"We loved having our wedding reception at The Rackhouse at Desert Door! It is a beautiful space that can be reconfigured in many ways allowing for flexibility in your event…All the Desert Door staff working at our reception was so kind and even entertained the children at our event! I would highly recommend having any event at The Rackhouse. Great drinks, a beautiful space, and a fantastic atmosphere!”
“Felton is the opposite of forced - the natural beauty is far more impressive than anything humans could create, and we were drawn to that immediately. It felt magical without being manufactured - we had seen several other venues, and they all felt very corporate and forced, even those that were meant to be natural and rustic…”
