Why Are We In the Desert?

Joshua Tree is where we met in person for the first time and fell in love. Cayla and Spencer, two of our best friends and lovely wedding officiants, had introduced us over FaceTime one night during Covid. Sarah was living in Los Angeles at the time, and Bryan in Denver, but Cayla and Spencer knew we were perfect for each other. We talked for seven hours that night into the early morning, and just a short time later took a chance and went on a "friends trip" (read: thinly veiled set up) to the desert and have never looked back. Four years, a masters degree for Bryan and a law degree for Sarah, multiple cross country moves (with Fuzz commanding the journey), and a long stint in the Midwest later, we're so excited to marry each other in this beautiful desert in front of you all!

When Are We Doing This Thing?

Getting Hitched at 3:00 pm

After we say "I'm gonna marry ya sweet thang" join us by the pool for cocktails and some nosh. Then we'll make our way to our tables for some dinner and what I'm sure will be memorable speeches. When you're done eating get ready to freaking party! Music, dancing, and maybe even a few surprises!

Where?

Cavallo Ranch ------------------------------ 82200 Avenue 54, Thermal, California 92274

But Whatever Shall I Wear?

Cocktail attire - let's all look fly as hell in the desert!

Travel

Below are some travel and hotel recommendations. Since we have many close friends and family staying in Airbnb/Vrbo's, we do not have a room block. If you would like to rent an Airbnb but would prefer to do so in a larger group, please let us know and we can put you in touch with anyone else in the same boat! There are also plenty of hotels in the area, and we have included a few recommendations below.

Flight

Flights

The closest airport to the venue is Palm Springs (PSP). LAX, Santa Ana (SNA), Burbank (BUR), and San Diego (SAN) are all about a two-hour drive so you may wish to rent a car. We are happy to help arrange carpools with other guests who are flying in, if you would like to be put in touch with them!
