About Desert Love in Las Vegas

The appeal of this outdoor venue changes with the seasons. In summer it’s a stark reminder that the desert is a hot and intimidating outpost for rugged individuals who can brave the elements.

During winter and monsoon season occasional weather patterns fill the sky with swoopy and wispy clouds providing spectacular sunsets. Spring and fall offer idyllic days and comfortable temperatures perfect for long photo sessions.

With all the calm and beauty surrounding you and your partner on your special day, you won’t believe you’re just minutes away from the bright lights and loud beats of the Vegas Strip.

"From start to finish, working with Cactus Collective was an absolute dream. Their communicative and efficient approach made the entire wedding planning process smooth and stress-free. We always felt fully informed and supported. Every question was answered, and every concern was addressed with care and attentiveness.

What truly stood out was their intimate and personalized service. Cactus Collective used the personal information we provided to make sure that our wedding reflected who we are as a couple. Their ability to infuse who we are into the details made the day feel special and intimate.

Their kindness was another highlight of our experience. Every member of the team was genuinely happy to help. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, and their warmth and generosity made us feel truly valued throughout the entire process.

Cactus Collective provided not just exceptional planning and execution, but a heartfelt, personalized experience that made our wedding day unforgettable.

"Having Cactus Collective plan our elopement to Eldorado Canyon is one of the best decisions we made. With only about 6 weeks to put everything together, I wasn't sure there'd be enough time to secure our venue and organize everything but CC had our permit for our desired location within 4 days.

Every step along the way went seamlessly with the help of Ginger, Penny, Mel and the rest of the team. The client portal made it so easy to communicate and do everything that needed to be done in preparation for our big day so all we had to do was show up.

If you're looking for a fun and stress free wedding experience, I highly recommend Cactus Collective to help plan your special day. Their comprehensive and detailed approach makes it so simple for you to relax and enjoy the process."

Take The Road Less Traveled on Your Wedding Day

Desert Love is an excellent venue option for couples in need of a little more space and flexibility. Arbors, decorations, seating and other add ons are allowed. This venue is close enough to Red Rock Canyon to provide the amazing views the area is known for, but secluded from the tourist crowds that flock to the park itself. Soak up the desert’s beauty while celebrating your love story.
