We had our wedding at the Sands Hotel on June 1, 2024. From the moment we sent an initial inquiry, the professionalism, communication and service that we received over the past year of planning was truly amazing. Olivia Prescott was such a pleasure to work with. I don't think I've ever encountered someone with better attention to detail and faster communication. (Which is exactly what you want when planning a wedding!) She takes pride in what she does, was very accommodating with our requests, and she made the day more special than we could have ever imagined it to be.

We toured a few other venues in the Palm Springs area, and what solidified the Sands for us was that they include food, drinks, chairs, cutlery, etc in their package. It makes the planning process so much less stressful, and the Pink Cabana food is also AMAZING! You also get the entire hotel from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning with a buyout, so we were able to host a pool party on Friday along with welcome drinks in the evening, and no other hotel guests were there.

If you are considering the Sands for a wedding venue, please just SAY YES!! We have received so many compliments from our guests saying it's one of the best weddings they have been to and that the rooms/accommodations were so nice. Thank you Olivia and the Sands for making our day so wonderful. We will cherish the memories from this day forever!

I can say only good things about the Sands. My daughter had her weekend wedding here. Everyone went above and beyond what was expected. The Sands hotel has so many different beautiful areas. Starting from the Friday pool party where our two families could get to know each other, the Olive Grove for a magical ceremony and the delicious reception around the pool. The whole weekend was perfect. The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection. Juicy not dry which is hard to do when you are serving 150 people. After the dancing in the Pink Cabana everyone went in the pool and hot tub. Where else can you do that.
This was an amazing wedding for the couple, their family and friends.

Olivia, the Director of Sales, at the Sands was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, direct, responsive, and organized. She made all coordination with the Sands Hotel & Spa easy. She instilled great confidence and our wedding was perfect! I'm so impressed by how on top of everything she was! She also worked seamlessly with our wedding planner.

The hotel itself was absolutely wonderful for our wedding. Not only were the staff extremely kind, but they had a friendliness and warmth that made our wedding guests feel welcome and cared for.

The only issues that came up, were some issues with room keys which frequently had to be re-programmed and a couple of room mix-ups. Everything was handled professionally however!
