The restaurant's existing reputation means your catering quality is already vetted by hundreds of diners.
The best decision! The venue and food were amazing. Gaia and her team are the coordinators at this venue and they were absolutely wonderful. I was in tough with Gaia for a little over a year (international wedding) and the process with her was so reassuring and stress free. Our day was absolutely magical and came together, and flowed so well. It was not challenging to find vendors for this location.The food was phenomenal. We had lunch on the day we visited the venue and then the dinner/meals for the wedding was just as delicious. If you are coming from out of town, please consider booking transportation for your guests and maybe renting a service or car to visit the venue. During the summer, taxis were limited in the Bellagio area and some Ubers were unwilling to make the drive as it is up in the mountain. I would do it all again every time. I highly recommend!
