letter from Erin
Hello everyone! I want to take this time to re-iterate how important you all are to us. We cannot thank you enough for being a part of our big, Bellagala team!  The Artist Appreciation Party was a hit! We were so happy to see such a GREAT turnout, and we hope you all had as much fun as we did. Make sure to head to the BG Facebook group to see all the photos from the event! Thank you all for stepping up this season, for showing us your commitment, your desire to learn and grow and the overall hard work that you presented to us and, most importantly, the couples. We really had a successful season and have you to thank for that! Many thanks and much appreciation, Erin Porter Operations Manager

ST E V E L | ASSO C IAT E D ISC JO C KEY “Our Bellagala DJ, Steve Ly, was fantastic to work with! His communication and planning leading up to the event was excellent which allowed him to tailor the experience to meet our preferences exactly. He was very professional and didn’t miss a detail. Most importantly, the dance floor was packed all night!”

“Lisa was absolutely wonderful to work with! Her pictures were amazing, she has so much energy and passion for what she does, and she is really up for anything! She was really able to get a variety of types of shots of all the bridal party and bride and groom, and did a great job capturing the details as well. We loved working with her, and would definitely recommend her!”

DAWN | STU D IO FLO RIST “Dawn was wonderful to work with. We only met once before the wedding but she was responsive to all my emails. She made beautiful arrangements and even made my bouquet unique with a special request. We cannot thank you enough Dawn!’”
LUK E W | ASSO C IAT E VID EO G RAPHER “Luke is prompt and thorough. He is the top of the line professional! Even on the wedding day, he went with the flow and understood the layout of the church and yard where we would be taking pictures and he would be taking footage. We highly recommend him and are confident that he will do an exceptional job on your wedding footage!”
