Beyond all of our wildest expectations!!
We were married at Desert Willow on April 5th, 2025. I cannot recommend getting married at Desert Willow enough. From the initial meetings with Robbie (who upon meeting her, we were sold on DW), to the scheduling/questions we had, to the tasting, to the day of, I cannot believe how seamless, fun and collaborative Robbie and every staff member at DW was.
Some highlights:
1. ROBBIE!!! Our queen. This wedding would not have happened without her. She is a huge reason we chose DW. She responded to our emails and questions SO QUICKLY and PROMPTLY. She answered any and every question we had. She met us at DW every time we went. She is ON IT! I did not have a single worry that any detail would be forgotten. She is proactive and really controls the day of coordinating in the best way. She is also kind, warm and funny which puts you at ease. Our timeline went perfectly down to the minute. Food served on time, apps on time, drinks on time etc..
2. Food/bar/packages etc. The food was AMAZING. Everyone has reached out to us to tell us. The bar/drinks were amazing. Packages are easy to understand and Robbie really works with you to make sure you can pick and choose what you want. Cost is reasonable.
3. Venue: The entire venue is gorgeous and it's easy for your guests to get from place to place. There's lots of different places for pictures.
Our guests gave us the best feedback and said they had the best time. We cannot believe how well our wedding went and we would not change a single thing.
Robbie- thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!!! You are the best and you MADE the day.We were married at Desert Willow on April 5th, 2025.

Would do it all over again at Desert Willow
I had a wonderful experience working with Robbie and the rest of the Desert Willow Team. They were extremely responsive, easy going, and had so much to offer.
The venue is beautiful, we got great feedback from our guests on the food (we were too excited to ear), and the cocktails were exceptional. We did two signature cocktails, an espresso martini and a spicy marg. Both 10/10.
Would choose Desert Willow all over again if I had the chance (which I won't, because I found my soul mate).I had a wonderful experience working with Robbie and the rest of the Desert Willow Team. They were extremely responsive, easy going, and had so much to offer.

Flawless day
Our experience with Desert Willow Golf Resort was nothing short of excellent. The value and professionalism was outstanding. The wedding coordinator Robbie literally had everything under control and I was able to just be the mother of the bride and enjoy my daughter’s day. I barely had to lift a finger. The staff and service were absolutely incredible. The food was delicious. 5 star quality. Everyone that came to the wedding raved about how delicious it was and how much food they were able to have. If I had to do it all again I would choose this venue without hesitation. Thankfully because of them my daughter had a perfect day.Our experience with Desert Willow Golf Resort was nothing short of excellent. The value and professionalism was outstanding.

Wedding Venue Perfection
We honestly can’t say enough good things about Desert Willow Golf Resort—the word perfect only begins to describe it! The views were absolutely breathtaking, with the desert backdrop and mountain scenery making our ceremony look like something out of a movie. The whole vibe, from the lighting to the grounds, was perfect for our big day. It couldn’t have been more beautiful and picture-perfect if we tried.
Robbie and her team were absolutely fantastic! They took care of every little detail and made sure everything ran smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, and that meant the world to us. From coordinating the ceremony to handling all the behind-the-scenes stuff, they were pros at making everything feel seamless. We really felt like we were in great hands, and it made the day that much more enjoyable.
And the food… wow! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. It was beyond what we expected, both in taste and presentation. The DJ also crushed it—he kept the energy high and had everyone on the dance floor all night. The music brought so much joy, and seeing all our loved ones dancing and smiling made the day even more memorable. Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding at Desert Willow. It was truly the best day of our lives, and we’re so thankful to Robbie and her team for making it all come together. We wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate anywhere else!We honestly can’t say enough good things about Desert Willow Golf Resort—the word perfect only begins to describe it!

The best day!
Stop looking anywhere else in Palm Desert and book your special day at the Desert Willow! The food, the service, the venue and Robbie were all impeccable. We couldn't have asked for a better team at the Desert Willow to make our day amazing. Our guests are still talking about the amazing venue and food!
We were treated like we were the only wedding happening all year with the quick responses and attention to detail the teams provided. Robbie worked so closely with the rental company, our vendors and our planner to ensure everything went smoothly! They have a great list of recommended vendors that were all amazing as well.
Thank you Robbie, Katie and team for the most incredible day to celebrate our marriage!

Wonderful, Easy Experience
Our experience at Desert Willows for our wedding was amazing. The venue is beautiful and they really go above and beyond to make things to your liking. It was very affordably and fairly priced. You can really customize it based on how much you want to spend. The on-site wedding coordinator, Robbie, worked with us and our vendors so that we didn’t even have to worry about details that day. The staff members at Desert Willows, especially Sal, were also incredibly helpful and warm. They made us and our guests feel so comfortable. So many people asked us “how did you find this place?!” It truly has a very private and special atmosphere. I am so happy that we chose Desert Willows for our wedding venue and would highly recommend it to anyone else!Our experience at Desert Willows for our wedding was amazing.

Robbie and Kati were amazing ! They responded at all hours in a timely manner always. The night of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. From set up to take down. They did it all and made our night so effortless for us! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue. It’s beyond beautiful and the whole setup is perfect.

THE Best Team!
As a wedding planner, working with the venue team is key to success for any event/wedding! And with Desert Willow we worked with THE Best Team ever! Starting from Robbie, Natalie, Kati, Joe, and all banquet team we are extremely thankful for all their work during the planning and executing a 200 guests wedding! The communication with Robbie and her team was outstanding and always precise in answering all our questions. They helped during day of wedding as well to make sure everything ran smoothly and was up to clients' expectations. I 110% recommend Desert Willow to any couples out there in search of the perfect venue in Palm Desert. We cannot wait to work again with Robbie and her team at Desert Willow!As a wedding planner, working with the venue team is key to success for any event/wedding!

“The most beautiful wedding I have ever been to”
If you are searching for the most perfect, gorgeous, stunning, flawless Palm Springs wedding venue to fulfill your wedding day dreams… look no further. We had our wedding at Desert Willow 11/10/2023 and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about that day. (I am 29 and my husband is 28 just for reference). Every single one of our vendors did an AMAZING job so I think I have the perfect recipe.
Robbie Lomes, Desert Willow’s wedding coordinator, was INCREDIBLE. We had her as our ‘day of’ coordinator but whenever I had questions or needed help with anything, she responded to each text message within minutes. Sometimes within seconds! She was so kind, so helpful, and incredibly skilled at what she does. Not only did she handle every little detail on the day of, but she also made sure to check in with me regarding my highly anxious mental state and took the time to help calm my nerves. She’s an angel, my wedding day was absolute perfection because of Robbie.
FOOD: Desert Willow
All I can say is… every single table told us “This is the best wedding food we have EVER had”.
FLORIST: Karin Williams - Prism Floral Design
Karin made all of my floral dreams come true. She is a true artist. I was a bit weary of the fact that she doesn’t offer to do mock ups prior to the event, but I had faith and I was definitely NOT disappointed! I gave her a few examples of what my vision was and she was able to execute it stunningly. I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out!
PHOTOGRAPHER: Jerrick O’Conner - Three16Photography
INCREDIBLE. He and his team mate Alex were awesome. They are so efficient. When it came to doing bridal party & family photos before / after ceremony… in and out, boom done, on to the next one. We didn’t have to spend 2 hours trying to wrangle everyone in for photos, they got sh** done! It was epic. They did an engagement shoot included in the package and also a night / cigar photoshoot during reception hours. The pictures are to die for. I would recommend this dynamic duo 1000x over to any and everyone.
DJ: DJ Chris Paul
Chris Paul has worked many a dozen weddings at Desert Willow. He knows the in’s and out’s of that venue like the back of his hand. He is extremely talented at his craft. He had no issues with us curating our own playlists for each portion of the event and played everything we asked him to! And even with our playlists being tailored more towards the hip hop / rap genre, he knew exactly how to incorporate other tracks in there to keep everyone up and dancing. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor and that is always a big fear right?! DJ Chris Paul is a heck of a guy. Super kind and charming. I feel like we could be bff’s. 10/10 recommend.
LIGHTING: Joe Antillon - XIL Productions
The uplighting isn’t totally necessary but wow was it worth it! Joe does the lighting for Desert Willow for a ton of their events there. He and Robbie work together often. It was a really easy process to select what kind of lighting I wanted and Joe was able to give me exactly what I asked for. It’s a little extra $$$ but he really made the ballroom look magical.
HAIR: Robyn Tornabeni
MAKE UP: Nancy Zinzun
Robyn & Nancy each have their own individual business and I had booked them separately. Luckily, they had been hired to service the same weddings before so they knew who each other were! These 2 ladies made myself, all my bridesmaids, & the moms look STUNNING! They are exceptional. My hair and my makeup were exactly what I asked for and I could not stop looking in awe at how gorgeous my bridesmaids looked. Absolute smoke show. Robyn & Nancy will turn you into a supermodel on the most special day of your life!!
PHOTOBOOTH: Danny Morin - Party Life
Danny has also worked with Desert Willow for dozens of weddings providing his photobooth services. It was again a super simple process to book with him and all of the guests loved it. It’s a fun little addition to the entertainment aspect of the evening. I’m glad we decided to incorporate it into the reception.
Each and every one of these vendors I had selected myself worked seamlessly together. They are the dream team. Throughout this whole planning process I was accepting that at least a few things would go wrong. That there would definitely be a couple hiccups… NOT A SINGLE ONE. Maybe I’m low maintenance I’m not sure, but when everyone is saying it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to… I’ll take that (:If you are searching for the most perfect, gorgeous, stunning, flawless Palm Springs wedding venue to fulfill your wedding day dreams… look no further.

The Most Gorgeous Setting for a Wedding
If you are considering The Palm Desert area, you must meet the excellent team at Desert Willow. From the sales staff to the banquet staff to the golf folks - every encounter was consummate professional. Any inquiries were promptly managed. Our guests, the whole bridal party and family were very complimentary on every aspect of my daughter's wedding. I would never hesitate to plan any other events at Desert Willow with Natalie & Robbie. The Wedding Packages they offer allowed us the flexibility to customize our food & beverages. The lighting and stage design by Joe was superior and added the best ambiance we could have imagined for the nighttime.If you are considering The Palm Desert area, you must meet the excellent team at Desert Willow.

A Desert Gem
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!We were married here yesterday and it was the best!

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!

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!

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.Desert Willows's food was amazing, hats off to the chef!

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!!

My dream wedding
From start to finish Robbie Lomes was such a pleasure to work with! She is so sweet and answered every question I had (even on her days off) right away. She listened to all of my requests and made sure my vision came to fruition. Desert Willow is such a beautiful venue from the greenery to the beautiful Mountain Views! My husband and I had our ceremony on the Terrace/balcony and our reception in the ballroom. It was beautiful!

Desert Willow Exceeded all Expectations!
My husband and I got married at Desert Willow November 2021 and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! All the staff went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Robbie, our wedding coordinator, was pleasure to work with and happily adhered to all our requests. She took the stress right out of worrying about the small details as our big day approached. We also cannot rave more about the food - it was incredible and by far the best wedding food I have ever had. We highly recommend Desert Willow for all other couples looking to get married in this region!My husband and I got married at Desert Willow November 2021 and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!

Really Cares for Customers
We had to cancel our wedding due to Covid-19 and this vendor was EXTREMELY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL. I was happy working with them up to having to cancel and even happier that I chose them as they refunded my deposit. No questions asked. They stated multiple times that they are on my side. I wish more companies were like them (florist in the area did not refund... sickening).
I highly recommend them for your event.We had to cancel our wedding due to Covid-19 and this vendor was EXTREMELY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL.
