The Morada was everything we hoped for in a venue for our wedding. The grounds are spectacular and it allowed for so much freedom for the guests to experience the beauty of Joshua Tree. It also is classy and elegant -- truly a memorable space that will leave guests in awe. We could not have imagined anywhere else more perfect and the staff care deeply about making your experience wonderful. -

I was honored to coordinate Courtney + Andreas' wedding at The Morada on May 4, 2024! The entire Happily Ever Adventure Co team was delighted with how the staff at The Morada went above and beyond for our couple throughout the entire process, from walkthrough through packing up the day after! They were in constant communication with us to help provide the best service despite drastic weather. We would be over the moon to work with The Morada again anytime! I highly recommend this desert venue to any couples looking for a stunning location for their wedding, complete with top notch service. -

Both Hunter and Devon provided the most relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Morada. They were so accommodating and helpful! We hosted a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony and reception on the property and it was one for the books. Our stay was everything we had imagined. I HIGHLY recommend staying here and hosting your wedding at the property. -

Absolutely wonderful venue
Just Married at the Morada! We had a wonderful 80 guest wedding at this site. The backdrop is as beautiful as you can imagine. There are multiple areas for your ceremony and a variety of areas for your reception. Devon and her staff are a dream to work with and will help you throughout the process. With a site like this, you don't really need to bring in a huge amount of decor, rather, you let the site become the decor. -

Dream Wedding Made Possible
My wife and I had an idea of a wedding location as we went into looking for venues, looking for a place we didn't have to do much to in-terms of decor. We wanted somewhere with a natural beauty that was breath taking. When we went to go see the Morada in person we were speechless at the beauty and character the property had. We instantly saw this as our venue, the price point was surprisingly right in our budget and we had no trouble locking in our date. A year and months later we were saying our vows and dancing with one and another under the beautiful Joshua Tree sky surrounded by our loved ones and the beautiful rocks and cactuses the Morada has to offer. Our check in was seamless, our set up and wedding was as easy as easy can be. Not just my wife but our family who was able to stay with us for the weekend had a dream come true all possible to the Morada and the capabilities it offered. Not to mention they have an amazing network of vendors who are familiar with the property and location witch is a major plus. All and all we highly recommend the Morada to any couple looking for an intimate wedding or event under the desert sky. -

The Morada was the perfect venue. As soon as we got there we knew we had to do it there. All the details were perfect aligned with the things we were looking for and Devon was always very nice and easy to talk when needed. Thank you so much! -

The folks that own and operate it are so kind, organized, communicative and the some. This venue offers a beautiful background with a wide array of options for layout of your event etc. They worked with us as we planned our event, had questions, and needed tips/guidance on certain things for our event. They also know the best vendors to work with in town, and the vendors rave about this venue as well :)
The house/property itself is stunning. Truly, jaw dropping beautiful. I will also add that staying there is very easy and comfortable, so if you can spring for that in your budget it is worth it. We stayed there all weekend with our friends (leading up to the weekend) and loved lounging by the pool during the day and sitting by the fire pit at night. It is the perfect distance from the main strip in town (so close, 10 mins) and also secluded enough to feel like you are out IN nature. ALL of our wedding guests and family were raving about how beautiful it is and how peaceful the property vibes are too! It was also an added lovely touch that the casita and house can separate our the wedding parties when getting ready.
The nature surrounding the property is unbeatable. Stunning sunrises and sunsets. The star gazing is also super clear at night. There are a million little places you can take pictures and some literally PERFECT backdrops for the ceremony, family pics, and portraits.
Honestly if you are planning a wedding out in Joshua Tree, pick this venue. It is easy to create the vibe you want for your event, and you will be so relaxed and feel the peace and beauty of Joshua Tree the whole time! -

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincerest gratitude for the incredible experience my new wife and I had at this stunning venue for our wedding.
We chose to have a Mexican-inspired wedding, and the setting at Morada was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beauty of the desert landscape and the privacy that the property offered. The property backs up to hundreds of acres of pristine desert landscape. The attention to detail and impeccable design of the space created a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented our vision for the day.
The staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure that every aspect of our special day was executed flawlessly. From the delicious food to the outstanding service, everything was simply perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beauty of the venue.
What truly made our experience at Morada unforgettable, however, was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure that our wedding was everything we hoped it would be. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect, and we felt so taken care of throughout the entire day.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we will cherish the memories forever. We are already looking forward to returning to Morada for future special occasions.

10/10 recommend the Morada for your Joshua Tree Wedding!
Choosing where to have your wedding is a HUGE decision, so when we decided we wanted to get married in Joshua Tree, we looked at several spots in the area. As soon as we visited the Morada we KNEW this was it. The grounds and house are simply stunning - something you would see in the pages of Architectural Digest. The layout was perfect for the wedding and had a seamless flow- with a gorgeous outdoor scenic spot where we had our ceremony, leading to the yard and beautiful patio where we had a cocktail hour, dinner and reception. Having a separate, beautiful studio with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen fully detached from the main house was so ideal for the bride and groom to be able to get ready separately on the morning of the wedding. Devon was especially helpful, giving us a full tour, being in constant communication when we had any questions and providing a list of suggested vendors to help us with planning. So many of our guests have raved to us about how magical and unique our venue was and we couldn’t be happier we chose the Morada. -

We couldn't have asked for more! From the relaxing night before the big day (much needed!) to a perfect ceremony, to the blow out reception, Devon and her husband anticipated all of our needs and went above and beyond them! My wife and I plan on returning to the Morada for our anniversaries so we can always remember the best day of our lives!Morada's reply:
Thank you for sharing! It was such a pleasure to have you host your wedding with us. We can't wait to have you back in the near future :) -

We had such an incredible wedding at the Morada! The location is stunning and serene with breathtaking views (especially sunset from the hills!), the staff were so accommodating and awesome, and the whole weekend was beyond our expectations. Highly recommend the Morada for any wedding, event, party or just a weekend getaway. -

The Morada is an absolutely MAGICAL place to get married – and I will cherish the memories I have here forever. The interior spaces are impeccably designed, clean and beautiful. Having our ceremony next to the rock formations of Joshua Tree was a dream – and the energy at this location is incredible. The Morada team is responsive and easy to work with. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

We got married here in April, the weather, the space, the venue, and the location was perfect. The evening was a night we'll neve forget, the house was emaculate and the backdrop was beautiful.
The only cons are the road to get to the house isn't paved, but that's only for about 1 mile.
If you are looking in JT, and you can't decide, come here, see the space and book it. Devon & Hunter were great! -

The Morada is by far one of the best venues (and accommodations) we've worked with. They were communicative, kind, and professional. The place is even more beautiful in person and the staff accommodating and helpful. Would love to work here again!Morada's reply:
Thank you, Celia! It was an absolute pleasure working with you :) I hope we can host more of your upcoming weddings! -

Dream venue
We had bad luck wedding planning with two previous wedding venues falling through. In hindsight, I am so glad they did, because those circumstances led me to Devon and the Morada. Devon was kind enough to accommodate us and our 50+guests and various vendors with less than 6 weeks to our wedding date. She was very reliable and responsive throughout the process, which was very much appreciated after so much stress dealing with other venues. The Morada has gorgeous natural desert landscape giving us the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception; the decor we had was barely needed and simply served as accents to the existing aesthetic. The interior of the home is also beautiful and perfectly desert-chic. The other structure on the property was the ideal place for me, (the bride), to get ready, and accommodated my three girlfriends comfortably for the weekend. We received SO many compliments from our guests on having such a special venue. If you are looking for a truly unique and unforgettable venue for your event, look no further. -

Morada is magical! My husband and I met in Joshua Tree so we were determined to return to our beloved desert to tie the knot. This is a classy and modern property surrounded by the most beautiful Joshua Tree setting. I stumbled upon it and booked immediately because it was reasonably priced, we were able to stay on property and host a “backyard” style wedding in their spacious lot, along with enjoy the pool and hot tub all weekend! We also loved the studio space which we used as a bridal suite and honeymoon suite. The environment is already so lovely that minimal decor is needed. We had a fully outdoor wedding and reception, with plenty of space (3 bedrooms + the studio) to host friends and family who helped us set up. The reception in the backyard was complete with lights and disco ball on the patio, fire pits to sit around, and plenty of space to set up dessert and drinks, and party all night long! Devon was lovely to work with, very responsive and helpful, and flexible in accommodating my requests. We had the most beautiful and special wedding, and hold this place very close to our hearts. -
