Happy Trails Catering and Garden

Behind the Happy Trails Catering Company’s narrow storefront is one of the best kept event location secrets in Pasadena, with soft grass underfoot, high ivy-covered walls, palm trees, bamboo stands, and a formidable century-old camphor tree that rises from the garden’s center like an enormous umbrella. 

An elevated wooden deck has been built all around the trunk of the tree. Tables can be set up on the deck or below on the grass, their white linens and colorful centerpieces contrasting beautifully with the green surroundings. Soft night lighting is provided by Craftsman-style lanterns hanging from the tree.
