“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!”
