We were lucky to have our wedding here in September 2019. Michelle and Tasha were amazing to work with. The venue was everything and more I ever dreamed of. It was private, quiet, beautiful, set next to a creek with a very rustic chic feel. Many of the items were we used were included in the rental of the the venue. Very affordable for the value we got! Highly recommend read more

Bella Rosa Farms is a beautiful, rustic, woodsy setting, ideal for a wedding venue. We celebrated our daughter's afternoon wedding here in early October, and it was a perfect day! The owner, Michelle, and her property manager, Tasha, are so nice to work with and have put a lot of time and effort into making Bella Rosa an ideal wedding spot. The ceremonies are held in a lovely wooded area next to a creek with wooden pews and arbor. The reception area is directly adjacent to the "outdoor chapel." The venue provides a large table that can be used as the head table for the wedding party, or in our case, for the buffet dinner and drinks served to our guests. Our bride and groom sat at a sweetheart table under a canopy of trees clustered with hanging lanterns - so pretty. There are wooden hutches scattered about that may be used as drink stations, desserts, favors, etc., and Bella Rosa provides a long list of antique furniture, and decor that may be used at no extra charge. There are two bars, a dance floor, two air-conditioned cottages for each the bride's and groom's parties, a separate building with two restrooms, comfortable seating areas scattered around the property for guests to relax in small groups, bocce ball and ample space for other outdoor lawn games and activities. The accent of a huge lighted "LOVE" sign added a special touch to the event. The natural beauty of the setting, along with the many rose plants on the property provide a spectacular backdrop for wedding pictures. In the afternoon, the sun dappled through the trees and created the most beautiful light. As the sun started to set, the numerous sets of string lights and lanterns that adorned the property were turned on, creating the most magical effect. Many of our 150 guests commented again and again on the beauty of the venue, and the bride, groom, and our families couldn't have been happier with this choice. read more

We were referred to this venue by the owner of White Ranch, who was not available for our date when we called. We were so lucky that Bella Rosa Farm was available, because our wedding turned out to be completely magical! Michele, the owner of Bella Rosa, is pretty much the nicest person you will ever meet. She has put SO much time and effort into beautifying the venue in the past year. We can't even count the number of enthusiastic compliments we received from our guests about how perfect the venue was. Our photographer, who has been shooting weddings for several decades, commented many times on how good the lighting and background was for pictures and said he would love to shoot another wedding there in the future since it was a blast to take photos there. Here is a direct quote from him: "It is so easy to make beautiful photos at Bella Rosa. You have just the right mix of shade and foliage!" You are sure to get gorgeous wedding photos if you have your wedding at Bella Rosa! For starters, the venue is a rose farm, and as such, there is a lot of natural decoration that reduces the number of arrangements you need to make or buy. Michele trimmed her rose bushes before the wedding with perfect timing to make sure they would all be in bloom on our wedding day! Michele provides lots of services that other venues do not provide for free, or which you'd have to outsource to another company, such as lighting. After sunset, she and Bethany went around and turned on all these beautiful string lights around the venue that made it look Pinterest-perfect. To quote some of our guests, it was a "beautiful wedding," and "a dream of a wedding"; and we couldn't agree more, in large part due to the tireless efforts of Michele and Bethany! General amenities the venue provides: two air-conditioned cottages, one for groom's party and one for the bride's. A gorgeous rustic wood table that easily sits 18-20 people--we used this for our head table and were able to seat our entire bridal party there with their significant others. A bocce ball court. A great dance floor with pretty lighting. Lots of beautiful antique furniture, signs, and other miscellaneous decorations that really add a lot to ambiance and reduce the amount of items you need to rent or make yourself. Nice seating area by the creek. A cool rope swing that the kids much enjoyed. Awesome bar. Ample parking well-separated from the wedding area. And much more! A few things to note if you have your wedding here: it is a fully outdoor venue so be prepared to provide either umbrellas or a tent to keep your guests shaded during dinner in case of heat, depending on the time of year. It is also a good idea to provide bug spray, although Michele has the property sprayed for mosquitos before the wedding. The ceremony area is completely shaded by mid-afternoon and the area is totally gorgeous with a lush green backdrop for the arch and some beautiful wooden benches for the guests to sit on. It's a great venue for Spring and Fall weddings when it's not as hot. For our September wedding, the high was in the low-to-mid 90s. Thankfully, we had purchased lots of wooden fans for our guests; these helped a LOT and were incorporated in fun ways into our guests' dancing, which made for some awesome photos and video. In summary, the wedding venue was completely wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Michele and Bethany were a pleasure to work with, and the venue was the ideal size for our wedding of ~120 people. In short--we would choose to have our wedding here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

Our daughter recently had her wedding here. It was a wonderful event due in no small part to this great venue and its manager Michelle. It is comfortable, relaxing and beautiful. Everyone connected to the venue was kind, easy to work with, and utterly efficient. Many of our 100 guests were from out of town, and many of them had been to very high end, exotic venues in Hawaii, India, and so forth, but without fail they told us sincerely that this was the nicest, most comfortable wedding they had attended. The ranch is a typical Butte County Farm in Durham, and the venue is simple, a little dusty, and rustic. But the bride and groom's dressing rooms are comfortable and sweetly decorated. There is a lovely long walk from the bride's house to the altar, plenty of time for a dad to contemplate all that is happening! The shade of the trees and the lovely orchards make a beautiful light, and when the sun goes down, the lights in the trees come on, and the sunset is reflected on the foothills to the east, it is just a great place to be. Parking is ample and easy, and numerous small decorative touches and signs make a charming atmosphere. The dance floor is great! Michelle and her staff are to be commended. She did our flowers as well, and they were stunning. Highest marks! read more
