Is confetti, rice or faux flower petals allowed to be thrown?

We all love to celebrate! It is impossible to clean up every piece of confetti or faux petal. The Delta Breeze that we love will blow them away in no time, so confetti, rice and faux petals are a NO. We do welcome real or dried petals to be thrown.

Can we bring in hard alcohol?

As a winery we serve wine & beer at events. Hard alcohol is not allowed on the premises, but being so close to Downtown Sacramento couples often love to meet for an after party following their reception.

Are there any minimums we should be aware of?

We do not set any catering minimums and more importantly, do not charge vendors or take a kickback to work at Silt Wine Company.

What time must the music and bar conclude?

Music concludes by 9:45pm and the bar closes during the last dance.

Can vendor or decor items be dropped off before or after our stated rental period?

Are candles allowed?

Yes, as long as they are in something such as a votive or hurricane lantern. We do not allow an open flame.

When do you need our final headcount?

Our event staff will reach out to you three weeks prior to your wedding for your final guest count. At that time we can make any final adjustments to your table and linen count.

How do I obtain a marriage license?

You can go to your local county office. Silt Wine Company is in Yolo County, so just remember that when filling it out.

What is the event setup and clean up process?

Anything that you bring needs to go home with you that evening. Our event staff will help whomever you designate. It’s best to have it go in cars and to a home or garage that the items can sit in for a week so you’re not having to worry about snagging them the next day!
