Today I’m launching my latest endeavor here on the blog, and I couldn’t be more excited! For the rest of the year and into 2018 I will be focusing on uplifting and highlighting the amazing western slope wedding venues we have right here at home. I’m constantly seeing talk in the community with couples who are not sure about all their venue options out here and I hope to bridge the gap and bring a spotlight to the area!
Wine Country Inn
And that’s not all! When I met with Victoria, the Event Planner for Wine Country Inn, she told me about their winter renovations! Over the winter they’ll be making some big changes, expanding the restaurant and ballroom for one. They hope these changes will allow them to host up to 200 guests for weddings in the future! That would make them one of the larger venues in town.
Photography-wise, this venue is a gem. Every inch of the grounds has such beautiful potential for photos and it really does feel like you’re in Napa Valley! Great natural light, abundance of beautiful backdrops, and more make this a highly sought-after western slope wedding venue for sure.
