Winter Wedding at a Woodville Winery
I’ll come out and say it—I love a good winter wedding. I love them, even more, when they are at a Woodville Winery in California. Winter weddings are moody, romantic, and cozy. They might not check all the same boxes, but they instead offer an intimacy that you might not find during the summer months. Another big perk? Vendors, from caterers to planners to bands often have greater availability outside the traditional wedding season, meaning the odds of booking your dream florist (or photographer!) are that much better.
