As photographers, it is essential for us to be able to work seamlessly with all of the team members on a wedding day. The staff and service at Vellano Estate by Wedgewood Weddings provides such an incredible environment for our team. We have worked with this venue for ten years and we could not be more thrilled to be on property. When we are there we know that our clients are being taken care of from little things like champagne on ice in their prep room and appetizers waiting after their recessional - to big things like tracking down family members for photos and helping everyone stay on pace and organized and most importantly - STRESS FREE!! We love this venue and this staff. 5 stars every time.

Communication with Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings was always on point, whether by texting, email or phone call. If we sent them a message after hours, they would get back to us the next day. They gave us a lot of flexibility with the event space, allowing us to move things around and add our own personal touches without any problems. The Wedgewood team made sure that we had our special touches and that each guest was enjoying their experience. They also went out of their way to make our bridal party feel special as well. The Wedgewood experience from beginning to end was very effortless, and I trusted them 100% with everything - they did not let me down.

Morada is an open-air wedding venue located in Joshua Tree, California. With 350 acres of untouched Mojave Desert, the estate offers soon-to-be-weds a chance to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Any couple’s romantic event will be surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges and romantic sunsets during the evening, providing a stunning, photo-ready backdrop.

  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away
  • Lush gardens

Venue considerations

  • Does not provide event staff
  • No free parking
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
The Morada was the absolute perfect venue for our Joshua Tree wedding. Hunter and Devon have gone above and beyond not only in the design and amenities built into the space, but they are proactive in assisting with any concerns and have maintained great relationships with the other local vendors which made for seamless drop off and pickup of rentals and guests. The venue itself is beautiful and all of our guests were very impressed by how representative it is of what makes the desert so special. Even having our wedding in the summer, the shaded patio provides relief from the heat. We had 11 children at our wedding and the space was very accommodating and the surrounding land gave everyone enough area to explore. We could not have picked a better venue and wish we could relive our time at Morada over and over again.
