About this venue
Piazza Messina is the perfect marriage of rustic & modern Tuscan décor in a beautiful natural setting. Piazza Messina includes 8,000 + square feet of private event space situated on 14 ½ acres of agricultural land. Featuring a bistro, ballroom & both an indoor & outdoor bar, our venue overlooks a beautiful four-acre lake. One of the most unique features of Piazza Messina is the seamless transition from an indoor to outdoor setting, including a wraparound covered portico with a view of the lake. Outdoor amenities includes accent lighting, fountain, pergolas, firepits, beautiful natural landscaping & our own "Luccheti d’Amore." Piazza Messina offers a “destination” type setting without having to travel hours away. Lakeside Wedding sites are offered on the property, as well as a bridal cottage to get ready for the big day on-site. Situated in quaint, historic downtown Cottleville, our property is conveniently located on State Highway N and very secluded, surrounded by groves of trees.

Want to Get Married Again
I can't say enough great things about The Piazza Messina—it was absolutely perfect. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Planning our wedding was a breeze, thanks to Avery and Mark. They were so responsive and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. We never felt overwhelmed or stressed, which is a huge win, especially while in the middle of our last year of college. The staff were incredible—quick, efficient, and super friendly. They took care of everything so seamlessly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Jeff met my parents when they visited the venue for a meeting and they mentioned how friendly and easy he was to talk to. They knew what we needed before we even asked. Since the venue is owned by Russo’s Catering, the food was fantastic. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. The bar service was equally impressive; drinks were served smoothly and they even included our signature drinks. The ceremony was stunning because the venue itself was gorgeous, and we even had the delightful surprise of deer peeking through in the background. It added a magical touch that our guests are still talking about. Even though we weren’t there to see it, we heard the cleanup was done in record time. The staff’s efficiency was clear, and it was great knowing they handled everything so well. I even got to talk to Justin who was overseeing our event and was ensuring every detail was how we wanted it. Overall, The Piazza Messina made our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue with fantastic service, amazing food, and a beautiful setting, this is the place. We’re so grateful for everything they did and couldn’t recommend them more!
Gorgeous wedding!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Piazza Messina. They did everything top-notch. Brenna was our wedding coordinator and is fantastic at her job. This was my dream wedding! All our guests said this was one of the best weddings that I’ve ever been to, I couldn’t agree more.
