Awarded Best of Zola
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.
