Joshua Tree is a SoCal hotspot (literally) full of amazing desert landscapes, rock formations, and beautiful sunsets. Basically, if you're planning a birthday celebration here, you should count yourself lucky.
The area is mostly famous for Joshua Tree National Park, and while it may not exactly be centrally located, it's near attractions like downtown Palm Springs, Indian Canyons Golf Resort, and the San Bernardino National Forest, which add interest to the festivities. And, for festival-goers, it's a mere hour's drive to the Coachella Valley.
Joshua Tree is truly the epicenter of unique party venues. From eye-catching homes with much-needed pools to campgrounds and ranches, this spot is ideal for your next holiday party, engagement party, and of course, birthday party. And the best way to search all the suitable venues in a single platform is with Giggster.
Giggster curates the top venues for private parties in Joshua Tree so that you're not looking everywhere for the perfect fit. Whether the birthdays are dinner parties, casual get-togethers, or all-night affairs, we've got a location that will impress for prices everyone can afford. Start your search now and you'll be well on your way to an unforgettable experience!
Outdoor spaces where the awe-inspiring night sky is on display or high-energy nightclubs await you in the Giggster app. Our venues run the gamut and always ensure you can make the most of the lovely surroundings.
Giggster offers birthday party spots in lots of areas near Joshua Tree National Park, including Hidden River, Sunfair, and Yucca Valley. Wherever you want to be, we can accommodate.
In general, Joshua Tree party venues skew modern and do their best to blend in with the desert landscape. But, that doesn't mean you can't also find traditional saloons full of warm wood or a retro desert oasis ideal for a 70s-themed party.
With the desert heat, booking a venue with both outdoor and indoor space is recommended, and we have those in spades. Luxurious homes with air conditioning and fully-equipped BBQ areas, and compounds with tennis courts, a pool, and fantastic mountain views are just some of the Giggster options for an unforgettable birthday party.
However big or small your guest list, you'll find an ideally-sized party venue easily. From houses made for small gatherings of up to 30 people to acres of unspoiled land for 200 or more guests, accommodating everyone comfortably won't be an issue.
Exceptional Variety & Quality: Whatever your birthday vision, the app is absolutely full of locations that work for special events like this. From sprawling homes with beautiful property and all the amenities to a more rustic camping experience, Giggster's 60 total Joshua Tree venues have all your needs taken care of.
Hassle-Free Booking: Gone are the days of searching for individual venues and calling for extra information. With Giggster, the filters allow you to drill down into the types, features, and locations you want. Make your final decision easily because everything, like pricing, which is as low as $50/hour, availability, and clear images, is available. In rare cases when all your questions aren't answered, simply message the site hosts and you'll get a fast response to clarify.
24-Hour Free Cancellation Policy: Giggster offers a 24-hour grace period when our venues are booked at least 48 hours in advance. Change the date, timing, or the entire birthday party venue without any fees.
Platform Protections: Let's assume you've picked a fabulous spot like Joshua Tree Private Pueblo Retreat with Views! for the event. If you're concerned about damage to the venue or liability in case of accidents, add on optional coverage for both. And, you can also choose to extend the free cancellation timeframe if 24 hours doesn't seem like enough.
Although Joshua Tree is a fun and unique place to celebrate, it may not be for everyone. Do a quick double-check to confirm this is the place you want to toast another year.
Advantages
The natural scenery surrounding pretty much all the birthday party venues in Joshua Tree is absolutely stunning. See for miles and enjoy the interesting topography from almost every room and angle.
Since Joshua Tree isn't a very populated area, it's super easy to find venues with total privacy and limited (if any) neighbors. Venues can also be a very short drive from the North, South, or West Entrance to Joshua Tree National Park if needed.
Joshua Tree is a creative hub and welcoming community. You and our guests will immediately feel at home, and the venues here can definitely have a quirky or artsy vibe if that fits your tastes.
Disadvantages
Although part of its charm, Joshua Tree is remote. It'll take guests two to three hours to drive here from Los Angeles, and the same goes for any vendors you're hiring, like caterers and entertainers. This added travel time can quickly up the party costs.
Because it's not near a big city and all the conveniences that come with it, venues here might have less-than-reliable wi-fi and cell signals, and the selection of local vendors will be limited.
The desert can be an inhospitable place, which means taking extra precautions and extra planning. It's blisteringly hot here, so an indoor air-conditioned space or a pool in which to cool off is a must. You and your guests might also run into animals like snakes and coyotes, which can be off-putting.
You need to decide what your birthday festivities will entail before booking a meeting space for everyone. Think of guest count, activities, indoor/outdoor needs, and style. Of the 60 venue options in the app, start with these to get the creative juices flowing:
Ranches and Houses – All the Comfort and Convenience. When you're seemingly in the middle of nowhere, the comfort and functionality of a proper home are ideal. You'll have a gourmet kitchen, cozy couches, and the crucial air conditioning to beat the desert heat. Add in a pool and your party is bound to be a hit!
Cabins – A Rustic Experience. The desert landscape can lend itself well to simpler surroundings that let nature take the stage. Buck the Joshua Tree modern trend and rent a space with wood beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the mountains on your doorstep.
Raw Land – Total Customization. For large gatherings where you want the option to run wild, book a site with acres and acres of land to explore. Set up a telescope to observe the night sky with no distractions, and bring your tents and RVs to make a weekend of it.
Campgrounds – Amazing Views. With a communal fire pit, lake views, and amenities like restrooms, an established campground can be a good alternative to raw land. When you have exclusive use of the entire area for this special occasion, you won't be disturbed by anyone or have to worry as much about noise complaints.
Studios – Lots of Indoor Space. A dance studio is a completely flexible space ideal for dancing (of course), a birthday yoga retreat, or cocktail parties with the addition of some taller tables. A polished wood dance floor, minimal decor, and large mirrors make even smaller spaces feel large.
Joshua Tree isn't close to a big city for last-minute purchases, which makes party planning crucial to the event's ultimate success.
Book the Perfect Space – Without the perfect place to hold the party, you can set yourself up for disaster. Use the Giggster app to review all the options to choose the spot that's just right for you. Look for useful amenities like a pool, shade structures, air conditioning, and BBQs, and make sure you have the indoor and outdoor space you need.
Don't Forget About Desert Logistics – The remoteness and desert surroundings here present definite challenges. It's so important to keep everyone hydrated, purchase all supplies, including food, in advance, and hire vendors that are willing to make the trek to Joshua Tree.
Honor the Location – Pay homage to this unique area and add elements at the party that reflect the surroundings—yoga, sound baths, and desert hikes, anyone? Plus, you can't really go wrong with a desert-inspired playlist full of relaxing tunes!
An epic birthday bash doesn't have to break the bank as long as you take steps to cut costs where you can:
Smaller guest lists mean smaller budgets.
When you invite too many people, it translates to larger, more expensive venues, higher food costs, and pricier transportation to get everyone to this remote location. Keep the numbers low and aim for a more intimate and personal experience with just your close family and friends.
Don't shop local.
Because Joshua Tree is "out there," local grocery stores will be more expensive. Buy all your supplies, like decor, food, and drinks, in a city like Palm Springs or LA and bring them to the venue yourself. Aside from the added costs, Joshua Tree stores won't have the selection you want, either.
Don't overdo it on decor.
Your goal should be to let the natural landscape and existing venue features be the party's decor (aside from maybe a banner and some inexpensive balloons). Keep it minimalist, and the event will fit in with the typical Joshua Tree aesthetic and save money.
When you have an important upcoming event like a milestone birthday, Giggster is your gateway to the area's top party venues. And, once you've downloaded the app, it'll be that much easier to plan other functions like corporate events, bridal showers, post-wedding brunches, family reunions, and rehearsal dinners. Not even your imagination can limit you with Giggster!
