Auberge du Soleil

Ideal Guest Count

• The Ceremony Deck can host up to 120 guests (75 seated with additional guests standing)
• La Pagode is available for a more intimate ceremony with up to 20 guests
• The Cedar Room is perfect for an event with 40 guests or less
• Vista I & II can seat up to 120 guests with a dance floor, and has access to the private terrace
• La Galerie can hold 32 seated or 50 standing guests, so it is perfect for a small reception

Recommended Event Flow

• The Ceremony Deck has amazing valley views and is great for an intimate ceremony, followed by cocktails on the terrace and dinner in the Vista Rooms
• I love setting up the terrace room as an after dinner dessert and port lounge

Catering and Facilities

• Auberge set a new benchmark for dining excellence in the valley and changed the face of Napa’s restaurant industry, so you can easily expect a remarkable menu
• Their restaurant is one of the very few Michelin-starred restaurants, and also boasts four stars from Mobil
• Auberge offers a list of pre-approved vendors; outside vendors can be approved on a case-by-case basis

The Bottom Line

• Rental fee for the event spaces run between $2,000 – 5,000, depending on the date
• Your rental fee includes all tables, white linen overlays on caramel linens, Chivari dining chairs, Riedel stemware, glassware, and silver
• Weekend events have a food and beverage minimum
• Luncheon prices start at $60 per person with a 5-hour window starting at 10am
• Dinner prices start at $98 per person with a 6-hour window starting at 5pm

Color Palettes, Themes, and Design

• A color palette that includes cocoa browns paired with blush or pale peach sets a feminine and flirty tone to the festivities
• If you are looking to create more sophistication, try pairing honey gold with alabaster, light brown, or latte
• This uniquely tranquil and romantic location is picture perfect for a ceremony filled with rustic charm and natural accents
• Using multiple small vases in the same color but in different heights and shapes will help capture interest and play up the beauty of your flowers
• An all-white wedding would also be amazing at this venue. Consider draping the Vista rooms in white silk chiffon for some real drama!

Entertainment and Photography

• A DJ or band is allowed to play inside the Vista I dining room; other rooms allows soft background music during dinner
• A string quartet works beautifully for the ceremony, as does any acoustic soloist
• This venue offers a matchless atmosphere, allowing for beautiful photography
• Their elevated location provides an inimitable panoramic view of the entire valley that will absolutely take your breath away!
• The beauty of Auberge du Soleil is in its sweeping views, so make sure to have them included in your photography

Let’s Talk

• The modest ceremony space is best suited for a design theme that incorporates the natural elements around you
• The Vista Rooms are intimate, but don’t be shy with a grand design as you can really turn the room into whatever you want
• Great lighting is always a plus
