Tuolumne, CA
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $20,000

Deloro Valley is a historic Sierra Nevada property with the space and infrastructure to support a wedding that actually unfolds; not just a ceremony and a reception, but a full experience spread across multiple days and acres. The property includes ceremony and gathering spaces, two potential dining halls, two amphitheaters, a pool, sweeping valley views, and the kind of natural setting that does a lot of the decorating for you. Our on-site culinary team handles everything from welcome dinners and morning spreads to late-night bites, all prepared in our commercial kitchen and tailored to your group. Most couples choose to buy out part or all of the property, giving their guests room to move, settle in, eat well, and really be present for the weekend. It's less like hosting a wedding and more like hosting an entire space; one that belongs entirely to you and the people you love for a few days.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deloro Valley is one of the most naturally beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to, without the stuffy and stiff vibes of other venues. It feels like a very liberating sanctuary with a sort of 'adult summer camp' vibe. The team is incredibly friendly and the communication is excellent, responsive and diligent. As a wedding planner, it was rare to have every guest mention the space was hard to leave. They went above and beyond to accommodate requests and make the experience truly unique and special. It's clear how important the happiness of the client is to the Deloro Valley team. Most of my wedding guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. If you are considering this venue for a large event of any kind, know that the experience will hold a place in your guests' hearts forever.

Our wedding experience was nothing short of magical, and it's all thanks to the incredible efforts of Jessica, our outstanding wedding coordinator at this enchanting venue. From the moment we engaged her services, we found ourselves effortlessly gliding through the entire process without a single moment of stress. Jessica's expertise and meticulous attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our special day. So much so, that I wholeheartedly entrusted her with the arrangement of the florals, not laying eyes on them until the wedding day itself. To say she exceeded our expectations would be an understatement – every detail was flawlessly executed. The venue itself is an absolute gem, radiating an undeniable charm that contributed to the overall magic of the occasion. The accompanying homes provided for our use were not only incredibly cute but also showcased Jessica's unwavering commitment to perfection – no detail was left unattended. Reflecting on our wedding day, my spouse and I find ourselves repeatedly expressing the sentiment that, if given the chance, we would relive that extraordinary day over and over again. This venue, with Jessica at the helm, truly created an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't be more grateful for the seamless, beautiful celebration she orchestrated. Thank you Jessica!

My fiancé and I had the most incredible experience touring this venue! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the space is—pictures truly don’t do it justice. Every corner feels like it’s been pulled from a fairytale. What made it even more special was meeting Sabrina, the new manager. She is warm, passionate, and incredibly detail-oriented. You can instantly feel how much she cares—not just about the venue, but about your vision and experience. She walked us through everything with so much enthusiasm and clarity that we left feeling completely confident and inspired. The new owners, Sabrina and Chase are not just maintaining the beauty of the venue—they're investing in thoughtful, meaningful upgrades that make the space even more magical.

The Heirloom Inn was the perfect venue for our 2019 wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Tiffany and her team, their communication was excellent and clear. They were kind, caring and so helpful in making sure every detail of our special day was just right. The venue itself is beautiful and spacious, and their recommendations for catering, music and photography vendors were spot on. Tiffany and her whole crew are truly amazing, and we are so grateful to them for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

After extensive searching, we stumbled upon this place via family friend recommendation. It was perfect! The owners responded quickly to any questions and concerns we had. Not only was the venue GORGEOUS, but we, as well as the wedding party, were able to rent the venue the night before and the night of the wedding. It saved us a lot of stress because our wedding party was all in one place! This also allowed our vendors to set up earlier in the day. We love Red Tail Ranch and are planning on spending a weekend there in the near future!

Greg, Laurie and their staff (Racheal) are a pleasure to work with. So helpful and attentive to all our needs.
