Saxon Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy; they were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls with a friendly and helpful attitude. The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there. The staff at Saxon Manor went above and beyond for us on our special day - they were attentive to every detail, from the setup and decor to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Saxon Manor to any couple planning their wedding! Even the food was a huge hit.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we stepped onto the Bella Cosa property, we knew we had found something truly special. Every step of the planning process was easy and stress free. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. The stunning lakefront setting, historic charm, and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to say “I do.” A huge thank you to Brittany Knox, our incredible wedding consultant, for making that process so smooth. We couldn’t have done it without her and our planner! Without sounding too sappy. What truly set Bella Cosa apart was the feeling it gave us. From exchanging our private vows under the oak trees to the bubble exit on the front lawn with all our loved ones. Then to end the night sitting around with our family/friends, eating pizza, just chatting about the magical evening in the upstairs suites. And don’t get me started on how awesome it was to be able to stay on site, night of! To any couple searching for a venue that combines natural beauty, historical charm, and heartfelt hospitality, Bella Cosa is a place where wedding dreams are not only possible—they're brought to life.

  • Exudes old-world charm

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Best for events with big guest lists
When I heard about the Colonial at Sunset and its location, I assumed it was going to be another barn venue. Nothing wrong with barn venues, it just wasn’t our vision for our day. The entire property was our backyard wedding dream and the owners made our experience better than we could have imagined. Britt and her husband went above and beyond for us. Before we even arrived to start getting ready for the day, her husband was out front pressure washing the outdoor area where we chose to have our ceremony. I am so grateful for their hearts and the details they payed attention to so we didn’t have to worry about it or even think about it. We opted for the all inclusive package which made our experience with planning that much easier. I recall one meeting asking if I was missing anything or if there was anything more I needed to do because it all felt too easy and she assured me that with her help, that’s how it was supposed to feel. Leading up to the day of the wedding we knew we wanted our focus to be on each other and God and walking into the day we knew we could confidently do that because of Britt and the way she serves others on their special day with excellence. If you’re not just looking for a venue but a family who cares about you and your day, then you should stop looking because you’ve found it with the Colonial at Sunset and their amazing team.
