The Cottage Wedding Venue 

4.8

Gilbert, AZ
  • Up to 155 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,980

Your wedding should be a representation of your individual personalities as well as your mutual love and vibe as a couple. It showcases you in front of your guests and sets the tone as to what the new chapter of your life starts out as. It all starts with a venue. Location is arguably the most important part of the wedding planning process. It is not only the first thing that will make an impact, but the entire atmosphere will be infused into every aspect of the event. That’s why, couples who love to be outdoors, are moving away from traditional wedding options and choosing backyard weddings with a more comfortable event venue and atmosphere. You don’t need to fly to an exotic place to have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day. While the sandy beaches and mountains are nice, the trees and blooming flowers in a garden are just as good. Another advantage of organizing your wedding outdoors is to let Mother Nature take the lead in decorating.

I can’t thank them enough. Our venue canceled on us last minute and I reached out and they not only were they caring and professional but they moved a bunch around to accommodate me and my wedding 3 weeks before the wedding. It was clean and beautiful and would even rent again for a birthday party or anniversary party. Thank you for making our day so special

The Scott Resort & Spa 

5.0

Scottsdale, AZ
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

A sanctuary set against Scottsdale’s historic downtown, the newly-renovated The Scott Resort & Spa, is a fusion of Old Havana and Bauhaus eclecticism. From oasis-like outdoor settings nestled amidst glistening pools and lush tropical gardens to beautifully redesigned interior spaces, the elegant surroundings of The Scott will create a unique and memorable backdrop for your special day.

Our initial meeting with the venue was honestly not a great experience. Being from TN we made a very short trip (Friday night- Sunday) to visit The Scott and had a showing scheduled for Saturday morning with Fran. She never showed and it took about an hour to get in touch with her. All we got was a half sorry and “I put it on a different day and I won’t be in today”. Luckily we were able to make it the next morning before flying back out. I loved the venue so much I decided to still move forward knowing I wouldn’t have to be working with her throughout the rest of the process. She was terrible at responding, it was clear she only cared about making a sale, and so much in my contract was incorrect. I worked with Barbara and Desirae once the contract was signed and they both were absolutely AMAZING. They responded so quickly and were so so helpful with any questions I had. We really had the most perfect day and a great experience after the initial interactions. I’m giving 5 stars for Barbara and Desirae!!! If you get Fran from sales ask for someone else!

The word “Andaz” translates to “personal style,” and at Andaz Scottsdale, it means precisely that—your wedding here will reflect your vision, your desires, and your dreams. Using this 23-acre site in the heart of the Sonoran Desert as a canvas, your dedicated designer will help create a day that is not only unforgettable, but unmistakably you. Say your vows with Camelback Mountain as a majestic backdrop. Dine under the soft glow of lights in the Studio Ballroom. Venture out for cocktails on the terrace before moving back inside to dance the night away, or keep the party outside and celebrate under the stars.

Andaz offers an “elopement package” for smaller weddings which is what I did. We were able to have the wedding of my dreams with 23 guests. The package included most things which made it super easy to plan without a lot of vendors. The venue is beautiful and the coordinator is easy to work with. I had so many compliments from my guests about how beautiful the wedding was!

Amy McKee not only arranged everything but married us as well. Her attention to detail made the day perfect and took out all the stress for us. The entire team then made us feel special.

Grayhawk Golf Club 

5.0

Scottsdale, AZ
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Grayhawk offers a unique and elegant ambiance that’s perfect for spectacular weddings and receptions in Scottsdale, Arizona. And since planning the biggest day of your life isn’t always easy, it’s essential to have a team of skilled professionals to handle the details. Grayhawk’s commitment to exceptional service and unsurpassed hospitality perfectly complements the breathtaking views and exquisite wedding locations found throughout the property. With all the elements in place for a beautiful Scottsdale wedding at Grayhawk, all you need to do is simply add the bride and groom!

My husband and I got married at Grayhawk in November 2023 and from the moment we toured the venue the first time we knew it was where we wanted our special day to be. We wanted our wedding ceremony and dinner to take place outside with more of a colorful backdrop versus the desert scene and Grayhawk gave us exactly what we were looking for. The Fairway House lawn was beautiful and the room inside was perfect for the party. The doors all along the walls being open and giving the indoor/outdoor feel was exactly what we wanted. Aside from the venue itself being gorgeous, the event planning team at Grayhawk was nothing short of amazing. We worked closely with Lauren from the day we picked the venue and she is absolutely great at what she does. She was easy to work with, communicate with, and very accommodating. We had some special requests like wanting to flip the ceremony space to reuse it for dinner and wanting food items that weren’t on their offered menu. She was quick to satisfy those requests and it was done so well! The food was amazing, the service the night of was top notch, and the whole night was exactly what we hoped for and dreamt of. We expected the wedding planning process to be extremely stressful, but with Lauren and her team in charge, the days leading up to it and the day of was the farthest thing from stressful! If you’re thinking about having your wedding at Grayhawk, we highly recommend it you will not regret it!
