“Heart of the Desert made our daughter’s wedding such a wonderful event. Marianne, Marlo, and all the staff were amazing. From day one, Marlo worked with us and communicated with us up until the wedding. The day of the wedding the entire staff helped in making it as smooth as possible for us. The servers, the wait staff, and set up crew were more than we could have asked for. Thank you to all of the Heart of the Desert staff for making this a fabulous day!”
