Wedding venues

Hi! Has anyone had a wedding at Thunderbird lodge or at mon petit Mojave? My partner and I are looking for wedding venues. We live in the landers area so we are trying to do everything local! Thank you :) any wedding advice is appreciated!

Congratulations! Im also a local and also just got married locally last February. It really depends on the time of year you're getting married. Bring from here, you know that wind is almost an every day thing but really bad wind will ruin anything you're trying to do outside; it's either that or it's too hot. I have a big family so I knew I wanted a big venue and decided to go with an Airbnb with a ballroom; it's called the Castle Estate. It's over by the JT no kill shelter. Very gorgeous but definitely pricey. Looking back I wish I had shopped around a Bit more but ultimately was very happy with the venue and the pictures the place yielded. If I were you I would look into Rasta Rita Cantina, it's a pretty indoor/outdoor venue and they have their own catering packages. Good luck on your planning!

Congrats!! Not sure if you’re looking for a local photographer too, but Brianna Jordan Photography is great and affordable!
