Facilities and Capacity

Sacred Sands is a triumph of contemporary architecture, effortlessly echoing its rugged environs whilst conjuring a chic, modern atmosphere. Inside dark sand-worn woods and Moroccan textures combine with polished concrete floors and adobe-style strawbale-constructed walls. The effect is sparse and minimalist in design, yet rich in texture and deep in its natural color palette. Couples can exchange vows in the property’s ceremony circle, with the craggy hills of the protected Mojave as their backdrop. This boho chic space can accommodate an extensive guest list of 100 loved ones and can feature an iron or deadwood arbor to frame the ceremony. As night falls the courtyard provides an exceptional reception space, lit by the faint rays of the setting sun and tasteful string lighting so couples don't have to worry about renting any lighting. There is also a cocktail patio with firepits, wine barrel Adirondack chairs, and a stylish outdoor bar. Sacred Sands also has a large indoor ballroom with a fireplace and indoor bar, perfect for dancing with no dance floor required.

Sacred Sands is an exclusive venue, and features four stylish rooms for guests to experience. They feature outdoor terraces, deluxe linens, coffee/tea, mini-fridges, robes/slippers, and outdoor tubs and showers along with private stargazing beds. There is an emphasis on zen and relaxation throughout the property, and as such there are no televisions in the rooms. Instead, guests are invited to listen to our records or switch off and enjoy their time in the calm stillness of the Joshua trees. There is ample parking available on-site (45 spots with parking attendant included).

Services Offered

The staff of Sacred Sands draws on 35+ years of combined events experience to ensure the success of each big day they host. They offer event planning services which include the ala carte organization of outside vendors if required by couples. The staff is happy to provide a catalog of furniture rentals including tables, chairs, ceremony runner rugs, mason jars, beer/wine, climate control, draping, and more!

✨✨ 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!

Absolutely perfect & gorgeous!

One of the best parts of our wedding day was our absolutely amazing experience with this stunning venue. The owners are exceedingly communicative, helpful & kind and just all around cool. The location is so beautiful it barely needs decoration at all. And the rooms that come with the venue rental are some of my favorite I’ve ever stayed in! We will be back just to stay there we loved it so much!

Owner & Events Producer

I have nearly 20 years of professional event planning experience and it was a lifelong dream of mine to own and operate a venue. I discovered Sacred Sands thru planning my own Joshua Tree wedding. I toured many venues and saw ways I could improve them to the point I knew I had to acquire a venue of my own. Sacred Sands is a hallowed place I have venerated for many years and am so blessed to now call my own. I'm known for being able to work with anyone. I'm very detail oriented and production minded. We welcome everyone under the sun and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting your wedding or event!

Sincerely,

-Kaylee
