Top 8 Wedding Venues in Palm Springs for a Stylish, Laid-Back Couple
If you're dreaming of tying the knot in Palm Springs, you already know it offers more than sunshine and cacti. This desert oasis blends mid-century modern cool with natural beauty and breezy vibes—perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel stylish, but still relaxed.
As a wedding planner who’s worked all across Southern California, I’ve seen it all—from barefoot ceremonies in the sand to cocktail hours in sleek art-deco courtyards. If you're in the early stages of planning (or just deep in the venue-stalking spiral), here are my go-to Palm Springs wedding venues that deliver personality, beauty, and flexibility.
Drift Palm Springs
Vibe: Modern, minimalist, effortlessly cool
Why I love it: Drift is the kind of venue that makes a statement without trying too hard. Clean lines, desert tones, and a focus on architectural simplicity make it perfect for couples who want something modern, but still warm and intimate. It’s especially great for full weekend takeovers or laid-back welcome parties by the pool.
💡 Pro tip: Use the space to create distinct moments—a courtyard ceremony, a cocktail hour by the pool, and a dinner under the stars. This is where intentional design thrives.
2. The Parker Palm Springs
Vibe: Iconic, luxe, and unapologetically bold
Why I love it: The Jonathan Adler design is an editorial dream, and the lush gardens give you that tucked-away feel—even in the middle of Palm Springs. It's a top pick for couples who want a splash of drama with their vows.
💡 Pro tip: Consider booking out the entire space if you want full control over flow and exclusivity.
3. Korakia Pensione
Vibe: Intimate, romantic, boho-Mediterranean escape
Why I love it: Feels like you’ve escaped to Morocco or the Greek isles. With its candlelit courtyards, citrus trees, and old-world charm, it's the ideal backdrop for smaller weddings with an editorial edge.
💡 Pro tip: This venue shines at night. Consider a dusk ceremony and moody lighting to play up the ambiance.
4. Ace Hotel & Swim Club
Vibe: Cool, quirky, artsy
Why I love it: If you want your wedding to feel more like a stylish pool party than a stiff sit-down dinner, this is your place. It's unfussy and fun—but still totally photogenic.
💡 Pro tip: Book the Commune space for more flexibility and a cohesive indoor-outdoor vibe.
5. The Colony Palms Hotel
Vibe: Chic, old Hollywood, garden glam
Why I love it: It’s got major "hidden gem" energy. Think rich jewel tones, Spanish tile, and palm-shaded courtyards. It’s intimate, luxe, and walk-through-worthy.
💡 Pro tip: This one works beautifully for weddings under 100 guests. Intention over size wins here.
6. Casa Cody
Vibe: Historic charm meets barefoot elegance
Why I love it: One of Palm Springs' oldest properties, it blends relaxed vintage vibes with updated beauty. The property feels like your stylish friend’s backyard—if their backyard had mountain views and adobe casitas.
💡 Pro tip: Book out all the rooms so guests can stay onsite. Makes for a relaxed, multi-day experience.
7. The Lautner Compound
Vibe: Mid-century desert modern with design-forward edge
Why I love it: This place is a statement. Clean lines, earthy textures, and architectural character. If you care about aesthetics and want something non-cookie-cutter, this is your playground.
💡 Pro tip: Hire a planner (hi, that’s me) early for this one. It’s a blank slate, but the right team can bring it to life beautifully.
8. The Saguaro Palm Springs
Vibe: Bold, colorful, and full of personality
Why I love it: This venue is pure fun. It’s not for the shy couple—it’s for those who want color, energy, and an unforgettable weekend with their crew.
💡 Pro tip: If you’re doing a destination wedding, this is a great way to give guests the full Palm Springs experience without bouncing around.
