McMinnville Groupons for Guests

I have talked to several of our guests and since the wedding is essentially a local destination wedding for most, many couples/families are making it a little weekend get-away. I came across a couple groupons from the area that I thought I would share with everyone, just in case one of these wine tastings are of interest. I'll keep a look out for any other groupons from this area to take advantage of.

Wine Tasting Uncorked

Last Thursday with some dear friends of mine, and the mama, I went to an initial consultation with a caterer, Cafe Uncorked. We discussed our wants, likes, dislikes, and what would work for our wedding and our budget. We stayed for lunch and had delicious fresh salads, sandwiches, and soup. We are a step closer on our search for the right wedding caterer.

After lunch I took the ladies up to the wedding site, Youngberg Hill Vineyard, to tour the grounds and to taste some wine. It was a beautiful fall day—possibly our last before the wet, cold weather hits the Northwest (hitting today 11/16).

Allie (congratulations! she is also getting married next summer!), Caitlin (who was visiting from the far off land of Nashville), and I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening wine tasting in the McMinnville area, and even had a good ol' fashion slumber party—complete with pasta, wine, bridal mags, and great trashy reality TV. (Our thoughts and wishes were with our absent friend Mrs. Meagan Golden—we included a video chat in our evening.)

A toast to great friendships and an exciting year ahead of us!

Location, location, location

Since arriving home from Hawaii it has been a whirl wind trying to find a job post grad school while planning a wedding. Thankfully I have many loving friends and family who have been ready to tackle anything I throw at them. The stress of wedding planning has been rather limited thanks to these wonderful people. I am so blessed!

Already we have found our ceremony/reception location, and I couldn't be any happier! Kenny and I were thrilled, and just as easy as it was to find my dress, we were able to find our location. So here it is: the beautiful, Youngberg Hill Vineyards & Inn.
