Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden and Labyrinth Reviews

The most stunning venue you’ll lay your eyes on in the Hi-Desert area. My husband and I found Tumbleweed when we were looking for wedding venues near Joshua Tree, early in the pandemic. We booked it without having seen in person, only online photos. The beauty that was captured on their website was enough for us!

The property is large, but feels contained at the same time. We were able to have our ceremony near the entrance of the space, our reception on the hardtop, our first dance in the labyrinth, our sunset photos on the scenic trail, and our dance party inside. There was no inch of Tumbleweed that was left unexplored by us and our guests.

Dorothy, Vicki, and the rest of the hardworking folks at Tumbleweed deserve the world!

Hope to see Tumbleweed thriving in this community for many years to come. We created many magical memories there, and hope other couples get to experience that as well.

I'm the owner and photographer at Tayler Ashley Photography and I had the pleasure of working at this beautiful space! It's beauty is unmatched and the staff are so pleasant and helpful. I cannot wait to work here again!

If you are looking for an unforgettable desert venue this is the spot! The team is amazing and the venue is so beautiful. I would highly recommend having your event here!

We could not recommend Tumbleweed Sanctuary more! The venue is absolutely stunning, with tons of Joshua Trees at the back of the property, and other beautiful cacti. The sunset there is incredible and made for absolutely beautiful sunset photos. We got married at the two big Joshua Trees and we couldn't be happier with the unique "arch". A lot is included in the rental and at the time of our wedding, we felt the cost of renting the venue was very reasonable. There is also an indoor building that is beautifully decorated inside that we used for our rehearsal dinner, and can also be used for dinner/the reception (we chose to have our dinner and reception outdoors under the string lights). Our guests were blown away by how incredible the venue was and we are so thankful we were able to have our wedding at Tumbleweed. The staff there are wonderful to work with as well! They actually saved our wedding day - our previous venue canceled on us 3 days before our wedding, and somehow Tumbleweed was available on our date with 3 days notice and they helped us save our day!! We will forever be grateful to Sabrina and Vicki for everything they did to help make our wedding day possible on such short notice.

Tumbleweed Sanctuary... thank you for creating a beautiful day for me and my now husband! We worked closely with Sabrina who was very responsive to the vast emails exchanged while we worked around COVID restrictions and ultimately chose their "Marry Me under a Joshua Tree" package. The vendors were preselected for us, all local, and I was very happy with the guitarist during the ceremony, flowers (oh my gosh, they were gorgeous) and small touches for our mini-dance party which included cake, champagne and libations. The property itself is picturesque with Joshua trees sprinkled all over outside... and it made for swoon worthy photos! We added video with the photographer and I highly recommend this. While we were really looking forward to our original pre-COVID plans, Tumbleweed really pulled through and made our day so special and unforgettable.

We hosted our November wedding at Tumbleweed and cant even put into words how magical the experience was working with them. From booking to execution, their team were absolutely incredible and our wedding couldn't have been more magical + perfect. If you're on the fence - CHOOSE THIS VENUE! It is absolute magic.

When we first discovered Tumbleweed Sanctuary, we knew it was perfect for us. We wanted to capture the magic of the desert and the function of an established venue. With the gorgeous expanse of the natural desert and beautifully designed vignettes, they had everything we were looking for. We had our ceremony outside in the large stone labyrinth and it was truly a dream come true. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of this setting. There are so many possibilities for photo ops, ceremony and reception setups, and activities on their huge and open grounds. They already had much of what we needed, including tables and chairs, plus the spectacular beauty of the gardens meant we could cut down on the cost of decor- we didn’t need much else! We had a magical day in this beautiful setting and recommend it highly for anyone looking for a desert wedding.

We had our wedding at Tumbleweed in September under a full moon, and it was just as peaceful and romantic as we hoped it would be. The Tumbleweed staff works constantly to continue to enhance and improve the grounds, which a breathtaking. When you work with them or come to the site, everyone you encounter is warm, kind and respectful. They instantly put you at ease. Our guests were all taken by the beauty of the location and it’s unusual intimacy. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our wedding.

Tumbleweed Sanctuary is truly unique and was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is beautiful, provides wonderful furniture and decorations, and is a beautiful space with the perfect desert vibe.

We LOVED the Tumbleweed! Vicki and all her staff (Julie, Jasmine, Danny) were amazing! They were so professional and so responsive with emails or phone calls. There was no hidden fees and everything they say is included is actually included! So refreshing to have a venue that actually gives you what they say without any hidden fees.
The venue come with parking (huge bonus) and they set everything up for you. Decor was beautiful and all bohemian chic. And beautiful bathrooms that were actual bathrooms, not outhouses(also huge bonus). Spaces for inside or outside use. Beautiful places for photos throughout the property. Everything about the Tumbleweed is a 10/10! We literally have nothing negative to say about the Tumbleweed at all! We want to get married all over again just to use them again!!

My husband and I knew from the day we got engaged that we wanted an outdoor wedding venue. I had contacted a few venues in the area and was astonished at the price for what was offered. After visiting a venue in Palm Desert and having a less-than-awesome experience, I sent Tumbleweed Sanctuary an inquiry message on our way home. I had seen the venue on Instagram a couple of times and it looked incredible, but I had been in conversation with the venue we were just leaving for a while and thought THAT one would be our venue. Tumbleweed responded within a day and after a few back and forth emails, we went to tour the place. It was beautiful, clean, and serene - a desert oasis, to say the least. We sat on one of their adorable wood benches along a desert path on their property, and knew this was the place we would get married. After the decision, payment was easy - half up front, half 60 days before the wedding. Vicki was amazing throughout the whole process, and when we got closer to the event, I worked with Julie, who was so sweet and easy to work with. She answered all of my questions and helped me make sure all of the vendors had their proper insurance, and that I had my own liability insurance (we went with The Event Helper). We were able to come in the evening before the wedding for two hours to set up the interior decor for the reception and for rehearsal. When we arrived, the venue had already set up the tables and chairs as I had drawn them on a floor plan inside, and the chairs for the ceremony outside under their beautiful metal archway. Everything was perfect! My maid of honor, the best man, myself and the groom were able to set up the decor quickly because everything was in the right place! The venue even let us use their decor, and their beautiful crystal collection complemented the centerpieces I had made. It was a dream come true. Dani was there to meet us the day before and was the point of contact on the day of. I just loved her vibe. The Tumbleweed Sanctuary, from start to finish, made our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend them for both their venue and their staff. It was a completely magical experience!

Tumbleweed Sanctuary was a dream venue for our wedding. They had so much beautiful furniture (tables, chairs, lounge furniture) and decorations that we were able to forego rentals all together. We knew it would be a beautiful venue when we booked, but the staff blew us away the day of our wedding. They set up all of the furniture and took it apart on our wedding day so our set up was a total breeze. We had planned for 2 hours to setup before the ceremony but we didn't even need that much time. It ended up being really windy the day of our wedding (not really surprising), so a lot of our decorations and flowers were being blown over. We ended up not using most of our flowers and they weren't even really missed since the furniture and the scenery were to beautiful. We had originally planned to go into Joshua Tree National Park for photos during our cocktail hour, but the property had so much diverse plant life and was so beautiful that we just stayed there, which allowed us to spend more time with our friends and family.

When we found The Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Cesar and I instantly fell in love with the venue and the amazing crew that makes up their team. We toured the venue about 8 months before our wedding and the team was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire planning process.

Vicki and Julie were a huge help with answering questions and being available when we wanted to stop by and clarify logistics. On the day of, Dani, Boo and Julie were super gracious in helping our day run smoothly.

Our family and friends were blown away by the beauty of the space and all the details that went into making this venue so special; we got so many compliments and everyone felt welcome and at home. We would choose this venue for our wedding a thousand times over without hesitation and we look forward to visiting the space any chance we get in the future.

This was the most magical beautiful, well kept, well thought out wedding site I've ever been to and I'm so glad we chose it. Julie was an incredible host, and everything about the space is perfect. It's so dynamic-- outdoor and indoor with lots of options and flexibility. Perfect for sunset photos. I could not have asked for a more magical place to sanctify my love. If anyone has any questions about the space I'm happy to be a reference.

We looked high and low throughout Los Angeles, Orange County and the desert to find a place for our wedding and when we stumbled on Tumbleweed we knew we had found our home.

If you love the spaciousness, the grounding energy and the rustic charm of the California desert this might be the place for you. The landscaping is stunning - your'e surrounded by Joshua trees, cactus, mountains and wide open skies. The interior space is newly remodeled and it's clean and welcoming with brand new bathrooms. The lighting is great and it's decorated with candles and rugs and crystals - you can rent the furniture too, which we opted for. We had our ceremony outdoors under one of the beautiful arches. We had our dinner indoors and then moved back outside for dancing.

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding and Vicki, the owner, and this space are incredible special to us. This place has soul and is completely unique. We will never forget it!

If you're looking into getting married in Joshua Tree, THIS PLACE IS IT! We planned our wedding all the way from Cincinnati, OH. We knew we wanted to get married in Joshua Tree but without the desert heat.

When I found Tumbleweed Sanctuary on Instagram I instantly knew this was our venue. Not only was it gorgeous on the inside and out, the staff at TS were incredible. Up until the day of the wedding TS made sure to communicate with us. The staff were kind and attentive, absolutely amazing!

Also, huge bonus but their building had AC. Huge bonus since we had grandparents who weren't used to CA heat.

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. THIS PLACE IS PERFECT.

Thank you for having us!!

We booked Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden, and Labyrinth for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was truly the best decision we made for our wedding day. As soon as we visited Tumbleweed and met with Julie to discuss our vision, we knew it was the perfect place. The sprawling property has many different seating areas, space for game, indoor/outdoor space, and a nature walk for pictures that look as if you are in the middle of nowhere in the desert! There are so many different places to take BEAUTIFUL pictures, enjoy nature, and gather with friends and family. All of the furniture and decor provided is beautiful, modern, bohemian style that compliments the desert so well. The staff was incredible to work with to answer our MANY questions and coordinate our day flawlessly. During the planning process, we were able to visit the venue a few different times by ourselves, with our parents, and with our coordinator and the staff was always so welcoming, kind, and patient. The venue and staff are LGTBQ+ friendly and allowed us to convert the “male/female” bathrooms to “gender neutral” to accommodate all of our guests. Our family and friends all adored Tumbleweed and had such a fun time exploring the property, taking photos, and soaking in the beauty of the desert. I would highly recommend Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden, and Labyrinth for a wedding/ special event venue! I wish we could get married here again!!

Beautiful venue! Wish we could have had our reception there too!
