A bonfire isn't an afterthought at a Hocking Hills event — it's the Friday-night icebreaker, the post-ceremony gathering point, and the corporate-retreat conversation that produces the actual teamwork. Event-scale fires need event-scale wood. Here's the guide.
How much wood for an event bonfire
| Event type | Fire duration | What to order |
|---|---|---|
| Rehearsal dinner bonfire (20–40 guests) | 3–4 hours | 1 tote ($35) |
| Wedding weekend (Fri + Sat bonfires) | 6–8 hours total | 2–3 totes ($60–$75) |
| Corporate retreat (3-night stay) | 9–12 hours total | 3 totes ($75) |
| Family reunion weekend | Multiple fires across sites | 3+ totes — text us to plan |
Delivery to event venues
We deliver to event venues across the region, not just cabins. Tell us the venue name, the delivery date, and where you want it stacked — we coordinate with the venue staff to make sure it's ready when your event starts. For multi-day events, we can stagger deliveries.
The event bonfire as a planning tool
- Friday arrival bonfire: the icebreaker. Guests arrive at staggered times; the fire is already going. No formal welcome needed — the fire does it. S'mores for kids, drinks for adults, and the weekend starts itself.
- Post-ceremony fire: after the reception winds down, the core group gathers at the pit. These are the conversations the couple remembers.
- Corporate retreat fire: the after-dinner bonfire is where the real team-building happens. No agenda, no slides, no facilitator — just fire, conversation, and the kind of connection that conference rooms can't produce.
Coordinate with the venue
Most venues have designated fire pit areas with specific rules: pit location, hours, supervision requirements. Confirm the venue's fire policy before ordering, and let us know the venue's preferences for delivery location and timing. Venues with event coordinators (The Haven, Crockett's Run, The Seventy Five) can handle the logistics directly.
