Destination wedding in Northern California?
Does anyone know a fairly inexpensive place, but still classy (ie: resort, b&b, hotel, etc.) that can host an intimate wedding (about 30 people, including children and bride/groom), as well as accomodate the guests…would need about 7 rooms, not including the honeymoon suite.
We, as the couple, would like to pay for the entire thing, since his family is travelling from Australia, but have a fairly limited budget as we are both 21 and still have the expense of an apartment, rings, etc. I would estimate that our budget would be about ,000-5,000. This would include lodging, ceremony (no reception), decorations, etc. It would be preferable if the place had kind of a European look to it (Tuscany, etc.). Also, we don’t drink so alcohol, etc. is not a necessity
Just wanted to see if others have done the same thing and/or been to a wedding like this, or perhaps know of cute locations that could accomodate what we’re wanting

Here is a great little place in Napa. It is beautiful an looks like it has the capacity for the size that you are looking for:

Here are a few other places that you can check out as well. My suggestion would be to narrow down the area you want to have it in since Northern California is a big place – then you can start looking at where you would like to have it.
