Desert Willow has more than 33,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space across four settings: the Lakeview Terrace, the Palm Desert Terrace, the Event Lawn and the indoor Firecliff Ballroom. Each one can host a ceremony or a reception, so you can say "I do" with golf course and mountain views, then head to dinner and dancing without leaving the property.

Catering is handled in-house. Have a special bottle in mind? You can bring your own wine for a $30 per-bottle corkage fee. Your vendors can get into your space two hours before the event starts.

It's open to the public, so you don't need to be a member to book, and you can bring your own licensed and insured vendors. Packages come in three tiers (Silver, Gold and Platinum), and you can add a day-of coordinator or a full Wedding Concierge if you'd like someone guiding the planning from start to finish. Celebrating indoors? The Firecliff Ballroom's floor-to-ceiling windows keep the desert views in the picture.

Yes, and it's smart to plan ahead: tours are by appointment with the Catering and Events team, and weekend slots fill quickly. Set aside at least 45 minutes for your visit. Walk all four spaces, ask which one fits your guest count best, and ask about your complimentary menu tasting, held within three months of your wedding.
