If you’re looking for a rustic desert wedding, look no further. My wedding was everything I could have imagined, PLUS so much more. Now I want to mention that getting married in the desert is not for the faint of heart. You will be dusty from start to finish, you will lose your voice from singing and dancing and inhaling dirt all weekend, but that is all a part of the experience, I must say. Instead of a cliche wedding on the beach or in a church, have your guests remember the insane backdrop of Joshua Trees, blue to orange to pink gradient sunsets, all of the desert sounds and dancing among endless bright shooting stars. I cannot say enough good things about this place. While my husband and I never got to meet Eric or Gwen, they were still very communicative during our stay. Reno is the best and most helpful person you will ever meet. I cannot wait to come back some day. We love you, Rimrock Ranch!
Gwen and Eric hosted us on their gorgeous Rimrock Ranch for our October wedding. They seamlessly met any challenges for us, and brought a fun and vibrant energy to the event. We're so grateful to them and their team for all they did to support us. Host your wedding or event here and you will not regret it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. We had scoured the hi-desert and almost thought that the perfect venue didn't exist... until we toured Rimrock Ranch. The location is absolutely stunning, with Joshua trees scattered across the landscape, rocky mountains in the distance, and beautiful western cabins surrounded by open desert. It made for the most breathtaking backdrop to our special day. The venue itself is simple yet elegant, and allowed us to easily personalize the space to fit our vision. The staff are exceptional and made us feel so valued throughout the entire process. They were incredibly friendly, always ready to help, and went out of their way to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their warmth and professionalism truly made a difference, and we felt supported every step of the way. Reno, Gwen, Eric, and all the staff are rockstars whose expertise in weddings really shined. Having our families and wedding party housed on-site was such a bonus, it made the wedding weekend an easy, fun, and camp-like experience. We stayed for three nights, and having that extra time to relax at Rimrock made the place feel like home—it will always hold a special place in our hearts. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is versatile, picturesque, and offers a warm, rustic vibe with amazing service, Rimrock Ranch is the place. Highly HIGHLY recommend!
Lovely ranch that our daughter and her husband picked as their wedding venue.
Just returned from another great stay at Rimrock Ranch. It had been a while since we had been there. It's so relaxing there. Gwen and Eric do so much to assure that our stay is always the best. Great people!!!
The Rimrock staff was incredible leading up to and during our wedding weekend. They were so friendly and accommodating of our wishes. Reno and the team executed the wedding day so well, from my perspective as a bride, it was totally seamless. I keep getting wonderful compliments from family and friends on our choice of venue - dramatic and inspiring landscape, gorgeous sunset, hardworking and friendly staff. We're so grateful to Reno, Gwen, and Eric for facilitating such a wonderful weekend for us! As another reviewer said, it really is a treat to be able to stay on site with your cabin guests. We chose a bunch of friends to stay with us and we had the best time over the weekend - highly recommend!
A seriously perfect venue for a MAGICAL wedding weekend. Gwen is absolutely incredible but was unable to be there for our wedding weekend. Reno was there all weekend helping us with WHATEVER we needed. All the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, professional, cool, fun, enthusiastic... I could go on! They are really there to make it the best stay possible and do just that. We have also stayed at Rimrock as guests and loved it. For a wedding weekend, it is wonderful to take over all of the cabins. The staff really make you feel at home. I will say, the cabins can feel a bit rustic! Design is A+ and super cool but if you are used to hotels, be prepared for some more dirt!!!! The Ranch itself is stunning. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and RAVED about the venue! Because of the stunning scene - vivid stars, joshua trees sprinkled all over the mountains, etc, any additional decor is just extra! I would truly recommend Rimrock Ranch to anyone considering having a wedding in the area.... it is truly extraordinary.
Beautiful venue in the greater Joshua Tree area. Nice private cabins. Fabulous views of the local desert. Recommended.
Gwen + Eric + Reno and the whole Rimrock team made our wedding weekend everything we imagined and more! Gwen was helpful in making sure everything was good to go & helped us plan everything even though we live on the east coast. Gwen is the sweetest person to talk to and she really goes above and beyond. Rimrock is a beautiful venue that made for the perfect wedding, we wouldn't have changed a thing!
Great facility! Visited for a wedding (cocktail party, ceremony, dinner, and reception). The wedding party stayed on-site and guests were bussed in from Yucca Valley and Pioneertown. Beautiful and secluded location in the iconic Joshua Tree region. Much cooler than Palm Springs and Yucca Valley during the summer.
