Rimrock Ranch - Pioneertown, California

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!

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.

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!

Rim Rock was perfect. It was everything and more and beyond my wildest dreams. Gwen and her team did an amazing job, she helped with every detail (big or small). I was beyond impressed by their kindness and passion in the work. I will recommend anyone holding their wedding at this beautiful space. The space has so much character, furniture that was perfect for our event. I truly am so happy and pleased. Thank you Gwen and team! 🥰

We are local wedding photographers and this is one of our very favorite venues to work at in the desert. The whole property is breathtaking, filled with Joshua Trees, modern buildings with a southwest vibe, and sprawling desert to explore and photograph in. The staff is incredible to work with and getting married here allows your guests to have a whole weekend experience since you can stay on site. Highly recommend and can't wait to document more celebrations here again soon.

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!

For couples who want an intimate, eclectic and nature-inspired Joshua Tree wedding, this venue is for YOU! Ok not only did my husband and I get married here in 2017 but I'm also a wedding planner who has the pleasure to work at Rimrock Ranch regularly.

The owners, Gwen and Eric are by far the best venue owners you can ask for for both the clients and the vendors. They are welcoming, helpful and fun to be around. Their property offers guests accommodation for at least 22 guests, a place to host the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception as well. They include nice hand crafted wooden tables, bistro lights, built-in bars, propane fire pits and luxury restrooms.

We always look forward to working here and know that any desert-loving couple will love this space as much as we do!

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.
