The property has so much charm, the bar area is gorgeous, and the whole space feels laid-back while still being really special. Sofia has also been wonderful every time I've worked with her, super friendly, communicative, welcoming, and easy to coordinate with. As a vendor, that makes such a huge difference on event days. I'm always happy when I see Deloro Valley on my calendar and would definitely recommend it to couples looking for a unique and beautiful place to get married in the foothills!

Deloro Valley is hard to describe until you've actually been there. It's 130+ acres tucked into the…read moreSierra foothills and somehow feels like its own little world. You can spend the afternoon by the pool, wander through the property, catch the sunset from the Upper Village, sit in the wood-fired sauna, and end the night dancing somewhere you didn't even realize existed when you arrived. What makes Deloro really special is the character and heart behind it. You can feel how much love, creativity, and hard work has gone into building this place and making it what it is. It's a little wild, constantly evolving, and has a kind of magic that creates lasting memories. Every wedding, festival, retreat, or gathering takes on a life of its own here. There really isn't another place quite like it.

March 2023 After…read morechurch service, I stopped by the snack shack and ordered nachos for $5. While I was waiting, the staff took a very long time to prepare the food, even though it seemed like they were only using a microwave. After waiting for a while, I asked if they could cancel my order and refund my $5. I was told that they do not give refunds. I found this very unreasonable, especially because I had not received any food. Later, I went back to the cashier to ask about my order. They apologized and told me the nachos were sold out. I asked again for my $5 refund, but the cashier told me, "We don't do refunds." I became very upset because I paid for food that they could not provide, yet they still refused to return my money. If there is a no-refund policy, it should be clearly posted at the snack shack window so customers know before ordering. I did not see any notice about a no-refund policy. The snack shack also needs better organization and improvements to the kitchen and ordering process. This was a terrible experience over something as simple as ordering a snack. I will NOT come back. This was my first and last time here. Very disappointing experience.

Hello happily engaged couple, We understand where you are…read moreright now in the process. You're excited about the engagement, and the thought of your upcoming wedding. Congratulations. We also know however, that the more you Google looking for answers, the more questions you have! Even if you have a venue, you now need to worry about seating charts, timelines, hairstylists, weather, forest fires, COVID, cleanup- oh my! "Do I even need a wedding planner?" may even be a question that you are pondering- and that is ok! The good news is, this review that you are reading is the review you need. As partners, we were asking ourselves these same questions. In hindsight, we would have been stupid to not hire Terri/Events Extraordinaire. Should you simply care about the bottom line, then skip the rest of this review and just hire her already! If you are interested to know why, please see below. Although one of us was skeptical in the value of a wedding planner, I can assure you that Terri's actions and efforts were invaluable in making our day perfect. From the very first meeting, we were relieved at the methodic approach Terri takes to wedding planning. Your first meetings are simply getting to know each other and learning what the couple wants to achieve with the wedding. Terri fairly listened to both of our ideas and provided unbiased feedback and guidance. These little nudges compounded to big decisions which encouraged us along the wedding planning process. Speaking of the process, Terri has one. She has timelines, 'day of' agenda's, and planning deadlines that keep not only the couple, but also your vendors on track! Although you may expect the planning process to go smoothly, just as we had, of course life happens. We had a serious issues with one of our main vendors (That we found before working with Terri) the month before the wedding. We promptly referenced Terri's pre-supplied vendor list and found someone who was more budget friendly, that produced fantastic results. Then, just one week before the wedding, the HMUA dropped out (crazy we know!). Terri picked up her personal cell phone that same day, to step in, and spent the evening with us hunting down alternates. To us, Terri felt like another family member with all of the right tools in her tool box to help us navigate the complex nuances of wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, we hardly noticed Terri- and I mean that in a good way! Seamlessly behind the scenes, our wedding day and timeline panned out about as perfect as it could be. This letter is a testament to her process, value, and care in wedding planning. We were thankful to have found Terri and now look forward to connecting with her any time we are in the foothills! -Adam & Samantha Klick

Despite that, the fans inside the chapel did an ok job keeping people cool. Since I'm only about two, two and a half hours away from Sonora, I chose to go home after the wedding and reception, so I can't speak to the accommodations here. Keep in mind that if you're coming here for a wedding, the closest food options in Downtown Sonora are 15-20 minutes away by car, and these roads are winding and hilly, so keep that in mind.
