Josette and Dylan

Josette and Dylan chose the beautiful Bella Cosa in Lake Wales, FL as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception earlier this year.. 

Bella Cosa was originally known as Lake Pierce Club and was built in 1925. It was visited by famous people from actors and actresses to the President of the United States.  It continued to be a hotel under several names and owners until 2016, when it again was purchased and underwent extensive renovations of the property restoring its natural beauty, including restoring the oak flooring and stripping back the walls to their original state.  The building changed hands again and was renamed Bella Cosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue. It has been used as an exclusive-use wedding venue ever since and is now known simply by the name Bella Cosa.

Josette looked stunning in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her father, to join Dylan in front of their wedding arch.  The couples’ custom designed wedding ceremony included a Thank You to the Parents, Scripture Readings from the book of Genesis, Ruth and 1 Corinthians 13, The Lord’s Prayer, and The Blessing of the Hands.  Then, as their family and friends looked on, and with an amazing view of Lake Pierce as their backdrop, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore, a Lake Wales Wedding Officiant with Sensational Ceremonies. 

Ceremony music and sound was provided by Noise Productions and Event Coordination by Taylor Genevieve Events.   

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Dylan and Josette Poirier!
