About

Jackalope Ranch is a hidden desert oasis—an all-inclusive, rustic-chic venue surrounded by lush landscaping and serene water features. It offers the feeling of escaping the desert without ever leaving Indio.

What truly sets Jackalope Ranch apart is the atmosphere. Flowing water features, mature greenery, and open-air spaces create a naturally romantic environment that feels intimate, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful.

The venue blends rustic textures—wood, stone, and natural elements—with intentional design, so it feels organic but still elevated. Couples love that the space already has so much character, meaning décor can be minimal while still feeling intentional and refined.

One of the biggest advantages of Jackalope Ranch is how seamlessly the event flows—from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Guests move naturally through the space, experiencing different moments while staying fully immersed in the setting.

Every corner of the property is photogenic—especially during golden hour and after sunset when the water features and lighting come alive. It’s a venue that photographs beautifully from start to finish.

Jackalope Ranch offers the convenience of an all-inclusive venue while still feeling personal and unique. Clients appreciate having a cohesive experience without the stress of coordinating multiple locations.

The open-air layout is ideal for live music or DJs, allowing events to feel energetic and celebratory while still maintaining a relaxed, comfortable ambiance for guests.

Created a grounded, authentic, attentive environment

I’ve spent a lot of my life looking at structures and solutions, but what happened at Jackalope Ranch for our wedding wasn't about the architecture of a building—it was about the architecture of a soul-level experience.
​We came into this day looking for something authentic and grounded, and what we found was a crew that didn't just "work" an event; they cared for us like family. Amidst record, unseasonably hot weather that could have easily derailed the outdoor spirit of the day, the staff ensured every moment felt effortless.
​Erinmary and Destiny were quiet anchors. We never had to look for them; they were simply there, anticipating needs before they were even spoken. Lillian and Gilbert are names we will carry with us for the way they treated us - we will say hi from now on when we see them. My friends and family haven't stopped talking about the food—several people told me it was the best they’ve ever had at any wedding, period. Even as someone who isn’t a drinker, I heard nothing but praise for the bartenders and the spirit they brought to the house.
​There is a weight to a day like this, a vulnerability in standing before those you love. Jackalope Ranch gave us the room to breathe. Whether it was the privacy of the events room to cool off, the stunning backdrop for our first look, helping to arrange the seating and tables or the photo shoot at the bar, they gave us the run of the place with our best interests at heart. We felt like celebrities, but more importantly, we felt seen and supported.
​I suggested they could say they "put the elope in Jackalope," but for us, thevy put the heart in it. It was flawless, honest, and truly unforgettable.
