“I was part of the team that produced an event at Maraza during festival season, and the property is exceptional. Located just minutes from the private airport and about six minutes from the festival grounds, it still feels expansive and completely removed. The Maraza team executed seamlessly, and their in-house production capabilities were incredibly impressive from both an event and logistics standpoint.”

“I’ve spent a lot of my life looking at structures and solutions, but what happened at Jackalope Ranch for our wedding wasn't about the architecture of a building—it was about the architecture of a soul-level experience. ​We came into this day looking for something authentic and grounded, and what we found was a crew that didn't just "work" an event; they cared for us like family. Amidst record, unseasonably hot weather that could have easily derailed the outdoor spirit of the day, the staff ensured every moment felt effortless. ​Erinmary and Destiny were quiet anchors. We never had to look for them; they were simply there, anticipating needs before they were even spoken. Lillian and Gilbert are names we will carry with us for the way they treated us - we will say hi from now on when we see them. My friends and family haven't stopped talking about the food—several people told me it was the best they’ve ever had at any wedding, period. Even as someone who isn’t a drinker, I heard nothing but praise for the bartenders and the spirit they brought to the house. ​There is a weight to a day like this, a vulnerability in standing before those you love. Jackalope Ranch gave us the room to breathe. Whether it was the privacy of the events room to cool off, the stunning backdrop for our first look, helping to arrange the seating and tables or the photo shoot at the bar, they gave us the run of the place with our best interests at heart. We felt like celebrities, but more importantly, we felt seen and supported. ​I suggested they could say they "put the elope in Jackalope," but for us, they put the heart in it. It was flawless, honest, and truly unforgettable.”

“The Morada was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. As soon as we pulled up we knew it was the right place. The accommodations were sparkling clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The kitchen in the main house is thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked, which made our stay even more homey. It's not cold and thoughtless like a lot of AirBnb's these days— it feels like someone's treasured home that's so well cared for and cozy. There was a lack of closet space which made it a little tricky given we had a lot of formal wear to hang, but we made it work. The casita is also well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. The owners allowed us to customize the space a bit to our liking, and the extra house allowed us some much-needed privacy during our wedding weekend. The outdoors are breathtaking and the big, open sky is stunning. The sunsets and stars are like no other— it feels like you have the desert to yourself. We enjoyed short hikes on the property, and there is plenty of outdoor seating to rest and relax in the shade. The bonfires at night were a great addition when it got a bit chilly and for some added romantic atmosphere. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was— and while perfection wasn't our goal, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebration of our love. I'd be remiss to not mention Pablo and Devon specifically, who were incredibly helpful throughout the process, but especially in the weeks and days leading up to the event. Devon helped us navigate any logistical questions or challenges, including everything from a significant amount of package deliveries to requests for extra clothes hangers. We encountered an unprecedented rainstorm the day after our event, and Pablo helped us move our rentals under the porch to avoid any damage fees. Every time we looked up from our to-do list, Pablo and Devon were busy getting the grounds ready for us while simultaneously somehow staying out of the way of the main action. They were like our fairy godparents. I cannot thank them enough for their labor which contributed greatly to everything running smoothly. I highly recommend using a day-of planner or coordinator to help navigate the vendors— our amazing planner, Yu and Us, stepped in to do this and it helped us focus on other details while the groundwork of the party was laid out. We mostly used vendors recommended by the venue as it is a unique location that requires some extra logistics. We held 3 events— a welcome dinner & Paebaek (Korean tea ceremony), the wedding, and a brunch— all outside, and all special in their own ways. We also stayed an extra night, Wednesday through Monday, which I can't recommend enough so you can soak in the beauty of the space and the desert as long as possible. As a lesbian interracial couple, we never received even the slightest hint of judgement or negativity from anyone we interacted with. We're grateful to have experienced a space that felt safe for queer people, both for ourselves and our guests. There wasn't a moment where we didn't feel welcome and celebrated. Thank you to the Morada team for an unforgettable week!”

Acres Landing / to getaway and gather for sanctuary and celebrations! One of the best things about Acres Landing is that you can have your event past 10pm outdoors, which is something that is very difficult to find in Palm Springs proper!  Music can officially be played at our venue until 12am; we just have to turn off any outdoor speakers at 10pm.  With the back doors of our small Clubhouse open to the venue, the volume in our imagined dancing space, the Pavilion, is full event volume!  Bands can go until 10pm, and DJs can go until 12am.  We have no cap on the amount of pieces you can have in a band. We require a buyout of our amazing vintage campers, along with a venue fee.
