Inn On The Twenty
Valley light, village character, candlelit conversation.

A sense of place
A beautiful setting.
Your own story.
Inn On The Twenty offers several ways to celebrate in Jordan Village. Windows On The Twenty faces the valley through a broad wall of windows, while the Valley View Room brings its own outlook from the historic restaurant building. The Vintner’s Cellar changes the mood again with an intimate underground setting. The inn also describes vineyard ceremony arrangements at Cave Spring, which should be planned as a distinct part of your itinerary. This is a useful venue to consider when the feeling of a wine-country wedding matters as much as standing among the vines. Think about the balance you want between village atmosphere, a view across the landscape and time spent around the table with your guests.
A valley-facing reception and an off-site vineyard ceremony need one joined-up schedule. Confirm each location, transfer and weather alternative rather than treating the venue names as one address.
Plan around the actual window light
Large windows give a room character, but the light changes with the date, cloud and time of day. Let your photographer see the room layout, including where speeches and the head table will sit. If a short evening portrait matters to you, keep its timing flexible rather than promising a particular sunset. The view can be part of your photographs without turning dinner into a race against the sky.
Separate the village and vineyard chapters
If your ceremony is at a partner vineyard, write both addresses into the schedule. Discuss transport, parking, loading and where guests wait on arrival. Make sure the photography coverage allows for the real journey and a comfortable transition. Your portrait plan can then stay close to whichever site you are already enjoying, with fewer unnecessary departures from the people you have brought together.
Keep the cellar mood intentional
If you choose a cellar celebration, talk about the atmosphere you want in the finished photographs. Candlelit warmth and a bright outdoor portrait are different visual languages; both can belong in the same story. Share lighting plans with your photographer and venue coordinator, especially for speeches and dancing. Leave some room for photographs that describe the setting as it felt, rather than expecting every image to resemble daylight.
Before you make the plan
A few good questions.
- Which Jordan reception room is included in our proposal?
- If we choose a vineyard ceremony, what transport and backup arrangements apply?
- How can the room lighting and speech position work together for photographs?
