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.

Morada Joshua Tree 

5.0

Joshua Tree, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Morada is an open-air wedding venue located in Joshua Tree, California. With 350 acres of untouched Mojave Desert, the estate offers soon-to-be-weds a chance to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Any couple’s romantic event will be surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges and romantic sunsets during the evening, providing a stunning, photo-ready backdrop.

The Morada was the absolute perfect venue for our Joshua Tree wedding. Hunter and Devon have gone above and beyond not only in the design and amenities built into the space, but they are proactive in assisting with any concerns and have maintained great relationships with the other local vendors which made for seamless drop off and pickup of rentals and guests. The venue itself is beautiful and all of our guests were very impressed by how representative it is of what makes the desert so special. Even having our wedding in the summer, the shaded patio provides relief from the heat. We had 11 children at our wedding and the space was very accommodating and the surrounding land gave everyone enough area to explore. We could not have picked a better venue and wish we could relive our time at Morada over and over again.

Nxwhere California 

5.0

Twentynine Palms, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

Nestled on 15 acres of Californian countryside, this property offers a wild and romantic landscape that is ideal for nuptials. Couples who choose to celebrate their vows here can expect an elegantly rustic experience embellished with modern facilities. Couples can choose to rent out this entire location for an intimate and private gathering with their closest loved ones.

We rented out the whole Nxwhere compound for our friends and family the week of my wedding and it was the best decision. The extra time helped me to not feel stressed out about the setup timeline for the actual wedding, and it gave us the opportunity to party with our loved ones for more than just the busy wedding day. Each house has its own vibe, but they are all perfect. The area where we had the reception was the exact vibe we wanted, and the amphitheater where the ceremony took place was such a beautiful setting. Our pictures look like they were straight out of an indie movie in the desert because the backdrop was so beautiful. Everything about Nxwhere is magical and I highly recommend having it blow your wedding dreams out of the water.
