Cheers to one of the best days ever at this Historic Cree Estate winter wedding in Palm Springs!! Literally, any day in the desert of Palm Springs will be amazing, but this wedding was filled to the brim with POOLS, cute villas, the most epic sunset, and the sweetest facetime call with family members.

Kiernan + Madi are truly the sweetest couple + this day was an absolute dream.

What Makes the Historic Cree Estate the Right Choice for your Wedding?

Picking the right venue for your wedding can be suuuuper tricky. Now add in the fact of accommodating 50-75 guests?! That is anxiety attack territory.

The Historic Cree Estate is an epic Palm Springs wedding venue in so many ways, but here are the top reasons why Historic Cree Estate might be the right venue for your big day!

YEAR-ROUND AVAILABILITY

Many venues in the PNW only offer weddings during the late spring, summer, & early fall. The reason for this is that that’s when the weather is best for outdoor celebrations. You can’t really elope in a national or state park outdoors in the winter unless you’re down for freezing temps and snow-covered grounds!

That’s why it’s awesome that Historic Cree Estate has both indoor and outdoor spaces. You can hold your wedding here at ANY time of year, during any season!

Enjoy a romantic winter wedding or a summer wedding! Both of which are some of my favorite times to shoot!

AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATIONS IN PALM SPRINGS

EXPERIENCING PALM SPRINGS

Between you and I, I don’t think there is anything better than just standing out and admiring the desert beauty that Palm Springs has to offer. But, I do understand how that might get a little boring!

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO:
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
Moorten Botanical Garden
Joshua Tree National Park
