The Enchanted Desert

Gather and celebrate at the Enchanted Desert, our most popular and upscale event venue at Metate Ranch. Located on two levels, this stunning location offers a distinctive and private outdoor space superimposed against a magnificent natural desert backdrop of striking canyon walls and native palms. The upper level features our recreated Cahuilla Indian Village which sits on the archaeological site of the ancient Cahuilla Village of Paltewet. Our Celebration Stage sits beside a sparkling pond with spectacular mountain views and features a beautiful, ornate metal arch, providing an amazing photo spot for any occasion. During your event, guests will have a blast playing a variety of interactive games in our Outdoor Games arcade. The lower level is home to the main event space featuring two stone-inlaid bars, a large circular fire pit, comfortable shaded seating area, catering and buffet areas, restrooms, and more.
