Reviews of Arizona Science Center

We had a rocky start with the venue because they had some staffing changes. Once they got a someone in their coordinator position it was great. They helped us plan the details and used their prior knowledge of weddings to plan an awesome night. The venue was perfect, we had the ceremony in the Planetarium which was unique and our guests loved how it turned out.

Kevin at the ASC was the best wedding coordinator I have worked with. His many years of experience made planning our event simple and fantastic. Everyone loved the venue. The adults and kids loved the interactive exhibits in addition to the traditional reception (party with DJ). Additionally, having the ceremony in the planetarium was perfect. The stars and special events really made the ceremony special. The rental fee was very affordable in comparison with other venues we considered. I highly recommend this venue as a great alternative to more traditional hotel ballrooms.

Emily and Adri and the AZ Science center went above and beyond to make our wedding flawless. From digital design to exactly
Match our wedding invites to the painstainken time they spent on different layouts of our reception dinner. They are very professional and I would have another wedding or any event held at the Science Center just to be able to work with them again. I very sleek and modern classy take on a wedding if that's what your going for!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
