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 Nt'l Park. When couples exchange vows, they can choose to have the sun setting beyond the horizon as a picturesque backdrop. The circle is also perfect for stargazing. Local astronomers with telescopes can be hired to journey 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, hotel room and 2 bedrooms. With the accommodations come refreshing outdoor showers and heated outdoor tubs so guests can bathe al fresco. (We have 3 indoor showers as well). The Moroccan inspired and artfully interior designed rooms have retro record players. Sacred Sands has indoor and outdoor projection screens and a 4K projector for couples to share stills/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.

We can partner couples with local tour guides to incorporate activities in JTNP into the entire weekend. We also offer discounted rehearsal dinners.

✨✨ Spectacular, Spectacular ✨✨

Honestly, planning the wedding from over 100 miles away, we were basing our choices on photos. Sacred sands was in the top 3 venues to host our intimate Indian wedding. Upon visiting all of the sites, we were so pleased when pulled up to the venue. Keith met us and showed us around, the ceremony site has the perfect backdrop for the most gorgeous and scenic photos. Our ceremony photos were spectacular and no other venue could give us the same mountain range with a winter sunset like Sacred Sands did. During the planning process Kaylee assisted with all questions we had, with the utmost patience and understanding. Both Keith and Kaylee understand that they are playing a part in the planning of your special day and they keep to their word of everything they say they can do. Working in the hospitality industry, I understand how many last minute incidents can occur and like any other special event, we had an incident occur and they were able to rectify it and even make it look better than it had originally was supposed to look. The reception site didn’t need much decor as the natural beauty was so well preserved and they already have string lights above in the courtyard. We had our parents and our day of coordinator stay on property in the bedrooms. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was so impressed by the rooms and the patios, that they were jealous they couldn’t stay there. The beds were so comfortable, there was more than enough room for my mom to have her grandchildren nap with her. The day after, when we were checking out, we were not rushed, we weren’t hurried out. Keith was there to assist us in loading up and making sure that all looked good. All in all, everything turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful that we were able to have sacred sands as our site to start our journey as Husbands.

If you don’t have your wedding here, you’re missing out!

If you want to get married in Joshua Tree, you absolutely have to do it here. Don’t even bother touring other venues. The property itself is so amazingly beautiful that you won’t even want to spend any money on additional decor! The property is laid out so perfectly for a wedding! Every single one of my guests was in awe of the location and the stunning views. The owners are so amazing. They are friendly and helpful and have excellent communication! There isn’t a single question they won’t answer for you. By the end of it, you’ll leave feeling like they’re your best friends. I literally can’t rave about Sacred Sands enough. It is worth every penny and then some! I am a happy bride!

Amazing venue in the heart of Joshua Tree

Sacred Sands is an amazing venue! As a wedding planner, I love recommending them to my clients. It is a beautiful “hidden gem” venue conveniently located right by the main entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. The owners Kaylee and Keith are so hardworking and their hospitality is top notch to make the place feel warm and welcoming for guests. If you’re seeking a unique, comfortable and beautiful wedding location in the heart of Joshua Tree, look no further!
