Special Events & Venue Rentals

Weddings. Family reunions. Scouting trips. Picnics. These are just some of the reasons people choose to host a special event at Calaveras Big Trees. By far though, the most popular are weddings.

We are proud to offer several spectacular outdoor areas for your private function; however, our primary objective is the preservation of the culturual and natural resources for the enjoyment of all people.
