The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs is pretty rad. It’s funky and fun and stylish and has a single mission of ensuring that it’s guests have a really good time. The design details are excellent, food is tasty and inexpensive, and the snow cone cocktails are exceptionally refreshing after a hard day lounging by the pool. Amanda and Kristina have both (separately) made the trip out to the desert to scope out the scene and we’ve made an executive decision that someone needs to get married here. Soon.

On top of all the hipster glory that comes standard with your room rate, it’s pretty much set up for a party due to the following:
1. Photobooth in the lobby (just set your guest book table up next to it, right?)
2. The Amigo Room, a vintage roadhouse dive bar complete with inventive cocktails, mexican bank note coated tables, and a real stuffed bear behind the bar. (amazing rehearsal dinner venue)
3. Free bike rentals to be used for the touring of Palm Springs
4. Outdoor fireplace lounges for congregating over cocktails when the sun goes down.
5. A holistic spa with outdoor Yurt treatment rooms
6. And of course Commune, their huge event space that opens onto a pool and patio. Which is where the weddin’ would be.
It’s so great. And the best part is that entire concept is so well designed, you wouldn’t have to do much else in terms of decor for the wedding.
Some Ace-appropriate paper inspiration for your invites, your rock and roll save-the-date posters, and other miscellany:

And our friends at Hammerpress sent over some amazing new invites they’ve been working on for the upcoming wedding season. We’re thinking their stylings would be perfect for a wedding at the Ace:
oooooooooh. They are so good. More from Hammerpress coming up. They’ve sent a bounty of pretty paper to be shared with you dearest readers.

I would love to renew our vows there…now if I could just move CA closer to AL or somehow charter my own 747 for everybody.
Love it! The Ace’s own paper goods were super inspiring from the room key to the King’s Highway menu to mini-bar list.
Oh, those invitations from Hammerpress are just gorgeous!
*swoon* love the woodgrain and dark brown papers. i’d like to do something similar for my invitations.
wow, this is great…we’re actually trying to find a fun place to go for a little honeymoon {we want to stay as green as possible & forgo the carbon-emissions of a plane ride}…we can drive our biodiesel powered car out to palm springs and were looking for cool spots to stay! this one looks great…
thanks for posting!
LOVE these!
we love the ace! they are really dedicated to supporting amazing artists and being affordable enough to be frequented by people who can actually appreciate the art they create. unique concept! nice post. -MICHAEL
i am so jealous. serious venue envy. what a great space!
forget about having my wedding here, can i just move in instead?
The Ace is gorgeous! Nice post. I love Palm Springs and it has a vibe that would be excellent for a wedding…especially a vintage inspired one.
Great stationery ideas. Keep them coming!
This all looks like a fantastic wedding in the making. Awesome.
was just trying to convince the fiance to have the bachelor thing out there. since we can’t get married here someone has to enjoy it for me.
and reception at capo? definitely jealous, i have to admit it.

these are gorgeous, they fit the theme of modern chic i am looking for
keep up the good work
Great post showing how everything ties together from the theme of the venue! I love to see unique venues and what people do with the their details to make it all come together! There are a ton of weddings here in Colorado and we have a ton of venues! But we have seen a lot of them and so it’s fun to see other places; hopefully we will get to do the photography for a wedding at a place like this someday
Thanks for the awesome post!
this is actually one of the venues I am looking at for my fall wedding next year!!! it’s actually between The Ace and The Riviera. thank you for posting all of the extra wonderful ideas. maybe it will help the hubby-to-be to envision a wedding at this location.
I would also like to suggest “www.palmcanyonhotel.com”. It is a Palm Springs Hotel located in America’s desert playground with a modern hip hotel, motel and affordable resort. Use promotional code “LKSC” and get 10% discount on reservations.
What a great space. I also found a great venue in Oak Glen which is 30 miles west of PS off the 10 freeway. The Orchard Events Center has complete package deals which is the way we are going. It is totally going to help us stay on budget. They are also hosting a wedding giveaway contest. Check them out. theorchardevents.com
These guys are so great.
