Although most couples coming to the region want to get married in a vineyard or winery setting, others prefer a traditional church setting for the ceremony. In Napa County, in particular, a church ceremony is highly recommended as there are very few wineries that are “legal” for wedding ceremonies and those that are garner very high site fees. In Napa County, the best scenario is a church wedding followed by a reception at one of the region’s great resorts, hotels, wineries or restaurants.
Our criteria in recommending these churches is their proximity to great reception sites, their acceptance of destination wedding couples, the beauty of the facility, great ministers and priests and practical considerations such as parking, sanctuary size, etc.
Let us help you pair up one of these wonderful churches with a great reception site that will give your guests the full wine country experience.
