About this venue
Our beautiful 2 story lakeside lodge was built in 1925. The Italian inspired architecture and stunning views have made it a popular vacation spot for the elite and famous in the past. Now an exclusive hire venue, it has been tastefully renovated to complement the original cypress ceilings, grand staircases, and period chandeliers throughout. With an indoor capacity of 150 guests in the ballroom, or outdoor capacity of 200 guests either in the courtyard or on the lawn overlooking Lake Pierce , Bella Cosa is the perfect space to cater to all your requirements. We have one, or two-day venue rental packages available, with optional on-site accommodation in our 11 guest suites for up to 30-32 people. Not to mention a dedicated “getting ready room” providing the perfect space to prepare for your big day.

AMAZING!
SJ Events is lucky to work at Bella Cosa often and proud to be one of their preferred vendors. The space is absolutely breathtaking and creates the perfect backdrop for any wedding. What truly stands out, though, is their incredible team— from the helpful ladies in the office, to the staff who expertly set up the floor plan and maintain the grounds, all the way to the dedicated night crew. Everyone is supportive, professional, and truly committed to making every event flawless. Highly recommend!
DREAM VENUE
Our wedding at Bella Cosa was nothing short of magical — truly the day of our dreams brought to life in the most beautiful way. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking landscaping, the meticulous attention to detail, and the exceptional team who made everything feel effortless. Every inch of the property felt like it was made for us, and the atmosphere was pure romance. But what truly set Bella Cosa apart — and what I’ll be forever grateful for — were Shelby and Lori. These two women were absolute angels throughout the entire planning process and on our big day. Attentive, compassionate, communicative, and endlessly kind, they became the rock I leaned on, the calm in the chaos, and the guiding hands that made everything come together perfectly. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them. Shelby and Lori didn’t just help coordinate a wedding — they helped create memories that will live in our hearts forever. Thanks to them and the entire Bella Cosa team, our wedding wasn’t just an event — it was a flawless, joy-filled celebration that exceeded every expectation. If you’re dreaming of a picture-perfect wedding with a team that truly cares, look no further than Bella Cosa. It was everything I hoped for, and so much more.
Bella Cosa Wedding
From the moment we stepped onto the Bella Cosa property, we knew we had found something truly special. Every step of the planning process was easy and stress free. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. The stunning lakefront setting, historic charm, and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to say “I do.” A huge thank you to Brittany Knox, our incredible wedding consultant, for making that process so smooth. We couldn’t have done it without her and our planner! Without sounding too sappy. What truly set Bella Cosa apart was the feeling it gave us. From exchanging our private vows under the oak trees to the bubble exit on the front lawn with all our loved ones. Then to end the night sitting around with our family/friends, eating pizza, just chatting about the magical evening in the upstairs suites. And don’t get me started on how awesome it was to be able to stay on site, night of! To any couple searching for a venue that combines natural beauty, historical charm, and heartfelt hospitality, Bella Cosa is a place where wedding dreams are not only possible—they're brought to life.
Magical
Bella Cosa Lakeside Wedding Venue was an absolutely spectacular venue for our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, the staff were incredibly attentive and responsive, walking us through every detail to ensure our day went off without a hitch. On the day of, the venue was set up exactly as communicated in the diagram, and the overnight manager and Lori were both wonderful to work with. We were so grateful to celebrate our special day in such a beautiful and serene setting. This venue truly exceeded our expectations in every way.
