Our Journey

Welcome - we're beyond excited to countdown to our big day with all of you! Our journey together began over four years ago. Zak likes to joke that we met online, but it was not in the conventional way of swiping left or right, rather through the wonderful world of “work”-from-home Zoom calls. What started as Morgan postponing their Monday morning meet-and-greet quickly evolved into a year of virtual friendship. It is still up for debate as to who made the first move, however since our first date we’ve been inseparable. If you can’t find us sipping cosmos on New York City’s lively streets then in all likelihood we’re at Martha’s Vineyard for a calm retreat. Since we come from different corners of the world, we are truly grateful that you are considering joining us for our special day in California. So, dust off your passports, pack your sense of adventure and meet us in the wonderful Palm Springs!

Travel

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is the closest airport, less than 10 minutes from downtown where wedding festivities and accommodations are located. Landing in PSP will be the quickest way to jump-start your holiday, although direct flights from the East Coast US and abroad are limited that time of year. If you prefer a direct route, we recommend looking into flight options to Los Angeles International (LAX). The drive to Palm Springs is ~2 hours (depending on traffic). We’ll do our best to track arrivals and coordinate carpools. There is also a direct bus from the LA area to Palm Springs if others like Morgan do not drive on the highway 😉 Ontario International Airport (ONT) and John Wayne Airport (SNA) are slightly closer than LAX and may offer some options for our American friends.

Hotel

Hotels

We have secured room blocks at the Alcazar Hotel and Ace Hotel. Alcazar Hotel will be a hub for activities, mingling by the pool and NYE festivities! The Ace Hotel is the reception and afterparty venue and is ~10 minutes from Alcazar.

Things To Do

Hikes & Outdoors:

Tahquitz Canyon (near downtown Palm Springs) Cactus to Clouds Trail (long & VERY strenuous) Palm Canyon & Indian Canyons (highly recommend) Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Hidden Valley Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve

Bars & Restaurants

Las Palmas Brewing (local brewery) High Bar (rooftop hotel) Birba (near Alcazar) Cheeky's (near Alcazar, good for breakfast) Hoja Blanca Workshop Kitchen & Bar Truss & Twine Farm (good breakfast, get there early!)
