CRC Ranch is a 70 acre equestrian ranch with two absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites on property. I “got hitched” at CRC this last weekend and it truly could not have been any more perfect. This was the last venue my now husband, family and I toured in our search for a wedding venue. I knew I wanted something a little more rustic but still elegant and that is exactly what the Ranch offers. There’s a stunning outdoor ceremony site with a beautiful stone walkway for the aisle, a wooden stage and arch. Then there’s a beautiful indoor air conditioned barn with the most beautiful grand entrance doors for the reception. Not to mention MULTIPLE beautiful airbnbs, and trailer/RV Spots to stay at over night. This was a “pro” we were not going to find anywhere else and really what held our interest in the Ranch since a lot of my family would be traveling from Los Angeles. We ended up booking 3/5 of the airbnbs and 5 RV spots for our wedding weekend. As for the staff at CRC, I could not be happier with the way our entire day turned out and truly it was all thanks to Tracey and staff. From the very beginning, Tracey has been nothing but professional, honest, and very understanding of what we wanted our special day to look like. Tracey and her staff continued to check in throughout our wedding planning process to see if we needed anything and to recommend vendors to make the day that much more special. Tracey was truly a phenomenal wedding coordinator. We started our ceremony a bit late due to other uncontrollable circumstances but Tracey made sure to do what was necessary to get us back on track. Everything turned out so beautifully and amazing. Our guests had such a great time and loved being able to explore the ranch and look at the horses during cocktail hour. We had so much positive feedback from our wedding party and our guests on how this was just a beautiful wedding and would be a weekend to remember. A huge thank you to Tracey, her staff, the owner Bob, and all the other vendors that made our wedding day quite literally the best day of our lives. We will definitely be back to the ranch to visit, maybe spend a weekend, and say hello to the staff. I highly recommend working with Tracey and booking CRC Ranch as your wedding venue if you want a beautiful rustic wedding!

Hawk Ranch was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. They were so easy to communicate with, day or night, and made me feel like a priority even though they had 4 weddings our weekend. The venue is absolutely stunning - it's well kept and enhanced regularly so you don't have to worry about anything being out of place. Crystal and her team set up everything the day of for me, so I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about one detail. I was able to enjoy the morning with my bridesmaids and really feel my best. If I had to do this all over again, I would 100% pick Hawk Ranch as our venue. The team is fabulous to work with and so knowledgeable - they answered every question ahead of time with ease and made sure everything was covered and thought of before our big day. During the day of, Crystal took care of all coordination with our vendors and decor set-up. My family and I didn't have to worry about anything! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful it all was!

Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.
