Wedding Events

We are fortunate enough to have family and friends who will be traveling from all over to be with us on our wedding day. Therefore, we are planning to spend more than just the afternoon and evening of our wedding day with you. We have thrown in a few other events that are a bit more relaxed and which will provide a chance for our family and friends to catch up with each other, to get to know each other and to have a casual chat.

Scheduled wedding events will take place from Tuesday night, September 20, 2011, to Thursday morning, September 22, 2011.
These events are still in the process of being planned and more detailed information will be posted to our site as our plans progress.

 
The preliminary plan looks like this:

Tuesday, September 20, 2011
- Rehearsal Day

Rehearsal Dinner

We are planning a casual get together for everyone on the evening before our wedding. Do not miss out on this if you want to share some great food, margaritas and a lot of laughter with us! We will
be providing transportation to and from the restaurant.

- Wedding Day

The festivities on our wedding day will take place at Gundlach Bundschu Winery in Sonoma. In order for everyone to be able to relax and fully enjoy the wedding and the wonderful wine, we will be providing transportation from the
Sheraton Sonoma County in Petaluma to Gundlach Bundschu and back.

Wedding Ceremony

Our ceremony will take place in a rather secluded spot of the winery’s grounds, on a lawn overlooking the vineyard.

Wedding Reception and Dinner

Sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served at the vineyard overlook following the ceremony. Enjoy the sunset over the golden Sonoma Mountain Range and the vineyard while having a drink and some delicious appetizers.

Around sunset, we will make our way over to the winery’s olive grove, where dinner will be served. Be prepared for local Californian foods, Gundlach Bundschu’s award winning wines and a good time among friends and family.

Good Night Drinks

The reception at Gundlach Bundschu Winery will have to end at 10 p.m.. We will take care of your transportation back to the hotel and would love it if you then joined us for a couple of drinks at the bar on in the lobby!
 
 
Thursday, September 22, 2011
- the day after...

Brunch

To round off the wedding events, we will be serving a brunch on the morning after our wedding. Roll out of bed and join us for a casual gathering.
