  • COOLEST wedding venue in the desert

    Wowowow where to begin? If you’re looking for a venue that provides both a scenic ceremony and/or reception spot, PLUS a weekend retreat this is possibly the best find in the greater Joshua Tree area. We stayed Friday and Saturday night at the venue with our closest friends which was a one-of-a-kind experience by itself, and the rest of our guests were completely blown away by the mountain views and beautiful desert landscape of Joshua trees and blooming spring cactuses scattered around the property. This picturesque oasis must be seen to be believed, and there is no doubt in my mind that our wedding photos are going to turn out immaculate. Onto the staff: Gwen and Reno were rockstars from day one. We knew they were our kind of people from our first phone call and that was reconfirmed every time we spoke to them. Despite the fact that Gwen was dealing with an injury at the time of our wedding, she was more hands on that we could’ve hoped for. It rained (and snowed!!) on the day of our spring wedding (we also got a cool rainbow out of it) and Gwen was there to help us make a game time decision about where our ceremony would be held on the property. We decided about a week before the day that because of the rain we’d need to move our reception to another venue indoors and Gwen was with us every step of the way offering us guidance and making sure it was a seamless transition and still incredibly beautiful. Because of both the venue and the staff, our wedding was the exact vision we hoped it would be, weather curveballs and all.

    If you are looking for a rustic desert landscape for your wedding, look no further. My wedding was everything I imagined PLUS so much more. Now, I want to mention that getting married in the middle of the desert is not for the faint of heart. You will be dusty from start to finish, you will lose your voice from screaming and dancing and inhaling dirt all wknd, but that is all part of the experience I must say. Instead of a cliche wedding on the beach or in a church, how about having your guests remember the insane Dr. Suess-like Joshua trees, the orange to blue gradient sunsets, the desert sounds and dancing among endless bright stars. I can not say enough good things about Rimrock Ranch. I want to get married all over again here. :) I also want to add that my husband and I never got the chance to physically meet Eric or Gwen, but they were extremely communicative and lovely nonetheless. Reno was SOOOO helpful, you rock, Reno!!!! Thank you to all of the staff there, my husband and friends and I cannot wait to come back again.

    Gwen and Erik were outstanding and the whole team at Rimrock was the BEST!!! If you are looking for a magical location that you take over to welcome and celebrate your wedding this is one MAGICAL location. I had been to a wedding 6 years earlier and loved it then. It was the easiest decision we made to host our wedding there. It was everything we wanted and more! Just the BEST!
