Lara Voglewede4 months agoWe had such a wonderful baby shower at The Bellflower! It was such a beautiful setting for a group of 35-40 people. The kitchen is fully equipped and perfect for prepping/serving food. Barbara was so kind and helpful when we met before the event and responded quickly to my questions. Table linens were included as well as many decorative items and dishes. The location is so convenient as well! I would highly recommend this venue for a smaller event.
Amanda Standish8 months agoThe Bellflower and Barb are just top tier! Our wedding couldnt get much easier without the amount of creativity you have with the available resources, the ease of access, the nostalgia of the building, the landscaping around the building, and so much more! All the little touches Barb has put throughout the building made it even better! I definitely recommend this for small gatherings!
Angie Farrell5 months agoThe Bellflower was the perfect venue for our book signing event! It was a cute, cozy, country atmosphere and accommodated our guests very well. I highly recommend this venue as Barb is wonderful to work with and met all of our needs. Thank you Barb!
Kristen Ellis4 months agoWe had my daughter's first birthday here and it was perfect! The manager sets up the tables and chairs for you which makes setup/cleanup easier. Also, there is dishes, decor, an arch, furniture, and a beautiful kitchen available for you to use. 100% recommend for a birthday party, shower, or other intimate events!
Brianna Lindsey-Cooper7 months agoAlways a wonderful experience renting the Bellflower! We rented the space 3 years ago for my bridal shower and again this weekend for my baby shower. The owner is so easy to work with and they provide so many different decorations and glassware to make the day perfect!
