Exchange Your Vows Among the Vines

Imagine exchanging your vows before golden olive groves for a gorgeous winter elopement or surrounded by silvery green during summer. The groves offer a setting for an intimate ceremony that’s ethereal, timeless, and utterly romantic.

Say ‘I Do’ with a Scenic View

Rather than the vineyard and olive groves, perhaps you’d prefer a spot overlooking the rolling California countryside, where the sun kisses the horizon. Few things are as swoon-worthy and picture-perfect as a scenic view and a tranquil moment together.

Best of all? Once you’ve sealed the next chapter of your life, you can retreat to your luxurious room at The Purple Orchid for an evening of celebration, gourmet cuisine, and a sunset toast to your new life together.

Celebrate Love in a Private Rose Garden

Another fabulous elopement idea is hosting your intimate ceremony in our stunning rose garden. Lush and fragrant roses lend the perfect dose of romance and tranquility to an outdoor ceremony. Let nature’s splendor bear witness as you begin the next milestone — the next chapter — of your enchanting love story.

Say your heartfelt vows among fragrant red and pink petals, golden California sun, and a gentle breeze. Then, spend the rest of the evening celebrating your joyous union. Enjoy a candlelit dinner. Indulge in a couple’s massage, or stroll along our property and enjoy a quiet moment together.

Tie the Knot as the California Sun Sets

When considering a sunset ceremony, imagine this:

  • Gorgeous golden and fuchsia sunset
  • Warm breeze blowing
  • The rolling vineyard that yawns across the horizon

At the center of it all? You’re standing in your wedding glory, hand-in-hand, gazing at your partner. Your spoken vows resonate across the breeze — one heart pouring into another and sealing your union.

The setting of the California sun, the stunning landscape, and The Purple Orchid property make for a gorgeous setting and add an extra touch of magic to your special day. Later, a gourmet dinner for two. After that? To polish off the evening, a relaxing soak in a jetted tub or a glass of celebratory wine by the fireside.

Capture Stunning Wedding Photos by the Fountain

Want to add elegance, style, and a soothing ambiance to your elopement? Capturing your wedding memories with a post-ceremony picture beside our elegant garden fountain. This tranquil backdrop offers yet another way to elevate your special moment. Serene and sophisticated, a fountain photograph is as calming as it is beautiful and peaceful.
