Schedule

Arrival Dinner

5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

From 5pm to 8pm, the bride and groom will be having a small rehearsal dinner with our immediate family. During this time, we encourage you to head into downtown Palm Springs—just steps away from the resort—for a delicious dinner with your crew. It'll be Friday night so we encourage making a reservation in advance of travel! If you’re in the mood for casual, kitschy, mid-century vibes, reserve a spot at Lulu’s. For a taste of old Hollywood glamour (think Sinatra and martinis), Melvyn’s Steakhouse is the way to go. If you’re craving a modern, farm-to-table experience, make a reservation at Farm. And if you’re channeling your inner cranky old Jewish man like Matt, take a stroll over to Sherman's Deli for a classic pastrami sandwich and matzo ball soup. If you’d rather keep it low-key and cozy after a day by the pool, Harriett’s at Casa Cody offers a limited menu for those wanting to stay close to home. Enjoy!

Welcome Party

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Palm Springs Cocktail Wear

After everyone gets settled in, please come join us for welcome drinks at the hotel. We encourage you to have fun with your ‘fit! Palm Springs cocktail wear is polished but relaxed, with a bit of retro flair. Think bright colors, bold prints, or soft desert tones, paired with simple, stylish accessories. The vibe is easy, effortlessly dressed up—very 1960s Hollywood. For women: breezy dresses or modern kaftans (not your grandma’s). For men: lightweight suits or open-collar shirts.

Pool Party

10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Swimwear / whatever you can do a cannonball in

Join us at the pool for some fun in the sun before we say our I Do's. Fastest down the slip'n'slide gets an extra piece of cake!

Ceremony

4:15 pm - 5:00 pm

Garden party formal - please keep in mind we will be outdoors in the desert heat so dress accordingly

Join us in matrimony as we exchange vows and seal the deal with a kiss - don't worry, we won't be offended if you place bets on how quickly Mathew will start crying.

Cocktail Hour

5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Enjoy a LIBATION by the pool while we transition from the ceremony to the reception. I don't know, we guess people do these things.

Reception

6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Kick off your heels and loosen those ties!

Formal dinner followed by dancing under the stars. As Matt loves to say, DON'T FORGET TO DRINK WATER!

After Party at the TIKI LOUNGE HOAHOA

10:00 pm - 11:45 pm

Palm Springs has a noise curfew of 10PM, so for those that want to keep the party going, we'll be heading over to Bootlegger Tiki Lounge for silly drinks with silly straws
