FAQs
Question
Where is the venue?
Answer
The Winchester Estate is located at 3030 Legends Dr, Meadow Vista, CA 95722
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00pm in the evening. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior. Out of respect for the moment and our guests’ experience, late arrivals will not be admitted once the ceremony begins. We truly appreciate your understanding and timeliness.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Please join us in formal attire to match the elegance of the Winchester Estate — suits and ties, evening gowns, midi or floor length gowns and dresses are all welcome. Dress to impress! Suits or dress pants with a button-down shirt and/or blazer are perfect (ties are optional unless you'd like to wear one!). Our ceremony will be held outdoors on a grassy lawn. We kindly suggest block heels, wedges, or dressy flats for comfort. Thin heels may sink into the ground.
Question
Can I take photos or videos during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you do not take photos or videos during the ceremony, as we are having an unplugged ceremony. This means we’re asking all guests to turn off and put away phones, cameras, and other devices. We want everyone to be fully present — and to ensure that our professional photographers can capture every special moment without phones in the way. After the ceremony has concluded, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like!
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes! Winchester Estate offers ample free on-site parking for all guests. Parking is conveniently located near the venue entrance. We recommend arriving a little early to allow time for parking and seating.
Question
What colors should I avoid wearing?
Answer
We kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white/ivory/cream to let the bride shine, and black, which is reserved for our wedding party. Thank you for helping us make the day look and feel special!

Can I bring a guest?

Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love your little ones, but we’re keeping our celebration adults-only.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
