The Santuary is truly a magical place to get married. Lauren and her staff went above and beyond to ensure that our day was beautiful and memorable.

The moment I saw the Sanctuary for the first time I knew it was perfect! Besides all of the obvious stuff (beautiful location, perfect ceremony site, amazing venue) Sanctuary really was a dream. From start to finish I really can not say enough wonderful things about this venue. Lauren Wickham, our Catering Manager was beyond amazing. She helped calm my nerves and she is a pro at what she does. Everything was beyond perfect. Near the end I think I either called or emailed Lauren twice a day and she always replied with a smile. Not only is she extremely professional but she is on top of her game. Every step of the way I was impressed. We had quite the extensive decor set up and her and her team handled everything. My bridesmaids and I got ready in their 'Vista' boardroom and this room is the perfect set up for getting ready. I was really blown away at how well everything worked out logistically. They really do have it set up perfectly for weddings. The service we received from everyone at the hotel was beyond perfection. On the day our our wedding I really did feel like a princess and I cannot thank Lauren and her team enough. If you want the most beautiful, elegant wedding with perfect service and seriously delicious food you've found it here. My guests are still talking about the food, the venue and the service. I work in the hotel industry myself, so as you can imagine I had certain expectations. I was blown away by the stellar organization and overall experience. After our reception we were treated to one of their 'Spa Casita' Rooms. Yup, this suite was gorgeous and I was really disappointed we had to fly out so early the next day! All in all it was the perfect day that my husband and I will never forget. Truly a dream come true! PS. The best part is you can go back for years to come! I can't wait to spend our anniversary there. The rooms, food and drink selection are AMAZING!

Everything was perfect here. From the moment we toured the grounds until our wedding night they took care of us and made sure everything we needed happened. The food was amazing!!! I don't think I have ever had such delicious food at a wedding.
Their coordinator Lauren was awesome. She always replied to me promptly and made our wedding day run seamless.

Working with this venue was an absolute pleasure and far exceeded our expectations. They go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience that you and your guests will talk about for quite some time after the wedding. We would recommend this venue without reservation and hold it in the highest regard.

The Sanctuary is AMAZING. The views were great, the food was delicious, the wedding coordinators make the day go flawlessly, and the resort staff (from the concierge to the reception staff) was so friendly and professional. Worth every penny!

I had my ceremony and reception at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Victoria Michael was our wedding coordinator. Victoria was amazing and became a real friend through the entire process. She was so helpful through all of the planning aspects, providing their preferred vendors, working within our budget and helping me create the day I always dreamed of.

The day of the wedding was perfect. The Sanctuary provided an amazing atmosphere and beautiful views of the area. All of my guests were from the east coast and were just blown away at how beautiful it was at Sanctuary. The food was amazing, not your typical wedding banquet style food at all.

I gave victoria several things to set up, including picture frames from our grandparents and parents wedding, and several other items. When I walked into the room, it was just perfect. She had everything set up exactly the way I had pictured. Victoria has a way of making you feel like you don't need to worry and stress and that she will take care of everything.

This was my absolute perfect day and I can honestly say that I have no complaints.

The Sanctuary on Camelback has a beautiful ceremony location!! The price is high just for a ceremony though.

I cannot say enough things about Victoria and her staff at Sanctuary. During the entire planning process they were patient, and helpful, and a delight to work with. The venue speaks for itself in terms of views, decor, simplicity, and elegance. There was not even a close second for possible venues for us- we even changed our date to make sure we got the Sanctuary!

Victoria the wedding coordinator is wonderful, she does it all. I was really pleased to find out I didnt have to hire a day of wedding planner. Most of my friends who were married at other resorts had to. Also, at the Sanctuary, you are the only bride there, so all the attention is on you.

FANTASTIC!! The setting was beautiful, the views were stunning, the service was superb, the food was outstanding, the drinks were well-made :) and Victoria was absolutely amazing! I cannot say one bad thing about getting married at the Sanctuary. I do not think you can find a better value for an upscale wedding from any of the other Scottsdale resorts. Our guests still say how beautiful it was and how great the food was. You will NOT be disappointed! And your day will be completely worry-free with Victoria planning everything. The best!!

The venue exceeded our expectations. The views were gorgeous and the service was wonderful. Things ran very smoothly, and if they did not, then Victoria must have handled anything that arose as we got to enjoy the wedding :). I thought that in comparison to the others resorts in the area, Sanctuary was the most flexible and affordable.

Great place! Beautiful in pictures! Fantastic wedding coordinator, Victoria Michael. She was great. The only problem was when we booked the venue they told us they the rooms would very likely be around 250. Then when we had to book the rooms they didn't work with us at all and they had raised there rates by like more than $100. We had to practically beg borrow and steal to get the rates under 300. Literally like call and talk to multiple people over a couple months. Then our guest would book there rooms and say they were with the wedding party and they would continue to charge them full price.
