I've worked with La Bella Planners (LBP) twice. Both times I was so happy that I had hired them…read more They made sure I enjoyed my events as much as the guests did. My husband and I decided to get married in Chicago. I wanted a simple wedding with good food and beverages and originally decided to do all of the planning. I had a bare minimum list of what needed to be done and I had a fixed budget. With 2 and a half months to go and lots left to do I called LBP. They delivered a wedding that was everything I wanted, but better. I was able to focus on being a bride. I enjoyed the details that they put in, the regular updates via email and calls, and the day of service. I was blown away by the decor, LBP was absolutely right about the florals. The services provided included: - budgeting with what was left of the original budget to include things I had left out: - florals - place cards - menus - day of food options - recommending hair, makeup, photographer, florist, and transportation company - a trip to chicago to meet with all vendors - review of all contracts - day of coordination (included runs for red bull, wrangling groomsmen, dealing with all vendor questions) - coordination of transportation for bridal party and out of town guests - working with my officiant (friend) to ensure she felt prepared In 2011 my father and I planned a surprise party in NY for my mother. At the time I lived in Seattle and he was in NY. LBP went above and beyond to handle all our asks including: - food everyone would eat - a location with parking - Long Island venue (for ease of commute) - a well stocked bar (my family loves wine but I prefer bourbon) - a Jazz band to sing "Fever" during dinner - a Haitian DJ - 11/11/11 event date The party was amazing, they delivered everything and then some (flowers, theme, favors, tipping guidelines, ATM runs!, a children's room for some energetic cousins)

We had to do a lot over zoom and email, but I always was informed and confident about how the day was coming together.

I would trust this company with all my most important moments and am so very grateful to have found them!

They curated our cocktail hour menu to incorporate both Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican food, which was incredibly special to us and something our families absolutely loved. Charlie, the chef, was amazing, and Sophia was such a wonderful point person throughout the entire process. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and everything felt so well taken care of on our wedding day. Our guests continue to talk about the food and how beautiful everything was. We also hired Elena, the maitre d', to help us with some of the decor, and she went above and beyond. She made sure everything looked beautiful and, most importantly, that the entire night was running smoothly. Knowing she was there taking care of everything allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Swan Lake didn't just host our wedding, they helped bring our vision to life and made us feel so taken care of throughout the entire experience. We will always be grateful for that.

The place is well maintained and cared for. The room we were in over looked the golf course, so we were able to enjoy the deer running around and the golfers doing their thing. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I left it to them to handle the timing of everything dinner start/ ice cream desert and cake. I'm not a professional planner, but they sure are. You Nailed it. Hahaah thanks for making my evening stress free. The cake was phenomenal, beautifully decorated and tasted amazing. The ice cream station I added on was a hit with the kids. Perfect amount of toppings and the ice cream was good. I'd suggest this add on to all. The food was amazing as well and I'm a picky Ala Vodka guy, this was up there with mom's cooking. The grilled steak was perfectly marinated and t asty. I tried the Alison chicken as one of my mains and it was delicious as well. I was pleased to have made that choice. I chose the stuffed fillet of sole as my fish choice. I'm not a seafood eater due to allergy. But my family went up for seconds. Also I wanted to review the salad. I chose the Greek salad, something many people enjoy but it's one of the sides I pick apart and only eat what I like. The way the salad was prepared was unique. It was separated in a way you can grab the greens and whatever add ons you want and leave what you don't off the plate. Small things like that add up to me. I thank you all at BCC for being a professional establishment while being exceptional people to be around. I wish you the best success. I'll see you for my next event. Thanks.

Beautiful Venue and Great Food, but Management Prioritizes Corporate Revenue Over Contracted…read moreTimelines Our wedding at Bellport Country Club was a mix of a beautiful celebration and incredibly disappointing management logistics. The Positives: On the day of, the food was absolutely fantastic, the cocktail hour food was delicious, and the floor staff and bridal attendants worked tirelessly to take care of us. Management was responsive during the planning process, let us drop off our decor a day early, and the venue grounds are physically stunning. The Realities Future Saturday Couples Must Know: While our day was beautiful, working with upper management revealed a frustrating pattern of empty promises, restricted spaces, and logistical failures: * The Saturday Premium Trap & Timeline Shortage: Saturday evening weddings require the highest financial premiums and guest minimum numbers, yet you receive the least amount of venue access if they book a prior event. Despite locking in our evening ceiling lighting layout a year in advance, management booked a high-volume morning party right before our slot. They promised us in writing that our florist would have a cleared room at 5:00 PM. Instead, the morning party ran late, obstructing our setup, delaying our food service, and resulting in a 12.5% loss of our contracted evening reception window while permanently rushing our portraits * Cramped Spaces & Limited Photo Access: Despite marketing their beautiful property, you are highly restricted on space. We were not actually allowed to use the golf course for our photos; there is essentially only one specific spot near the property you can utilize. Additionally, the indoor cocktail hour space was incredibly tight and uncomfortable for our 225-person guest count. * The Operational Double Standard: Looking back, the planning process felt like we were just being 'yes'd to death' by a sales department that didn't want to say 'no' to a premium booking. They market the venue as 100% customizable, but they lack the operational execution to handle the reality of those custom designs. Furthermore, a glaring operational negligence was set: management has since attempted to blame our vendors for timeline delays, completely hiding the fact that our family and guests arriving at 5:30 PM physically witnessed the morning party's guests still lingering inside our paid ballroom footprint, while our entertainment team was also delayed in setting up their equipment * The Verdict: What is most disappointing is that when we privately reached out to management via email to address this mathematical timeline shortage, we were met with initial gaslighting and have since been completely ignored. For a venue that actively campaigned to be named "Long Island Brides Best Venue" by using giveaway promotions, it is deeply discouraging to see that they put immense operational effort into winning marketing awards, yet completely falls short when it comes to delivering basic corporate integrity to a verified client. If you book an event here, verify every operational boundary in strict writing, and hope and pray they don't book a party right prior to yours, because management's verbal assurances are completely empty.
