We looked at a lot of hotels and larger,
well known venues but when we got to
Bella Notte, we were blown away. The
owners, Stephanie and Carol, were so
friendly and eager to please. Throughout
the whole process, it was like having two wedding coordinators. The setting was beautiful - Carol can make all of your decorating dreams come true. As for the
DJ, all I can say is WOW!!! Myles was fabulous. I made sure everyone was having
a good time. I had some request of songs
that I didn't know the names of and he told
me "no problem." I couldn't have asked
for a better DJ.
