella Sera and team!

The Bella Sera Event Center is truely the picture perfect venue for any wedding, any season, or any theme. There neutral coloring and classy decor presents elegance at the highest level. Not only will this venue knock your socks off with its presentation, but the staff is absolutely, with out a doubt, one in a MILLION. You will not find another venue whose staff truely cares, listens, and delivers like the Bella Sera.
Elisabeth, kaylene, john, and amelia all gave 100% every step of the way. There was not a moment when I felt uneasy or unsure of what the final outcome was going to be. They promise and the execute on point. The professionalism and experience honestly exudes from the first meeting.
I thank you again for making Jay and My wedding that of a fairy tale. I would do it over and over again with you!

Elisabeth designed and coordinated my event fabulously. She helped me decorate the venue perfectly to my taste. She was very generous as to also provide me additional decorations and facilities at no cost. She was attentive to my needs and worked with me through my event removing any issues and headaches along the way. She also suggested and executed events during the event that added a wow factor to the whole day. I would recommend Elisabeth and The Bella Sera to everyone
GUEST




We were very fortunate to have found Bella Sera in that it offered so much for the cost. Starting with the beautiful Tuscan decor throughout which provided amazing photo ops, the soft ambient lighting along with twinkle lights and candles create that romantic atmosphere to the array of choices in decor to personalize the space and the amazing menu choices that will please any palette. Finally, the very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff headed by husband and wife team John and Elisabeth who have a way of making you feel so special and that they are there just for you. It's awesome to know you have people on your side that are ready and willing to make your day the absolute best it can be and love to do it. They go above and beyond what is expected and add that extra special something that takes it to the next level. I've always believed that it's all in the details and they leave no detail unturned. I am a perfectionist who is very detail oriented and super organized so it meant the world to me to know that Elisabeth was on duty and that I didn't have a thing to worry about. I was so free of stress and was in a zen like state the day of my wedding and I am so thankful for that. I simply was able to be a guest at my own wedding and fully enjoyed myself. We have gotten several compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Bella Sera and the team made that all possible for us and we are forever grateful!

It's hard not to fall in love with Bella Sera's simple elegance. I also find it to be one of the most beautiful places for pictures.
GUEST




Or wedding and reception were held at The Bella Sera Event Center on April 2, 2010, and we couldn't have been happier with the service we received. Elisabeth (the owner) guided us through the planning of the wedding and reception and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. The night of the wedding, Elisabeth went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect; she even stepped in to help when our pastor did not show up for our rehearsal! Elisabeth made sure that no detail was overlooked; we can't put into words just how wonderful the Bella Sera is.
There were times when our voice messages were not returned promptly, however emails and text messages were responded to very quickly.
On the day of our wedding, we easily had 20 guests ask us how we found this venue because it was so beautiful. The mother of the bride even commented that she had never seen a more romantic and beautiful wedding.
It is without hesitation that we recommend The Bella Sera Event Center.
GUEST




As the mother of the bride, I was thrilled with all of the services provided by the Bella Sera Staff, namely Elisabeth and John. The wedding went off without a hitch, okay 1 tree the lights went out, however, Elisabeth jumped in her car and ran to Walmart to purchase a new set of lights. That was After she moved a tree from another location to the front. Elisabeth and John were onsite for the entire ceremony and nearly the entire reception. The food was WONDERFUL, and I have had rave reviews on it along with having people that actually served the food rather than a traditional buffet. I can't stress enough the wonderful evening we had. Another plus is the friendliness and one-on-one help from Elisabeth. We met with her on several occasions to pick out the decorations, the table coverings, etc. any suggestions that Elisabeth recommended was great. She does this everyday and I, having only 1 daughter, did this once. I highly recommend the Bella Sera Event Center to anyone looking for that right spot.
GUEST




Bella Sera Event Center is a perfect place to have an indoor wedding/reception. We were always treated like the center of attention. As most brides get nervous and stressed leading up to the day of the wedding, Elisabeth and John took care of almost everything so that our families and ourselves can have a stress free, fun, relaxing day! Elisabeth and John definantely know their stuff when it comes to wedding planning. I would definantely recommend the Bella Sera Event Center to anyone and everyone that is looking to get married in the future.
GUEST




I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. The Bella Sera was picture perfect. Our ceremony and reception was perfect. The wedding coordinator, Elizabeth, was very helpful. Having the wedding at the Bella Sera was very stress free for me. They did everything for you from decorations, food, center pieces, chair coverings, etc. I had other ideas for my center piece and they had no problem bringing in fish, yes fish for part of my center piece. They were very helpful and I truly had an amazing wedding. Thank you so much
GUEST




The Bella Sera was a beautiful place! We held our reception here and everything turned out wonderful! Their packages are great as they include rental of the venue, decorations, table linens, place settings, center pieces, and then the package we selected also had a DJ and lighting. It was nice to have a one stop shop for vendors. They also have a recommended photographer (however we opted to go with a photographer we selected to fit our personalities so I don't know how their recommended photographer is).
There were some hiccups during our planning process. The packages imply they are all inclusive meaning they cover lighting and the DJ however we ran into situations with both lighting and DJ vendors during the planning where someone we wanted cost extra but we weren't aware of the additional fee until we were being asked to pay the fee. In one situation it was early enough in planning that we were able to go a different direction however in the other situation it was the day before the wedding we found out about the additional fee. The Bella Sera and vendor was great and worked with us to resolve the situation and to ensure we were happy. I appreciate that they worked with us but the one area I would liked to see better is their communication. I would have liked them to be more upfront about possible additional cost and throughout the planning, I would have like more contact with the staff as most of the month leading up to the wedding I felt in the dark about what was going on and when we would actually get to make final decisions.
The only other issue we ran into was also minor. It had to do with the payments. The payments are set up in installments and you have to call each time to place the payment. They were difficult to get a hold of to make these payments. One time, we had called several times and left numerous message with no response. The day after the payment was due, we received a call letting us know we missed a payment. Obviously this was frustrating but after explaining that we couldn't get a response to make a payment, they did remove the late fee.
Again the Bella Sera is beautiful and I would recommend it. Just be aware of the lack of communication and if they offer something during the planning, always ask if it is an additional cost.

This venue is fairly new. It has a tuscan theme. Very romantic. Lights everywhere that can be as bright or dim as you want. Holds big groups. We has 380 people at our wedding. Great bar! Great food!
GUEST




The Bella Sera staff was very easy to work with. They communicated with me very well during the event without drawing me away from my friends and family. The decor they provided was beautiful and the food was delicious. I would definately have another event there.
GUEST




Bella Sera was one of the hardest places to work with. Everything turned out fine on the day of, but to get to the end result was a rough road
Vendor response to review
Unfortunately our family had to deal with a major tragedy several months prior to this client's wedding reception. We agree with them that we must have been hard to work with during that very difficult time in our lives, and we regret that they had frustration prior to their wedding day. We are happy that they stated everything turned out fine the day of their event. We made sure, and always will make sure, that everything we do the day of our client's wedding ceremony and reception is delivered with the best service and with true compassion and excitement for "their celebration"...even if we are experiencing times of difficulty. Our "pre-event" coordination and preparation is something we have established to be very easy and enjoyable for our clients. We truly are sorry that this client felt frustrated during their pre-event contacts, and appreciate their comments and feelings :)
Simply put, the Bella Sera cares about your wedding. I have had the privileged of working with Elisabeth and John on several occasions. I am incredibly impressed with the amount of work they put into making every Bride & Groom feel special on their day.
Elisabeth is extremely detail orientated and puts special thought and consideration into the decor of each wedding. Although the same decor may be selected from wedding to wedding, Elisabeth magically creates an atmosphere that is unique for every couple. The weddings I have photographed at the Bella Sera have each looked as unique as the couples married there. I believe this is because Elisabeth & John really get to know their couples. If a couple has a special idea or theme they would like to implement, they will make sure to make it happen.
Although the Bella Sera is an indoor facility, they offer options for the Bride and Groom to go off site for some of their wedding photographs. Not only do couples get to take advantage of the grand staircase, they also have the chance to optimize the city of Brighton. This really is the best of both worlds. Particularly for couples looking for an incredible value.
The Bella Sera offers not only bang for your buck, but the opportunity to work with two of the finest vendors in Colorado. If this Tuscon inspired venue doesn't win you over, Elisabeth and John will. You are in great hands when you select this facility as your...
The Bella Sera Event Center is a beautiful Romantic facility that is the perfect spot for brides that want their wedding day to feel like an escape from the ordinary. We love shooting there!
Bella Sera is a team of warm professionals that treats you like extended family - John and Elisabeth go the extra mile to ensure a wonderful event for each and every one of their valued clients. Once you step inside the Bella Sera, you can relax and allow them to host you and your guests for a "beautiful evening"... beginning to end.
