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.

Casa Tierra 

5.0

Palm Desert, CA
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,500

Owned by a famous host and designer, Casa Tierra is an exceptional wedding venue for many reasons. Its unique Spanish-style architecture, paired with modern, cozy touches, provides a beautiful and distinctive backdrop that adds natural elegance and romance to any celebration. You can dress it up as much, or as little, as you like. The spacious layout, spanning over 5,000 square feet with 7 bedrooms and 6.5 baths, allows for both intimate gatherings, and larger dinner parties under the golden desert light. The property’s seamless indoor-outdoor flow is ideal for a wedding; allowing ceremonies, cocktail hours, & dinners to take place outdoors against the desert landscape, while also offering perfectly curated indoor options for stunning photos. This flexibility enhances the experience, giving couples and their guests a variety of beautiful spaces to enjoy throughout the day. The mountainside location provides a sense of privacy and intimacy, creating an exclusive atmosphere.

Rented this house for our daughter’s 15-person micro-wedding in May. It was the perfect venue with endless picture-perfect options for photos, meals, and activities. It’s like having your own private resort. The pool area is amazing. In addition, the house was clean, well appointed, and rooms are well laid-out for everyone to not feel like they were on top of each other. There are quite a few steps both inside and out so if you have anyone with mobility issues it could be challenging. The TRAVLR staff was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions. We had a number of pretty specific inquiries about types of dishes and glasses, etc. (for the wedding dinner) and they were always prompt and thorough in their replies. They even tracked down and shipped some bathing suits that were left behind. We appreciated their attention to detail. Casa Tierra exceeded all expectations - I just wish we had stayed longer!

The high desert is a special place for us. It's a second home and it's where we truly fell in love. So it was a no-brainer to have our wedding there. Rimrock Ranch was the first venue we toured and we knew right away that it was the right place for us. The grounds and views are stunning, the cabins are charming, and the staff is like family. Gwen, Eric, Reno, and Team are incredibly kind, thoughtful, accommodating, and easy-going. They make you feel right at home and completely safe in their hands. They've done a bunch of these and it shows. They also have fantastic vendor recommendations. The bartenders, the caterers, and the audio set-up were all first-rate. We had the wedding of our dreams at Rimrock Ranch and could not recommend them more!

Celeste was an absolute pleasure to work with and was so supportive of all the ideas that my spouse and I had for our dream desert wedding. She gives you free reign over the land and you can have a custom/DIY set-up which made everything feel so personalized and that much more intimate. We were able to get married AND have our reception at the venue. Guests were able to watch the sunset and see the stars come out. We didn’t need to set up a wedding backdrop or anything since the land itself was breathtaking. If you need help with finding tabling, sound, or anything related to the event, Celeste is local and can always help with recommendations. I truly cannot recommend this space enough.

We just had our wedding at the end of June and DPV was absolutely incredible!! Our wedding party stayed with us the whole weekend leading up to our Saturday wedding, and it was so amazing being able to be together during that whole time, rather than just on the wedding day. DPV was more than accommodating and the communication throughout our planning process was quick and helpful. DPV had staff available to help our wedding vendors with set-up and clean-up, which made everything so seamless. We would highly recommend DPV for any one wanting a bit of a non-traditional wedding experience!!

Victoria Ranch

Vista, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Victoria Ranch is the perfect place for a local destination wedding. From the breathtaking views overlooking the rolling hills of San Diego to the intimate and nostalgic setting of a vintage property, this is a hidden gem. We offer a completely full-service experience that includes but is not limited to event rentals, catering, florals, and entertainment. Let us turn your vision into a reality. Victoria Ranch embodies the spirit of the coastal mountains it was built upon. On a clear day, stunning views of rolling chaparral give way to the sparkling crystal blues of the Pacific Ocean. The gentle and magnificent presence of Mother Nature surrounds this home that love built.

I had my wedding at Victoria Ranch in February. It was perfect! The location is stunning with beautiful views and a gorgeous sunset – plenty of spots for incredible photos. Our wedding was 80 people and there were tons of spots throughout the property for people to wander, explore, and take photos, while still feeling intimate. We had a happy hour event the night before our ceremony and reception, all of which were catered by the preferred vendor, Chef Joann. The food was incredible. Hands down the best wedding food ever. We ended up staying at the property for two nights with our families and when the weather got chilly at night we ended up moving the party into the ranch itself. The ranch is charming and cozy, full of vintage tchotchkes that made this antique lover's heart melt. Perhaps most importantly, the team was easy to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. They were responsive and knowledgeable. I put a lot of trust in their vision and input. It was the best decision because it took a lot of the stress off of planning a wedding, knowing that the catering and venue was in good, capable hands.
