La Bella Casa

Built in 1912 by civic leader Harry Wilcoxson, La Bella Casa is an 8,420-square-foot three-story manor in Carrollton, Missouri that has been restored as a full-service event center. The Wilcoxson family were among the town's earliest settlers, and the manor they built became known for lavish gatherings set against beautiful gardens — a tradition the restored estate continues today. The manor's soaring ceilings, grand entrance, luxury study, and formal dining room establish a setting steeped in local history. The first floor features two full bars, and the third-floor recreation room adds an additional bar and dance floor, giving events room to move through different moods over the course of an evening. Beautifully maintained outdoor grounds extend the options for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and alfresco receptions. La Bella Casa accommodates weddings, banquets, corporate gatherings, holiday parties, class reunions, Murder Mystery Dinners, and private events. The manor houses up to 29 overnight guests, with the Cottage and Villa nearby providing additional lodging for out-of-town visitors.
