Napa Valley Rehearsal Dinner
Our wedding weekend kicked off at Far Niente Winery, one of Napa Valley’s most iconic vineyards. The day we got engaged, we visited Far Niente and instantly fell in love with everything about the property (and the wine, of course). So when we decided to get married in Napa, we knew Far Niente had to be a part of our wedding weekend.
Walking to the Four Seasons barn for our rehearsal I officially started to feel the flutter of wedding nerves but grabbing Franks hand and seeing the people closest in our life all there was pure magic and eased every nerve.
Rehearsed, ready for a glass of wine and to become Mrs. Harris!
Off to Far Niente we went! Cocktail hour was the perfect start to our night with chardonnay, love and Far Niente’s vintage car collection.
Our faces hurt from non stop smiling and laughing the whole night!
After cocktail hour, we walked through the Far Niente wine caves. With guests flying in from all over to celebrate our weekend, we knew a tour of the winery’s behind-the-scenes magic was a must. The stone-lined tunnels, filled with rows of aging barrels, were incredible to see, and it was such a fun moment to experience together before heading into the main house for dinner.

We were even able to sneak away for a few sunset photos in the vineyard! (One of our favorite moments of the night.)
Although the entire evening was unforgettable, the most special part of the night was definitely dinner in the beautiful Far Niente House. We enjoyed a four-course meal, each perfectly paired with a glass of Far Niente’s wines. (I may have been full after the first course, but there’s always room for wine!)
Sitting together with our family and friends, sharing laughs and reminiscing over both new and old memories, was a moment we will cherish forever. It was so special to watch everyone meet and form bonds—seeing friends and family from different chapters of our lives come together in one room was so beyond special. These are the kinds of moments that remind me why the fell in love with event planning in the first place—to honor relationships, to create memories, and to feel surrounded by the people who matter most.
