House Or Rental

Airbnb

If you prefer a home or apartment for the weekend over a hotel, Airbnb is a great option! If you want to be within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and the venue, we recommend you book downtown (between 7th street and 7th avenue, south of Roosevelt and North of Lincoln) Our reception will be at the Croft in the Warehouse district. Many visitors to the Valley choose to stay in Scottsdale, as it is a well known tourist destination. Feel free to stay there if you like, but please know you will be looking at a 20-30 minute commute to both the church and the reception venue. Arcadia and Midtown are other good options, with a 15-20 minute commute.

Flight

Phoenix Sky Harbor

Located near downtown (where we recommend you stay) Phoenix Sky Harbor is the best option when choosing which airport to fly into.
