The Passanante Family brought its many years of event expertise and worked with event professionals, including event and wedding planners, photographers, hair and makeup artists, and other event experts, to make sure that Bonita Ranch had all the amenities that a bride and a groom could ever want for their special day.
When you come into Bonita Ranch the first thing you will notice is the privacy it has to offer, and as you drive in you will be enchanted by its magnificent shaded entrance of oak trees decorated by nature with Spanish moss and surrounded by Bonita Ranch’s enchanted forest. Get ready to be wowed by the romantic view of the Mediterranean Villa styled architecture and the courtyards where you can host your ceremony. With so many photo opportunities, we are sure you will have plenty of memories for years to come.
The nursery’s pavilion becomes an event hall that converts from an indoor to an outdoor event venue with the click of a button. The pavilion can be fully airconditioned or heated with the rental of our commercial portable air conditioner. Additionally, your guests won’t have to walk away to go to the bathroom, they are conveniently located under the same roof of the pavilion.
A large staircase will lead you to our bridal suite which offers a beautiful set up for the bride and her bridesmaids. Why choose between having a master suite in a hotel or getting ready room in a barn when you can have both at Bonita Ranch. With three make up stations and a full bathroom with double sink and make up lights, each of you will have space to get ready for the event and take all the getting ready pictures you have dreamt of. Once you are ready our gigantic bridal mirror will let you know that you are the most beautiful girl in town.
Just behind the bridal suite you can step out onto ‘La Terrazza dell'Alba’, our beautiful balcony and bridge that connects to the main house and becomes the perfect backdrop for the most stunning pictures and one of the options for your first look photo session.
By the way, the groom and his best man will be getting ready on the first floor in the groom's "man cave", which has its own 65 inch screen to watch games, a bar to have a drink after the ceremony and is also connected to the backyard where they can throw the ball to relax a little before the I Do’s.
