Sands Hotel Palm Springs Wedding Cost

Couples planning a Sands Hotel wedding typically spend $55,000 after investing in wedding photography, coordination, decor, and other vendors. There is a lot to love about the rose-colored walls and elegant Moroccan themed hotel in Palm Springs, but the Sands Hotel weddings are really about so much more than pink walls and cactus. Brides and grooms who chose a Sands Hotel & Spa wedding are required to rent the entire 46-room hotel out so they have complete control of the property for maximum privacy. The full-service hotel located in the heart of Indian Wells, California can hold upwards of 180 wedding guests. Some of my personal favorite amenities of the wedding venue include:

• Pink Cabana, a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant with a Moroccan influence that transforms into the perfect setting for the wedding reception.
• Sands Hotel Spa, a Moroccan Spa that is a lovely backdrop with plenty of space for the bridal party to get ready
• The Olive Grove, a minimalist area where the wedding ceremony takes place that is totally shaded, making it perfect for family photos.
• Poolside Dining, easily one of my favorite things about a wedding at the Sands Hotel is that dinner is served around the pool area, creating a stunning outdoor experience. Especially, if a couple invests in a talented wedding planner who can design the pool area with candlelight.
