Start with the setting. You’ll spend two nights' lodging in one of The Wine Country Inn's three luxurious Vineyard Cottages located within a champagne cork's flight of the vines. The Wine Country Inn, the first Bed and Breakfast Inn in the Napa Valley, has the best elopement setting.
In addition, you may select from many options to enhance your wine country elopement. Our traditional elopement package is designed for the couple and up to 10 guests. We also have other beautiful locations which can handle up to 100 wedding guests. Let us help you create a magical day with the simplicity and elegance you desire!
Our photographic artists have many years experience capturing wedding moments in a variety of styles including photojournalism, posed and traditional.
We specialize in capturing, enhancing, and preserving the most important memories of your life. Our photographic artists are known for their personal touch, easy going style, and creative approach. What’s more, all printing and processing is done on-location, meaning that we control the quality from start to finish.
Your Wedding Ceremony will be conducted on your own cottage patio overlooking the vines. An Arrival Bouquet of fresh seasonal flowers will welcome you to this special interlude. On the day of the ceremony, the minister and photographer will arrive with your wedding bouquet, boutonniere, flower topped cake, champagne for toasting, and can even stand in as your witness if needed. Our minister has a religious or nondenominational ceremony to choose from, or you can write your own vows.
After the vows, you will enjoy the cake cutting and champagne toast by popping the cork into the vineyards. You will then be invited to walk the lush grounds of The Wine Country Inn to take even more photos to commemorate the day with a professional photographer.
Then, without a drive to the airport and a five-hour flight to wherever, your honeymoon has begun. Our knowledgeable staff can help you arrange special dinners, spa treatments, balloon rides, wine tasting, estate tours, or you can just hang out by our pool and daydream about the wondrous new life you have just begun.
Approximately three weeks after the ceremony, you will receive a Beautiful Custom Wedding Album with images selected by your photographer. In addition, all images from your Gay Wedding Ceremony (40- 60 images) are available online for convenient reorder of copies or enlargements.
