Hidden Estate is a vacation home that serves as a beautiful setting for weddings and special events in Palm Springs, CA. There, couples and loved ones can get a glimpse of Hollywood’s Golden Age, where celebrities like Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., and Clarke Gable once visited.
Nestled in the iconic Old Las Palmas neighborhood, or the “Beverly Hills of Palm Springs,” Hidden Estate is a luxurious desert property, ideal for destination weddings. The property consists of a main house, a casita, lush gardens, bocce and pickleball courts, a saltwater pool and cabana, and more. Featuring a Spanish Colonial Revival design, the main house stuns with beautiful architecture and period furnishings. This creates a warm and cozy yet elegant atmosphere for your special day. Outside, the pristine gardens are filled with picturesque palm trees and ancient olive groves that, when combined with sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains, create a breathtaking backdrop for your celebration. Couples are free to host both the ceremony and reception on-site, with space for up to 150 seated guests or 200 for reception-style events.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, you’ll enjoy a comfortable and well-appointed home, replete with all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. Between the main house and the casita, you’ll be able to sleep up to 10 individuals on-site, with plenty of nearby accommodations for remaining guests. You and your loved ones can enjoy not only a comfortable night’s rest but also an array of spaces to relax and mingle, from the poolside cabana to the fire pit and more. Let Hidden Estate transport you and your guests back in time for a luxurious and elegant Palm Springs wedding.
