Our Wedding

Desirae and Jack met in college at Chico State, where late nights, big friend groups, and a lot of fun laid the foundation for something more lasting. After graduation, Jack made the move to Los Angeles to join Desirae, and they’ve built their life there ever since. From trips through Europe and weekends in Miami to music festivals and concerts, they’ve always bonded over shared experiences and a love of live music. These days, their life in LA is filled with beach days, annual Dodgers games, lifelong friendships, playing vinyls, and an active, sun-soaked routine they’ve grown to love. In May 2027, they’re excited to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people who have been part of it all.

Our Story

Wedding VIPs

Semi-formal attire. Our wedding colors are inspired by Palm Springs sunsets and citrus tones, think pink, red, orange, yellow, and green. We’d love for guests to lean into the theme! The desert will be warm in May so suit jackets or slacks and a dress shirt without a jacket are welcome as well. Midi or floor-length dresses for the ladies. The reception will take place on decomposed granite, so block heels or flats are recommended.

Venue & Stay

We encourage guests to arrive Friday, May 21st. While we won't be hosting any formal events on Friday, arriving early will give you time to settle in and enjoy Palm Springs before the wedding weekend begins. Guests arriving Saturday should note that check-in at the Drift may be as late as 4:00pm, and our ceremony begins at 4:30pm. The hotel can hold luggage before check-in if needed.

The&nbsp;ceremony&nbsp;will&nbsp;begin&nbsp;at&nbsp;4:30pm&nbsp;on&nbsp;Saturday,&nbsp;May&nbsp;22nd&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;Desert&nbsp;Lawn&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Drift.

The Ceremony

Cocktail hour, dinner, and reception will all be held on-site at The Drift.

The Reception

Meet us poolside on Sunday at 11:00am (or whenever you rally!) for a laid-back day in the sun. We’ve rented cabanas so we can relax, sip, and unwind together. We’ll have some drinks provided, so come in your swimwear and enjoy one more desert day with us!
