The Cree Estate is a unique and beautiful wedding venue based just outside of Palm Springs in Cathedral City, California. This luxurious desert wedding venue offers a long legacy of elegance, serving as an idyllic setting for your special day.

Facilities and Capacity

The Cree Estate was originally built in the 1930s by real estate developer Raymond Cree. This 5,000 square foot adobe estate also features two stand-alone guest houses, as well as a tennis court, sparkling pool, and luxury spa across the two-and-a-half acre property. Designed in a Spanish-Colonial revival style, this venue offers a classic California vibe that harkens back to old-world haciendas. Through the years, it has been visited by Hollywood’s elite, including Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnaz. This venue even has the celebrity wedding stamp of approval, as Christina Applegate and Jonathan Schaech were married here in 2001. Today, couples can tie the knot in the same place that once served as a beloved hideaway for legendary icons. Having undergone minimal renovations, the estate still maintains its original character; the vintage fireplaces, picturesque archways, and stunning courtyards combine to offer a unique, retro charm and a stunning backdrop for your special day.
