About
Virginia’s House is an elegant home built in 1913 and is used today to host many types of functions. Our main business is weddings and receptions, however, we also love to accommodate all other kinds of events. Our parties have included small graduation ceremonies, bridal luncheons, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, baby showers, tea parties for all ages (the little girls get "special" treatment) and birthday parties. We will also host family gatherings after funeral or memorial services.

We are located in historic Glendale on the southwest corner of 59th Drive and Glendale - that's one block west of 59th Avenue. Built in 1913, the historic C.H. Tinker Home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The home was featured on HGTV’s Restore America as the Showcase house, giving a brief history and several "before/after" images of the home. What a truly remarkable experience!! Most recently, the house has also been featured on Glendale's KGLN Channel 11 Historic Hidden Treasures.  More information on it’s history can be found on our website (www.virginiashouse.com) under "About Virginia’s House".

We can accommodate up to 125 guests in our garden, but are not too large to host smaller occasions, as well. Our facility recently underwent a major renovation. We now have a new building that houses our handicapped-accessible restrooms, caterer's kitchen and buffet serving room. We also have 1,900 square feet of covered patio. Our gardens are complete with mature trees, flowering plants and a beautiful winding brick pathway to our gazebo.

Our price includes tables, chairs, linens (white or ivory), centerpieces, decorations (in your colors), set-up, clean-up and coordination the week of and day of your event. You would be responsible for bringing your own caterer (to include self-catering), cake, photographer, minister, DJ, etc. We do have referrals for these vendors, but do not require you to use them or penalize you for not using them. They are just the folks we trust when hosting our own events. Their links can be found under "preferred vendors" on our website (www.virginiashouse.com) or at www.westvalleyweddingassociation.com.

We require a $500 deposit when you sign your contract. One-third of the total amount is due 30 days after your contract date. The remaining two-thirds is due 30 days prior to your event. Monthly payment plans also available. We accept online credit and debit card payments. We also have a $300 damage deposit payable with your final payment and is refundable after your event. Also, keep in mind our prices listed below are our contract prices - no service fees, taxes or gratuities will be added.

We allow beer, wine and champagne to be served at Virginia's House. We require you to hire our bartender and security guard for $150 each for the duration of your event if you plan to serve alcohol. You may also hire a bartending service that holds the appropriate liability insurance. When using our bartender and security guard, you would be responsible for providing your own alcohol and service items.

We love and cherish this home and want to share your special day. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Endorsements
It has been my genuine pleasure to officiate at many events at Virginia's House -- weddings, memorial services, and other occasions and observances. Natalie Stahl, the owner of this historic venue, knows everything there is to know about beautiful weddings on a budget, and she is a wizard at finding ways to maximize the impact of every penny spent. When you talk to Natalie, be candid with her about what you need to accomplish, and she will do everything in her power to ensure that your wedding day is everything you want it to be. I have worked for many, many venues and not one of them has ever come close to matching what Natalie does every single time for her couples. In these tough financial times, you don't have to sacrifice a lifetime of memories by getting married "on the cheap" in front of a bored clerk or in a cheesy storefront "wedding chapel." For a modest amount, you can have a real wedding in a restored historic Victorian home in the care of one of the nicest people I know -- Natalie Stahl.
Fresh from the Kitchen LLC was highly pleased to work with the owner Natalie and her staff in making for a beautiful wedding! Everyone was so nice and very helpful. The wedding was PERFECT!!! Much thanks to Natalie and her team of staff. This is the place to book. They really care and it shows. Make the choice that will make you happy for a lifetime!
Natalie and her staff at Virginia's House are top notch! If you want to get married at a place that is really going to treat you like family, then Virginia's House is the place to go. Beautiful grounds, great people, and an easy going atmosphere. What more do you want out of your wedding venue?
We catered a wedding at Virginia's House in the Historic area of Glendale. Beautiful! The house itself has a wonderful story and is tastefully decorated with many antiques. The ladies who ran the venue went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly for the bride, groom, and guests. These ladies really care and it shows.
Neat venue, neat gals that run the place! I have worked at almost every venue in the metro Phoenix area with my bartending company Hey, Bartender! LLC and I have to say that the gals at Virginia's House were some of the nicest people I have come across in my 6+yrs in the wedding business. Not only that, but the venue itself is very unique and so darn cute. Highly recommended from an insiders perspective!
I have had the pleasure of shooting a number of events at Virginia's house and every inch of the property lends itself to great photo opportunities. It is a hidden treasure in the West Valley: idyllic venue, quaint, attentive staff, lush gardens and unbelievably beautiful. Natalie does a wonderful job caring for her couples and it shows in the pictures- happy couples, happy guests, great events. There really is something special about a venue that embodies making the bride the center of the universe for their special day, and you can absolutely find that here.
