We have a separate location for each event. Renault Winery has three outdoor ceremony locations for our different reception locations as well as three indoor facilities that help to provide a smooth and convenient transition from ceremony to reception.

All reception rooms have there own ceremony site as well as back up indoor ceremony site due to inclement weather. Also, please note that we reserve a back up location for any outdoor ceremony locations.
