WEATHER

We want everyone to have an enjoyable beach bonfire and the best possible experience with us. Due to the nature of outdoor events, we cannot refund based on weather conditions. If weather isn’t permitting, we will gladly move your reservation to another day with a $105 new permit fee plus any additional permitting fees that may apply. Requesting to move the beach bonfire must be done 1 business day before the originally scheduled bonfire and is subject to availability. Should you decide to cancel, a refund minus the deposit will only be given if canceled 2 business days in advance of your bonfire. If you want to move your bonfire to a later or earlier time to adjust for rain, we are happy to accommodate if done before noon. Please contact us with any questions or concerns. We are happy to help and be as flexible as we can.

TURTLE NESTS

Turtle nests may pop up during the nesting season, May – October. Should a turtle nest block your beach bonfire use, we will move your beach bonfire to the next available beach access with a $105 temporary beach bonfire permit fee and any additional permitting fees that may apply. Moving due to turtle nests does not grant a refund.

​

CANCELATIONS

Should you have to cancel your beach bonfire reservation, please let us know 2 business days prior to your beach bonfire reservation by calling our office (786) 478-9336 or emailing info@mommabearbeachbonfires.com. All bonfires are paid in advance. Should you decide to cancel, a refund minus the deposit will only be given if canceled 2 business days in advance of your bonfire. Refunds are not granted on the same day as your bonfire.

COUNTY WIDE FIRE BAN

DUE TO SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS, THE COUNTY MAY PLACE A COUNTY WIDE FIRE BAN ANY TIME OF THE YEAR DEEMED NECESSARY WHICH WILL PROHIBIT BONFIRES ON THE BEACH AND FROM OBTAINING BONFIRE PERMITS IN THE FUTURE. IN THIS CASE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ALLOW REFUNDS FOR BONFIRES AND/OR OBTAIN PERMITS FOR FUTURE BONFIRES UNTIL THE FIRE BAN IS RELEASED FROM WALTON COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT. IF THE FIRE BAN IS NOT LIFTED BY THE TIME OF YOUR EVENT, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR EVENT WITHOUT THE FIRE. WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, LIVE GUITARIST, GAMES, AND MORE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR EVENT. YOU WILL  RECEIVE A CREDIT FOR A FUTURE BONFIRE THAT IS TRANSFERRABLE AS WELL. THIS IS A RARE OCCASION THAT TAKES PLACE, BUT IS STILL A POSSIBILITY DEPENDING ON UNCONTROLLABLE WEATHER CIRCUMSTANCES.
