Things To Do
The Pink Cabana
Our venue's on-site restaurant. The stunning interior was designed by Martyn Bullard and is inspired by Palm Springs tennis and racquet clubs in the 50s and 60s. Order the homemade naan, you won't regret it.
Birba
Our favorite pizza spot! Beautiful outdoor patio with fire pits and string lights. In the heart of downtown Palm Springs.
Azúcar Restaurant and Bar
One of our favorite date night spots — killer margaritas, beautiful setting and impeccable interior (don't miss the ode to Frida Kahlo gallery wall).
Bar Cecil
One of our favorite bars and recently recognized with a Michelin Star. We recommended making a reservation in advance as they book out. Our recommendation: Espresso Martini.
Bootlegger Tiki
Casual tiki bar in the heart of Palm Springs.
Norma's
One of our favorite brunch spots — we love their smoothies. We recommend making a reservation on the patio as it's colorful, stays relatively cool and the design is on point.
Del Rey at Villa Royale
One of our favorite bars. We prefer sitting inside with it's dark and moody atmosphere, making it a unique experience. You can't go wrong with their Spanish style tapas and an abundance of cocktails.
Boozehounds Palm Springs
Dog lovers, listen up! This is the place for you. Instagram-worthy interior, delicious brunch and dinner menus and lots of people (and dog) watching on the patio.
The Lights at Indio
Enjoy this 18-hole par-3 course that is fully lit at night, allowing golfers to play well past sunset for a unique experience.
The Nest
Dance the night away at this local gem! Live music, a grooving dance floor and a full bar. Another perk: it's right next door to our wedding venue!
Moorten Botanical Garden
Wander through the scenic 1 acre family-owned botanical garden specializing in cacti and other desert plants.
Café La Jefa
An Instagram-worthy Latin-influenced modern coffee house and restaurant in downtown Palm Springs.
Ernest Coffee
A fan favorite for coffee. It is right next door to Bootlegger so you can coffee then tiki, if you plan it right.
The Shops At 1345
The Shops feature rotating selection of vintage and modern furniture and decor, pottery, lighting, jewelry, art, men’s and women’s apparel and Moroccan textiles and rugs.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
This is the world's largest rotating tram car—traveling over 2.5 miles along breathtaking cliffs. At the top, you can soak up a beautiful view of the desert below. For those afraid of heights like Allison, a beverage at the top inside Peaks Restaurant might be on the agenda.
Pappy + Harriet's
If you're looking for a little desert getaway and some good BBQ, we recommend Pappy & Harriet's. They do not take reservations and often have live music, so anticipate a wait. It's walkable to the heart of Pioneertown which is worth paying a visit to.
Cabazon Dinosaurs
You heard it here first. A roadside attraction featuring two enormous dinosaurs named Dinny the Dinosaur and Mr. Rex. We even featured Mr. in our Christmas card photo in 2020.
Joshua Tree National Park
If you're coming a few days before the wedding or tacking on a few days after, definitely try to make your way out to Joshua Tree! Lots to see and explore in the park, but plan your itinerary (and get your tickets) in advance.
