We were married here yesterday and it was the best! Robbie was incredibly helpful coordinating, making recommendations, and making the wedding planning process as seamless as it can be. The venue is gorgeous and truly more spectacular IRL. The food was amazing - so many of our guests let us know that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Wouldn’t chance a thing about the day!

Absolutely amazing
My husband and I have not a single regret about our wedding at Desert Willow. We are in awe at how attentive and accommodating the staff were. What a stunning venue. So many guests were raving for days later at the meals and the view from the terrace. Everything was perfect.

Our Wedding Experience
From the beginning of booking this venue to the BIG DAY it was just magical. Robbie and Natalie literally were a huge help and were always available to answer questions. Robbie was our wedding planner and she is truly simply amazing!!! She made sure our big day was magical. Our guest loved the views of the venue and were extremely satisfied with how great and delicious the food was. They could not stop talking about how great it was to have experienced such a magical day at desert willows celebrating love. To Robbie, Natalie and the staff at desert willows thank you so much for making our big day such a wish come true. Book your wedding here! You will not regret it. Amazing venue but far more amazing people that work here.

Robbie and her team did a fantastic job putting everything together, helping with the details and making our day just perfect. We've had several events there and would schedule more.

Amazing venue!
This was the most beautiful, amazing venue I've ever seen. The backdrop and scenery were amazing. The wedding ceremony out on the lawn and the ballroom was perfect for the reception. Everything went perfectly, Robbie was very helpful throughout the whole night and we didn't even need to hire a wedding planner! I am so pleased with the whole night and the pictures. The food was outstanding and the whole team was friendly and made you feel very special. Everyone said it was probably the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Would highly recommend.

Desert Willow Golf Resort
Can not say enough good things about this venue and the event coordinator Robbie. We planned everything long distance and Robbie or her asst. Natalie always returned calls promptly and listened to our needs. The wedding ceremony and Dinner were everything we could have asked for. Vendors they suggested were all top notch. The setting on the golf course was spectacular. Could not recommend them more highly.

The Perfect Day
This venue was absolutely stunning and Robbie and her staff did an incredible job making my dream wedding come to fruition. The day was flawless and everyone could not get over how amazing the venue was and the delicious food! Would 100% recommend this venue and working with Robbie as the wedding coordinator made my day stress-free and just perfect!
Finding a venue and coordinator that works for everyone’s needs is extremely stressful. Our family has been coming to relax at the Desert Willow Resort for years. When my daughter got engaged, I suggested the Desert Willow Golf Resort. The views are stunning, and their food is so delicious. Most importantly Robbie Lomes was the event coordinator. Robbie’s professional services of coordinating, making adjustments, requesting special foods, providing helpful suggestions, and giving us emotional support was the key to making everything fantastic and my daughter’s lifetime dream come true. Her knowledge and experience made the event stress free. She gave us a list of recommended talented vendors that we could pick from. Robbie and Natalie held our hands during the process of planning. Robbie even had connections so we could provide Kosher meals to some of our guests that required it. Because Robbie was so gifted, my daughter’s wedding was spectacular! I’m so happy and proud to have hosted such a beautiful and amazing wedding! Thank you!

Hidden gem
We absolutely loved getting married at Desert Willow Golf Resort! My husband and I often travel to Palm Desert for vacation and this venue captured the beauty of the desert perfectly. Robbie was very responsive and easy to get in contact with as well, we highly recommend this venue!

Robbie Lomes was an absolute pleasure to work with. She worked with us to help to create a magical experience. She worked incredibly hard throughout the entire process and through the night of the wedding. The venue was perfect for taking advantage of the spectacular desert and great views. Robbie worked incredibly well with our wedding planner to create a magical evening for us.

Amazing experience!
I had the most stress-free experience working with Desert Willow! Robbie, our wedding coordinator, along with her assistant, Natalie, were such great help to us and great people! Robbie was very attentive to my needs and maintained flexibility throughout the entire process ( which was very appreciated!).
Our reception looked better than we could have imagined! Natalie, Robbie and the event staff perfected our vision seamlessly! We are so blessed to have found Desert Willow Golf Resort! Robbie, we can not thank you enough! Not only did we stay within our budget but Desert Willow also helped us maximize our vision without breaking our bank accounts so much that we were able to extend our honeymoon stay in the British West Indies!
Thank you all!

Five Stars for Desert Willow & Robbie Lomes!
Desert Willow was one of the venues we initially considered for our wedding. One week after we got engaged, and before we looked at any other venue, we met with Robbie Lomes (Desert Willow's catering director and venue coordinator). She gave us a tour of the property and we discussed all of what Desert Willow offers in its wedding packages. We knew we loved Robbie from the day we first met her. After seeing the other venue options, including hotels and private estates, our connection with Robbie sealed the deal for us and we chose Desert Willow. Robbie was kind, patient, flexible, reasonable, efficient and funny. She answered each of our (many) questions and she had great ideas about how to do the things we wanted. She provided a seamless, stress-free experience. Robbie is so much more than a venue coordinator, and any couple would be lucky to have her on their side during the arduous planning process. She will be your best friend - everything she does is perfect and everything she suggests is correct. Her recommended vendors are also very good. Robbie knows all the appropriate etiquette but she is not pushy. She answers calls and emails promptly, and best of all, the information she gives you is honest, straight-forward, and clear. Robbie should get an award for BEST at everything related to wedding production. Aside from Robbie, Desert Willow is gorgeous, reasonably priced, and overall amazing. It is also relatively inclusive - you won't need to rent linens, furniture, dishware, flatware, etc. They offer all the good stuff you want, including Chiavari chairs, beautiful chargers and linens for the place settings of your dreams, table numbers and stands, an arch for your ceremony and Robbie will help you find anything else your heart desires. If you are getting married soon, don't sleep on Desert Willow. When you choose Desert Willow, Robbie will be the godsend wedding wizard you didn't even know you needed. She is incredible and we can't say enough good things about her. Same for Desert Willow.

100% outstanding
The Desert Willow Event and Food/Beverage Staff was probably one of the most professional and hands on group of people I have worked with in 20 years. At every turn they offered their assistance, always with a smile. The Event Manager and Captains consistently checked in with me prior and during event to be sure things were going smoothly making the wedding so much more manageable and fun. Desert Willow also has a fabulous Lighting and DJ Connection who worked with both Bride and me on design and ambiance of room. Guests LOVED the music as indicated on a dance floor that was never empty. DJ completely read the room! If asked to do another wedding in the area it will be my first stop and my first recommendation! Not to mention the beauty of the venue! Thanks Robbie and Staff.

Desert Willow was perfect!
We knew we wanted to have our wedding at Desert Willow after meeting the wedding coordinator Robbie Lomes. She was quick to respond when we wanted to tour the venue and after meeting her we knew we would be in good hands choosing Desert Willow. The venue itself is gorgeous with different types of landscaping for photos.
Robbie was fabulous to work with, she was always available when we had questions and is quick to respond. She is organized, has lots of great ideas, and helped me destress during the planning period. She also knows lots of great vendors with experience that she can recommend.
Our wedding flowed so smoothly, our guests complimented everything, and we loved how our big day turned out perfect for us! We would choose Desert Willow again and again!

Had the BEST experience at Desert Willow! Robbie (venue coordinator) was amazing throughout - always available and quick to respond and incredibly kind and accommodating. We felt so taken care of on our wedding day and it was essentially perfect. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue and staff. As much as I don’t want to plan another wedding again (haha), I would gladly do so if it meant working with this venue/coordinator! :)

Desert Willow Golf Resort
Desert Willows's food was amazing, hats off to the chef! The filet and shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the cocktail hour apps were wonderful. The servers were professional, and there were plenty of them, we didn't have to go find one if we had a question. The icing on the cake was Robbie our Coordinator, she was detailed down to the favors on the napkins. When we picked up our wedding items on Sunday, she had everything perfectly packed just the way we took them in, plus watered our flowers! The cake knife was even back in the box it came in! She did not leave out any details when it came to returning everything back to us.

Gorgeous Palm Desert Tropical Wedding
We were looking for a unique, outdoor venue with great views that could host between 200 and 250 people. The Desert Willow Golf Resort was recommended to us, so we showed up a few hours before our flight (without an appointment), and Robbie accommodated our visit, gave us a tour, painted the vision for us, and we had committed to a date before leaving that day! Not living in the area, communication was everything! Robbie was incredibly prompt and responsive over email. We had a couple customized requests that she took note of and accommodated. She provided excellent vendor recommendations, and we had a fantastic team. And during the event, she was very flexible with a few last minute requests that we made!
The venue itself is stunning! We used the Event Lawn for our ceremony and the Lakeview Terrace for our reception, and it was the perfect non-traditional ambience and vibe that we were seeking.
Finally, the food was excellent. We were worried about how they would accommodate that many people, but they served in a timely matter, and I received several positive (unsolicited) comments on the food!
Overall, fantastic experience, and I would recommend this venue and staff to a friend!

October 2022 Wedding
We had our wedding at Desert Willow in the Fall of 2022. We searched the Coachella Valley for wedding venues and Desert Willow was immediately our favorite. Although, Desert Willow didn’t have accommodates immediately onsite, its proximity to a full service resort across the street sealed the deal!
Desert Willow was able to accommodate our 180 guests for the ceremony held on the lawn, and both our cocktail hour and reception on the outdoor patios. The flow from ceremony to reception was seamless and the mountain view backdrop (especially at sunset) was breathtaking!
Robbie, Natalie, and their entire team brought our vision to life and suggested things we didn’t even know were possible. Robbie’s vendor recommendation list was a gold mine! Each recommendation was better than the next - we loved how each vendor was able to work with Robbie and her team so well. Her lighting contractor recommendation was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in creating a show stopping event!
Humble brag - months after our wedding we are still getting compliments from our guests that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to!
Thank you Robbie and your team for everything to make our whole experience so special!

Exceptional and 5 Stars!!!
We just want to Thank, Robbie Lomes and her staff for doing a phenomenal job, at hosting our wedding!!! It was a Jewish, Mexican and Spanish wedding, with representation of all three together, in decor, food and beverages. Hats off to the chef for his ability to prepare Spanish paella, vegetarian paella, salmon plates and superb Margaritas!!!
The vendors which Robbie suggested, were all exceptional. We most definitely, recommend this Golf Resort, to host your wedding or any other type of function.
L’Chaim & Salud to Robbie and the entire staff at Desert Willow Golf Resort!!!
🇮🇱🇲🇽🇪🇸❤️💜🌈

Absolutely incredible! Best day ever!
Desert Willow was absolutely amazing. Robbie was so easy to work with and so helpful and responsive when we had questions. She allowed us to set up the tables for our reception outside on the grass in the most perfect way and guests raved of the DJ and the amazing string lights (thank you Joe and XIL productions)!! The food was GREAT, we chose the salmon and the steak for our guests and they were even able to accommodated to some of our little guests with butter noodles. The process was so smooth and lovely. My husband and I could not be more thankful we got married in such a beautiful place!! Thank you Robbie and everyone at Desert Willow for assisting with our dream day!!

I’d like to start off by saying that I have received tons of comments on the food that it was delicious! Also Robbie my coordinator was so
helpful and super flexible with everything I needed! It truly was a dream come true and I would 100%
