Music & Sound at Le Chacuel
At Le Chacuel, the desert is part of the experience. To honor the natural soundscape and create an atmosphere of serenity, we do not permit amplified club-style sound systems or late-night DJs.
Instead, we invite our couples to design a soundtrack that enhances the magic of the landscape:
Live acoustic sets (guitar, strings, small ensembles)
Curated playlists through our in-house speakers for dining and gathering
Ambient sounds that pair with candlelight and starlight
Music is welcome outdoors until 10:00 PM, after which guests can transition to intimate indoor moments or fireside conversations under the desert sky.
Le Chacuel is about more than just celebration — it’s about curated, elevated experiences that feel timeless in the quiet beauty of Joshua Tree.
Cancellation policy: Standard 60 day with Grace Period
About Le Chacuel
Le Chacuel is a very rare architectural estate. Located within 8 marvelous Mojave Desert acres, the place was built to be an artistic expression as well as a backdrop for memorable weddings. It features quintessential desert views, brutalist design within interiors that have been featured in Architectural Digest, and large expanses for all outdoor-style fun-a fusion of nature and high design. Couples can opt for any scale of celebrations from more intimate dinners for just a few guests to larger celebrations of around 150 people, complete with facilities for outdoor kitchens, lounges, and desert-style ceremonies.
Every corner of this property was created for that perfect photo... from the mirrored pavilion and bull-nose walls nearly touching the ground to the dramatic desert backdrop. Preparation suites offer privacy; climate-controlled open air spaces provide dining and dancing possibilities; and well-established planners, chefs, and creatives are under contract to collaborate at this venue. Whether your dream calls for a fleeting elopement or a multi-day destination event, Le Chacuel acts as a blank canvas for timeless celebrations that will forever be engraved in the memory of your guests.
