My husband and I got married at Eight4Nine on 10/11/24 and coming from a bride that did not want to plan a wedding, this venue FAR exceeded any expectations that I had.
We picked this wedding venue for multiple reasons. As a busy bride, I didn't have time, nor did I want to coordinate with a bunch of different vendors. They offered us a STELLAR bar and food package that BLEW OUR MINDS for our small intimate wedding. Five tray passed appetizers and fully stocked OPEN bar definitely peaked my interest. They also allowed us to select a starter, 3 options for dinner, plus desert. It was great that I didn't have to ask guests what dinner item they wanted ahead of time. Since this is a restaurant, the main course was served as restaurant style. We were also looking for a beautiful venue that didn't need a lot of "fluff." I didn't want to spend $10,000 on flowers and lighting. I wanted to enhance the already beautiful venue. They have an amazing outdoor set up with trees, lighting handing from the trees, a projector, beautiful white chairs with white decor and snug right up against the mountain. Having a desert wedding, I was concerned about the heat during the day or it being cold in the evening. They have heaters, fire place, misters, and fans. So another check! There was even an area for a dance floor and yet again, another item I didn't have to worry about bringing in. Lastly, LOCATION! This place is a Palm Springs staple, being newly local to the desert and having a designation wedding for our friends and family, I wanted everyone to see why we moved here. Eight4Nine is located on the main street in Palm Springs. It was 1 mile away from our hotel and easy for our guests to uber to without spending 30 mins in the car or spending a fortune renting a car.
In January, Josh (event manager) was extremely prompt and thorough with his e-mail correspondence. We messaged for MONTHS on and off planning our special day. He answered all of my questions, gave me advice, and offered guidance for what we could do. He worked seamlessly with my day of planner leading up to our wedding day. Two weeks before our wedding, I hardly had any wedding emails from the venue. I had passed over total control to the venue and my planner.
Our wedding day was truly remarkable. Our planner was able to get into Eight4Nine and set up without issue. Egith4Nine had made notes of all of my requests and changed some of their decor to accommodate our color schemes. It was hot that day, and turned on their misters and fans. Our guests RAVED about the food (which we actually didn't try prior to signing our contract). We were delighted to actually be served and the staff made us feel like the most important people. The service was impeccable. Our guests told us, that this was the best wedding food they ever had! We even selected our their signature cake to serve our guests and we were told that the cake tasted like it was from a gourmet cake bakery.
I can't say enough about what a special day Josh, Willie, and the Eight4Nine staff made for my husband and I. As a bride that wanted to elope, I am so happy that I didn't ! I'm even more happy that we chose Eight4Nine for our special day. We had an incredible experience from January to October. Our guests raved about the food and ambience. It was the best night of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are local to the Coachella Valley and can't wait to come back!

I'd like to start off by saying that Willie and his team at Eight4Nine are absolutely AMAZING! We chose them as our caterer for our wedding in Palm Springs and they did not disappoint. They went above and beyond our expectations as a caterer. Their team comes in to set up their station, the guests tables, the bar, and they leave your venue spotless by the end of the night, you don't even notice they're there.
Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the food was, with a lot of them saying it was the best food they've had at a wedding, they've never felt so well fed at a wedding, and how great the servers were. The servers came out every minute with a fresh plate of hor d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. The servers and bartenders were attentive and hospitable. The plating of the dishes, setting up and laying out the tables, the bar, the charcuterie spread, the plateware, silverware, drinkware ... they provide everything. They are so professional, and they made our wedding absolutely elegant. What made it even more special was the guest appearance of Mr. Willie Rhine himself. You can tell that he takes pride in his service and commitment to his customers. He answered any questions I had throughout the whole planning process. When you book with Eight4Nine not only do you get catering, but they become a part of your whole wedding planning. My husband and I cannot praise them enough. The Javier helped us with our food tasting and everything we had was so good it made it hard to choose our menu. We highly recommend them for your wedding or even dining in at the restaurant. It's a beautiful space with a unique modern touch, and the food is mouthwatering delicious.

Eight4Nine is the perfect venue to hold our reception. It gives a very Palm Springs feel. The staff was amazing, the coordinator was great and worked well with us to meet our needs. Food was fantastic. Our package included cocktail party with open bar and hor devours. Great variety of choices both with meat, fish, and vegetarian. The cocktail party was in the patio area and was beautifully set. Moved to the inside of the restaurant for dinner and the way they decorated was gorgeous. The staff was incredible and made each guest feel special. Guests loved the meal. We decided that we would have a drag show as entertainment, and they were great at accommodating the Queens with their own dressing area. The space was great for dancing. Very Happy with Eight4Nine.

This November, we worked directly with Eight4Nine for our rehearsal dinner/welcome party [for 175 people] and we have nothing but amazing things to say about the process, staff, and execution. Willy & Lucy were A DREAM TEAM and we so appreciated their attention to detail, willingness to hop on the phone, and even help us store boxes during the week leading up. They have an exceptional team surrounding them which made our night flawless and did I mention the food was AMAZING?! Every detail was truly a dream come true and we couldn't recommend Eight4Nine enough.

This review is long overdue; Me and my husband had our wedding reception (1/27/2018) and rehearsal dinner (1/26/2018) done by Willie Rhine at Eight4Nine and everything was impeccable. We had 60 guests who traveled from parts of U.S., Europe and Asia for our wedding, and we receive complements about our wedding day, even to this day and how unforgettable everything had been; from food, service, and management of both events, we felt thought that Willie's management skills and professionalism were second to none out of all the vendors that we worked with for our wedding. He was prompt with all his responses, we felt taken cared for and heard every step of the way. In fact, our wedding was just chosen to be featured on Palm Springs Life 2019 edition. We couldn't be more grateful how this all turned out.
If you need a strong reliable 'partner' for your wedding or any type of gathering/events and want to impress your guests, talk to Willie Rhine at Eight4Nine.
**Willie, thank you so much again for EVERYTHING you've done for us on this day!! After a year and half, it still remains as the best day of our life for me, Andreas and our close loved ones. (**Also our sincere apologies for taking a while to write this review, we hope it's better late than never..!)

849 Events and Fine Catering catered our wedding at the Palm Springs Museum of Art. Everything about them and their service was extraordinary. From the time we first started working with Willie and his team there was no attitude - which we were very grateful for. The menu and the options that they presented to us all sounded delish. Our choices were phenomenal. We have dined at the finest restaurants around the world and the four courses that were served to our guests were just as tasty. The entire staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. The decor that Willie and his team assembled was magical. 849 Events and Fine Catering exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was flawless thanks to everyone at 849. Oh yeah, the cake was out of this world too. Not over sauced. Not over salted. It was PERFECTION.

I had my wedding at Eight4Nine after initially falling in love with the venue last November. It was an absolute dream! The style of the restaurant/lounge is so unique from any other event space I've seen. We had our ceremony in the courtyard that felt like a secret garden. Trees cascaded around guests and a huge fireplace added a sense of romance. The lounge is gorgeous with a huge onyx bar that glows at night. Seating is so fun with oversized lounge furniture and lots of high top tables. The dining room is an art exhibit. Every room has different pieces to look at that represent the owners style so beautifully. More amazing than the decor is the FOOD! This was a huge deal for me. My father is a chef and has extremely high standards so when he approved 100% I was thrilled! He said it was the most impressive selection he's seen for a wedding. Everyone was raving about how delicious the food was. I have been in to dine several times prior to the wedding and the food has always been top notch. For appetizers we had coconut shrimp, warm lobster boule, steak frites roulade and slow roasted forest mushrooms followed by a pear salad. For the main event we had Beef tenderloin, Chicken Cacciatore, Grilled Scottish Steelhead and Lobster Mac & Cheese (drooling just thinking about it!). I would recommend Eight4Nine to anyone and everyone wanting to make their event unique, fabulous and memorable. Willie, the owner, was an absolute dream to work with and I could not be more grateful for all that he did on my special day.
