Our Venue

The Wedding Website of McKenzie Samms and Jennifer Manduca
We will be hosting our ceremony and reception at The Willow in Surprise, Arizona. We chose The Willow for its serene atmosphere and gorgeous desert backdrop. We love that the space reflects where we met and where we’re continuing to build our life together. We can’t wait to share it with those closest to us.

Getting to the Venue

The Willow is slightly removed from the Phoenix metro area, requiring a 30-45 minute drive from most lodging options. Entrance to the property includes a short, well-maintained dirt road that is traversable in any standard car. On-site parking (directly outside the venue) is available for all guests. Ride-share services can also reach the venue, though wait times may be slightly longer than the standard.

About The Space

The Willow is a private and intimate venue that seamlessly blends indoor & outdoor spaces. The ceremony will take place outdoors on the venue lawn, followed by cocktail hour on a partially shaded patio. The reception will be held inside a temperature-controlled building with main doors open to the outdoor spaces if weather allows.

Weather, Comfort, & What to Expect

Temperatures can fluctuate quite a bit in Arizona during February – Plan for a warm afternoon and a cooler desert evening. Shaded areas and an indoor reception area will be available to guests, but we recommend bringing sunscreen, a light wrap, or anything else you may need to stay comfortable outdoors.
