Venue tour: Cornerstone Gardens

Beautiful place. $1,000. It has that unconventional/artsy feel while still following the format of an event venue. I loved it. There are 20+ different gardens which consist of both flowers and trees, but also artist installations of various materials as well. Lots of parking with a house that sleeps 7 in the back corner of the property. The price to rent the full facility is out of our range so the more affordable option (and most private) would be to just rent the house for our ceremony.

Amenities include:
3 bedroom, each with a private bath
Living room and kitchen
Clean modern decor
Manicured lawn
Private patio facing the vineyards and Napa hills
Full willow-like trees shade the area
35 minute -ish drive from home

I think this is THE place. We could have a small rehearsal dinner/bbq the night before. Mingle on the lawn and take our wedding photos in the main property gardens. Yay!

Another option would be to have the ceremony on the main gardens before 12pm, but I think that would be a waste if you don't have the time to utilize all of the space.

Poke around the website for photos of the gardens. It's super neat. I'm over the Di Rosa not being able to weddings and the Allied Arts Guild's high rate...Cornerstone fits the bill! :D
