Top 10 Wedding Venues in Phoenix Area
1. The Paseo (above) - Apache Junction
Located on the East Side of the Valley The Paseo backs up to the Superstition Mountains, giving you the best view of the iconic mountains with an intimate seating area and curated lawn. The Paseo isn’t just a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony - the entire venue is decadent with the glass facade of the reception hall you have gorgeous views all night long. The indoor reception area opens almost 3/4 of the way so you can still have an outdoor feel to the space allowing natural elements into the dining area. The lighting inside the venue feels like a fairtytale! The outdoor dance floor allows for dancing under the stars and the fireplace keeps you warm all night long for those cooler wedding nights. But the best part by far is the secret trail that lets you get a few romantic sunset shots with the glowing mountains behind you as you snuggle up with your newly offiical partner!
2. Ice House (above) - Downtown Phoenix
The House it the perfect urban wedding venue; part art gallery, part historic gem. I love the minimalist design and the open sky ceremony site. A literal ice house, this building used to store the ice blacks delivered to Phoenix by train. I’ve had personal friends get married here and it’s been so fun as a guest to see all the artwork hanging in the gallery and have cocktail hour on the lounge sofas. I love the main reception hall with the chandelier lighting and industrial metals. The textures of this space really allow for such diverse images and I love the juxtaposition of the harsh surfaces with soft wedding gowns and tuxes. It’s truly an iconic phoenix treasure and location.
3. Mountain Shadows (above) - Paradise Valley
Mountain Shadows is personally my favorite resort in Phoenix, technically located in Paradise Valley it’s nestled up against the beautiful Camelback Mountain Range and has an open lawn perfect for ceremony and cocktail hour.
4. Superstition Manor - Apache Junction
Beautiful estate like venue with two ceremony sites on one premises. I love the view of the Superstition Mountains from this ceremony site. And of course all the nooks on site that allow for dynamic posing and different views and perspectives.

5. Venue at the Grove (above) - Phoenix
This site offers orchard like views and open grass fields for ceremony site and outdoor reception. This view is in the winter but fall and spring weddings offer fully lush trees.
6. Troon North Golf Club (above) - Scottsdale
The Elegant Country Club located in North Scottsdale with desert views and luxurious ballroom hosts the most beautiful weddings and has beautiful views of an arizona sunset is one of the most decadent venues in Arizona IMO. If you’re looking for both lush landscape AND cacti in your wedding day experience, I highly suggest Troon North if budget permits.
7. Wright House (above) - Mesa
This venue has split property with the Garden side and Provincial side, the images above are from the provincial side, it feels like you’re at an Italian villa or French courtyard. There is ceremony site under gazebo and outdoor pool/fountain side dining experience along with indoor dance floor.
8. Bella Rose Estate (above) - Chandler
Chris and jessica had a lovely wedding here. A beautiful location in Chandler with full suites for getting ready, outdoor ceremony site and indoor reception hall. It’s one of the less desert more green venues I’ve recently worked at and loved all the perfect positions of sunset portraits.
9. Desert Mountain Country Club (above) - Scottsdale
Nestled into North Scottsdale, this venue overlooks the mountain and desert below. The ceremony site is held in the upper portion of the property while the reception can be held in a smaller indoor location or in the main golf course dining area. It’s an under ultililzed iconic location for weddings. Would love to see more ceremonies and receptions here.
10. The Royal Palms (above) - Phoenix
A personal favorite, we stayed here on our wedding night! There are so many secret garden treasures here with epic views of Camelback Mountain and all the foliage is tropical and a honestly a true historic treasure to the Phoenix/Paradise Valley border. I love this location so much I plan a staycation here every other year.
