Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Great food, varied event spaces, and fabulous view of the Palm Canyon hills make this chic, LGBTQ+-owned restaurant an incredible option for a Palm Springs celebration. Located in the fashionable Uptown Design District, the building once housed the town's very first Post Office—today, it's got a clean, minimalist-modern vibe with a few playful pops of color throughout.
- Step through the sleek, white interior and you'll find yourself in the large Garden Patio, the venue's phenomenal outdoor space. Large columns support a soaring pergola that extends the length of the building, met by a plush lawn studded with stepping stones that form a lovely aisle for ceremonies. As the sun dips below the surrounding mountains, glowing bistro lights draped across the patio create a warm, romantic vibe. Of course, there are plenty of indoor venue options as well, each fully equipped for a great party.
- The cuisine is as impressive as you'd expect from a top-tier SoCal hotspot, with endless options to fit your preferences, tastes, and party sizes, from intimate elopements to grand, 250-guest soirees.. All-inclusive packages feature passed hors d'oeuvres, two-course dinner service (you choose the presentation: buffet, plated, family-style, French service, or any combination!), a premium bar, and a complimentary tasting to ensure your menu is just right.
