Can't use real candles because of handmade farmhouse tables that aren't even in the best condition and owner has limited LED or battery operated candles. Guests said alot of the chairs didn't look or feel stable. Owners have their children do parts of setup they aren't capable of doing properly. One of the owners told my dad that the bride had a bad attitude when I had barely even seen or spoken to the man. You have the venue until midnight and the owners starting flashing the lights on and off at 1030 because they were trying to get the bartender to start packing up. They hired the bartender for 5-11 but the reception didn't start til 6 and nothing could be served until security showed up at 630. We paid $1000 for the bar. No heat or AC inside reception building. Propane heaters outside that don't do a whole lot of good. Bridal suite is not practical for bigger bridal parties at all. Owner had supposedly just cleaned bridal suite and it was still very dirty minus clean sheets. Light bulbs were out and toilet paper was not stocked. Bathrooms are located completely across the property from the reception building. Apparently they have a sewer system that sprays close by the bridal suite with no signs not to park there. Owners attended the entire reception and just watched everyone making everyone uncomfortable. Their kids were mingling, running serveillance and telling people what to do. Paid $100 for non alcoholic beverage station and it consisted of arizona sweet tea (in TEXAS!) and great value lemonade. A door apparently was left open and a cat ate what was left of the cheesecakes and some of the cake and trailed cake covered paw prints all over the tables. When I visited the venue the pond in the background was green and she said they would have it cleared up by my wedding. It was still the same. The venue is gorgeous but it's not quite functional for big medium sized weddings. It's not great for the winter and I imagine it's not any better during summer either. If it had owners that knew more about the culture where they are located now and weren't so uptight and rude, it wouldn't be a bad place. It needs some work and is definitely not worth the money.

I'm grateful for the background education she provided for us Yelpers so that we could understand why there was such a huge upcharge for the HWC, but am even MORE impressed that she took immediate action to remedy the oversight for future customers. We'll be back in the area for the upcoming Solar Eclipse- and I'll look forward to another delightful cup of coffee from Postmasters because their customer service is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

I was a guest of a wedding over Memorial Day weekend at this spectacular venue…read more It was the second planning of my friends' wedding, the first of which got caught up in a well-documented scandal at a another nearby wedding venue. I'm told they lost all their money in that deal. Making Bella Vista happen for them was a three month money and planning scramble for a young couple that lacked the financial resources to make up for the loss. Luckily, by delaying their event by just one day on the same weekend, they came out the true winners. I'll leave the details at that because I had no involvement in the wedding arrangements other than showing up and enjoying this couple's special day and happy occasion. But I will say this. If you're looking for a scenic wedding or meeting venue with a gorgeous overlook of Lake Palestine, ample parking, and a very genial staff, look no further than Bella Vista. They make lifetime memories at Bella Vista, yours included. They keep their word, honor their commitments, and won't leave you rode hard and put up wet.

Wow! This newly-renovated & reopened event venue is just amazing! When I first moved to Athens, I…read moreknow I saw the closed-down version of the place at a distance. It always intrigued me. But I was thrilled to know that they reopened it for multi-purpose events. I first came during the soft opening during the Fiddlers' Reunion weekend & saw a live concert happening. I also came for the "Art On The Bricks" event. It's neat that they can move the stage, since for the soft opening the stage was on the right brick wall (with the audience portable fold-out chairs situated so that the left & right were further apart than the front & back), & for "Art On The Bricks" the stage was on the back wall (with the windows & view of the town square parking lot behind it). For the art show, there was more space to look at tables of displayed artwork, munch on finger foods (catered by Railway Cafe, next door), sip on drinks (wine, water, or tea), & you could mingle around or sit down (upstairs in the balcony or at some standing-friendly downstairs tables). The restrooms are also nice, & very well-maintained, with plenty of multiple stalls. The upstairs balcony is really neat. It's a great place to sit & eat at small tables (or move them together for bigger groups), or you can sit at a bar-like table overlooking the balcony if you have a smaller group. Overlooking the balcony was an incredible view! I'm staying posted on future events held here, because I definitely want to keep coming back!
