  • Raw space

Located on the north shore of Big Bear Lake, The Outpost is a stunning rustic getaway and wedding venue and just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, Palm Springs and San Diego and only 55 miles from the Ontario International Airport. The Outpost provides the perfect backdrop for you and your partner to host the ultimate romantic wedding in an utterly tranquil space, surrounded by tall pines and the beautiful San Bernardino mountains. The Outpost boasts several locations for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and its five cabins are comfortably decorated and fully stocked. Bring the area's breathtaking natural beauty into your celebration with a romantic outdoor ceremony. In the evening, gather around the fire pit and share memories from the day. The Outpost also provides get-ready rooms for you and your partner to relax and prepare for your big event. The Outpost is also a fantastic location for engagement parties, showers, and bachelor and bachelorette celebrations.

The Outpost was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding vendor. Their communication style was very clear, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and attention to detail was superb - the property was super clean and beautifully groomed, providing the perfect setting for our intimate outdoor event. Despite a myriad of potential issues due to acts of God, the team at The Outpost made everyone on their property, from guests, and vendors to the bridal party, feel comfortable and at ease. The Outpost's natural aesthetic is perfect for any combination of modern and rustic events, and I highly recommend them to any couple, family retreat, or business team looking for a stunning venue for their special events.

The Dream House 

5.0

Palm Desert, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The Dream House is a true desert masterpiece – 5300 sqft of modern architecture juxtaposed by the rugged terrain of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Newly constructed, The Dream House was curated to be the ultimate luxury vacation venue with a secluded vibe, yet the convenience of a 5-minute drive to El Paseo in Palm Desert.  Perched mountaintop, you can bask in the large saltwater infinity pool overlooking the entire Coachella Valley. The Dream House has multiple lounging areas across the expansive property, providing ample space to sit back and enjoy a warm night under the stars. The front of this venue is an expansive yard with indoor/outdoor space, perfect for hosting large groups.

Our wedding at the Dream House was absolutely perfect and so unique! Our guests still can’t stop talking about it! The venue is set right in the middle of the beautiful Palm Desert Mountains, blending seamlessly into the breathtaking landscape. We couldn't have dreamed of a better spot to get married. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel so special. They were not only super professional but always there when we needed them. Quick to respond to texts, they helped with everything along the way. We had our ceremony on one side of the house with a beautiful mountain backdrop and a violinist playing. For the cocktail hour, we moved to the pool area, which offered the best view anyone has ever seen. Our guests kept saying the same thing – they were blown away. The main party was held inside the house in a room nicknamed the game room, which has sliding doors all across that open up to the outside. The decor our planner designed gave the room a unique, modern desert disco feel. The night flowed very smoothly from one space to another, giving our guests freedom to explore all the house had to offer. What you can do with the house in terms of layout and decor is nicer than any wedding venue I’ve ever been to. The decor and flowers were stunning. Even now, our guests keep telling us it was the nicest wedding they've ever been to. The Dream House made our big day so special and unique, we couldn't recommend it more.

The staff at Pond Oaks were absolutely fantastic - they dealt with almost everything, which was a huge lifesaver given that I only had 3 months to plan the entire wedding. They were responsive, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. Our guests raved about the gorgeous setting and delicious food. I cannot recommend Pond Oaks highly enough for any couple looking for an exquisite, stress-free wedding experience.
