Why Getting Married in Palm Springs Might Be the Best Decision You Make
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but choosing where to get married? That’s a big one. If you’re dreaming of sunshine, laid-back vibes, and killer photo backdrops, let us introduce (or reintroduce) you to Palm Springs. This desert gem is way more than just retro hotels and pool floats—though those are pretty great, too. Here’s why so many couples are saying “I do” in the Coachella Valley, and loving every second of it.
1. The Scenery Is Straight-Up Gorgeous
Palm Springs has that dreamy desert light that photographers obsess over. Whether you’re into bold mountain views, palm trees swaying in the breeze, or a cactus-studded garden, this place delivers. And let’s not forget the architecture—mid-century modern everything, vintage doors, breeze block walls. It’s an Instagram dream and makes for seriously unforgettable wedding photos.
2. The Weather’s a No-Brainer
Want to avoid the weather gamble? Palm Springs practically guarantees sunshine, especially from fall through spring. No sudden rain showers, no muddy lawns, no stressing over a backup tent plan. Just golden light and warm desert air that’s perfect for an outdoor ceremony or a candlelit reception under the stars.
3. The Venues Have Personality
Skip the cookie-cutter banquet hall. In Palm Springs, you can get married at a Moroccan-inspired boutique hotel, a cool modernist estate, a private desert ranch, or even a funky art-filled Airbnb. Whether you’re going for elegant and intimate or full-on desert party, you’ll find something with real character and charm.
4. It’s a Destination Without the Drama
You get all the perks of a destination wedding—sunshine, pool days, palm trees—without asking your guests to fly halfway across the world. Palm Springs is just a couple hours from L.A., with an easy-to-navigate airport right in town. Plus, there’s so much for guests to do: hiking in Joshua Tree, exploring vintage shops, lounging poolside with a cocktail in hand. It’s a wedding and a vacation.
5. It’s Warm, Welcoming, and Inclusive
Palm Springs has long been a safe, affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community, and that energy spills over into everything—from the vendors to the venues to the vibe. It’s a place where couples of all kinds are celebrated, and love is always the focus. No weird looks, no judgment—just good vibes and support all around.
