We could not have asked for a more perfect venue to have our wedding than the Oasis at Death Valley.  We were originally planning a reception for over 100 people, but due to covid reduced it to an intimate family wedding of 11 total.  Amber Shields became our de facto wedding planner, and she did a fantastic job of arranging the ceremony to the reception and everything in between.  Both the ceremony and the reception were held in the Mission Gardens, across from the Inn at the Oasis, which is a lovely outdoor event space secluded from hotel guests and park visitors.  Amber and the team at the Oasis were consummate professionals, ensuring that all of the small personal  details were perfectly executed from the wedding runner, to the centerpieces and the cake topper. The Oasis was able to accommodate all of our requests, even with the small group, to ensure that our wedding weekend was completely stress free.  Amber blocked out hotel rooms, helped with the "rehearsal" dinner reservations, and even arranged box lunches and dinner for the day after the wedding.  This allowed us to truly have a vacation at the Oasis with our families, which is what weddings should be all about!  
Planning a wedding at any time is complicated, and having a wedding during covid only added to the stress.  We were in amazing hands with the Oasis, the staff was respectful of maintaining distance and was always wearing a mask. We were also fortunate that the entire event was set outside, which allowed our families to sit and relax at their own household tables and allay concerns about eating dinner together. 
If you love Death Valley as much as we do, and are considering planning a wedding or another event there please please contact Amber Shields.  We first were in touch with her in November of 2019, and her expertise and professionalism helped us make the decision to move forward with our wedding even with all of the back and forth during these uncertain times.  The wedding ceremony and reception ended up being so much more special and memorable, we cannot thank Amber and the Oasis team enough for making it happen!!

We were very excited to have our wedding at this beautiful venue. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. Our wedding will be at this venue next year and even though we have to wait, I have to say my experience with them so far has been nothing but great. Amber is very nice, understanding, flexible and super helpful when it comes to planning your day. She helped us with everything and we truly appreciate all that she has done for us so far

This venue is gorgeous and in the most jaw droppingly beautiful location. We had a small wedding, but it felt so grand. Amber, our coordinator was so helpful through the whole process. Everything was perfect!
