Florida is one of the top wedding destinations in the U.S., and it’s easy to see why — year-round sunshine, palm-framed skies, and coastal breezes create a naturally romantic setting.
But if you’re wondering when to get married in Florida, especially around Central Florida or Brevard County, timing makes all the difference.
At Bonita Ranch, couples travel from near and far to celebrate in our Mediterranean-inspired villa surrounded by gardens, water views, and lush greenery from our own plant nursery. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect season — and what makes Bonita Ranch a dream location no matter when you say “I do.”
While Florida’s warm weather means weddings can happen year-round, the most popular months for outdoor celebrations are November through April.
If you’re considering a summer wedding, we’ve got you covered too.
At Bonita Ranch, the warmer months are ideal for elopements and minimonies — intimate, shorter celebrations that let you enjoy the beauty of the season while keeping everyone comfortable. Many couples choose romantic early morning or sunset ceremonies, surrounded by tropical greenery and soft summer light, creating a relaxed and unforgettable experience.
One of the most refreshing parts of planning your wedding at Bonita Ranch is knowing that the price you see is the final price.
Because we operate as both a wedding venue and a working plant nursery, Bonita Ranch functions under the agritourism classification in Florida — which means we don’t charge sales tax on venue rentals.
That means:
The only surprise is how beautiful your day looks surrounded by the living decorations from our nursery — greenery and florals that make your garden wedding truly one of a kind.
Every package includes naturally styled décor options curated from our nursery inventory, blending sustainability and Mediterranean elegance in one breathtaking setting.
