Lavish Dinner Party Wedding at Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert

Hannah and Ed’s love story began in 2014 on the Arizona State University campus, where their friendship quickly turned into a beautiful relationship. Fast forward to 2023, when the lovely couple celebrated their marriage at the Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert, surrounded by family and friends. Holding the wedding alfresco under the desert sun proved the ideal setting for the couple, as during their relationship spent much time in the area visiting Hannah’s father, attending the Coachella festival and enjoying weekend getaways from Orange County. Annette Kirkhuff of Wheat and Honey Events, the bride’s aunt, guided the couple through the wedding planning process and brought their vision of a sophisticated country club garden party to fruition. In honor of Hannah and Ed’s love of food and cooking, and using her impressive expertise, Annette made the couple’s dream of one long table for all 110 guests possible. Through the skill of chef Mark Sickenberger of the Ironwood Country Club, their ideal dinner party menu came to life, featuring seafood gazpacho, salmon Niçoise, steak frites, lemon chicken, and a blood orange and olive oil cake for dessert. As Aperol spritzes and hand-selected wine brought the meal to a close, the newlyweds’ guests began to dance and continued through an evening filled with love and laughter.
