The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens

Love should feel natural, so why not hold your wedding outdoors in an unusual wedding venue that celebrates nature and highlights Palm Springs’ desert landscape?

The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens hosts several indoor and outdoor spaces for your special day. Host your reception overlooking the Giraffe Savannah habitat, or dine and dance under the desert stars at the beautiful Palm Garden Patio. The Australian Adventures habitat brings a piece of the continent to your guests—native plants and all. Event capacity varies by space, but most host parties of 100-150 people.

Exchange vows surrounded by symbols of resilience and beauty. Established in 1938, the Moorten Botanical Garden honors desert life—trees, plants, cacti, and more. Most weddings take place in the Palm Grove Oasis, which holds up to 80 guests. This garden offers no reception space.
