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.

“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.”

“We had our wedding at Boundary Oak in May 2024, and I can’t say enough great things about our experience—especially working with Angelique. From our very first tour her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were top tier. We toured seven venues before choosing Boundary Oak, and it was the combination of stunning grounds and exceptional customer service that sealed the deal for us. Our initial food tasting was decent—typical wedding food—but a new head chef joined about six months before our wedding. The improvement was noticeable and really elevated our reception meal. Our guests raved about the food! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be regarding the bridal suite. While functional, it could definitely benefit from an upgrade. Adding a private bathroom and a lock on the door would make a huge difference in comfort and privacy for the bride on such an important day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Boundary Oak and are so grateful to Angelique and the entire team for helping make our day so special!”

“We had the absolute best experience with Fairview Laguna Seca! From the very beginning, Danielle was the reason we fell in love with the venue, her energy, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel so confident in our decision. When she transitioned out of her role, we were a little anxious, but then Melissa came in and completely blew us away. Melissa worked with us through the last 6 months of planning and was nothing short of incredible. She listened to every idea, every concern, and somehow made everything happen exactly how we envisioned it. She always made us feel heard, never overwhelmed, and her calm, organized energy was everything we needed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total rockstar. She kept everything running smoothly and still managed to check in with us, make us laugh, and reassure us that everything was under control. We honestly don't know what we would’ve done without her! Amber joined the team just days before the wedding, but you’d never know it. She was so on top of things and jumped right in like she had been with us the whole time. Matt was also amazing, he made sure the day flowed perfectly and kept everything on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The food was delicious and there was so much of it, our guests are still talking about it! The bartending team was fast, friendly, and so easy to work with. Everyone from the Fairview Laguna Seca team went above and beyond to make our day feel special and stress-free. Our DJ, Ernesto, did an incredible job! He stuck to the vibe we wanted, played every request we had, and kept the dance floor going all night long. And the FLORALS … wow. D'Lily's absolutely nailed it. Every arrangement was stunning, fresh, and picture-perfect. They truly brought our vision to life. We can’t thank the entire Fairview Laguna Seca team enough. Our wedding was a dream, and it's all because of the amazing people who made it happen!”

“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!”

“Nearly two years later and we still get compliments on our venue! We had our reception at Sierra Cider and couldn’t be happier we did. Seriously- we wouldn’t change a thing. Dana and David were so accommodating and really worked with us to achieve our vision. Nick was our bartender during the event and was so kind and personable with all the guests. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an incredible experience. The venue itself is beautiful. Our guests raved about our table setting in the orchard rows. The tasting room is charming with plenty of seating, bistro lights, and even misters for hot summer days. I’d be remiss not to mention how yummy the ciders are! Many guests visited Sierra Cider days following the wedding because they loved it so much. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Sierra Cider more.”
