Things To Do
Target
Mosy down the aisles of Target to pass the time between the ceremony and cocktail hour. Do you need anything... maybe not, but you never know what amazing things you might find! For a night in while you're in town.. You could always do what one of our Marriage Prep presenters said.... get a bottle of wine and a Lego set and then you will figure out communication. It was honestly one of the most fun stay in date nights ever!
Starbucks
Close to the church and great way to fuel up between the ceremony and reception. A quad shot on ice is Elise's go to with cinnamon dolce and coconut milk
Desert Monks Brewing Co.
Great beer, root beer and other non alcoholic drinks. A go-to hangout spot for a chill time with some beer, friends, and board games (and the occasional awesome bingo nights!)
Bowlero Gilbert
We love coming here for the spontaneous date night full with arcade games and bowling
OHSO Brewery + Distillery
We went here for numerous celebrations, random dinner nights out, and also is our go to spot for a great weekend brunch!
AJ's Fine Foods
Our Sunday tradition. Their pastries and coffee are amazing and our go to after mass. The sushi counter is also amazing!
SanTan Gardens - Brewery & Distillery Tours
One of our first few dates, we went for their brewery tour and it was awesome! Make sure to get a ride there or not try the samples as much, but the ending sample was incredible (one of Michael's favorite liquors mixed with a breakfast twist). And at $15 a ticket its a great time!
Arizona Axe Games
Axes, stars, and knives, oh my!! Super fun place to just kick some Axe!
Augusta Ranch Golf Club
We love going here for taking some shots.. golf shots that is! Grab a bucket of balls and use their Top Tracer at the range. It is awesome and so fun!
Joe's Real BBQ
A must stop when visiting the East Valley! Joe's has been in Gilbert even when the town was just starting out. Their Jumbo Bakers, amazing applesauce, and delicious pulled pork are all to die for. They also have a vintage photo booth which we still have the photos today.
Dutch Bros Coffee
Great spot to grab a quick refresh, Michael loves the Rebel energy drinks (when he doesn't have a Monster in hand
