Your presence is our present! Seriously, we have enough shit already. Thanks for taking the time to travel to our wedding.

Our welcome dinner is dressy casual and the wedding is cocktail attire. Please keep the weather in mind and be aware that most of the wedding day will be held on grass.

Sarah does not believe in the concept of “uPsTaGiNg ThE bRiDe”. Trust that we will be donning our best and are excited to see you in yours. This is your time to shine! Neon green ostrich feathers? A dress cut down to the naval? Velvet in the summer? All choices Sarah has made. Please come as your best self and have a little fun!

If you aren’t familiar with California, Palm Springs is located in the Coachella Valley (yes, that Coachella.) This is the desert, and the weather is different than you might be used to.

Daytime temps this time of year will be 90-100F, and there won’t be a cloud in the sky. That said, humidity is very low, meaning that 100F feels more comfortable than a muggy 80F day in the midwest. That said, you should still plan to wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, and dress comfortably.

Evenings cool fast after sunset, and may even become chilly depending on the daytime high. Expect temperatures in the low 70Fs a few hours after sunset, which will feel cooler than you might expect because of the lack of humidity.

Palm Springs has lots of great places to eat and drink. Some of our favorites are Koffi, Sherman’s Deli, Cheeky’s and Tac/Quilla.

There are lots of things to do within the city. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a classic, taking you from the desert floor to an elevation of 8500 ft in the San Jacinto mountains. In the city, the Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs Air Museum, and Morton Botanical are a great place to spend a few hours.

Palm Springs is known for design, and you’ll find lots of shops that lean in. Mojave Flea Trading Post and The Shops at 1345 are a great place to pick up home decor & designer clothing. If you are looking for an edgy souvenir, The Michael Weems Collection won't disappoint.

Joshua Tree National Park, about an hour and a half away from Palm Springs, is one of our favorite national parks and is a great place to spend an afternoon. If you are feeling adventruous, It’s also one of the darkest places in North America, and is great for stargazing.

Unless you plan to leave Palm Springs, you will not need a car. Casa Cody is located two blocks away from the Palm Canyon road, which has plenty of restaurants, shops and bars. Uber is plentiful if you plan on doing activities within town.

If you are driving or plan on renting a car there are a few designated parking spots in front of the hotel and plenty of free street parking. Contrary to what Fox News might have tried to brainwash you with, no one will steal or break into your car. Matt parks his Porsche on the street, your rental Corolla will be fine.

All of our events, along with the hotel grounds, will be adults only for our weekend. If you are unable to travel without your children and plan to stay with them offsite, please let us know so we can re-assign the room we are holding for you to someone else.

TL;DR — yes. Later this year we’ll be sending out formal invitations which will include information on how to complete your booking via phone at the hotel. At this time, they will be able to advise on options to stay longer.

Please note that public rates for Casa Cody may be significantly higher than the rate we are able to offer for the weekend.

We worked with the hotel to offer rates that are significantly lower than the published rates. We will be able to share final prices later this year, but we expect them to be around $300 per night.

Just like we are making a seating chart we will be assigning rooms to keep family and friends near one another. The hotel will make sure you are assigned to the correct room at the time of booking.

All of our events, along with the hotel grounds, will be adults only.

We expect to have a limited number of rooms available onsite at Casa Cody. We'll share more information about availability, along with nearby hotels for those who prefer to stay off site, later this year.

Nope! We bought the whole thing out, so all of the pools, lobby cafe, and grounds will be open to all guests regardless of where they are staying for the whole weekend.
