Happy groom and bride at our outdoor venue, the Rough & Ready VineyardsIf you have been putting your wedding on hold due to COVID-19 restrictions, you are probably excited that these restrictions should be lifted in the next few months. Unfortunately, there is no set date, so that still leaves everything up in the air.
 
As soon as authorities officially lift the restrictions, some couples will want the nearest date possible for their wedding. This tight schedule can leave you trying to plan a wedding in just a few months or even a couple of weeks. Don’t worry, our staff is ready! We can help you plan an amazing wedding on very short notice.
 

Available Décor and Preferred Vendors

Whether you prefer a formal indoor wedding, casual outdoor wedding, or something in between, we can make your wedding dreams come true! We have tables, chairs, linens, plates, flatware, and a wide variety of décor onsite.
 
We work closely with caterers such as Emily’s Catering, Bill’s Chuckwagon, and Antonio Ayestarán Custom Catering to provide a fantastic feast for your guests. Need a photographer or videographer? We’ve got you covered with Winding Road Imagery and Brooke Films.

Local Lodging and Attractions

If you have guests coming from out of town, we have several options for them to consider. Rough & Ready Vineyard Guesthouse is charming and can sleep up to 16. The Outside Inn is always a popular choice, as is The Gold Miners Inn. They will certainly enjoy exploring the charming towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City and experiencing the quaint shops and lovely restaurants they will encounter. There is a lot of history in these small foothill mining towns.
