Debbie was amazing!! She helped every step of the way. She was quick to respond and accommodate. She helped us add a COVID addendum to our contract, then gave a full refund when we had to pull the plug on our big day. She was so understanding which we appreciated.

This venue has everything and is so affordable for what you get. The courtyard is the perfect space and ambiance with the bistro lights. We loved the fact that the buffet could be covered. They provided tables, chairs, a bar, and staff members for the night. We also loved the front area, before the main doors. It is such a large space that overlooks Papago - perfect area to set up cornhole, tall boy tables, and host your cocktail hour. We also loved that the venue included in the total cost was free parking for guests, indoor restrooms, the option to move inside if need be, a conference room to hold our stuff and get ready in, and letting guests wander the exhibits all night. It's in a perfect location, right in the heart of Papago Park and just steps away from the most beutiful, scenic, desert landscape for photos. And there is so much to do in Tempe for your out of town guests! Right across from the Zoo, ASU campus, and golf course. Lots of nearby hotels and Uber everywhere. We will definitely be recommending this event space to all our friends and family for their weddings!

I cannot hush enough about this amazing venue. Don was the most helpful- constantly responding to my crazy texts on the day of, answering all questions, and helping with as much as he could. The venue is gorgeous for an outside wedding, with so many great photo opportunities. Our original venue fell through a month before the wedding, and this place fell into our hands. I would recommend the venue to anyone who needs a lovely place to get married, or just a neat venue for an occasion.

Shalonda at Arizona Historical Society Museum was very responsive and helpful with all of our needs for setting up the venue for our wedding day. She even agreed to have the temperature in one of storage rooms lowered so we could store all the flowers in there overnight as opposed to having to haul them all over in the morning. The venue looked great during our sunset ceremony and everyone was please with the amount of space to move around, and our out of town guests loved having the natural landscape as a backdrop. The option to choose all our own vendors and supply our own alcohol for the bar makes it the best value for a wedding venue in the Papago Park area hands down.

This was a beautiful and elegant venue for a wedding. The ability to bring in your own vendors is a great plus. Shalonda was very professional, attentive and accommodating. The ONLY negative was a snippy front desk clerk when we returned after the event looking for a forgotten item.

Part of our criteria for choosing a venue was that the price we paid would feel more like a philanthropic donation to an established institution than a rental, and we found that at the Arizona Historical Society Museum. We even paid a little more to have the museum open just to us and our guests before the wedding, which was lovely. AZHS's prices are totally worth it during the off-season, and you're not even sacrificing anything because their A/C is INCREDIBLE, and the Sandstone Lobby is naturally beautiful. We loved working with Shalonda as well. She was SO flexible with us and put up with my endless emails. Thank you, AZHS! We now have a beautiful place that we can go and enjoy on our anniversaries! I look forward to more exhibits :D

We had our reception in the Brick Courtyard of the museum. The setting was beautiful! Seth was so easy to work with and so helpful with everything. Everything went great the day of the wedding, and it was all at a price you just could not beat. We really could not have asked for more!!

My husband and I got married at Arizona Historical Society Museum this past October 13th, 2012. It was AMAZING! We had our ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour in the desert terrace, and reception in the courtyard as well. Everything was so beautiful and the weather was perfect. Seth was AMAZING. By far the best vendor I have ever worked with. I highly recommend this venue. The photos posted don't do it justice!

We got married at the museum in October of 2010, and it was one of the most amazing days of our life! Seth and Hannah were extremely responsive to all of our requests, and they went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect.

We were married at sunset in the courtyard and had our cocktail reception at the upper desert pavillion. Our reception and dinner was also in the courtyard. We had mood lighting, used the lanterns and had two buffets set up.
We rented the "boardroom" to get ready the day of the wedding. This was perfect for everyone to get their hair and makeup done.

Getting married at the AZ Historical Society Museum made our wedding so great! Thank you Seth and Hannah for all of your work.

This was such a unique place for our wedding. We were able to take pictures in the museum and they turned out amazing. The outdoor courtyard was beautiful and made for a very romantic ceremony. It was such a great value for all that was included.

The staff here were very helpful and knowledgeable. They had answers for everything, along with recommendations and attention to clients. It was a beautiful evening, and every guest commented on how lovely the venue is. It is a great place for someone who doesn't want to spend thousands but looks great, allows outside vendors (!), and has a staff that will assist in anything and everything. I highly recommend the AZHS!!!
