Fabulous Wedding!

For our wedding, we went all out. And, in our search, no facility in the Phoenix Valley matched the Arizona Grande. Organization, amenities, perks and facilities were all top notch. Family and friends were able to stay at a special rate, and we even received complimentary bridal and groom prep rooms, which helped immensely. When the weather turned sour on our special day, Arizona Grande was prepared as well, with indoor facilities. Honestly, I think it went every bit as well as it would have outside!
Reception facilities were perfect as well, and they even accommodated my bride's surprise fireworks show for me!
The food for the reception was absolutely phenomenal, from the exceptional salad to the fine wine and spirits, and especially the amazing entrees. Best of all, the cake! So memorable and tasty, we ordered another small version made, post-reception.
Special thanks to AZ Grande senior catering sales manager Susan McVee, who always responded promptly to our requests, and was able to steer things back on track when issues arose, as well as Tracy Mueller and Meghan Chlanda.
Thank you, Arizona Grande, for a wedding we will never forget!

The perfect Arizona Resort for a wedding!

Having our wedding at the Arizona Grand was one of the best decisions we made! The day was absolutely beautiful and perfect thanks to all of the staff there that helped make it happen. Tracy Mueller and Tracy McCoy (event coordinators) were wonderful to work with. Both ladies were helpful, responsive, and able to make my wedding vision a reality, down to every last detail. I was pretty hands on with planning, but thanks to them, I didn't need a Wedding Planner thanks to their attention to detail and help with day of coordination. The catering was delicious (and a BEAUTIFUL cake!). And all the rest of the staff did an amazing job working together to make sure that every little detail was prepared- from the bellmen to the wait staff to the front desk. It was so nice to know that we were in good hands and that all of the intricate details of our wedding day were taken care of. They also helped to make sure that we felt like a king and queen for the day! We had our own "day of shadow" to make sure we had everything we needed, down to bringing an extra dinner to our room fridge because I had too much of a nervous stomach to eat!

Aside from the wonderful service, it was an absolutely beautiful venue for the ceremony and the reception. (Our ceremony was in the Paseo Gardens and the reception was in the South Mountain ballroom). Our pictures are all so beautiful thanks to the many picturesque locations around the property. Additionally, it was the perfect location for all of our out of town guests to stay for the weekend! Adults and kids alike enjoyed staying to celebrate with us all weekend long.

If you are looking for an Arizona Resort to make your wedding day perfect, the Arizona Grand is the way to go! I wish we could relive the weekend, but I know we will make many more weekend trips there in the future to reminisce our special day.

I can’t say enough about the Arizona Grand and the guidance/help Misty McCoy provided! Our day tured out to be all my husband and family expected and more! Misty made sure all my requests were met and the day went off seamlessly! I highly recommend the Arizona Grand facilities for a wedding and reception. It was so assuring to have staff that truly cared about us and our day! Thanks again!!

Wedding 09/15

We had our wedding at the Arizona Grand on September 15, 2018 and it was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better team of vendors to help our dream day come true. All of our guests raves about how great the food was. We even had some people say it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Tracy was nothing short than amazing, she helped keep the day of running smoothly and was incredibly resourceful throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a fabulous venue and a place your guests will be excited to stay, I recommend the Arizona Grand :)

My wedding Reception 11/24/18

I did my wedding reception this past sarirday at the Arizona Grand Resort and I couldn’t have been more blown away. My wedding coordinator Misty MCoy was an absolute delite to work with. She made sure everything was perfect and organized. Not only is the resort beautiful, the service is top notch. Our food and cake was absolutely delicious. We had 340 guests and every single one talked about how much fun they had and how amazing the food and service was. I highly recommend having your wedding at the Arizona Grand because they really do care and want you to have the most amazing experience. Misty was so amazing she even helped sew my wedding dress after I ripped a little of it. I wish I could go back in time and relive my wedding. That’s how gorgeous everything came out!!

An Arizona Grand Wedding

We are here celebrating our daughters wedding 27 years later since my husband and I had our wedding reception also here at this beautiful resort! Our out of state family and friends loved the staff, accommodation, gorgeous venue and dreamlike lazy river and resort feel. Misty McCoy our Wedding Event Coordinator made wedding weekend magical for our daughter and new husband. Maybe in a few years our youngest would be so lucky to enjoy a Grand Wedding! We worked initially with Jodi Michaelis who answered every question to secure our venue and set the wedding weekend events. From Rehearsal dinner at their nearby western restaurant called Rustlers Rooste to my daughters stunning reception venue in the Las Palmas room where Misty paid close attention to all our wishes and requests, to the absolutely stunning outside sunny morning newlywed family brunch at the Paseo Gardens , we showed our guests how much we loved celebrating with them! I wish I could show you pictures of our daughters Arizona Grand Wedding weekend.

My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at the Arizona Grand Resort in June 2017, and we couldn't have asked for anything more--everything was so perfect. From our initial visit to the supportive team of Events/Catering staff, from our tasting to our resort stay, we were continuously floored by how easy everything was. Anytime we had any questions or concerns, the two managers we were working with, Misty and Dora, were there to immediately give us answers and provide help that went above and beyond our expectations.
From the beginning, we knew that having an early summer wedding outdoors in AZ was risky because of the heat, but we proceeded anyways as the day had special significance to us. As we got closer to our wedding day, it became clear that the 105 degree weather that day wasn't going to work with our plans to utilize the "Paseo" space for an outdoor ceremony. With three days to spare, the AGR team worked with us to adjust the ceremony indoors, and things seemed as if the plans had never even changed.
What stands out most about our experience in having our ceremony and reception at AGR is the details. We didn't have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, and neither of us have ever planned a wedding, so there might have been a few details we overlooked here and there, but AGR made sure to look out for those items. They made sure we had a plan for moving items from the ceremony to the reception space. They ensured our wedding party had water and food during set up. The team even provided an amazing champagne turndown service in our suite--the perfect ending touch to a perfect day.
Again, we couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding at the Arizona Grand Resort and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering them.

We really can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was, having our wedding and reception at the Arizona Grand! We are still looking back on our March 2017 wedding and wouldn’t have done a single thing differently. We still have guests telling us what a romantic, beautiful environment it was, and how amazing the food was! (My aunt still insists that it was the best steak she’s had in her life).

From the very start, the staff there worked with us to find the perfect location (of their many options) on site for both the wedding ceremony and the reception. We were looking for a private, intimate feel, and The Paseo (palm-tree lined row, for the ceremony) and Las Palmas (a former restaurant, for the reception) were absolutely magical. The resort itself also had countless beautiful spots where we were able to hop to by golf cart and capture a number of great wedding photos.

We worked with Misty and Dora during the planning, and they made everything so painless, from start to finish. The service and attention we received from the day we toured the site, to the night of our wedding, was truly outstanding and made planning a wedding that much easier on us. Even when we asked for unique requests, like how to handle 3rd party bistro lighting or a very particular vodka brand, their response was always a helpful “yes, we can do that”. They even go so far as to assign an experienced staff person to shadow you the night of the wedding, ensuring any needs or questions or addressed.

If you are looking for a location that offers multiple event site options, wonderful service, delicious food and a great resort for family and friends to stay, we highly recommend you make the Arizona Grand one of your first site visits.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
