The Report
Situated in Napa Valley surrounded by vineyards of the Knights Valley Appellation is Triple S Ranch, a 12-acre private resort. The structures on site include the grand Victorian built in 1867, a redwood dairy barn/restaurant built in the 1880s, a swimming pool, gym and thirteen cabins. The property is available for a number of events, including rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, receptions, and more. The rental grants exclusive use of the property, its various features — from a full commercial kitchen to a 175 year-old Black Walnut tree with a canopy — and lodging for 51 people.
Woman Getting Married Says
It’s not easy to find a venue with lodging for guests in Napa or the surrounding areas, which makes the Triple S Ranch a great pick, especially considering how close it is to Calistoga with plentiful resort/hotel options as well. While the venue rental fee can seem pricey at first, there are three major things to consider.
1) You can bring in your own vendors, which includes food/alcohol. This will end up saving you several thousand dollars, especially since the venue has a commercial kitchen which means you don’t have to pay extra for a caterer to set up a tent/prep kitchen. 2). The fee includes lodging, a fee which you can pass onto guests. IE: Charging guests even $100/night per cabin could save you $2,600. The more you charge, the more you offset your cost. Obviously you want to be within reason, however! 3) You can also host your rehearsal dinner here, which will also help you save on food/alcohol.
I predict all in a savings of at least $15,000 off the rental price, so keep that in mind as you’re looking at venues in the area.
