SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Friday 8pm - Welcome Reception
Iluminata at the Triada Hotel - 640 N Indian Canyon Dr
We can't wait to see you all! Get ready for a whole lot of fun, starting with a casual welcome reception at the Iluminata Bar at the Triada Hotel on North Indian Canyon Drive. You'll find us outside by the pool. There'll be food and maybe a cannonball or two. We want to welcome you to the desert by inviting you to come grab a bite and something to drink while you say hello to family, friends, and make some new ones!
SATURDAY - HAVE FUN!
We want you to have as much fun as possible, and part of that is giving you time to experience what Palm Springs has to offer. Saturday is a free day for you to shop, eat, explore or just relax by the pool. The map that came in the invitation has a few of our favorite hotspots, but here are a few more of our favorite things to do in the desert.
SHOP

Over 120 Stores offering everything from casual clothing to high-end designer goods. The Cabazon Dinosaurs and an In-N-Out Burger are conveniently located right next door.

If you are looking for mod or mid-century anything, head to this stretch of road on North Palm Canyon. Vintage finds and modern recreations can be found at shops alongside kitschy clothing boutiques.

King's Highway - 701 E Palm Canyon Drive
It's a modern take on the classic diner conveniently located at the ACE Hotel & Swim Club.

A classic Palm Springs Bistro right in the middle of downtown. Grab a seat on the patio while you have a great meal, and an even better martini.
Rooster & The Pig - 356 S Indian Canyon Drive
Hands down some of the best, most inventive Vietnamese food we've ever tasted. Its only open for dinner and incredibly popular. Go early, you won't be disappointed!
Workshop Kitchen - 800 N Palm Canyon Dr
One of our favorite restaurants in town. Fancy food in a super-chic space. Grab a drink and as snack at their sister bar Truss & Twine while you wait for a table. It's located right across the courtyard.
EXPLORE
Tacquitz Canyon - 500 W Mesquite Ave
Enjoy this 1.7 mile hike complete with a waterfall you can take a dip in at the end! But go early in the morning - otherwise the heat will make this relatively low-impact trek increasingly difficult.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway - 1 Tram Way
Ride in the world's largest rotating tram to a mountain forrest at the top of San Jacinto Peak. You can take in the view while exploring multiple trails and maybe even play in the snow.
Salvation Mountain - Beal Rd, Niland, CA 92257
Discover one of the most instagram-able sites in the desert. A bit of a drive out of town takes you to this outsider artist's technicolored tribute to God's love.
Joshua Tree National Park
The adventurous can drive north to this vast landscape of rugged rock formations and bristled Joshua Trees that spans the Colorado & Mojave deserts.
SUNDAY 4:30PM - the big day!
The Odonell House - 412 W Tahquitz Canyon Way
We are so excited you came to share in our big day. The ceremony starts at 4:30pm but we will be receiving guests on the property at 4pm. We recommend you take a Lyft, but if you do drive please park in the parking structure across the street. There will be golf carts ushering everyone up the elevated drive. (Don't worry, we wouldn't make you walk!) Be sure to bring your sunglasses and dancing shoes! The reception ends at 10pm but we invite anyone who wishes to continue the party to RESPONSIBLY make their way to a new bar. Details to come at the wedding!
Monday 10:30am - recovery
Koffi - 515 N Palm Canyon Drive
We know everyone's travel plans are different. But, if you're not rushing to the airport (and are able to get out of bed) we'll be recovering with the best cup in town at Koffi. Please feel free to swing by to say hello and enjoy a cup in the beautiful courtyard before we all head out of town.
