Summer brings golden California sunshine and longer days. In truth, summer is ideal for exchanging vows under the open sky. It’s also perfect for those post-vow celebrations that carry on late into the evening.
Fall wraps our Inn in warm, earthy tones. So, if you’re planning jewel-toned wedding attire, autumn is your season. You’ll still enjoy a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for photos and gatherings.
Winter is magical; it transforms the Inn into an enchanting retreat with crackling fireplaces and charming indoor spaces — just right whether you’re enjoying an elegant, intimate elopement or a grand celebration.
