Garden Wedding

IWGR helped us have our dream wedding in under two months. Sharon was really great to work with and really takes pride in her work. My husband and I really enjoyed the food tasting. It was really nice to see how the cocktail apps would be presented to our guests as well as the food. IWGR Food is AMAZING!!! All of our guests raved about the food. The day of staff went above and beyond and really took care of us and our guests, from the bar staff to the wait staff. Our wedding was perfect thanks to my planning team and IWGR.

Gorgeous venue & amazing team!

The venue itself is gorgeous. The golf course is very well taken care of and they have newly renovated facilities. From our initial call with their team, we felt very supported and prioritized. Sharon is your main POC during the entirety of your planning process. She's kind and very easy to work with. Very clear and prompt with her communication. She is there to make your planning process as easy and stress-free and is happy to go the extra mile to ensure you are taken care of. I really appreciated her ability to lead us in the right direction based on her wealth of experience to guide us towards the wedding we described we wanted while also not stepping on any toes!

On your big day, Sharon passes the baton to the banquet manager, Robert, to lead in executing your event. I really can't speak highly enough of Robert and his team. Really just on top of his game and knows how to get the job done. Our wedding went off without a hitch and he made sure our special requests were executed! Not only was the IWGR team amazing the day of our wedding but was there to support the day before and after for drop off and picking up of items.

If you are considering IWGR for your wedding, I would go for it. We have not one piece of negative feedback to provide!

Best wedding venue

Our wedding at IWGR was one for the books. The staff was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive during our entire wedding planning process. From the venue tour, food tasting, and day of the wedding, our experience exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t be more grateful for all of their help and the venue was simply perfect. Wish we could relive that day all over again! If you’re looking for a venue in Indian Wells, this is it!

Could not recommend more!

We fell in love with IWGR as our venue on the first tour and wow did it turn out to be a perfect choice. First off - Sharon, IWGR’s coordinator, is the absolute best. She was always so responsive, flexible and easy to work with - so helpful! The service and food at IWGR is superior. We had an incredible food tasting that made for a fun memory. We held the rehearsal dinner at Kestrel in the clubhouse, it was not only gorgeous but top of the line service.
Throughout the two days, we received compliments left and right about the food, the quick service all around, and the incredible views.

Hands down the best day of our lives and a perfect choice for our big day!

Amazing Wedding

This venue was awesome. From the first time we called and set up appointment to the day of our daughters wedding, Sharon and everyone we encountered at IWGR was amazing. Very professional, response time was quick, Sharon was awesome with information regarding timing. Food and service was amazing! I can’t think of one thing I was unhappy with! We had a wind “event” about an hour before they walked down the aisle but we had our reception inside and ceremony outside. The wind stopped and the ceremony was stunning.

Stunning venue and amazing team!

We toured many wedding venues in the Palm Springs area but immediately knew IWGR was the one with its stunning views of the mountains and beautiful reception pavilion. We had our wedding at IWGR in late October and can't recommend it enough - the day was nothing short of spectacular! Our friends are still raving about the day 6 months later.
Special shout-out to Sharon, the on-site coordinator, who was there for us every step of the way, promptly answering all of our questions, no matter how big or small, and worked wonderfully together with our wedding planner to make sure the day was flawlessly executed.

Unforgettable

Sharon and the entire staff at Indian Wells Golf Resort went above and beyond to make our entire wedding planning and the day of perfect. I couldn’t recommend this place more. The desert holds such a special place in our hearts and our wedding reflected that with the help of the IWGR crew.

Best scenery, best staff, best food, best experience!

IWGR was an absolute dream for our big day! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but each person who works there is extremely kind and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

STAFF:
Sharon was a pleasure to work with. She was always patient when I asked a million questions, and she made sure to be available at all times. We really enjoyed having her help us throughout the wedding planning process.
Leslie was extremely helpful on the day of and was just a calming presence for all of us. She transported us to our different photo spots and even got me some ice when I got bit by a red ant while taking pictures. :')
The staff at the reception were truly the best. Each person was super accommodating and really made everyone feel at home. They were constantly checking in on my husband and me to make sure we had drinks, etc. We got quite a few compliments on the service, so it's great to know they were treating everyone with the same kind of care.

SCENERY:
IWGR has the best views of the desert mountains, along with all the pretty trees and flowers. During our ceremony, the sunlight was perfectly lined up and it just felt so magical! Everyone's pictures turned out beautifully.

FOOD:
The food was SO good. The beef short ribs and mashed potatoes were a huge hit. I actually had to stop eating halfway through my meal because there was so much food and I was getting stuffed lol. Everyone was talking about how delicious it was.

PRICE:
We live in OC but decided to look for venues in the the desert after discovering that none of the places we liked in our area were in our price range. We were shocked when we first visited IWGR and saw how beautiful everything is, even when you first step foot into the lobby. We visited another golf resort that day, which was just a few minutes away and had pretty much the same price point. We had such high expectations after seeing IWGR, and let me tell you, the other place wasn't even close... For the price, I really don't think you can get any better.

BRIDAL SUITE:
One of THE best parts (not just for the bride!). It's basically like a little apartment, and we were about to fit about 15 people in there comfortably while getting ready. It was so nice for the whole wedding party to have our own space throughout the entire day and night. My husband and I also loved that we had 10 minutes to ourselves before the reception to snack on appetizers and relax in the suite.

OVERALL:
We truly couldn't have asked for better. Thank you to Sharon and the rest of the team for making our day perfect!

Amazing Venue!!

Indian Well Gulf Resort is a magical place for a wedding and reception. We had great service, great food, and a stunning view. Sharon and her team are fantastic to work with; they are organized, kind, and clearly like what they do. Each member went out of their way to give us the most amazing day and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Sharon is patient and knowledgeable and responded to all of our questions, she was wonderful to work with. The pavilion is quiet and private and even comes with a bridal suite, giving the bride and wedding party a private place, our wedding party was able to cheers and have a moment before the wedding began. We had a wonderful wedding thanks to Sharon and her team! They even sent us out on the gulf cart so we could get amazing pictures!

The most EPIC wedding!

This place is a hidden gem! Indian Wells Golf Resort provided the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding. On-site coordinator, Sharon, was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She was responsive and stayed patient with the million questions we had throughout the planning process. Sharon did an incredible job and worked incredibly well with our Wedding Planner and the rest of our vendors to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. Special shoutout to Leslie who assisted with day-of logistics and Henry, who is in charge of banquets and the incredible staff at IWGR. Because of you, we had the most epic wedding celebration!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
