There are no words to describe how grateful we are that Clayton House was our venue for our wedding. From our coordinator Rileigh, to the banquet staff and bartenders, this team KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. Rileigh was always so responsive to all of my emails and truly helped what I had in my head come to life. This venue is a perfect canvas for any bride and groom to make their dream day.

Working with Stonebridge was a breeze! From the moment we stepped foot on the property we knew it was the place for us, the rest of the team just sealed the deal. Andrea in sales walked us through the venue, answered all our questions thoroughly and gave us a realistic quote as well as all the details we needed to plan successfully throughout the process. They just rolled out an online planning portal that helped so much with the communication between us and the venue. Answers were automatically shared with the planning team so when it came time for our meetings, they were quick and to the point. The planning team is always available to help and answer questions. Our day of Coordinator Emma was fantastic checking in on us throughout the day and made sure everything ran smoothly and was exactly how we wanted it. Our Banquet Captain Chayse was wonderful to work with and made sure we had everything we needed to keep the party going! The Stonebridge team made our vision come to life and the Wedgewood model made planning easy and fairly affordable for what we got, especially in the current market. We loved them!!

If anyone is looking at having their wedding at a Wedgewood property, my husband and I would highly recommend it. 100/10 would recommend the Secret Garden location as the team we worked with was fabulous from start to finish. Beginning with just our tour of the venue, we had Huntyr who was so sweet and so helpful. She showed us the flow of things and helped us to envision ourselves getting married there. We knew the day we did the tour, that was our venue. From there, they helped us with planning the entire thing... We received a booklet that guided us through all our steps, when to meet with vendors, etc. Their recommended vendors // the vendors that were included in the Elite package were so excellent to work with!! (Janice at Blooming Bouquets and the team over at Piece of Cake -- wonderful!!). A few months out from the wedding, we were scheduled to have a big dinner / tasting with other couples getting married at the venue so it was fun chatting with the people around us all planning their weddings for around the same time ours would be happening. We got to see the setting / atmosphere of what the Hors-d'œuvres, cocktail hour, and dinner foods would be like.... It made it very easy for us to select all foods for the day of, as well as meet other vendors (hair/makeup, DJ, videographers, photographers, etc.). Wedgewood made planning the wedding a simplified task. We had our rehearsal the day before the wedding where our wedding coordinator had everything down (blessed to have Huntyr for our day! was a wish come true). She had everything down - showed everyone what they should be doing and where. I had a checklist prepared of points I wanted to cover and didn't even have to pull it out because our coordinator had hit every bullet I had noted without me even telling her a single bullet I had down. The day of the wedding was perfect ... the team over at Wedgewood had our suites organized and had champagne prepared for the ladies and beers for the boys in their suite too. Our coordinator alongside her support team ensured everything was set up for us and that we could just relax and enjoy the day / getting ready / and celebrating in general with our favorite people...... I woke up the morning of and told myself that if anything were to go wrong, that it was out of my control and to let it go..... but I literally cannot even explain how PERFECT our day was. Everything stayed on schedule, decor was set up beautifully, and the Wedgewood staff were there to assist with ANY needs along the way. The food was delicious, the staff for the event was so friendly and eager to help / ensure our day was magical. Overall, from start to finish, the team there made things easy, fun, and ensured our day was the BEST DAY EVER. Again - for anyone getting married, I would encourage you to look at Wedgewood properties, although their property, Secret Garden, forever holds that special place in my heart and would be my overall pick!

This venue was perfect! We booked about a year out from our March wedding and within days/weeks of booking, each vendor of this all-inclusive venue had reached out to us to schedule a consultation. While the vendors were all great, if ever we had an issue with one of them, Tony & Linda (the owners), were quick to respond and get us right on track again. Likewise, we were so happy with how everything turned out for our wedding day. The coordinators were on top of everything and if there was anything we needed, they were quick to jump up and do it. Even if the coordinator was off doing something else, the photographers were quick to get the coordinator to help or do it themselves, because they worked so effortlessly as a team. The venue itself was gorgeous! My husband and I didn’t want the traditional desert landscape that most Arizona venues have to offer, so the venue was perfect. It transported us to a little oasis outside of the desert city and into a lush garden. And it spaciously fit our 80-guest count without feeling crowded or too big. However, when the party was over, we were close enough to the downtown hot spots that we could continue the fun and head back to our hotel easily.

We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Grayhawk Golf Club.

Every question was answered, every concern was handled seamlessly, and on the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly.

The Venue at Chilleens was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the communication with Alisha and the team was excellent, on point, and they responded quickly to all of our questions. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a big, stunning view of the mountains and an amazing sunset that wowed all of our guests. Everything is conveniently located close together, which made the day run so smoothly. Alisha, the coordinator, made sure we stayed on schedule and that all of our needs were met by the wonderful staff. I loved having my wedding here, and if I could do it all over again, I would choose The Venue at Chilleens in a heartbeat.
