More and more we are seeing brides add creative touches to their special events at Villa Siena. Recently, a couple planned an elegant (yes candy can be elegant!) display of black, white and red sweets. Guest were able to fill decorative gift bags with candies to enjoy durring and after the celebration. As a guest favor, candy is always a hit and most certainly doesn’t sit on the shelf collecting dust. Enjoy the images in this slide show, provided courtesy of O Grace Photography.

“Perfect isn’t a strong enough word to describe Villa Siena! You made the entire process so easy and stress free. A guest said to me “It was as if they were all transported to Tuscany for the evening.” Thank you all so much! ~ Lori & Jon
“Thank you so much for all your help and input on Lori’s wedding. As mother of the bride, I was really feeling stressed but you helped me to feel that everything was under control at all times. Villa Siena was beautiful – all our guests commented on how lovely it was. Everything went off without a hitch. We were very pleased. The food and service (provided by Villa Siena’s in-house caterer) were excellent. All of your staff were great. Thank you so much for helping to make this event so full of beautiful memories. ~ Judi Friedman (Mother of the Bride)
Phone message: “First I want to say it was absoultly fantastic. Everybody raved about your place. All of my concerns about distance and such were totally unfounded. The place was always magnificent. Jennie Dorset, the bartender that was very, very wonderful that evening and also Rhonda Passel was absolutly wonderful also. I just wanted to let you know and for you to tell them how much we appreciated them that night. Thank you! ~ Howard Friedman (Father of the Bride)
