The choices for your special day at Roaring Camp are unique and magical. Treat your guests to an unforgettable experience on a steam train ride through the Redwoods taking you and your guests to a towering, circular Cathedral Grove of Redwoods providing a majestic background for your ceremony, or choose to frame your vows in a park-like setting on an open expanse of green lawn surrounded by the shade of Majestic Oaks near your vintage schoolhouse bridal suite.
For your reception, our large barn doors slide open for your celebration inside Bret Harte Hall. Wrought iron chandeliers & twinkle lights line the expansive barn with 6,120 square feet of space that includes all your tables and chairs to accommodate receptions from 80 to 300 guests. We have ample room for dining, dancing and more outside on the adjacent lawn- perfect for games and mingling.
The Roaring Camp Catering package includes our staff to set and bus your tables, your basic table settings with many options for plate patterns, linen colors, etc. along with a water, iced tea & lemonade station plus coffee & tea after dinner. You bring the beer, wine and champagne only- no corkage fee. A rustic wagon wheel displays your desserts & cake and you can add on a fire barrel outside for s'mores. Licensed outside caterers and food trucks are allowed with a service fee per guest.

I got married here one month ago and I am so glad we chose this venue for SOOO many reasons. I'll start off with the most important aspect for guests: THE FOOD! I didn't know what to expect since they aren't a restaurant, but I was blown away with the multitude of options and all were delicious. Heather, the event coordinator was so easy to work with and really cared about making our day everything we wanted it to be. There was plenty of parking for guests, large restrooms, ADA & pet friendly, and the location CANT BE BEAT!!! Hotels in the area were hard to come by or very expensive though during the summer, so plan accordingly! If you are going for a woodsy vibe and want a bit of action, choose Roaring Camp! Guests said it was the most unique and fun wedding they've ever been too. They let you rehearse there for free the day before which is an aded bonus. Also one of the most cost effective venues in the area! (Shoutout to Take Delight Photography for the amazing pics!)

I videoed a wedding recently at Roaring Camp, and it was a uniquely wonderful magical experience. The wedding party and attendees board a train that transports you through the Santa Cruz mountains and redwoods to a special ceremony area. The ceremony was beautiful and then we all ride back to the reception held in the hall. The food was great - the staff were so friendly. Heather does the planning at Roaring Camp and she made sure that the event went smoothly - everyone had a wonderful time. I highly recommend.

We had our wedding at Roaring Camp, and it was a hit! Some guests described it as the most fun wedding they've ever attended. We had lawn games outside, a steam train rolling by (we did a ceremony offsite), a DJ recommended by the venue, and the venue's catering. We had about 100 adults and 15 children <5 years old. We were happy how timely everything was, from the appetizers and then buffet, to the tables being ready to decorate at 9am the day of the event. The venue was easy to work with, and was just the right amount of DIY that we wanted. The children were happy with the lawn games, which means the parents (our guests) were happy. This space met our requirement to be campy fun (which we love), but also approachable by our non-camping-loving guests. We used the venue's catering, and everything tasted exactly as it did in the tasting. They have an event in Feb to taste many of the offering. Overall, our event was perfect!
