Almond Grove Manor by Wedgewood Weddings
34614 Ave 9, Madera, CA 93636, USA
- Spaces for 250 Guests
Almond Grove Manor by Wedgewood Weddings is a 1912 mansion with a second life. Designed by Charles K. Kirby Jr. for a lot in Fresno, it hosted a concert baritone's private recitals in the 1930s and 1940s, and in 1965 it was cut in two and moved to six acres among the almond orchards on the outskirts of Fresno and Madera, California. The Bishel family added Amish-built gazebos, rose gardens, and fountains in 2014, and those grounds now hold every part of a celebration outdoors: a ceremony on the Manor Lawn in front of the white pillars, cocktails in The Grove between the manor and the orchards, and dinner in the Garden Reception among the roses, the gazebos, a fountain, and a pond, with the Courtyard Pavilion overhead on hot or rainy days. The Blossom & Orchard Suites sit steps from the reception, and catering and bar service are provided by the venue.

Bermuda Dunes by Wedgewood Weddings
42765 Adams St, Bermuda Dunes, CA 92203, USA
- Spaces for 250 Guests
Say "I do" where legends played and Hollywood's golden era came alive. Bermuda Dunes by Wedgewood Weddings is one of the Coachella Valley's most storied addresses — a historic golf and country club community that has welcomed celebrities, champions, and tastemakers since 1959. Designed by William F. Bell with rolling dunes and palm-lined fairways inspired by coastal and British courses, the property carries a legacy that few venues can match. Arnold Palmer claimed his first PGA win here in 1960 and returned for his last in 1973. The Bob Hope Desert Classic called this course home for decades, and luminaries like Clark Gable and Cary Grant were regulars on the grounds. Today, Bermuda Dunes is being reimagined as a destination wedding venue without losing an ounce of that original character. The aesthetic is unmistakably mid-century modern — warm, sophisticated, and rooted in the desert luxury that defines Palm Springs style at its finest. Sweeping course views, lakeside ceremony settings, and sun-drenched outdoor terraces frame every celebration with natural drama. Nestled just outside Palm Springs, Bermuda Dunes draws couples from across Southern California and beyond who are looking for something more than a ballroom. This is a living landmark — a place where the fairways carry history, the architecture tells a story, and your wedding becomes part of a legacy that stretches back more than six decades.
