Sacred Sands can arrange in-person or virtual tours of our stunning venue! We boast an always-growing list of preferred vendors to help bring your wedding vision to life. We also provide an extensive preferred accommodations list to make it easier for guests to find additional lodging.
Designed by architect Janet Armstrong, our boho-chic venue is a straw bale-constructed hacienda with all the bespoke textures of Joshua Tree. Ceremonies may be held outdoors in our ceremony circle with tranquil and protected views of the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree National Park. When couples exchange vows, they will have the sunset beyond the horizon as a picturesque backdrop. The circle is also perfect for stargazing. Local astronomers with telescopes can be hired to guide your guests through the stars as the night ensues. As the zen environment turns to night, the reception dinner can be held outside in our reception courtyard or in our indoor ballroom for parties of 45 or less. Beautiful string and patio lights illuminate all the outdoor spaces, coupled with colorful uplighting.
Our romantic ballroom features 2 cascading chandeliers and high ceilings, complete with customizable club lighting and the best 360 views of Joshua Tree. For lodging, we have a honeymoon suite, a hotel room, and 2 bedrooms. With the accommodations come refreshing outdoor showers and heated outdoor tubs. (We have 3 indoor showers as well). The Moroccan-inspired and artfully interior-designed rooms have retro record players. Book our STR below Sacred Sands that sleeps 4 with a 200 yard boulder field! Perfect for getting ready photos. Sacred Sands has indoor and outdoor projection screens and a 4K projector for couples to share photos/video with guests.
In addition to our ceremony circle, reception courtyard, and ballroom, we have a sunset cocktail hour patio with a chiminea and parking for 45 cars. With our proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, it's easy to take newlywed or first-look photos in the park, or even have your ceremony or post-wedding brunch in JTNP. We can partner couples with local tour guides to incorporate activities in JTNP into the entire weekend. We also offer discounted rehearsal dinners and brunches.
