Named for the French phrase “good and beautiful,” Bonne et Belle (pronounced bunn-ee-bell), is a nature retreat and private event venue in Gainesville, Florida.

Our venue is 11 acres of woodlands, fields, and cypress swamps with a Victorian farmhouse at its center. The farm is part of a 300-acre cattle ranch that has been in the family for four generations.

A FULL SERVICE VENUE
Bonne et Belle is a full-service, boutique venue. Whatever your needs and vision, we are here to serve and support you and to make your event as stress-free as possible.

We work with you during planning to create the perfect floor plan, and we set it up for you on event day.

EVENT STAFF
As guests arrive, our parking attendants will greet and direct them per your wishes.

During your event, our staff is on site making sure vendors are supported, facilities stay clean, the fire pit is tended, you and your guests are taken care of, and everything runs smoothly.

When the event ends, we help you gather your personal items and we take care of breakdown and clean-up.

We are your partner every step of the way to ensure your special moment is good and beautiful.

GETTING READY IN STYLE
Bonne et Belle offers two ready rooms for our couples. Our Carriage House Suite and our Loft Suite both have picture windows with stunning views of the garden and ponds.

Both suites are stylishly furnished with plenty of room for relaxing and prepping with your wedding party.

The Carriage House Suite is equipped with two salon-style vanities and both suites feature oversized, full-length mirrors and a bathroom.

The Loft Suite also features a second-story deck with sweeping views of Bonne et Belle and the White Barn.

Both suites allow couples to sneak a bird's-eye-view of our pond ceremony site and of their guests as they arrive for the big day!
