We had our wedding at the knife house, or more a 4-day long weekend with about 50 friends and family. While most stayed at hotels in Palm Springs, the Knife house was the central gathering point and the venue for our ceremony. The house and the grounds are beautiful, but most importantly the host was amazing to work with. Very accommodating to our needs, super responsive and all around professional. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better host.

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.

Casa Tierra 

5.0

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 could not say enough about how much we love The Morada! My husband and I had a hard time finding a venue that didn't feel like a classic, cheesy wedding venue and felt like us. As soon as we set foot on the property we knew this place had our hearts! The entire space is lovely and our guests have not stopped talking about it. Not only is everything about the space incredible, but everyone we have worked with from our initial inquiry has been so kind and helpful. Devon was extremely quick to respond to any and every question I had. Hunter and Pablo were there during the wedding weekend and truly made the weekend and the day run SO smoothly! If you have the opportunity to get married at The Morada I HIGHLY recommend. I would book this venue 100x over. We love The Morada!!!!
