Cotton Tree Ranch

Cotton Tree Ranch is a wedding venue in Dos Palos, California, offering a spacious country setting for couples who want their ceremony and reception surrounded by open farmland and manicured lawns. Set along Highway 152 in the heart of Merced County's Central Valley, the property carries deep agricultural roots, having been shaped by four generations of a local farming family whose connection to the region reaches back to the 1950s. The result is a venue that feels both authentically rural and thoughtfully cared for, with wide skies, mulberry trees, and sixty acres of land framing every celebration.

The centerpiece of the property is a new 4,300-square-foot barn, a luxurious yet relaxed space that anchors weddings, rehearsal dinners, and receptions through every season and into the evening. Couples can exchange vows outdoors against a backdrop of green lawns and farm country, then move seamlessly into the barn for dinner and dancing. The generous grounds give wedding parties room to spread out, while the indoor space provides comfort and shelter no matter the weather, making the ranch a flexible choice for ceremonies and receptions of varied sizes and styles.

Beyond weddings, Cotton Tree Ranch welcomes reunions, business gatherings, and other special events, reflecting an easygoing hospitality that suits the surrounding Central Valley community. Its location between Merced and Los Banos places it within convenient reach for guests traveling from across the region, while the quiet rural atmosphere offers a sense of retreat from busier settings. For couples drawn to barn weddings, golden-hour photographs in the fields, and the warmth of a family-run property, Cotton Tree Ranch provides a memorable canvas for a country celebration in Dos Palos.
