It is always good to know that a wedding insurance like the one offered by Wedsure includes wedding cancellation (including postponing) “protecting nonrefundable expenses incurred when the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding or private event, or reception must be canceled or postponed for certain reasons beyond your control”. Please talk to them to understand their conditions, we don’t have any kind of affiliation with them.
Yes, we offer a flexible payment plan. There is an initial non-refundable deposit of 30%, and the remaining balance can be divided into three or more payments, depending on the payment plan you choose from the options we provide. If you prefer, you’re also welcome to pay in full.
To make things easier for you, we offer the option of paying through our client portal using credit cards and wire transfers. If you opt to pay via check or cash, you’ll receive a 3% discount which is reflected in the packages we present to you.
The hold will start once payments have cleared the bank.
While payments are non-refundable, we require wedding insurance through WeSure, and we strongly recommend adding the cancellation policy option. For an additional cost of around $100 on top of the regular wedding insurance, this policy can protect your investment in case of certain cancellation reasons, depending on the specific policy you choose. This added protection not only safeguards your investment with our venue but also covers other vendors you may have booked to make your wedding or event day memorable.
Our rental fee varies based on the date, time, and specific requirements of your event. It typically includes access to the venue, tables, table numbers, table greenery (from nursery to table), chairs, and basic setup. Please visit our packages page or contact us for a personalized quote.
At Bonita Ranch, we partner exclusively with a select group of approved vendors to ensure you have a variety of top-quality choices. Each vendor has been carefully curated, trained, and tested in our venue’s unique setting, so they understand our standards and deliver the best possible experience for your event. We have at least three vendors in each category, all of whom are licensed and insured, with Bonita Ranch and its owners added as additional insured for added peace of mind.
For catering, we accept only full-service providers to maintain the highest quality. If you’re considering a food drop-off option, we can accommodate this if approved and accompanied by professional waitstaff and cleaners, ensuring a seamless and elevated experience.
To support a flawless event, we highly recommend hiring a professional wedding planner. However, at minimum, a day-of coordinator from our approved list is required to help manage the day smoothly.
For music, only DJs from our approved vendor list are allowed, as they’ve met our specific standards to create a perfect atmosphere.
These policies are designed to maintain exceptional service standards and make your event at Bonita Ranch truly extraordinary!

No, we do not charge any commission or accept payments from our vendors for several reasons.
First, we believe that vendors deserve to be well compensated for their hard work. While we provide them a space to perform their services, our primary requirement is that they offer the best possible experience to our customers.
Second, we want to maintain high-quality standards and choose vendors based on their excellence, not financial contributions. Our vendors understand that our priority is quality, and when they emphasize additional services, we encourage them to offer upgrades to our customers, showcasing the benefits of hosting their weddings, events, and celebrations at Bonita Ranch.
