Our Own Wedding Plans! (Part 1)
Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 5:12PM Ever wonder how two wedding photographers would plan their own wedding? Danielle and I are going to have a small and intimate wedding with our closest friends and family in Napa Valley, California. We love wine, we love Napa and we love to travel. It's perfect!
Our "Welcoming/Rehearsal Dinner" will take place at the Rubicon Estate. Formally known as Niebaum/Coppola currently owned by Francis Ford Coppola. We've been visiting the winery every year since we've been together...
"Rubicon is the winery’s flagship wine and is made from grapes harvested from organically grown vineyards on the winery property."
Rubicon Estate will be closed to the public and we will have the winery to ourselves! We'll be having a four course dinner in a private room that's located in the Estate Wine Cellar called "Daniel's Cellar". Lucky for us they have a larger table than pictured below...
We chose a dinner package that included decor, floral, music and special lighting. We didn't want to go through any third parties since we are planning from New York! We will have our photographer there to photograph the event since this dinner is a big part of our wedding...
We visited many of our other favorite wineries but Rubicon Estate went above and beyond for us and really made us feel at home. Giving us private access to the Estate was very important to us. During our visit they treated us to a VIP tasting in the private members room. This clinched the decision for us!
