The Monte Verde Inn has heart and soul. This majestic property tells a story of past love and optimism which you feel immediately upon arrival. Just imagine the romantic walk in the gardens, the private rendezvous, and the days of hushed, enamored tryst of bygone years.
Whether it’s the hundreds of love stories past or the feeling of coming home, you will immediately fall in love. It’s a unique location to this area, with a feel all its own.
The present day Inn built in the 1930’s, designed in the Georgian Manor House style, is on the historic registry. It is located in the Sierra foothills, about 1 hour from Sacramento (between Auburn and Foresthill). The Inn sits at the end of a perfectly tree-lined driveway. As you pull in, the beautifully traditional home with its white exterior, looks large and regal. The ceremony and reception sites are located behind the Inn.
First, the ceremony area is set back amongst a grove of towering cedar trees. This private, shaded area is quiet and just separate enough from the garden reception location. The ceremony setting is on a lovely paved patio that doubles as the dance floor later in the night. This arrangement is a great use of space and creates a wonderful flow for your event.
Next, there is a separate cocktail patio area where guests move post-ceremony. Cocktail tables and umbrellas are part of the inclusions at the Monte Verde Inn. It’s a fun, lively space where guests mingle just before moving over to the garden reception area.
Finally, the dinner tables are positioned on the lawn between the cocktail space and dance patio. The area is surrounded by perfectly manicured flower beds, adorned with darling garden art. Monte Verde is a full service venue and the staff executes service seamlessly. In addition, the outstanding cuisine is divine!
This private estate is large enough to host a 200 person event, yet it feels naturally intimate. And a great bonus to this property is the overnight guest accommodations. The Inn can sleep 12 of your most important guests. Each suite is themed in the wine country and makes you want to snuggle in with a delicious port or beverage of choice!
Photo ops abound – a small vineyard, a rustic barn, and stone walls, as well as an elegant fountain, home and gardens. This venue cannot be defined as a backyard wedding by any means, but has the warmth and feel of such. Make an appointment today to see the exclusive property and host the wedding day of your dreams.
