Featured Vendor: Villa Rinata

Sharon Anderson, general manager
Villa Rinata

If wedding experience is important to you, then Sharon Anderson is your gal, Houston bride. The general manager of Houston's magnificent Villa Rinata has been in the wedding business for more than 25 years, and has had a hand, by her count, in "thousands of weddings."

With a passion for weddings like Anderson's, it's no surprise the catering expert jumped on the chance to take over (not to mention beautifully renovate, and restore to integrity and financial stability) the former Bella Terraza.

Anderson says the venue's finest features are its Mediterranean grandeur and beautiful neutral palette: "Cream walls, mahogany wood throughout, you're not competing with crazy carpets or draperies-any flower, any lighting, any element of color you bring looks really beautiful in here." Of course, there's also sumptuous food, courtesy City View Catering, Villa Rinata's parent company and in-house catering service.

All this, and personalized service from a former Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis catering manager who says of weddings, "I love being part of the union of families-it makes me feel wonderful." What more could a bride want?
