Customer Reviews

I didn't think this was possible, but you did it: You not only lived up to the hype, but you may have actually surpassed it.  In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I joked with you that every time someone asked where Kaleigh's wedding was and I told them La Massaria, the compliments were so off the charts that I started to think you had planted these people out in the community to build up your reputation :) I had never experienced a situation like this, where a business is so unequivocally praised by so many.

Last June when Kaleigh and James started their venue research I told them to make sure that for any venue they considered, the reviews for service were really strong. Yes, I hoped they would find a beautiful venue and yes, I wanted the food to be great, but more than anything I knew that the service - before and during the wedding - could make or break the whole experience. I wanted our guests to walk out of the wedding saying "that was one of the best weddings I've ever attended." And that's exactly what happened.  Our guests could not stop raving about the wedding from the moment they arrived. I had people raving at cocktail hour and I thought man, this event has just begun, they don't know what is in store when they get upstairs! Of course, the beauty of the venue was a knockout, but it was also the terrific food and the great service that really stuck with people. No one was waiting for drinks or food because you had the right ratio of staff to guests. There was plenty of food at cocktail hour which is not always the case at weddings. Having two slider stations kept everyone well fed and not waiting. And the servers were so friendly all night long! One of the male servers is in a terrific candid photo and he's so part of the group, for a minute I didn't realize he was a server until I saw the tray in his hand. Another young female server was so attentive that one of my guests said he almost tipped her and then thought "that's probably not done at weddings!" The woman who took care of my first table could not have been more attentive and friendly to us. People kept coming up to us and commenting on the whole experience all night. And then back at the hotel afterwards. And then the next morning. And then on Facebook and in text messages this week. This is on top of the tremendous service and support we received from both of you over the course of the engagement year. Christina, you not only responded to every question quickly and informatively, but it was clear you took a personal interest in the wedding and making sure it all ran smoothly. We cannot thank you enough for your help these past 13 months. La Massaria is fortunate to have you on staff!  Hats off to the two of you and the dedicated staff at La Massaria for doing everything it takes to pull off a complex event like a wedding without a hitch.  More than anything we wanted this once-in-a-lifetime event to run smoothly for Kaleigh and James and their family and friends so that the day would be wonderful and memorable, and that's just what we got. Many, many thanks!! 

Kaleigh and James

We had our ceremony and wedding here Sat 8/15/15. I can not say enough great things about the venue!! From first meeting, Roy and Alicia and Christina- all professional and helpful and really helped to plan the most amazing day. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that includes a lot in the price per head- this is your place! Flowers and cake were included as well as service fees. This really stood out to us as we looked at other venues in the area with the same type of rustic charm. The day of our wedding could not have run more smooth! Denise and Ashley, who helped us the day of - were great!! Denise put me at ease during our Rehearsal and answered all of my questions and put our whole wedding party at ease. Ashley was assigned to us during the day of and she was great!! Thank you SO much to the both of you for making our day amazing. Also can't forget Roy- he knows how to make a wedding flow and made sure to keep the day going along- never worried about anything. If you are looking for an amazing venue at a great price with an amazing staff and preferred vendors- please check this place out. Thank you again to everyone at La Massaria!

Allison & Scott

Thank you so much! Everything was absolutely perfect for our big day. I am still getting a ton of emails, texts, calls, and messages saying that our venue was amazing. Everyone loved it!! Evan and I talk every night about how things could not have been any better than what they were! Thank you so so so so much!

Erika & Evan

I just wanted to say "Thank you," and to tell you how truly AMAZING my wedding was and cannot thank you and the rest of the staff at La Massaria for everything you did. 

Our guests are still raving about the decor, the food, the SERVICE...everything. 

A special thank you to Roy for offering to set up the ceremony both inside and outside because we didn't know what the weather was going to do and to Diane for specifically helping Joe and I throughout the entire night (and making sure we got ice cream). 

Lea and Tim

I absolutely LOVED La Massaria at Bella Vista. Everything with them went to so well and I felt like I didn't have a care in the world that day! They made sure I was happy and taken care of. My DJ did not show up and Roy was able to call me a replacement DJ who showed up within a half hour of being called - they kept me so calm, it was fantastic! Food and drinks were very good and the venue itself is gorgeous. Everyone was so easy to work with and they made everything a piece of cake! Awesome value!!! Highly recommended!

Katie and Dan

La Massaria is absolutely an amazing venue to have a wedding at. My husband and I had our wedding here April 25th and the day could not have been more perfect. The venue to start is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. My guests are still gushing about how amazing the place looked!! It is truly a unique experience to have your wedding held here and people will be talking about it for many years to come. Planning my wedding here was such a breeze with the staff that works here. Roy and Christina helped me plan every step of the way and were extremely responsive and accommodating. I knew I was in good hands when I started working with them. They had every single detail exactly how I wanted it when I showed up the day of my wedding. I did not have to worry about anything as it all was perfect. The food here is incredible. My guests are all saying how impressed they are with the food, as it is not like normal wedding venue food. It is delicious. The appetizers are amazing as well as the dinner. The service on the night of the wedding was unlike anything I have ever seen at a wedding. My husband and I had Denise and Diane tending to us all night to make sure we had everything we needed. My parents and bridal party said the exact same thing. From the moment we arrived at La Massaria for our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. I am absolutely in love with this venue and the people that work here and I would recommend it to anyone who is planning a wedding!

Christin and Eddie

Thank you all so much for everything you guys did to make our day special! Everything was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff :) Wishing you all the best and see you soon!

The venue looked breath-taking, and I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the food, service and just how beautiful it looked! You two were amazing through the entire process and we had the best day of our lives! Thanks for everything!

Lauren & Shane

Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the day we visited La Massaria, we knew it was where we hoped to have our reception, but we never imagined our day would turn out EXACTLY as we envisioned. You staff were the perfect people to make our vision come true. Everything - the set up, the food, the people, the atmosphere, and the slurpee machines were nothing short of perfection. We could not have asked for better people to make our wedding day what it was. Thank you for all of your help and support during the planning phases. You were so professional and patient with us as we made change after change, week after week. We were able to enjoy every second of our time at La Massaria (which wasn't long enough) and not have to worry about a thing! That is a reflection on both you and your staff. You are a well-oiled machine and it shows! We will recommend you to everyone! There are no words to describe how much we appreciated everything you did for us. We are so lucky to be able to forever think back on our wedding day with nothing but joy and happiness. That would never have been possible if it weren't for you and La Massaria. You made our wedding day a dream come true. See you at 3 for $15 soon.

Lauren & Pat

Words cannot express how grateful we are for working with you to create the perfect day from start to finish. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, you have been there for guidance and support. Our wedding day was absolute perfection thanks to your team.

We all felt confident in your capable direction and were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy a fantastic day, create many happy memories and get some amazing pictures. Our guests raved about the gorgeous location and scrumptious food. No wonder La Massaria books up so quickly and we feel blessed that we were able to celebrate this special day in such grand style and professional hands. We will strongly recommend La Massaria to all those looking to host a special event and hope to visit again often at your various holiday banquets. You guys rock! Thank you.

I'll let you know so you can share La Massaria's beauty! Thanks!

Nikki & Dan 

Thank you for the excellent job in having La Massaria look exactly how we envisioned it to be. The room was absolutely beautiful. When Christine first walked in, she turned to me and said, "It's perfect, exactly what I wanted." The food was delicious from the appetizers at cocktail hour right through to dessert. I'm still hearing from so many who attended how wonderful everything was. We are most grateful to you both for all you did for us during this last year. Thank you so much again.

Mother of the Bride

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day the perfect day that it was. Working with you all was super easy and we knew we could relax on our wedding day because we knew you and your staff would take care of it all. Our families and friends couldn't get over the beauty of the facility and we couldn't get over how attentive you and your staff were to our needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your venue to anyone who asked me about it. It's no wonder you've won the phl17 Philly Hot List 2 years in a row! Thanks again!

Jill & Eric

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you both for everything that you did for Bri and I regarding our reception. From the actual proposal itself, straight through our beautiful reception, you and Roy could not have been more helpful. Your eagerness to assist us in any way was really refreshing and it was truly a joy to have dealt with both of you. I would also like to commend your staff for the hard work they did at our event. Every person that I have spoken with had an absolutely wonderful evening due in large part to the professionalism of your entire staff. Also, please relate my sincere thanks to the server who was assigned to Bri and I. Throughout the reception, we never needed to ask for anything. From refilling our drinks to the service of our meals, she was on top of things before we could even ask. Be assured that we both will highly recommend La Massaria to anyone that may ask. You two are truly great at what you do.

Hard to believe the wedding is already three weeks past us. It was a wonderful day, perfect weather and setting for our youngest daughter and final wedding. Thanks for all your hard work, both you and Roy, Randy and his staff, Bea and all the wait staff. Hopefully we will attend other events at Bella Vista, and my wife and girls hope to plan my retirement dinner/party there - my favorite place. Thanks again for everything.

Jeff and I would like to express our appreciation to everyone for making everything so amazing on Sunday. The servers were amazing, the food was out of this world, the room was beautiful and everyone was so, so helpful. Even with the rain on Sunday, we really couldn't imagine how the day could have gone better. We very much appreciate how helpful and nice everyone was. It was a great experience, and we will make sure we recommend La Massaria to our friends and family, although the ones that were there were all very impressed. Thank you so much again; you were a pleasure to work with.

Lindsay & Jeff Kimmel

We just wanted to thank you, once again, for the amazing job you did with our recent March 31st wedding.

We will be sure to recommend La Massaria to anyone looking to host a special event! Many Thanks again!

Amanda & Jason

Beautiful! Wonderful! A dream come true! Those are some of the comments Bill & I heard at the wedding of our daughter Amanda to Jason last Saturday. From our first arrival to the Bridal Suite to the last shuttle departure, we were made to feel important and special. We would like to thank everyone who helped. Bea, Roy, Alicia and all the servers and attendants who made all of us involved feel very special. So many of our friends attending were unaware of your venue, but after Saturday, they were aware of the work you all do. Thank you for making a special day truly special!

Mother of the Bride

What can I say! What a wonderful wedding reception we had at La Massaria for Julia and Steve. We were so pleased.
