Casa Tierra

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!

I planned a wedding here in less than 6 months. From start to finish hands down an incredible experience. Jolene, amazing, kind, and thorough in explaining details when showing us the venue and figuring out contracts. Ryan - amazing. Always available for questions. Quick responses to emails. Very warm and friendly. Entertainment Express - Evan, planned our wedding minute by minute so the day of was perfect. Music was amazing. I got so many compliments on how organized everything was. We were always on track with the schedule and everything went so smoothly. The food.. I am still getting compliments on how great it was. I felt like the quality of my wedding should have taken over a year to plan and everyone at Padua made this happen in 5 months. I can’t thank everyone enough. Amenities- parking is easy, bathrooms so nice and easily accessible, bridal suite beautiful! Servers, staff, bartenders all wonderful. Tammy, my day of coordinator who came with the venue was incredible. She was always there, always knew what came next, and new exactly what I needed before it was done. From guiding me through the day to fixing my bustle she truly was the best. Any couple getting married here will have an amazing time guaranteed. Thank you again Padua, our day was so special because of you all.
