When it comes to wedding styles, there’s something effortlessly cool about a California-style wedding right here in Brevard County Florida. At Bonita Ranch, we’re excited to offer this unique option that combines the beauty of our gardens with a relaxed ceremony setup that’s as seamless as it is stylish.
The California-Style Wedding Defined
So, what exactly is a California-style wedding? Picture this: instead of your guests moving from one area to another between the ceremony and reception, they get to enjoy everything from the comfort of their seats. That’s right—your guests will view the ceremony right from their beautifully decorated tables! This setup eliminates the need for any location changes, making the transition from “I do” to dinner as smooth as a beautiful California day.
We’ll set up two or three rows of chairs at the front for immediate family, ensuring they have a perfect view of your vows. Meanwhile, your other guests can relax at their tables, soaking in every moment of your ceremony. One of the biggest benefits of this arrangement is that your guests will feel like they’re in celebration mode from the very beginning, making your special day feel even longer and more enjoyable.
Flexibility Meets Florida’s Unpredictable Weather
At Bonita Ranch, we’re all about beautiful garden ceremonies, but we also know that Florida’s weather can be a little unpredictable. The beauty of a California-style wedding is that it’s flexible enough to adapt to whatever the weather throws your way.
Even if it’s a gorgeous sunny day, you can keep the ceremony inside and use the gardens for after ceremony pictures and a cocktail hour that lets your guests enjoy the lush surroundings. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, you’ve already got the perfect setup indoors with your California-style seating. No need to stress about last-minute changes—everything is ready to go, rain or shine.
One of the greatest benefits you get at Bonita Ranch is that we are the only event venue in Brevard County with shades that can be raised or lowered in less than a minute. So, whether you’re inside or outside, you can still capture the essence of a garden wedding. Nothing can ruin your dream of a garden wedding at Bonita Ranch, especially when our nursery plants add to that beautiful atmosphere.
