La Esposita Bonita was born from a love story.
Nestled on 70 breathtaking acres in Varysburg, New York, this timeless wedding estate was created by Keith and Dania Wahl. Keith named the venue La Esposita Bonita—Spanish for “The Beautiful Wife”—as a tribute to Dania, who stood at the center of everything he did. Their marriage, partnership, and devotion to one another shaped not only their lives, but the spirit of this remarkable place.
For over 20 years, Keith and Dania lovingly cultivated the estate into a space where couples could celebrate their own love stories, surrounded by natural beauty, intention, and care. As both faced their own courageous battles with cancer, they made the incredibly difficult decision to pass the estate into new hands. Knowing it was time, but determined that La Esposita Bonita would continue only with people who shared their heart and values.
