I had an amazing experience working with the staff . When I first booked, they had only been open for one summer but it is gorgeous and was perfect for me and my husband because we wanted to have the ceremony and reception in one location. Almost all of our guests were from out of town so it was much easier to have it all at one place. I decided to rent all my center pieces from them and when I first met with them they only had a few option. When i went back in closer to the wedding they had SO many new awesome ideas for center pieces. I told them my budget for decor and center pieces and they made up a couple different samples to pick from, I was also able to add or take away elements of the center piece. Right before my wedding, they bought these great rhinestone wraps for the vases and added those in for free because they thought they would look great! I don't think many companies would do that! At the end of the night, I didn't have to do a thing! Since I rented everything, I left with all my guest and we headed downtown Iowa city for a little more partying!
Communication with the Owners, Melissa and Lyndsie, was amazing. One of them was almost always at the Bella Sala so when I would call I got a hold of them. They always responded to emails very quickly. They were so helpful and friendly. I really didn't know what I was doing and since my family lives out of town I was taking care of most wedding stuff by myself. They referred me to businesses for catering, flowers and photographers. I was able to get ready in their bridal suite, get dressed in their bridal shop and they were even nice enough to steam my dress before I put it on!
I thought the prices were great. Anywhere else in Iowa City is going to charge a ton for the location rental, bar, food and decor. The location was a straight fee which was nice because I was able to figure out if it would work with my budget from the beginning. The outdoor ceremony space was great and cost less than using a church! They set up all the chairs and made sure the space was clean and beautiful. The Bar prices were very reasonable. I have a lot of friends getting married right now and we have compared prices and by far, what I paid was much less than other venues.
really organized which made me feel at ease.

The staff at bella sala makes planning so simple! They provide expert and professional advice on how to facilitate the wishes of the couple within their facility. The staff gave us timely reminders when decisions were needed, yet we never felt pressured. We heard, “Trust us, this works best,” so many times, and they were right!
We really appreciated that the facility offers many services that eliminate the need to work with multiple vendors. Bella sala can provide nearly everything you need for your wedding day! Working with one of their preferred caters was also a great experience, since they work together on a regular basis. Even the DJ knew the “routine.” We didn’t have to make decisions like “the buffet table goes here,” or “the DJ will set up there.” Those details just happen.
The staff was wonderful on the wedding day, as well. When it rained at the last minute, the ceremony was quickly moved indoors with little effort on our part. Once the decision was made to move inside, bella sala’s staff went into action, and we were ready to go with only a brief delay. Over 350 people were quickly moved indoors!
Other than the weather, the day was perfect. The staff was attentive and made sure that every detail was taken care of for us. We’re still smiling when we think about it!

Our time at bella sala was absolutely wonderful! The staff was a great help and was a delight to work with. I was glad that I didn't have to worry about the refreshments being replenished. And the fact that I had help cleaning up all of the tables and decorations at the end of the night was such a relief. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the hospitality that bella sala offers. Thank you for all that you did in making our day special!

I can't think of enough superlatives to compliment all that you did for our wedding reception. You were on top of everything, and I received many compliments about that from the guests. In addition, when I could feel myself getting a little stressed, I appreciated your calming nature.
You have a very well trained staff--they were all very professional and sweet. Nick was extremely impressed with how you handled the open bar, asking questions and keeping him updated as needed. He said he couldn't have asked for better. All of our guests were very impressed with the venue.
I know this is your job and business, but I can't express my gratitude enough. You really have found your calling. I will recommend bella sala to anyone considering a reception/wedding hall.
