During <strong>the</strong> prime wedding season <strong>of</strong> May-<br />
<strong>October</strong>, bella sala is pretty much booked<br />
solid, even hosting three or four celebrations<br />
in a single weekend, said owner and<br />
manager Melissa Fontanini.<br />
Couples are attracted to <strong>the</strong> serene<br />
outdoor waterfall terrace which seats up to<br />
400 guests on <strong>the</strong> lawn and patio. After <strong>the</strong><br />
ceremony, everyone can congregate in <strong>the</strong><br />
nearby bella sala hall for <strong>the</strong> reception.<br />
Staff remains onsite during <strong>the</strong> entire<br />
event, entirely taking care <strong>of</strong> setup and<br />
takedown <strong>of</strong> all seating and decorating <strong>the</strong><br />
space. Bella sala works with a list <strong>of</strong> prepared<br />
caterers to provide <strong>the</strong> best options for food<br />
and beverages.<br />
A boutique, XOXO Bridal, is located<br />
on <strong>the</strong> west end <strong>of</strong> bella sala, providing<br />
<strong>the</strong> wedding party with everything from<br />
invitations and accessories to bridal and<br />
bridesmaids gowns and tuxedo rentals and<br />
purchases.<br />
Outdoor weddings have become a trend<br />
over <strong>the</strong> years, Ms. Fontanini said.<br />
“It’s a destination area,” she said <strong>of</strong><br />
bella sala, which is nestled in 22 acres <strong>of</strong><br />
woodlands just a few miles from Highway 6<br />
and <strong>the</strong> intersection <strong>of</strong> interstates 380 and<br />
80. “It’s not far from Coral Ridge Mall but it’s<br />
out in <strong>the</strong> woods.”<br />
