We had the honor of celebrating our wedding at Rimrock Ranch on November 1st, and I cannot emphasize enough what an incredible experience we had. From our first meeting, Gwen made sure we were taken care of — from a detailed list of recommended vendors (all of whom were amazing), so check-ins as we got closer to our date, being available as my stress started to spike, her rockstar team who welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed — and most of all, the most magical backdrop for our special day. Rimrock was perfect.
We had about 120 guests, which felt like the perfect size for us. There was enough parking for all (we did encourage carpooling and pre-booking taxis just to be sure). We had several of our friends stay on the ranch with us, which made the weekend even more special. We held a welcome dinner Friday night, with about 40-50 people — Ranch staff made sure we had plenty of adult beverages while we enjoyed everyone’s company. The Hatch House was lovely, and the perfect spot for me and my ladies to get our hair and makeup done before the ceremony. And the ceremony location — pure magic.
The venue naturally created so many beautiful photo opportunities for our guests, with that gorgeous sunset leaving everyone in awe. Gwen even offered to let us take some wedding photos with one of her horses! Not too hot or cold, but they had plenty of blankets for anyone who needed one.
By the time it was over, my gratitude was endless — Gwen, Eric and their team took such good care of us, and I felt so happy with every single moment. Five stars, highly recommend!!! Love you, Rimrock!!

We wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding at Rimrock, and wholeheartedly encourage any curious couples to have their own celebrations of love here! Gwen was so helpful every step of the way, and the service provided over our 3 days at Rimrock was top-notch. We knew we were in great hands and our planner was able to coordinate with the Rimrock staff with no issues, leading to a seamless and worry-free wedding day for us. The site is beautiful, remote enough for privacy but still a short drive to grocery stores, etc. Having the option to have friends and family stay onsite was perfect, and the loveliest bonus of all - Gwen's two sweet dogs are there to hang out too : ) There's even horses on the property! If you're looking for a stunning venue with amazing people to help make your wedding dreams come true, look no further than Rimrock Ranch.

We got married at Rimrock Ranch back in early October, and we could not have envisioned our wedding any better. We have a soft spot for the desert, especially the Joshua Tree area, and this ranch captures all of that beauty and creates such an amazing venue. Gwen and Eric take such good care of the land and the old cabins, and they were so welcoming, fun, energetic and knowledgable. Truly wonderful hosts! If you're looking for venues in the SoCal area, this place is a no-brainer. We had the time of our lives!

We got married at Rimrock Ranch on 9.13.25. We were expecting to have an incredible weekend just based on our tour of the venue last year and our interactions with Gwen and Eric during our planning process, but the result was far and beyond better than we could have ever dreamed up. Gwen and Eric were extremely communicative and responsive, they addressed every question that came up, and provided us with all the info we needed about the venue, logistics, the surrounding area, and what to expect during our stay. It's worth noting that we stayed on the property for four days with friends and family and also hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on property the night before we got married. The entire team and staff were so friendly and accommodating and made us and our guests feel like friends we've known forever. This place is truly magical - from the perfectly maintained grounds to the vintage aesthetics curated (and hand made in many instances) you can feel how much love and care has been put in to making Rimrock the place that it is today. The venue has a rich history behind it and it feels like such a privilege to have been able to put our personal stamp on it for even just a weekend. Between the two event days, we worked with vendors provided by Rimrock, but also brought in multiple vendors and Gwen and Eric worked seamlessly with our planners and vendors to coordinate deliveries, set up, and event kickoff. Rimrock's onsite team provided excellent service for our bar and kept everything looking tidy and put together the entire weekend. Being able to rent out the entire property for our wedding party made the weekend extra special and we felt really lucky to be able to give our friends and family that kind of "home away from home" type of experience for a long weekend. And as an added bonus, we also were able to bring our pup and she had a blast playing all weekend with Gwen and Eric's sweet dogs, too. We hosted 100 guests and we had more than enough space for guests to spread out comfortably but it also still felt intimate enough to mingle with everyone. The property inherently provides amazing vegetation and florals as well as seating areas and fire pits. With hosting multiple events and a tight budget, hosting our weekend here had some built in features (florals, rentals, tables, glassware, place settings, restrooms, lodging) that made it possible to achieve our goals and stick to our budget plans. The collaboration and pre-existing personal and business relationship between Gwen and Eric & team and our planners (Bee Loved) was a game changer and we'd highly recommend working with local hi/low desert vendors and teams. A thousand thank you's would never do our gratitude justice - thank you Gwen & Eric for an amazing weekend. We will be back to visit!!!

Rim Rock was perfect. It was everything and more and beyond my wildest dreams. Gwen and her team did an amazing job, she helped with every detail (big or small). I was beyond impressed by their kindness and passion in the work. I will recommend anyone holding their wedding at this beautiful space. The space has so much character, furniture that was perfect for our event. I truly am so happy and pleased. Thank you Gwen and team! 🥰
