Beautiful Wedding Venues in the Livermore Wine Country

Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life and the wedding venue you choose for your ceremony and reception is one of the most important decisions you'll make regarding your wedding.

A winery, a beach, a vineyard, a ballroom, a Victorian home, or ? Wedding venues can be found just about everywhere now with wineries and vineyards being the most popular.Ceremonies are sometimes done at the same site as the reception; often the ceremony will be held outdoors at one venue, then move (but on the same property) so the reception is done inside. Many ceremonies are still done in churches and the receptions are being held just about anywhere.

In this article I'll mention a few beautiful wedding venues in the Livermore Wine Country in California. The Livermore area is an up and coming part of California's wine regions. It's located about an hour southeast of San Francisco and has many small boutique wineries. I actually prefer it to the larger commercial wineries in the Napa/Sonoma area. I used to just drive through this area quickly on my way to/from San Francisco. Recently my parents moved there so I've discovered many places to enjoy when I'm in the area. Some are excellent places to use as a wedding venue.

The first beautiful wedding venue is Wente Vineyards - the one at the golf course which is less than ten minutes from downtown Livermore. You can have both your ceremony and reception at this winery. Their rolling hills and acres of vineyards provide a splendid natural backdrop for exchanging vows. Their historic event center will hold 150 guests and is close to the main parking lot. It has a lovely circular "plaza" area in front of it. Their lawn terrace has a capacity of up to 1000 persons. They have a staff that will provide experienced support and assistance throughout every step of the wedding planning process to assure a beautiful ceremony and/or reception. Several smaller rooms can be used for smaller wedding parties or for rehearsal dinners and similar functions. I've eaten there myself and so have many of my friends - it has always been wonderful.
