Fall wedding

Wedding day turned out great! We got a lot included into our package. Our guests all complimented how cool our venue was. Great overall. The only thing I would mention time was a little slow.

Super flexible, just a little unorganized

We loved Bonanzaville because they had no catering restrictions and were really flexible with set-up times. We also loved the fact that our guests could explore the village for free before the reception started. Although the Event Center can hypothetically seat 350 people, it was pretty full when we had 230 people at tables and we were glad we didn't have more guests. The staff members are very nice, but communication was often delayed and we had to follow up frequently. I would also recommend hiring (or asking a reliable friend to serve) as a reception coordinator, as the Bonanzaville event coordinator is more focused on the facility logistics than the event itself. The price was affordable considering the space, time, and access to the entire village. If you want a lot of freedom, this is a great place to have your wedding.

With all the unique and historical pieces in Bonanzaville this made it such a fun place for a wedding. Also, I was able to have the wedding in the gazebo and the reception in the hall so we didn't have to do any running around to different venues.
Brenda with Bonanzaville was very helpful and so nice. There was a bit of disorganization, but there was a change in staff from the time I booked the venue to when I actually started the planning and organization process and I think that is where that came from. All in all a great experience. Great staff, worked with me on decorating early and cleaning up the day after, and such a beautiful place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
