Palm Springs Destination Vintage Weddings

Of swinging jazz big bands music, Old Hollywood and the Rat Pack….

From Santa Barbara to Temecula and Palm Springs, Old Hollywood vintage weddings are fun!

The nostalgia loving bride who wears a vintage wedding dress is probably the same bride who will like a location in the California wine country, overlooking the ocean in La Jolla, somewhere in Malibu, glorious Santa Barbara, Newport Beach or in retro-vintage Palm Springs.

Palm Springs is synonymous with Frank Sinatra, who used to arrive for all-night card games at a local Palm Springs area restaurant, Domenick’s, dressed in his pajamas and bathrobe. A sign outside of Sinatra’s estate read: Forget the dog. Beware of the Owner.

Palm Springs is a unique area, with a lot of architectural and show business history. Ferociously hot in the summer, and freezing in the winter after the sun goes down. I love the place! Our vintage jazz, swing and big band combos fit into the scenery perfectly. And by that I don’t just mean the Rat Pack songs but all of the romantic music of the 1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s. The Rat Pack’s heydey was actually in the 1950’s and 1960’s, in a time that Palm Springs architecture so gorgeously reflects.

Palm Springs is one of my favorite places in the world, and the perfect setting for an Old Hollywood Wedding.
