How to Get Married at a Winery
If you love fine wine and the beautiful vistas of vineyards, a winery in California may be the perfect location for your wedding nuptials.
Instructions
STEP 1: Log onto winecountry.com/eventplanning/weddings.html for general information about the California Wine Country and links to wedding sites and planners.
STEP 2: Visit the area if possible and scout out potential wedding venues. Remember to inquire about special rates for wedding packages.
STEP 3: Select your favorite winery and the specific location for your nuptials. Choices range from gazebos overlooking the vineyards to elegant indoor settings.
STEP 4: Book lodging at the winery for your wedding party and guests. Some wineries allow you to have exclusive use of the property if you book all the rooms.
STEP 5: Work with the winery's wedding coordinator who will assist with all of the details, including custom labels for the wine served at your reception.
STEP 6: Consider wedding favors that tie in with the winery theme. Give wine bottle toppers, wine glasses or even wine if you can afford it.
STEP 7: Arrange to get your marriage license in the specific county. Find out more at www.dhs.ca.gov/chs/OVR/Marriage/Default.htm.
