avalon hotel

A one-of-a-kind escape at Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs. Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Palm Springs, this distinctive boutique hotel offers a serene sanctuary that seamlessly combines the elegance of a luxury retreat with the charm of a trendy getaway. The raw, natural glamour of San Jacinto mountain views makes this venue a perfect wedding destination.

The wedding day at Avalon Hotel in Palm Springs was a breathtaking fusion of Greek and Tulum-inspired elements, creating a luxurious and unforgettable atmosphere. Expertly planned by the Koral & Ko team, the event beautifully blended Mediterranean influences with tropical charm. The design of the day featured a striking black-and-white color palette, enhanced by lush tropical greenery, setting a moody yet refined tone throughout the event.

From the moment guests entered through the sheer drapery into the reception space, they were enveloped in an atmosphere of enchantment, where the soft glow of candlelight danced across elegantly set tables, the string lights filled with greenery above twinkled in the night sky, and the delicate scent of fresh florals lingered in the air. 

Each guest was personally welcomed with a handwritten note with their name on it from the couple, adding an intimate touch to their experience. All tables had a beautiful framed dinner menu that incorporated Greek text throughout it. The couple's custom bar menu featuring their pups added a fun and personal touch to the wedding celebration. The saying "Let's Pawty," was displayed on the bar sign, which highlighted two playful drinks for their guests to enjoy. "The Pitkingese" combined vodka, soda, and a splash of cranberry, while "The Chiwowow" mixed vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice for a refreshing twist.

As the celebration transitioned to the dance floor, the atmosphere came alive with disco balls, a black and white dance floor, and silver tinsel, adding a touch of glamour to the space. To honor their Greek heritage, the couple and their guests joyously participated in the lively “Kalamatianos” dance, a beloved tradition that brought everyone together in celebration. This Palm Springs wedding was a perfect blend of timeless elegance, vibrant florals, and personal touches, making it a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience for all involved.

  • I wish I could have another wedding...

    We worked with Koral for our multi-day wedding and truly could not have asked for a better planner. She was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and really felt like she was my wedding bestie through the year+ long process of crafting the event. Our wedding turned out so beautiful and intentional - multiple guests told us it was the most fun and thoughtful wedding they’ve ever been to, and I give her all the credit for that.

    I wish I could have another wedding just so I could work with her again!

  • You made our day so perfect!

    I would consider myself more high-maintenance than others in terms of what I was looking for as far as my vision, and Koral was there through it all with a smile and made it happen for me. I appreciated how she listened to what I wanted and answered all my questions. In this type of business, you have to be extremely detailed and think 10 steps ahead. Koral & her team not only did that, but did it in a way that was so effortless and with great energy.

  • Koral, thank you from the bottom of our hearts

    Koral’s guidance, calm presence, and spot-on advice were incredibly helpful. The custom timeline she created kept everything running smoothly, and because of her, we were able to fully soak in every moment with our loved ones.

    She brought our vision to life so beautifully—from a dreamy spring garden dinner to an unforgettable night on the dance floor. She didn’t just feel like our planner, she truly felt like family.
