If we haven’t met yet, hi! I’m Lindsey Nickel and I’m a local Sonoma and Napa wedding planner and the owner of Lovely Day Events. Since 2010, I have helped stylish, fun-loving couples (and their dogs) plan destination weddings. Our clients want the ceremony to be outside, the food to be outstanding, and the dance parties to be epic. If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

  1. Elusa Winery at Four Seasons Napa

Of course, any wedding guest coming to Napa for a wedding wants to do at least one wine tasting. One of the unique perks of the Four Seasons Napa is that they have Elusa winery on site.

Located within the serene surroundings of the Four Seasons Napa Valley, Elusa provides a perfect setting for wine tasting without bothering with leaving the resort. Their mission is to craft wines that endure through the ages, and we are privileged to possess an extensive collection of mature vintages to offer our visitors.


Elusa Winery is a wonderful option for a welcome event the night before your wedding. Guests can enjoy a short walk from their hotel rooms to the winery. Even though it’s at the Four Seasons, it has its own personality and feels like a different experience.

2. Distinctive Event Spaces

Vineyard Barn and Vineyard Lawn

Surrounded by the vineyard, the Vineyard Barn stands as an eye-catching wedding venue. Its lofty ceilings and expansive barn doors evoke a rustic yet elegant ambiance, bathed in abundant natural light. Adjacent to a sprawling Vineyard Lawn, it offers the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor spaces for your wedding.

The Vineyard Lawn provides a picturesque spot for a wedding ceremony with a vineyard backdrop with rolling hills in the distance. After the ceremony guests mingle on the lawn during cocktail hour while sipping cocktails and enjoying the exquisite appetizers.

After cocktail hour, guests are welcomed into the Vineyard Barn for an evening of dinner and dancing. Inside the barn, the modern barn exudes quiet luxury with its high ceilings and minimalist design. As plates are cleared away, the space comes alive with the rhythm of music, inviting guests to take to the dance floor for a truly unforgettable night.

3. Four Seasons Napa Valley can serve liquor (and why this is unique)

As you embark on planning your Napa wedding, you'll soon find that wineries are not licensed to serve liquor. However, at Four Seasons Napa Valley, a resort setting, you have the advantage of full bar service, including liquor, beer, and of course, wine. If a complete bar experience is essential for your wedding day, Four Seasons Napa Valley is a must-visit venue. It's time to start envisioning your signature cocktails!

4. Dancing Past 10:00 pm

Couples are often surprised by the restriction on outside music after 10:00 pm at many wedding venues, mandated by the county's noise ordinance. However, at Four Seasons Napa Valley, indoor dancing options are available, allowing celebrating and dancing to continue long after 10:00 pm. Rest assured, the ambiance isn't confined to a stuffy ballroom; Four Seasons Napa Valley's Calistoga Ballroom is meticulously crafted, featuring expansive windows and doors that seamlessly connect indoors with the outdoors.
