Last week, I had the opportunity to tour a brand new private estate in Montecito, La Bella Vita. The property features a formal lawn with a fountain for cocktail hour, and a lush tree lined lawn for the ceremony and reception.

On the upper half of the picture is the area for cocktail hour and welcome drinks.

This is the ceremony/reception area from above. Instead of using the lawn, you can also use the adjacent walkway and setup one long feasting table for dinner.

And this is a close up of the ceremony/reception area. The trees are magnificent.

The property is incredibly, serene, lush, and in a private gated community in Montecito.

Some notes:

• Max guest count is 200.
• For guest counts over 50, additional bathrooms need to be rented.
• Guests would need to be shuttled in and can be dropped off right next to the formal lawn.
• All rentals, catering, kitchen, power & additional lighting need to be brought in.
• Music must be off at 10pm.
• The property only allows 3-4 weddings a year.
• At minimum, a day of wedding coordinator is required by the estate.
• A dressing area for the bride is available at the house (which is above the event area).
• The house is not available for overnight accommodations.

If you’re interested in the property, please visit the website.
