We loved having our wedding at Margaritaville Palm Springs. We wanted a beautiful venue with a relaxed vibe and we got it.
Darin is a gem. I called many Palm Springs resorts to as...
k for quotes and no one was more welcoming and friendly than Darin. Our experience working with him just got better and better from there. He's professional, responsive, experienced, accommodating, and just a pleasure to work with. Thank you for an amazing wedding weekend, Darin!!!
We could not have been more thrilled with the experience of booking Margaritaville as our venue. Darin helped us the entire time from our first inquiry all the way through the wedd...
ing, and even continuing to check in on us after. The food, the attention to detail, the accommodations for the bridal suite and for our guests, and the service throughout all the wedding events were impeccable. Any question or concern we had, Darin was prompt and thorough in addressing and thinking through with us. In comparison to other venues we looked at, there’s no doubt in my mind we hit a home run - none of the other venues had anywhere near the customer service, friendly vibes, and accommodating attitude that Darin and Margaritaville offered to us. 100% recommend.
Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs was a fantastic venue. Darin is a Professional and has amazing advice and insight into what works and what doesn't. Highly responsive and organiz...
ed and as a result our wedding went off perfectly!!
Beautiful outdoor ceremony spot and brand new renovated Ballroom. Food was amazing! We had so many compliments about how good the food was. Some of the best wedding food our guests had ever experienced.
Guest rooms are all very close to the wedding spot for guests to stay the night after a long night of fun!
All of the staff is very professional and all chipped in to make our wedding day a dream come true.
Looking for a spot to get married in Palm Springs this is it!
I wanted to give a more recent review of the venue, since most are from Riviera days. Before we decided to book our small destination wedding at Margaritaville PS, we came out and ...
spent a weekend at the resort. As a guest, the experience is wonderful! Even the most inexpensive rooms have been updated and are comfortable and beautiful. The food is delicious! And the pool scene is great for your nieces and nephews and even the grandparents.
As the bride of a twice post-poned wedding, I couldn't have been more thankful for the banquet staff - especially Darin! He pays attention to all the details, and takes special care to make sure you are enjoying YOUR day and not worrying about the To-Do's. The venue was also super accommodating to some unique requests we had, so don't be afraid to paint your vision and be a little out of the box.
Pros
Wexler lawn is beautiful for both ceremony and reception
Public Areas have a cool hip retro vibe.
Pool area and grounds are great.
Cons -
Food Service forgot to serve the in...

After wedding bar on property was not open for after party despite prior confirmations.
Hotel Rooms need a renovation. Starlite suite was missing drapery - leading to lack of sleep!
I am writing this 5-Star review for how amazing the preparation process was. Darin took us on a full tour, going over every option we can choose for our wedding. He offered a bunch...
of ideas and was so helpful in being flexible. For example, I love a particular bourbon, and he was happy to switch it in as their offering over their listed option, and that one of the hors d'oeuvres from a menu we wouldn't have selected was able to transfer over to the one we picked. Just the little things that all add up into making exactly the event you want. I'll let him tell you all the other perks, but trust me- if you're considering a wedding in Palm Springs, you'd be lucky to have it at the Riviera with Darin as your guy. He was quick to respond, thoughtful, and dependable. Five stars!
love this place
our guest had so much fun at the wedding, food was great, ballroom was beautiful and the venue is beautiful. Patty the catering manager is really easy to work with.
