Five of our Favorite Wedding Venues in Palm Springs
Whether you’re exploring Pioneertown, trekking through Joshua Tree National Park, dancing at Coachella music festival or grabbing a cocktail at a speakeasy in downtown Palm Springs, there’s a whole world to explore in the Palm Desert area. But there’s also this unspoken magic swirling around the area that is a concoction of beauty, mystery, and unwavering style. A stunning mountain backdrop, stark desert landscapes, rock formations and Dr. Seuss trees, eclectic venues, mid-century architecture and a touch of old Hollywood glam makes Palm Springs interesting, desirable and beautiful. Truly, a perfect California wedding destination.
We spend about half the year out in the desert for wedding season, Coachella and Stagecoach festivals, corporate retreats, Modernism Week and we see some unbelievable venues. We’re sharing our top five wedding venues for those looking for a traditional wedding gathering!
CASA CODY
Newly remodeled and one of the most fun wedding venues in Palm Springs, Casa Cody is the kind of place you’ll want to rent out with your entire wedding party crew; they have 29 rooms, many with fireplaces and patios! The lush, wandering gardens envelop additions to the original hotel among blossoming citrus trees. The Spanish hacienda-style hotel is perfect for an outdoor wedding and reception under the stars.

THE RUIN VENUE
Settled in the rocky terrain on the outskirts of Pioneertown and just beyond cell phone reception, you’re transported to a simple desert destination. Ceremonies are held in front of the beautiful rocks, iconic to the area and reception dinner is held under the twinkly lights and night sky. Once a home in the desert, but now forgotten, the ruins are left for a minimal and neutral vibe. With a stunning backdrop of the desert, the venue will give both you and your guests an immersive desert experience like no other.

Together, they form a hidden oasis of gardens, pools, lounges and fountains among 28 Mediterranean and Moroccan bungalows, guesthouses and villas. Cross the grand threshold of our iconic Moorish archway into our sun-washed courtyards, redolent of citrus and jasmine flowers.
