ASU Kerr Cultural Center was a great venue. The layout of the venue is so cool and made the wedding very intimate with all the guests. Not only that but the professional lights and sound system made the wedding that much cooler as they were able to create several different moods throughout the night. The staff was great and was very accommodating. Definitely recommend this place.

We had a small wedding and this venue fit us perfectly. We loved the ability to bring in the vendors we wanted and they worked with us from day one to help make our day special.

ASU Kerr is the perfect intimate wedding venue out in Scottsdale. It has the perfect combo of elegance and rustic. The staff is easy to work with and they are very helpful and on top of it all.

Jeanne, Jarrod, Austen and all of the technicians involved provided the highest level of service from the planning stage through the evening of the event. Hosting 200+ people for a wedding comes with enough stress on its own but these wonderful people made things very simple and put us all at ease. The venue was beautiful, the lighting and sound system were second to none and everyone involved was fantastic. Thank you for making my daughter's wedding day absolutely perfect!

The Kerr is the perfect venue to host a personal wedding. Our guest count was around 125 people, and it still felt small and intimate - exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I were very particular about personalizing our wedding, and finding a venue that allowed us to DIY almost everything, and bring in our own vendors was a must. The staff at the Kerr were extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and walked us through all the necessary stuff that ASU requires (permits to bring in our own alcohol, event insurance, etc.). Having them to help made it super easy, and it’s totally worth it to have a wedding at a beautiful, quaint historic venue.

Jarrod and the technical team were awesome to work with for lighting and sound. We didn’t wish to hire a DJ, but the tech staff was there the whole time- from setting up our concert-themed lighting, to timing the music for our the ceremony (They made my husband’s dramatic entrance to Black Sabbath’s Iron Man a reality!) to keeping an eye on our Spotify playlist for the dance floor. We sent them the music we wanted to use, and some classic silent movies via Youtube to play in the background during the reception. They handled all of it! (Unfortunately they couldn’t make our dream of having a fog machine a reality, but if it wasn’t a safety hazard, you bet they would have done what they could to make it happen.)

Jeannie, the Event Coordinator, was a huge help during the process as well, making sure we were prepared with anything the Kerr didn’t provide. The walk-through and rehearsal are super helpful. I didn’t have a planner, so her past experience with weddings and events meant she could jump in to keep things on track. She even got out her phone to record my husband’s entire entrance so that I could see it in full later! She is incredible.

There was even a card signed by the staff in a gift basket waiting for us in the bridal dressing room, filled with little things we might have forgotten- scissors, a small sewing kit, hairspray, etc. It was such a sweet detail that I won’t ever forget.

Some notes:
If you rent the 10 hours on the wedding day, add the 5 hours extra for set up - it’s totally worth it!
There isn’t a full-on dressing room for the guys, so most guys get ready offsite or rent a room at the nice hotels within walking distance.

If you’re looking for a historic venue with amazing staff at a great value, look no further. This place rocks.

The Kerr cultural Center is a hidden gem in the desert. The history and original buildings bring a special warmth to an event that you just cannot achieve at a hotel. The space was perfect for our company event for 80 people and I believe we could have accommodated up to 120. The sunken stage area, outdoor patio and private parking were just some of the special features to this venue. The entire staff along with the technical team are wonderful to work with; they were professional with years of sound, lighting and digital experience. Do not hesitate to consider the Kerr Cultural Center for any special event.

We chose ASU Kerr cultural center for the unique rustic look and history but fell in love with superb customer service & excellent value. I couldn't have had a better experience.

The Kerr Cultural Center team was amazing to work with. There were so many options and they were flexible anytime we wanted to change anything. Our wedding wouldn't have been what we wanted without them!

My wife and I got married here Saturday February 18th. Like most couples, finding the right venue is perhaps the most difficult part of wedding planning. When researching, you will soon discover most venues restrict you on the vendors that they use, upon restriction, upon restriction. This was the one place where the venue allowed us to have a wedding we wanted with who we wanted. From the beginning, Lydia and I wanted to support local businesses and hire our friends and family to be involved with the wedding. We almost gave up, until Lydia found ASU online as this was the 15th or 16th venue we researched. We scheduled a meeting and took a tour.

Our wedding was a music festival theme, how fitting that the venue is a theater. After the tour we had made up our minds, this is where we wanted to do it. Through the whole process, every single staff member that I came across was there to help. With Tracey, Camryn and Jarrod being the leaders and Matthew, Taylor, Jordan, Austin and Collin helping out in every which way possible. The staff here was astounding. In the preliminary meetings we gave them our idea and expressed that this would be nothing they have ever seen for a wedding, removing a vast majority of traditions.

On the day of, all of the staff were incredible. Despite the relentless rain (yup, it rained on our big day) we all pulled off a miracle. The best part about this venue is the lawn out front plus the use of the inside theater. If you're shopping for a potential wedding venue or any event. This is the place. This is Scottsdale's best kept secret. Discover it before it's too late.

The staff at ASU Kerr Cultural Center was awesome! We didn't realize how much involvement they would have on the actual wedding day. They were amazing! We had our Spotify playlist and chose specific songs for the procession/recession, first dance, grand entrance, bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc. We made sure it was really organized but we were still a little worried. They managed it all extremely well! You couldn't even tell we didn't have a DJ. One thing that really impressed us was how organized they were. They put together information from all our vendors, timeline of the event, inventory, lighting, & decor. They did a fantastic job! We relayed most of our questions to Camryn & Jarrod, who were quick to respond and really easy-going. Although they were our go-to people, we know how much work everyone put into our special day. We can't thank them all enough! It was so perfect!
