Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort is located in the foothills, in the heart of the Gold Country – only 1 ½ hours from the hustle bustle of downtown Sacramento. Be prepared to find rolling hills, small, quaint towns, wine tasting, history, and so much more around Jackson Rancheria. Amador County is made up of multiple small towns with everything the outdoors and historic towns have to offer. Known for the region’s Barbera and Zinfandel wine, gold panning, soaring landscapes, boutique shopping, and cave exploration, it is a delight to find a hotel, casino, and the best kept secret in wedding and event spaces in the area! Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort rests in one of these small Amador County towns in Jackson, CA. This is the only venue of this size {9,000 sq. ft. of event space!} and variety of spaces in the area, so if you are planning a corporate event and large dinner party this is the spot. With all of the luxuries a casino and hotel offers, Jackson Rancheria has everything for you and your guests to enjoy a comfortable, well taken care of, and fun weekend or weekday retreat! Regularly scheduled concerts are always an option for a get-away weekend or late-night entertainment post party at the casino. Maybe you’ll get lucky and be at Jackson Rancheria when they host one of their summer large-scale outdoor concerts for up to 1,700 people!

The Garden Terrace is the first space we will tell you about. It is an outdoor patio adjacent to the hotel. This space is lined with pine and cypress trees and is available from March to October. The use of a white tent is available, which gives this a private and secluded feel; it would make a wonderful cocktail party location, farm table dinner space, or an outdoor wedding ceremony option. The space includes a rustic wood with copper accented arch, white folding chairs and many combinations of tables to create the feel you are looking for. Ideal for up to 300 guests, this space can also be used as a combination ceremony and cocktail space for up to 120 guests.

The Grand Oak Ballroom is the largest space for hosting your private party at Jackson Rancheria. With seating up to 350 guests, this space can also be split into 4 smaller spaces accommodating closer to 120 guests in each quadrant. With an autumnal feel, neutral taupe walls, gold lit chandeliers with arrow accents, this space is all yours to create any theme. The ballroom includes a large stage, state-of-the-art audio visual, portable bars, and an in-house food and beverage team that isn’t afraid to create something special for your event! What makes Jackson Rancheria extra special is their offerings in variety and in-house upgrades. From 8ft and 9ft rectangle tables to farm tables and 6ft round tables, each space can vary by look and feel. Multiple linen options are included and specialty upgrades are available, such as charger rentals, chair covers, market lights, and chivaris that can be included for half the cost of most rental companies. Beautiful complimentary centerpieces are also available with a fantastic perk of a talented in-house florist to create magical floral design. A lot of bang for your buck here!

Additional breakout and conference rooms are also available for smaller groups. There are several combinations of spaces that work well together for every size party. Look around and get creative for your next event.

Jackson Rancheria offers 86 hotel rooms and suites. With all of the amenities such as swimming pools, gym and business center, everything you need is right here. Walk the hallways to touch the history of Amador County with their old country photos in black and white and local landmarks scattered throughout the hotel rooms too. Enjoy the Native American sculpture pieces and accent artwork placed about the property.

The Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort is one of the only remaining dry casinos. Though they serve alcohol onsite in certain areas and for events, the main floor of the casino is dry. They have added a non-smoking side of the casino and gone through many transformations in design and décor to offer a beautiful casino for your enjoyment. Additional private spaces sit on the top floor of the casino overlooking the rolling hills. From a private dining space for 20 guests, situated next to their high-end dining experience, to an incredible outdoor patio space with the perfect touch of lighting, be sure to take it all in and book your next event here!
