We respectfully ask that all attendees be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and/or obtain a negative PCR test within 72 hours of our big day. We are carefully monitoring local developments regarding Covid-19. Palm Springs has mandated local Safety Requirements which can be seen at the following link: https://www.palmspringsca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/7383/23 Our Ceremony + Reception as well as the Welcome Drinks are being held outdoors. The After Party is being held at an indoor/outdoor bar that requires all patrons to submit proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours.
Please RSVP by July 15th directly on our website under the RSVP tab.
The entire wedding will be held outdoors. The Ceremony + Reception will be in an open air courtyard + the Cocktail Hour will be in a shaded area to provide some relief from the sun. Dinner is planned for sunset when the temperature will start to cool off. There are several areas to mingle throughout the evening + there are full bathrooms at the venue so don't worry about any porta-potties here!
Think flowy + lightweight fabrics, cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, jackets + slacks, etc. Anything goes, have fun with desert hues, bright colors, patterns + accessories, but please leave the jeans + shorts for another day -- it's still a wedding after all! Keep in mind it will be a hot, dry + sunny day so wear what makes you feel comfortable + chic!
As the venue is in the desert + outdoors, some surfaces are dirt/grass + may be uneven. We would recommend leaving the stilettos at home in favor of block heels, wedges, etc.
The 30-day outlook says it'll be in the 95-105 degree range (dry heat) for the weekend, but last year it hit 110 degrees on Sept 18 -- so please plan accordingly! The venue has shaded areas + we will be providing a lot of beverage options to keep guests hydrated. At night, the temperature may dip down to the mid 60's, so you may want to pack an extra layer depending on your outfit for the day.
We are registered directly on Zola -- you can find the link under the Registry tab.
We have provided two discount codes for hotel rooms under the Travel + Lodging tab -- one is closer to the venue (Desert Hot Springs) + the other is closer to downtown (Palm Springs). Be sure to book before August 1st to qualify for the discounted rate.
Guests will be admitted to the venue starting at 4pm + doors will be closed at the start of the ceremony (at 4:30pm), so please arrive early to pick a seat + enjoy refreshments.
Getting to the venue: For those who wish to drive, there is plenty of street parking available surrounding the venue. We recommend using Uber/Lyft to easily get to the venue as well. Leaving the venue: Shuttle buses will be provided to transport people back to the Aqua Soleil, V Palm Springs + Village Bar for after party hangs. *Please note Uber/Lyft rides are strictly prohibited for pick ups at the venue (to comply with local noise ordinance).
The venue has a strict 10pm curfew, BUT for those who wish to keep the party going, we will be providing transportation to The Village bar in downtown Palm Springs, where we can party on (until 2am when the bars close). **Please note -- as of now, the bar requires all patrons to submit proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours to enter. Since this is a bar, it is 21+, so don't forget to bring your ID.
