Apache Oaks

The original church camp pews sit under the oaks, with carpet rolled through the grass for the procession and open grassland and blue sky behind you. The pews have been here since this land was a children's church camp, fifty years of people sitting in them. Between the pews and our chairs we seat about 100 for the ceremony.

Eighteen by forty feet of screened pavilion, open to the air on every side but under a roof, with a patio attached and string lights overhead. Seats about 64 at long tables inside, with more outside on the patio. It handles whatever the day needs: the rehearsal dinner, cover if the weather turns, reception outside under the lights, or where the dancing ends up after dark. The oaks are right outside the screens.

Set on a hill above the property, modest wooden benches face out over the land and the wide open Arizona sky. Seats about 40. It is the quietest spot we have. A smaller wedding can hold the whole ceremony up here, and a larger one can come up for the vows with immediate family, then gather everyone down among the oaks.

A full commercial kitchen with a dining hall attached and a dining patio just outside, string lights overhead and the fire pit a few steps away. Your caterer can cook here properly instead of reheating trays, and if your family would rather do the cooking themselves there is room for several people to work at once. For a reception outside under the lights, the patio and the ground around it seat about 100. We have 10 long tables and chairs for 100.

Two stories, six bedrooms, sleeps 16. Five of the rooms configure as kings or split twins, and one queen room so you can sort people however works for your group. There's a galley kitchen, a 200 sq. ft patio on the ground floor, and a 360 sq. ft deck upstairs, which makes a good spot to get ready in the morning with everyone in and out and the coffee going. This is the building that holds most of your people.

Three bedrooms and two baths, sleeps 6, with its own kitchen and living room and a 320 square foot patio and deck. Two of the bedrooms are queens. It sits 570 feet from the pavilion where the dancing happens and 140 feet from the kitchen, so it's far from the noise. The natural spot for the couple, or for parents.

Small and simple. Sleeps three, with a sitting area of its own. It stands fifty feet from Cochise Hideout, so whoever ends up here is still right in the middle of things. Good for the last three people, a set of siblings, or anyone who wants their own door without being away from everyone else.

Standalone bath house. Men's and women's sides, each with two showers, three sinks, two toilets and a changing area. It stands 135 feet from Cochise Hideout. This is the building that makes tents and RVs genuinely comfortable rather than a compromise, and between these facilities and the bathrooms in the Oak House and half bath in Cochise Hideout, a wedding under a hundred guests may not need portable toilets at all.
