“We absolutely LOVED this venue. First off this place is seriously so gorgeous and has the most amazing views! Second, our dinner was buffet style and everyone raved about how good it was. We have family members who also work in the wedding industry and they even said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everything was warm, fresh, and cooked to perfection! The staff there had everything running very smooth. The bar service was fast and the drinks were delicious. The Wedding Team assigned to us the moment we booked Black Canyon Inn, were extremely helpful with every step of the wedding planning process. Any question we had they got back to us immediately. Then that day, Anna, was on top of things, ensuring me and my husband had everything we needed the entire night! We truly didn’t have to worry about a single thing because of her. Our guests keep raving about their experience at our wedding, and I have to credit a significant part of that to Black Canyon Inn. Honestly, if it were possible to give this venue more than a 5-star rating, I absolutely would!”

“Flagstaff House was incredible! They were such a great venue. Annie was our event planner, and she was perfect - professional, friendly, and so helpful helping everything run smoothly day of. The venue itself was beautiful and did a great job helping us plan for any weather scenario. The food was INCREDIBLE - each of the dishes were delicious and the cake was just as beautiful as it was delicious. It ended up being a surprisingly budget friendly option as well - although the price for food is higher than most places, the fact that the restaurant provided everything needed for the lunch including custom menus, the cake, and all of the linens/chairs/tables/table numbers/etc. meant that the total price ended up being a great value.”
