married in an orchard?

Question

i live in Modesto, CA were pretty much surrounded by almond orchards and in the spring the blossoms are gorgeous. My boyfriend and I were talking about getting married in one of them with the flowers in bloom. Question is, how would we go about that? do we talk to the farmer/owner directly? the city?

Answer 1

If it is a privately owned piece of land then you need to talk to the owner/farmer. If it is a public piece of land then you will need to see someone with the city or county.

One farm wedding took place under a tree. The aisle was lined with candles in mason jars on shepard's hooks. There were streamers tied to the hooks & they also were tied to the low branches of the tree.

Pretty cool.

Answer 2

You might have to do some hunting to find out who owns the property. There should be a little house nearby, even in the orchard. He might be farmer, but he might be just the caretaker. But he'd be able to tell you who owns the property.

Answer 3

What a beautiful idea...hope it works out for you. Contact the owner of the orchard, or the company that manages it.

Answer 4

Ask different people in the wedding business in your locale how often it is done, who does it and how much they normally charge. I bet your caterer, the priest, the dj and florist could all give you tips. You could also ask your chamber of commerce, the almond growers association and put up a post in your local craigslist.

Answer 5

Ask the farmer. If it's a large place, odds are they've been asked before.

Answer 6

Answer 7
