This location was so well designed and laid out. The host Donna was incredibly helpful and availale. It was a cloudy day, and not much light inside the property for shooting, but we got some beautiful shots in the gardens. This place is great or bridal parties, showers, small get togethers, etc. I would definitely recommend this venue and will likely use it again for a party or another shoot! Thank you!

Nick was absolutely amazing. He was so helpful and flexible. Response times we’re so quick. We used the space for a group meeting for 28 people. Nick had chairs set up for classroom style, tables in the front and a podium. Lots of parking and restrooms. And the pricing couldn’t be beat. Highly recommend this space.

Things to Consider for Your Wedding Reception in Phoenix

Selecting the perfect wedding venue can be challenging, as you must navigate all of the pros and cons. It's important to consider all sides when looking at Arizona wedding venues.

Advantages:

  • With the proximity of downtown Phoenix to Sky Harbor International Airport, many venues are just a short drive away. Your guests will be able to arrive at your special event with ease, with venue options conveniently located.

  • Phoenix's incredible desert climate allows for a wide range of choices for outdoor venues, letting you enjoy places like Paradise Valley or a lush green property for your dream celebration.

  • The plethora of unique locations in Phoenix makes it an intriguing choice for your event space. A space near Camelback Mountain or a garden with open-air pavilions both make for the perfect wedding venue.

Disadvantages:

  • As beautiful as Phoenix, Arizona's warm weather is, it can be stifling at times. Be sure to check if the indoor event space has air conditioning, which many of them do. If you're dreaming of an outdoor space, it can still be the perfect setting. Consider avoiding the summer months when booking.

  • Do note that if your event venue is the Arizona desert, it's home to many dangerous species of wildlife, such as the bark scorpion, the most venomous in North America. Comfortably host your event nonetheless with a screened-in tent that allows you to be in nature but keeps the bugs outside.

  • Due to mild winters, the city is much more populated during the winter months. Be sure to plan ahead as there will be more traffic, and reservations may be more challenging to obtain.
