Welcome to Bonita Ranch, a breathtaking wedding and event venue nestled in the heart of Melbourne, Florida, in beautiful Brevard County. With its unique Mediterranean style, Bonita Ranch offers an enchanting atmosphere that transports you and your guests to the sun-soaked landscapes of Italy and Spain. Our goal is to provide an unforgettable experience for every couple and event planner seeking a stunning backdrop for their special moments.
A Unique Venue with a Sustainable Heart
Before becoming a premier event venue, Bonita Ranch thrived as a plant nursery for four years. Our commitment to sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We seamlessly integrate the lush greenery from our nursery into every aspect of your event. Picture saying “I do” under a beautifully adorned arch, decorated with our vibrant plants, or hosting a cocktail hour where our flora serves as stunning centerpieces. Our reception tablescapes are designed with natural greenery, creating a harmonious blend of elegance and nature.
Our nursery is not just a feature; it’s an integral part of the Bonita Ranch experience. Our parking lot showcases majestic royal palm trees that serve as a natural divider, enhancing the venue’s aesthetic while maintaining a clean and inviting environment.

Bonita Ranch is a family-owned venue, and our dedication to providing exceptional service is reflected in our operations. Managed by Yenny Passanante, who boasts over 20 years of experience in the marketing and event industry, Bonita Ranch is more than just a venue; it’s a family legacy. Yenny’s expertise, combined with the family’s commitment to excellence, ensures that we maintain low operating costs while providing a luxurious experience for our clients.
