Desert Dreaming at Cactus Joe's

You have fallen in love with the possibility of exchanging your vows in the desert, but your search is only leading you to disappoint once you discover the applications, permits, and strict rules - whether at Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, or Eldorado Canyon's Dry Lake Bed this is federal land and you must submit the appropriate documentation to secure a time slot. The process and the waiting period is stressful for anyone, but don't you worry - Cactus Joe's is here to turn that dream to a reality.

 

Located 25 minutes from the Las Vegas strip just steps away from Red Rock Canyon is 5 acres of privately owned land that will soon be home to a botanical conservation project. We call this little slice of heaven Desert Love and it is owned by Cactus Joe's Nursery, an eclectic cactus nursery founded in 1986. Our botanical project is years away so for now we offer this location as a ceremony site. (Receptions occur at the nursery itself just across the road)

Ashley of Siello Weddings is the Weddings & Events Director for Cactus Joe's. As a planner herself who understands the frustration of working with venues, she strives to be as flexible as possible to allow couples to truly create a custom experience.
