Event Policies & General Information
We would first like to start this document with a statement of why it exists. The policies below were created because we have had issues with previous clients doing things that caused a rule to be written. While some policies may seem harsh, or ridiculous, they had to be written because someone did not use common sense. Keep in mind we want you to have fun, that is our main goal. We also want you to be safe, and we want the next client to have the same amazing experience that you will have. Please also keep in mind that this is a small family business and this is how we feed out kids and keep a roof over our heads. We are trusting you with a lot and we ask that you would treat our venue with the same respect that you would treat a friend’s house if you were staying there.
The bride & groom, or renter 1 & renter 2 (also referred to as renters, client, or clients) are to read and abide by Bellissima Ranch and Resort (hence forth Bellissima or Bellissima Ranch) event policies & general information & inform the guests & vendors of the policies, per signed agreement.

- Rescheduling, Refunds, Cancelations & Late Bookings
We would like to preface this section by stating the following. You signed a contract, that says that you agreed to read these policies. If you did not read this before signing your agreement, you have no one to blame but yourself and have no reason to get mad at us. Also keep in mind that when you book a date, you have eliminated the ability for us to sell that date to another person. Think of us selling a date like an auto dealership sells a car, we can’t sell it twice. The closer we get to a date the lower the likelihood that we will be able to resell it to a new client. While these policies may seem harsh, you must keep in mind that we are a small family-owned business and we have to feed our kids and keep a roof over our heads. With every cancelation, we lose money. How would you feel if your boss told you that he wasn’t going to pay you as much this week, and gave you no notice? Even if an event is fully paid off, we lose out on bar sales. Many people that want to cancel get upset with us because they feel like they got nothing for the money they will lose but again think of it like buying a car. If you take it off the lot, you lost money. If you try to return it even a month later, it will be worth a lot less than it was when you bought it. We also have our time to consider, we put a lot of time into your wedding behind the scenes with booking vendors and correcting situations that you may not even know existed. We also have vendor fees to pay. So just because you didn’t see what we did for you does not mean you didn’t get anything. You got a lot of our time. We have done a lot for you and we paid our staff and vendor to do a lot for you and that deserves compensation. Please keep these ideals in mind when reading these policies and again remember you agreed that you would read this when you signed the contract.
-
Bellissima Ranch does not offer wedding or event insurance but it is highly recommended that you purchase this as, unforeseen circumstances can happen and roughly 10-15% of all weddings get rescheduled or get canceled. Wedding insurance is fairly inexpensive when you consider the cost that you may have to pay for a cancelation. We do not endorse any specific company but we are happy to recommend a company if you need help finding one.
-
In the event that unforeseen circumstances happen and Bellissima is forced to reschedule or cancel your event a refund will only be issued to the person who made the reservation & paid the original fee. Bellissima is not responsible for any other reparations due to a cancelation. This may include but is not limited to cost of vendors, invitation, flowers, travel, hotels, catering, DJ, decorations, lighting, preprinted material, etc… The choice to reschedule or cancel the event is at the sole discretion of Bellissima Ranch. Refunds will not be issued for rescheduled events.
-
Once a package or date is booked, it may not be downgraded in any way, including but not limited to removal or services or number of days purchased. You may upgrade a package to a higher level but in the event of a price change you will be subject to the current price, at the time of the upgrade, not the original booking date.
-
Events may not be rescheduled without express written consent of Bellissima Ranch. Bellissima Ranch typically does not allow events to be rescheduled. Rescheduling is looked at on a case-by-case basis and is up to the sole discretion of Bellissima Ranch personnel. (Changing dates is exceptionally rare. Expect us to say no)
-
In the event that Bellissima Ranch does allow a date change, the new date must be within one year of the original booked date and is subject to availability. The new date must also be approved by Bellissima Ranch personnel. The renter must also continue to make their regular payments and Bellissima Ranch may require additional documentation in order to allow for a change. If Bellissima Ranch allows an event to be rescheduled, we reserve the right to limit the dates available to the client. Even if certain dates are available, we may not make them available for you to use.
-
Rescheduling due to covid or other pandemic: Unlike other industries, the government has not made any reparations or put any programs in place to help businesses in the events industry. No industry took a bigger loss than event providers. While our policy may seem strict, it is necessary to continue to navigate this pandemic and those that may arise in the future. No cost pandemic reschedules will only be considered if the bride and/or groom are the person(s) affected. No cost reschedules will not be considered for parents, grandparents, siblings, children, friends, bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc… If you feel that you will need to move an event due to the pandemic. Bellissima will require that documentation be provided and we will confer with the current guidelines as recommended by state and federal officials before making a decision. If we choose to move your event due to the pandemic, you will be assigned a new event date. If you have a Sat wedding, we will do our best to keep you on a weekend but cannot guarantee that you will get another Sat date. We also do not guarantee that your event will be in any particular season. IE if you have a fall wedding your new date may not be in the fall. If you want to move your event due to a person attending that is affected by the pandemic that is not the bride or groom, Bellissima Ranch will consider the request but will require the same documentation and reserves the right to charge a change of date fee of up to 25% of a standard booking for the day or days assigned. As per our standard rescheduling policies we do not guarantee and rescheduling. It is at our sole discretion.
-
Cancelations must be in written format from either the bride or groom (renter 1 or renter 2). Cancelations are not accepted from outside wedding coordinators, parents, friends, etc. In the event of a cancelation, money paid will not be refunded, this includes the security deposit. Upon signing the contract, the renters agree that they will pay for at least 50% of their event plus their security deposit. If an event is canceled and less than 50% of the sum total of the event invoices plus the security deposit have been paid the renter must pay the remaining balance within 7 days. If a cancelation is given by the renters with less than one month before an invoice is due beyond the 50%, the renters will be responsible for making that payment as well. If, at the point of cancelation, we are within 9 months of your event date, the full price of your event will be due including the bar minimum. Failure to pay will result in litigation.
-
Bellissima does not permit guests to sell their event spot. The event contract is valid only for the couple listed.
-
The type of event being held at Bellissima Ranch cannot be changed without the express written consent of Bellissima Ranch. IE, if a wedding is called off, you may not decide to use the venue for a party of another sort.
-
If items or services sold to a client outside of their package are canceled or removed. Bellissima Ranch charges a 20% cancelation fee for that service plus any cancelation fees charged by the vendor that sells that item or service. When booking vendors through us all of the policies of the vendors that we use will be in effect when it comes to cancelation, changes in services, or tangible items purchased.
-
In the event of a power outage, we will make every attempt to restore power, however as a power outage may be prolonged. We will not give refunds in the event of a temporary outage. If a prolonged outage is expected the renters may choose to rebook based on the rescheduling information above.
-
It is always best to book services as soon as possible as many vendors can book out. If you book vendors through us, keep in mind that after 30 days before an event, we cannot guarantee that we can make any changes to your event. Some things are easy to change, some things are not. We will do our very best to do any add-ons that we can but keep in mind that after these time periods, there is a very good chance that we will say no, we cannot do it.
-
If you do make a change after the 30-day marker, payments must be made via credit card and are due within 24 hours. So, anything bought will be subject to convenience fees.
-
Prices begin to increase with many of our services after the 30 days before an event marker. It is in your best interests to make changes with us before the 30-day marker.

At 10 days before your event, we have reached the cut off and absolutely no changes can be made after this point.

Some reasons for cancellation may include but are not limited to inability to make contact with the client, threat of harm to property or persons, dishonesty, falsification of documents or forgery, libel, slander, disparagement, or defamation of character towards any employees or the business itself.
-
Bellissima Ranch may also seek financial compensation in the event that a client commits slander or liable against Bellissima Ranch, or any parties associated with Bellissima Ranch. This policy covers social media, verbal, Google, or any other platform. (The long and short of this policy is that if you break a policy don’t try to hurt us for your negligence. On this same note, if your friends and family start speaking about us in a negative light because of your negligence, you have violated this policy by speaking to them about us.)

- Definitions
As part of your package you may have received some of the following services. Here are the definitions of those services so that you will know what you purchased.
-
Liaison or Attendant- Building operator, helps with venue. IE bar back, polices trash, runs projector, etc. (Does not help with wedding itself)
-
Sapphire Coordinator- Rehearsal & day of wedding coordination. Up to four (10 min.) scheduled calls but may be less or none depending on client situation. (No access other than scheduled calls)
-
Diamond Coordinator- Rehearsal & day of wedding coordination. Monthly phone calls with either the coordinator or GM starting 12 months in advance, 2 private on-site planning sessions with GM, access to staff member through phone, text, or email any time you need them. (24-48 response time)
-
All Coordinators and Attendants- Regardless of the type of coordinator or attendant you purchased through Bellissima, you can expect them to be at your rehearsal for a period of 1 hour (please make sure your wedding party is on time as this cannot be extended) You can also expect your coordinator to show up 1 hour before your event starts and stay until the bar closes (about 6 hours). The 6 timeframe may be subject to change (IE it may be shorter) if a bar is scheduled outside our normal operating window or if an event wraps up early.
-
Additionally you may not have the same coordinator call you throughout the process. Keep in mind that the wedding industry has a high turn over rate. Many people love it at first but have a hard time sacrificing nights and weekends. If your coordinator changes, there is no need to fret. We have been doing this for a long time and we keep detailed notes on every client to keep transitions very easy. I always say, if you are not concerned about a new nurse taking over at shift change, then you have no need to worry about a coordinator change.

2. Wedding Coordinators and Outside Coordinators
-
We employ wedding coordinators and can provide one for an additional fee. If purchased they will be present for your rehearsal & ceremony. The duties of the wedding coordinator include: presence at the rehearsal & ceremony, ensuring access to venue & dressing areas, serving as a liaison between Bellissima & the guests by providing information, upholding the rules & regulations of the venue, & assisting with logistics of the service as appropriate & requested.
-
The wedding coordinator does not plan or assist with tasks such as flowers, attire, deliveries, photography, and videography, set up, or tear down. Bellissima assumes no responsibility for gowns, tuxedos, flowers, or any items delivered to the venue. Wedding coordinator is not liable for damages to any items owed or rented by the renters.
-
We love outside coordinators but we have seen many events that were poorly executed when clients use outside coordinators and often, times these so-called coordinators, tend to point the finger at us when they simply do not know how to coordinate a wedding properly. Also, in many cases we have seen that they do not communicate with us pre-wedding and do not know what was purchased in your package and will complain about the work, that they are now responsible for, to your wedding guests. If you choose to purchase an outside coordinator and your package came with a Bellissima Ranch Coordinator. Our coordinator will assist the person you hired but ultimately, we assume that you want your hired coordinator to run the event unless otherwise stated to us in writing. The client agrees that they will not hold Bellissima Ranch responsible if they feel they had a poorly executed event if they choose not to purchase a professional Bellissima Ranch Coordinator or if they hired an outside coordinator and they fail to execute the event to your expectation. Furthermore, if the client chose not to purchase a Coordinator the client agrees to inform their wedding party, family, and guests of the role in which the Liaison will play so that they will not expect additional services that were not purchased due to lack of information.
