I plan to elope in Sonoma in October. I have already booked the Inn at Sonoma. It will just be my fiance, parents, and me. It's the 1st wedding for both and I'm looking for a special place for the ceremony to take place, maybe at sunset. I'm looking for an outside venue. Unfortunately, all the places I've searched on the internet seem to cater to "reception" like weddings with large groups. I'm just looking for a nice, memorable place to wed but not have a reception. I am willing to go anywhere in Sonoma Valley or even the Napa valley. I welcome all suggestions. Thanks!

The pretty little garden at Lambert Bridge Winery? I'm not sure if they are open to this, but it's worth a try:

Excellent idea, Neo ! We are wine club members there and love their garden.

If you're just looking for a ceremony location, just call the event coordinators at the facilities and ask if they'll accommodate a small ceremony. They likely only list the larger groups on their website because that's where the greatest demand is, not because they won't accommodate your smaller ceremony.

I had some friends get married at Ferrari-Carrano, it is pretty there...& it was a very small wedding party.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I will look into all of these possibilities. Anyother suggestions from other Fodorites??
