Hands down the best on all fronts

I cannot fave enough about this venue and their incredible staff. The wedding and events manager, Robbie, was so responsive to all our questions and request during the entire wedding planning process. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to efficiently respond and assure you have the most spectacular and seamless day.

Our guests were so impressed with the bar and waiting staff, there was never an empty glass and everyone felt like they were getting special treatment. The chef was also a superstar, the food absolutely rocked.

It is rare to find a venue that delivers on all fronts - views/amenities, food quality, service quality and planning/management.

I recommend Desert Willow and Robbie Lomes for day of coordination time and time again!!!

Winter Wonderland Wedding

Our wedding on 12-15-23 at desert willow was magical! All of our guests had such a great time! They raved about the food, cocktails, and of course the amazing venue set up and views!
We got Robbie as our wedding coordinator and we could not recommend her enough! She was very helpful to us during the whole process. She set up all the decor for us and it was exactly how I envisioned out special day to look! Definitely book with all the lovely people at this resort, you won't be disappointed!
