About this venue

The Concept is an intimate private venue in Phoenix created for celebrations that deserve something more personal than a traditional event space. Designed for gatherings of up to 25 guests, our indoor-outdoor setting combines the warmth and privacy of a beautiful home with the elevated hospitality of a boutique venue. Couples can move seamlessly from an intimate ceremony to cocktails by the pool, dinner under the covered patio, and an evening gathered around the fire. The flexible setting includes indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas, a pool, outdoor fire features, bar space, and beautiful desert and mountain views. What truly makes The Concept different is the hospitality. The venue is operated by DRISCOLL Cuisine & Cocktail Concepts, bringing chef-driven food, thoughtfully crafted cocktails and personalized service together in one experience. We specialize in celebrations that feel relaxed, sophisticated and distinctly yours—not weddings built from a template.

    I absolutely love working with Brian and his team. I have had the pleasure of working with Brian in 3 different events over the years, from my best friend’s bachelorette where Brian catered her entire weekend worth of amazing food; then my Father’s 75th birthday party with an elegant plated dinner for my family; and finally again, he came through for my best friend’s baby shower (full circle)! Brian has matched me with an amazing chef each time, curating an awesome experience. He goes above and beyond, running to grocery stores during events to make sure me (the host) is not stressed. He gave an awesome whiskey tasting once, and then a mimosa bar. He matched my theme, my colors, and always checks in to make sure you have everything. And before you know it, the entire kitchen is cleaned and they’re out the door. Full service beyond measure and worth every penny. My family and I think of Brian and Monique as friends now, and I highly recommend you use them for your next event!! You will not be disappointed!

    Lauren, thank you so much for this incredibly kind review. We appreciate you! It has been such a pleasure being part of several of your family’s celebrations over the years. Being invited back for meaningful moments like these is one of the greatest compliments we can receive. Brian takes a lot of pride in designing experiences that allow hosts to relax and enjoy their guests. So your words about the care he brings to each event mean the world to us. We’re grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us and are so glad we could help make these occasions special for you and your family. We look forward to the next celebration together. Warmly, Monique & Brian

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience for our 40th wedding anniversary. Chef Mackenzie made us two amazing several course meals that were the best we have ever had, and that's saying a lot when you have traveled the world! Monique and Brian went out of their way to make our stay memorable.
