My husband and I got married on February 14th 2025 at the Willow Creek Inn. Originally we were going to elope at the Prescott courthouse, but the judge didn't have any availability. Nancy and her team were amazing from start to finish, helping us make our micro wedding/elopement perfect. Our package even included cake and a toast! I highly recommend booking this venue. While we had less than 10 guests, there is so much room and opportunity for larger weddings and Willow Creek Inn is perfect for smaller ceremonies. All of the staff members are wonderful. You cannot go wrong so message Nancy today!

The team at Verde Canyon Railroad was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was friendly, efficient, and easy, which made planning our special day a breeze. The value they provided was great, with a unique and memorable experience (and amazing photo opportunities). They worked with us to create a customized menu, an adorable welcome sign, and their staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout the event. A special shout out to Ellen who arranged for us to do a “first look” on the train beforehand. Our guests have raved about what a one-of-a-kind wedding we had, and we credit a lot of that to the wonderful team at Verde Canyon Railroad, especially Ellen who was great to work with. We were not a small group —120 people— and they handled us with ease.

Tres Brisas Events is one of my preferred vendor sites and I am always so excited to work with them when I receive dessert orders. The communication with their team is easy and their site is just so gorgeous. It is so green and lovely, even during the heat of mid summer. They have so much to offer on their site as far as the gorgeous views, activities and accommodations it’s really an all inclusive wedding destination to really let your guests enjoy themselves. LOVE working with them and can not wait for another cake order with Tres Brisas!

We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out at The Arboretum! Alexis Holle was wonderful to work with as far as planning the wedding as well as using her company Holleday Productions for decorations. We really liked that they had a preferred venders list. It made hiring DJ, food and bartending services a breeze. To be honest we did not see the venue before we decided on it since we live out of state. It did not disappoint! The grounds were absolutely beautiful!! We really couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out and we very highly recommend The Arboretum! Our guests had a blast and kept telling us how beautiful the venue was.
