Bella Cavalli Events

What Bella Cavalli Events does

Bella Cavalli Events operates a single 130-acre private event venue in Aubrey, Texas — roughly 45 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex — anchored by the Carriage House, a 4,000 sq ft climate-controlled building completed in May 2020 with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a Sonos sound system, an AirPlay-enabled projector, a grand staircase, chandeliers, bridal and groom suites, and a full caterer's prep kitchen. The property is differentiated by unusual attractions not typically found at competing venues: two Royal Friesian horses (Aandrik and Zobe) that appeared in the 2012 film Hunger Games: Catching Fire and are available for carriage rides, plus a menagerie including alpacas (Tango and Mango), Queen Sheba the Cocktail Camel, and Beer Burros (miniature donkeys Hot Tamale, Sopapilla, and Chilli Bean). Five distinct ceremony/reception sites — Ceremony Circle, Bella Woods, Bistro Garden, Lakeside, and Sunset Patio — along with 40+ acres of woodland trails give the venue a multi-configurable footprint. Indoor capacity is capped at 200 guests, and the venue enforces an exclusive one-wedding-per-day policy.

The core product is a single inclusive Wedding Package covering private venue rental from 8 AM to midnight, ceremony and reception sites, tables and chairs, dressing suites, prep kitchen access, and engagement/bridal photo sessions. Add-on modules include the 950 sq ft Coach House honeymoon suite (king bed, full kitchen, fireplace, complimentary champagne and continental breakfast), animal encounters, horse-drawn carriage rides, and additional hours billed at $1,000/hr. Pricing is quote-based and seasonal: Peak Season (April, May, September, October) runs $5,000-$10,500; Shoulder Season (March, June, November, December) $5,000-$9,500; Off Season (January, February, July, August) $5,000-$6,500. Discounts of $200 are offered to Military, First Responders, Nurses, and Teachers, plus $250 for cash pay-in-full; no tax or gratuity is added on rental. Vendor flexibility is broad except for required use of Elite Security and Liquid Love bartending.

Go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer and marketplace model. Couples book tours directly via phone (940-257-6382), email, or a website tour-booking CTA, while the venue maintains listings on WeddingWire (Couples' Choice Award Winner 2022 and 2023) and The Knot (Best of Weddings 2022 and 2023) for mid-funnel discovery. Primary customers are wedding couples in the DFW area; secondary segments are corporate event planners (team building, Christmas parties, seminars) and social event hosts (quinceaneras, family reunions, religious events). The company is privately held by owner-operator Joni Kuhn with a five-person team including a Director of Marketing and Wedding Consultant (Lainey Brooks) and a Wedding Consultant (Lex Houser). No outside investors, parent company, or subsidiary relationships have been disclosed.
