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.

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.

This venue was perfect! It is a very unique venue with an awesome location in Scottsdale. Not many people knew about this place, but thats why I liked it. It had an old charm and the staff was great in answering all of my questions. You can use your own vendors which really kept the price down as much as it could. The location is also affordable and includes table, set up, and a worker or two to assist. I am so glad I chose ASU Kerr to celebrate our special day.
