My (now) wife and I decided to have our wedding at Casa Cody in Palm Springs because it held a special place in our hearts. We traveled there for a weekend away early in our relati...onship, and its beautiful courtyards and gardens just seemed like the perfect place for our laid back, rustic wedding.
The inn has 29 rooms, so we took over the entire place for the weekend. Because there are 4 separate courtyards, we used the center courtyard for our rehearsal dinner & morning after brunch, the adobe house courtyard for our ceremony and the winters house courtyard for our reception. The staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond, the gardeners were working on overdrive to make sure all of the grounds looked perfect for our big day, and Randa the manager could not have been more accommodating.
If you're looking for a venue that will do everything for you (think handle catering, bartenders, rentals, dj, flowers, etc) this probably isn't the venue for you. The site fee is very reasonable but literally only covers the cost of the property. You're responsible for providing everything which was perfect for me because I was a super hands-on bride, but I know many people like the idea of choosing preferred vendors from a list and having an on-site wedding coordinator handle everything else. If that's what you're looking for, than this probably isn't the venue for you.
They are very laid back and the only stringent rule is that the amplified music must end at 10pm (we actually had an after party around the adobe house until midnight with no complaints!).
Because many of our guests arrived several days before the wedding and stayed on the property - everyone was able to really get to know each other (many of my family & my wife's family had not yet met, so this was a very nice aspect of the weekend). So once the wedding rolled around on Saturday everyone was already relaxed, had made many new friends and were ready to party.
Casa Cody does not advertise that they are available for weddings on their website, but they have a wedding nearly every weekend in the high season. All you need to do is call them up for more information.
I would absolutely recommend this little gem situated 1 block off of S. Palm Canyon Drive. If you're looking for a rustic, unique and naturally beautiful wedding venue, definitely check out Casa Cody. I couldn't say enough good things about the venue or the staff!
