Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Since 1936, this exclusive 375-acre gated western-style resort in historic Palm Springs has been a favorite of celebrities, heads of state and anyone lucky enough to discover it. For couples seeking an elegant indoor/outdoor venue with handsome guest cottages, miles of trails, and retreat-style amenities like an Olympic-size pool, it's a California dreamscape like no other. If you're looking for gold in the desert, you might as well stop right here.
- The ocean blue-tiled Kiva Room, with its three walls of sliding glass windows and ample bar, is ideal for pre-dinner appetizers and passed hors d'oeuvres. An adjacent living room, warmed by a fireplace, is an inviting space for even more socializing. Disney Hall, named after the celebrated animator, features an entire wall of windowed sliders that lead to patio and pool. Dine or dance inside, or allow your celebration to flow into the great outdoors.
- The sun shines year-round in this desert oasis, so why not take advantage with an al fresco soiree? Imagine your ceremony on the perfect lawn framed by regal trees and a 360-degree surround of soaring mountain ranges, followed by dinner beneath the sparkling stars—there's plenty of room for a band under the loggia or on the patio next to the pool.
