Beautiful location, especially if you're having some out of town people that haven't been to the desert before! The staff always picked up the phone to answer any & all of my questions we had & same with emails. I felt at ease being an out of state bride. They provided a variety of packages to choose from, which I believe all have a day of coordinator (sooo helpful!!). We had 180 people & the reception hall was pretty full, but we had a 20x20 LED dance floor in the middle, which did take up space. Plenty of food options & tastings you could do!
