Renaissance Indian Wells Resort Wedding

Alejandro and Claudia’s romantic wedding day began at Sacred Heart Church. There, they were surrounded by close family and friends as they said their vows and pledged their love to one another. Their wedding celebration continued at the beautiful Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa.

Alejandro and Claudia’s love was evident through their intimate and gentle smiles, sweet kisses and embraces which filled their wedding day. Having a large bridal party made their day all the more delightful!  There were many laughs and memorable moments with their bridal party!

Their wedding day style was elegant, gold wooden chairs paired with gold and white tables-cape designs gave their reception a stunning look. A red carpet entrance greeted guests and a custom backdrop made a fun area for candid portraits throughout the night. Their evening included not only a DJ, but also a traditional Banda, complete with horns, drums, and amazing dancing all night long. Cascading fresh flowers, flowed down their multi-tiered wedding cake. The centerpiece of the ballroom… white, sling back, diamond tufted chairs for the Bride and Groom! Beautiful!

Claudia’s Favorite Moment… “My favorite moments would be exiting the church with my husband and baby (yay!) and our first dance… There’s so many to choose from!!”

We love that she has so many favorite moments to choose from!!

Take a peek at their luxurious wedding day!
