“We could not have asked for a better experience at Bellevue. We knew Bellevue was perfect for us because the park held a lot of memories, and the mansion is so stunning and full of history. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and we loved that our cocktail hour could be inside and outside. The reception tent allows for you to see the park/greenery and horses, which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The food was great, and everyone loved the bartenders, and the fun surprise Barbie drink was so cute! We were so grateful for the cocktail hour food in the dressing room and the desserts ready at our sweetheart table. Also, the food wrapped up at the end of the night! Those were all very sweet touches! We truly appreciate all of the effort the team put into our day, it was so magical! Thank you!”

“Lindsay and her team are amazing! They told us that if all we wanted to do was show up with our dress and suit we could, or we can make as many choices as we want… We opted for making choices on things that mattered to us and let them do the rest. Boy did they deliver!!!! The venue was beautiful and well prepared for our day! They worked with us within our budget and made our day absolutely perfect…My husband and I both said we want to get married again every day as long as they are in charge. The food, cake, and beverages were amazing! By far the best wedding food I’ve ever had and our guests agreed. Lindsay and Vicky took great care in every detail of our day to make sure it reflected us and they took great care to ensure we were not stressed at all…it was truly amazing! Again, my husband and I both were so happy and grateful for all of their hard work and commitment to us having the perfect day! We’re anxiously awaiting our professional photos, but here are some from family and friends!”
