Old Sacramento Waterfront carriage ride tour

Sacramento Area Political & Group Specialist

Meetings & Event Space Common programs include board meetings, training, seminars, political summits, expos, corporate conferences, and the much-awarded company incentive trips. The same venues also accommodate networking socials, wedding celebrations, milestone celebrations, all in spaces designed for private dinners & gatherings of all sizes. Whether your group's focus is to motivate sales & management teams, reward & recognize superior performance, or simply bring groups together to celebrate, these venues produce measurable results & clear ROI. Location This region offers a striking blend of riverfront tranquility and historic charm. Groups can begin their journey at Old Sacramento Waterfront, where you can stroll down cobblestone streets lined with gas lamps and gold rush- era architecture buildings creating a sense of 19th – century nostalgia setting for group tours of Sacramento History Museum and the California State Railroad Museum. Next, take a group tour of the State Capital Building that beckons with its grandeur of neoclassical architecture and rich history. You can also learn about the lawmaking process while there. Sacramento comes alive during the Summer with the arrival of the annual California State Fair at Cal expo with amusement rides, live entertainment, and culinary competitions creating a great experience for groups of all ages. Dubbed as “City of Trees” for its lush urban forest. The area retains a historic culture that blends effortlessly with its historic roots and political governance. The region’s dynamic personality is magnified by California State University Sacramento and UC Davis, a world class university focused on research and sustainability. Nearby, companies like Bee wise and Biome Makers contribute to a thriving sustainable Agriculture community. Transportation & Access The destination is just a short drive from Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). These well-connected gateways support both domestic and international flights. You have access to private transportation services that allow for customized transfers & smooth coordination of attendee arrivals and departures. Activities & Experiences A cornerstone of the region’s identity, Sutter’s Fort is a State Historic Park where you can go back in time to the Gold Rush days and take a tour of what was the economic center of the first permanent European colonial settlement of California's Central Valley. On-Site Amenities & Accommodations Guest rooms & suites feature enviable views, vibrant paintings, and plush bedding, creating a soothing haven between sessions or after full-day events. Dining options include on-site restaurants that highlight local flavors. Outdoor dining in courtyards or on terraces is frequently available. Catering services offer customizable menus designed to reflect the size, style, & preferences of each group. Meeting spaces are also equipped with technology, including modern audiovisual equipment, Internet/Wi-Fi, multimedia capabilities, & in-house technical support. Additional amenities include indoor/outdoor pools, state-of-the-art fitness complexes, wellness therapy, casual areas such as open-air lounges, business centers, etc. Featured Event Venues The region offers a diverse portfolio of venues suited for a wide range of group sizes, program styles, & budgets.
