Introducing the Vineyard Elopement Package

The Indigo House and Lovingston Winery bring you pet-friendly vineyard elopements. Ideal for up to 10 guests, a two-hour ceremony, and a dinner party. 

 

The Indigo House and Lovingston Winery are thrilled to partner for pet-friendly vineyard elopements. Ideal for intimate ceremonies and dinner parties with up to 10 guests, this pet-friendly vineyard elopement package includes two hours at Lovingston Winery— a family-run vineyard—for your ceremony and pictures. Return to The Indigo House— a modern bed and breakfast— for a mini honeymoon. Invite your guests to stay and host a romantic reception dinner under the stars. Both properties are pet-friendly, so your dog can be your Pup of Honor.

The Elopement Package is available Sundays through Thursdays. It’s the perfect fit for vow renewals, small weddings, and couples ready to get married quickly, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Elope now and plan a big wedding later (or don’t and buy that house you want or plan that epic European trip)! Say “I Do” to the love of your life and “I Don’t” to a stressful wedding.
