The Weekday Wedding Package is perfect for the couple with a wedding size of typically 30 guests or less (including the wedding party) and with limited time to meet with the officiant. Weekday weddings are available Monday-Thursday and sometimes are held on Sundays as well.
We work with many couples each year who dream of having their wine country destination wedding, but would like to stay within an appropriate size and budget. Reverend Dalton will develop a connection with you while planning the ceremony through telephone conversations, especially if your schedules will not allow you to meet Reverend Dalton until the day of your wedding. We appreciate and understand the trust involved in choosing to work with us from afar. It is reassuring for couples to know that Rev.Dalton’s enthusiasm and presence at your ceremony will be the same quality ceremony as if you lived close by and you had met with him.
