I recently hosted a welcome party for 150 people at Culinary Dropout in Scottsdale, and I genuinely can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we started planning, everything just felt easy, fun, and taken care of—and that’s entirely thanks to the amazing team there, especially our event coordinator, Brooke. Brooke was truly a lifesaver. She was kind, patient, organized, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process. She helped me bring the vision for the event to life and made sure every detail was perfect. On the day of the party, she and the staff handled everything so smoothly that I actually got to relax and enjoy the night—which never happens when you’re hosting something this big! The vibe at Culinary Dropout was exactly what we were going for—cool, energetic, and welcoming. The space is beautiful and laid-back, with plenty of room for people to move around, talk, and have fun. It struck the perfect balance between casual and special. And the food—wow. I’m still hearing from guests about how good everything was. The fried chicken and biscuits were a huge hit, and the house-smoked ribs disappeared fast. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The drinks were just as good—the bartenders kept everyone happy, and the cocktail menu had something for everyone. Hosting a party for 150 people can be overwhelming, but Culinary Dropout made it feel effortless. I walked away from the night feeling happy, proud, and really grateful that we chose this place. If you’re thinking about throwing an event here—do it. You’ll be in great hands.
