The Monical Open Golf Tournament
7:00 am - 1:00 pm
79940 Westward Ho Drive, Indio, CA 92201
Golf Attire!
Join us at Big Rock Golf Course in Indio for the inaugural Monical Open. A morning of friendly competition and hopefully very few lost balls. Tee times start at 7:30 AM. $135 per person. If you want in, text Griffin to reserve your tee time. 2089602615 We’ll have a Longest Drive Competition, Closest to the Pin, and a few other surprises along the way. Prizes? Probably. Bragging rights? Absolutely. Golfers of all skill levels are welcome! Come for the competition, stay for the inevitable excuses about why that last shot “doesn’t usually happen."

Our Wedding Ceremony + Reception
3:00 pm - 10:00 pm
51270 Jackson St, Coachella, CA 92236
Desert Formal
Think floor-length or elevated midi dresses, and suits with a button-down and tie and jacket. Embrace polished, warm-weather style with colors, textures, and silhouettes that feel at home in the desert. We’re aiming for elegant and celebratory, without going full black tie.
