Travel Note

VRBO or Airbnb

For those who are traveling together in large groups, we highly recommend renting a vacation home. When searching, we recommend the "Uptown", "North Central", "Arcadia", or "Scottsdale" areas. These are the most desirable locations for delicious restaurants; daytime/nighttime activities; and are considered safe neighborhoods in the Central Phoenix area. These locations are also close to the wedding venue.
