Wedding Rental
Villa Catalana Cellars LLC, allows for a limited number of weddings each year. We appreciate your consideration of holding your special day with us. The information listed below is an overview, feel free to contact us via email, if you have additional questions.
Event Times & Set Up
Our garden venue for weddings rents for $6500 and includes a day to set up, the day of the event and a day to take down. The rental includes use of the garden, but not the house. The terraces next to the house are accessible to guests but set up on the terraces is not permitted.
Use of the Conservatory Tasting Room and bathroom can be used as a dressing room, if it does not conflict with our tasting room hours. The Hermitage can also be used for a changing room, bar, etc.
We have a large Grape Arbor that can be used as a covered area for the reception and it is not necessary to rent a large tent. The area can seat about 150. An additional $500 is charged for additional guests over 150 guests. Maximum capacity is 200. Artificial flower petals and confetti are not allowed.
Because we are in a rural area, Oregon State statutes require that the event can not begin before 6 am and must conclude at 9:00pm. All staff must be finished at 10pm when we lock the gate.
Parking
There is room for over 200 cars in our field below the event area.
Restrooms
A restroom trailer is included with flush toilets and running water. If you have more than 150 you will need to rent a porta-potty backup for the restroom trailer. You can arrange this or we can do it for you.
Power/ Water
Two electrical circuits and potable water are available at the Grape Arbor.
Alcohol Beverages
If you would like to serve wine, we will sell ours to you for a 15% discount. You will need a licensed alcohol server to work with your wedding coordinator or caterer. Beer in bottles is permitted, but beer kegs, outside wine and distilled spirits are not permitted.
Security Guard
Weddings are high liability risk events and people have a greater tendency to overindulge and engage in more reckless behavior. To keep liability risks low for both the wedding party and Villa Catalana Cellars, we require you hire a uniformed security guard to help monitor the wedding reception. The security guard would work with the OLCC alcohol server to monitor alcohol consumption, in addition to patrolling the parking lot for un-permitted personal alcohol use as well as monitoring reckless behavior and ensuring children do not play in the ponds. We have found guests act more responsible when there is someone in uniform present.
Not Included
Our space does not include tables and chairs, linens, tableware, catering and flowers. We can recommend rental companies that will deliver these essential items for an additional cost. If you have a wedding planner, they can do this for you, or you can do it yourself. If you would like to use a wedding planner, we can recommend several good planners. We can recommend a golf cart rental agency, if you would like a 6-seat golf cart. Parking and driving on the grass is not allowed even for unloading, except in the lower field by the gravel parking lot.
Visit Us
To tour our venue you can visit us when our winery is open Saturday afternoons from 1 to 4pm. Or you may schedule an appointment at another time.
