Favorite Venues in the Valley

I may be biased, but I truly believe Arizona is home to some of the most beautiful backdrops in the country! From desert landscapes to lush meadows, Arizona really has it all. With such a wide variety of breathtaking scenery comes a wide selection of venue styles. From mountain getaways to elegant ballrooms,  there’s truly something for every style and budget. 

Lucky for you, I’ve had the chance to work at some pretty awesome venues across the state. We’ll discuss 4 of our favorite venues and why you should consider them for your wedding day!

Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch

This hidden treasure tucked away on the banks of the Salt River has some of the best views, hands down! From intimate elopements to full wedding weekends, they have packages to fit every couple’s needs and budget. 

The ranch’s ceremony and reception area is outside with the most dreamy bistro lighting, with a capacity of up to 200 guests. You’ll have the most stunning wedding photos no matter where you go on the ranch, it’s seriously the perfect spot for your day!

The Legacy Golf Resort 

The only time I’ll ever suggest having your wedding at a golf course is if it’s at Legacy! They have a private ceremony space tucked away from the chaos, you won’t even know you’re at a golf club! Their staff is also incredible to work with and work so hard to make your dream wedding become a reality!

The Meadows at Schnepf Farms 

Want to feel like you’re in the middle of the woods, surrounded by the tallest pine trees in a lush meadow but don’t want to drive 3+ hours to get there? Say less! The Meadows at Schnepf Farms is truly one of my favorite venues in the valley, so much so I got married there myself! 

The dreamy forest feel creates the most beautiful backdrop for any wedding style. Plus – the venue staff is incredible to work with and the food is *chefs kiss*
