From the time we inquired about The Villa Franca to the time we said I do, it was the most perfect experience! When my husband and I met Carla and Randy the first time we felt like family. They offered us as much assistance with our wedding as we needed and covered all the details we forgot, making our special day magical and stress free! There were so many incredible sceneries for pictures! It’s such a beautiful place for an event someone might have in mind, large wedding, micro wedding, baby shower, etc. We would recommend The Villa Franca to anyone looking for a venue. Thank you so much Carla and Randy!
This venue is gorgeous, and the owners have done a tremendous job ensuring their clients are well cared for.
The Villa Franca was the PERFECT venue for our wedding day. Not only was it absolutely stunning, but the owners, Randy and Carla, went above and beyond to make our day seamless and the planning process straightforward and alleviate any concerns we had with our short engagement timeline. Their attention to detail - from babbling little fountains, to the covered bridge, the fire pit, the amazing, fresh scent when you walk in the house, the magical landscaping, and historic charm make the venue a delight to the senses. This careful notice carried forward into how our event played out and they helped communicate and catch things so that the day went smoothly and was pleasant for us and our guests. No fear about the mostly outdoor venue, it comes with a lovely tent for the reception that corresponds to the size of your guest list. The Villa Franca is the loveliest backdrop for an outdoor event, and again, we could not have asked for a better team to work with to pull off such a beautiful, fun wedding!
