Beautiful Mid-Century Backdrop to event

The lodging accommodations were "First Class" but the bonus was the ambiance and vibe the grounds offered to host our events! The historic mid-century look is NOT only found in Palm Springs, but in this great east Valley location of Indio. So easy for our catering team and a full bar area to serve up the BYOB cocktails (huge savings). Loved the freedom to choose our own vendors. The grounds offer a poolside entertainment area as well as a lush grassy location overlooking the area, providing many photo opportunities. Highly recommend and plan to book this place over and over again!

Spectacular!

Wow. This architecturally iconic home has been completely renovated and is beautiful! Epic views and plenty of space to host an intimate event. It was so helpful to have a built in bar and BBQ, fire pits and designed event areas. It was perfect, private and unforgettable for our guests.

Desert White House Dream Wedding !!!

We loved getting married at the Desert White House!!! It's a beautiful spot in the Coachella Valley and it feels like you have the mountains all to yourself when you're in the backyard. There's room for the entire wedding party to stay, beautiful spaces for getting ready, and the home's features feel other worldly. Plus, there's a top notch, accommodating team to help you all along the way. Wish we could married here over and over, but are so glad we did it once to remember forever.
