We absolutely loved working with Mark and the team at The Saguaro. We had a destination wedding in early January with family and friends coming from Seattle & the East Coast. The location was great, food was delicious and it was the perfect place for our celebration. Will always bring a smile to our faces! Highly reccomend!

Great value, flexible and accommodating! We got the charcuterie board, desert kababs and late night nachos. The premium bar package plus regular and spicy guava margs - top notch!!

The best place to get married in Palm Springs!

We got married at The Saguaro on New Years Eve and it was an absolute blast! The venue is so fun, the ceremony and reception spaces were perfect, and the staff were amazing. Mark, the event manager, was super attentive and easy to work with. He helped us make some last minute changes due to weather and was cool throughout it all! And the bartender Ramon is the ultimate wedding bartender. The drinks were fire and flowing, and it was like he was part of the party! Those two especially helped make our wedding the party of the year, and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful as well. The restaurant El Jefe is a great spot for dinner and drinks, and the pool and hot tubs are the place to be all day. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town!

Low stress, excellent support, and excellent value!

We had our wedding at the saguaro and couldn't have asked for better from Mark Tinor and his team. They went above and beyond and proved ready for anything that arose before and during our wedding day. The taco bar buffet option was EXCELLENT and a huge hit with our guests. We had an extremely comfortable 60 guest wedding, with virtually no hiccups to speak of. Staff helped us test, validate, and tune all gear the day of the event. They checked in with us whenever there was a free moment to make sure everything was smooth. They're pros. To add to all this, this is without a doubt the best value place to get married in palm springs if you're having a normal ceremony + reception event. We checked so many different places. We were won over by the whole charm of this place.

If you get married here outdoors, they *will* turn any external event music off so you can have your processional music without having to worry about being drowned out. If you have any other concerns, Mark and his staff will do their absolute best to accommodate you. There were a couple of concerns that weren't the fault of the saguaro that we needed to figure out day of, and everyone put their heads down and figured it out. If you bring a solid plan, it's going to go smooth.

The flooring is a bit dated with some carpet stains from previous events. That's about the only negative I can draw. But even then, you're not staring at the floor when you get married. Don't overthink it. We have no regrets, and we are sure we would have had a worse experience at every other venue we checked out if we picked anywhere else than the Saguaro.

Thank you Mark!

We couldn't have asked for a better venue than The Saguaro for our destination wedding! This unique, colorful hotel perfectly captures the charm of old school Palm Springs while offering everything modern couples need.

Planning our wedding remotely could have been stressful, but The Saguaro made it effortless. Our contact Mark was absolutely phenomenal to work with—he answered every question quickly, was incredibly accommodating with our budget, and went above and beyond to throw in special touches that made our day and entire stay even more memorable. He was present throughout the entire event to ensure everything ran smoothly, which gave us complete peace of mind.

The food was outstanding! After our tasting, we provided some feedback, and the culinary team implemented every single change flawlessly. Our guests are still raving about the meal. We also can’t say enough about the margaritas, easily some of the best in the area!

Every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to help make our celebration special. The resort amenities kept our guests entertained throughout the entire weekend, making it feel like a true destination experience.

From a budget perspective, The Saguaro was incredibly reasonable compared to other Palm Springs venues—low space rental costs and no minimum room block requirement made it accessible without sacrificing quality or beauty.

If you're looking for a vibrant, charming, and affordable Palm Springs wedding venue with an exceptional team, The Saguaro is the perfect choice!

12.31.23 - Such a beautiful New Year's Eve Wedding and Celebration!

We were so very pleased with the wedding venue and services we received at The Saguaro. From Mark Tinor (Catering Sales Manager) to the event captains, chefs, bartenders, servers, to the staff who unlocked doors for us, the team that assisted with clean-up, all were so kind, humble, professional, and unassuming. The contracts were clear, precise, and modified to our satisfaction as needed. The Saguaro team supported us throughout the process to bring our New Year's Eve Wedding Vision to a stunning reality. Thank you. Julie

Talk about a VIBE

The Saguaro Palm Springs made our destination wedding weekend a literal dream. Their Events staff was beyond a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They offered an excellent site/food and beverage package which worked perfectly within our budget. The property itself was so fun, unique and beautiful. We had a ton of friends and family stay at the hotel throughout the entire wedding weekend, and everyone is still raving about how much fun they had... not only during the wedding, but throughout their stay. The vibe was just incredible. Laid back but still a little fancy. Absolutely perfect for a fun couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding experience. I couldn’t recommend them more highly, and we can't wait to come back to visit! Oh, and "The Saguaro Suite..." BOOK THAT ROOM! Wow, it was beautiful and great for photos!

Coolest. Wedding. EVER.

From moment one of dealing with the Saguaro, we felt at ease. They were extremely accommodating, very communicative, and helped us stay within our budget - a rarity in the wedding industry. Their goal from the beginning was for our wedding to be stress-free, and they made it just that. The venue was the laid-back vibe that we wanted, and it made for absolutely incredible photos. We had our ceremony on the Jacinto Lawn and our reception in the Palmetto and Patio, and it was absolutely perfect. The setup was to the letter. The food was plentiful and delicious. Many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they’d been to in years. We’re biased, but we agree! We had an incredible day. Thank you so, so much to Jessica, Stephany, and the rest of the Saguaro team. We could not have made a better choice for our venue!

Our perfect day was met with perfect service by The Saguaro team!

We held our wedding at The Saguaro Palm Springs on October 20th and had 71 guests. The hotel provided us with excellent service and the entire staff made our special day/night a huge success. I can't think of anything they did that was less than excellent. We did this WITHOUT a wedding planner and it still went super smooth. Good job, Saguaro team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
