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.
