We have some recommendations for caterers, musicians, and bartenders, but we do not require the use of an exclusive list for any of these services. We will gladly collaborate with the vendor of your choice. Bella Vita requires that all ceremonies and large celebrations be covered by liability insurance for the entire day of the event. We offer wedding packages starting at $3500 for MicroWeddings and $5000 for weddings with more than 50 attendees. All of this includes the use of 12 round tables and 100 white chairs, as well as a dress rehearsal the day before the event. Wedding rehearsal dinners on the farm are a wonderful way to kick off the wedding festivities. Consider it a pre-party to the Big Day, held in a more intimate setting with your bridal party, close friends, and family members before the big day. In order to create a memorable ambiance, inquire about the secret garden or the undercroft. Instead of a formal rehearsal dinner, you might prefer to have a friendly game of bocce ball or axe throwing as a pre-wedding activity. The cost of a space starts at $500, which includes tables, chairs, and basic white tablecloths. This venue is also available for your rehearsal dinner if your wedding is not taking place at Bella Vita.) Trying to come up with a unique venue for your next company or family get-together?

Chef José Andrés created Mercado Little Spain, a 35,000-square-foot food hall dedicated to Spanish cuisine and culture, in New York City in 2019. The Spanish Diner is one of Little Spain's three pillar restaurants, and it has swiftly become one of the city's most popular dining destinations. José and his crew made the decision to open this interesting restaurant in Bethesda, where José and his family live. The cuisine at Spanish Diner is truly Spanish, but you'll be hard-pressed to locate these meals in any Spanish restaurant because they're family recipes passed down from generation to generation around the kitchen table.
