Elizabeth at Lodge On The Desert was an absolute pleasure to work with. We started the process with a different coordinator from the venue, but as soon as Elizabeth took over the role, things were perfect. Her communication was clear, efficient, and frequent, ensuring we always felt informed and supported throughout the planning process. The venue itself had a wonderfully rustic, deserty, resort vibe that perfectly matched the Palm Springs aesthetic we were going for. And with Lodge’s reasonable pricing and high-quality service, we felt we received excellent value for our money. Many venues seemed to have hidden fees, but we knew up front what we could expect to pay and what would be included. Our guests were wowed by the beautiful, clean, stylish space and the stunning mountain views. There were plenty of little alcoves for photos, table placement, staging, etc., and we felt free to make the space our own. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding at Lodge On The Desert. Thank you, Elizabeth, for making our day perfect!
