Book before its Booked!

This venue is absolutely beautiful and that has nothing on the members of the team here. They were absolutely amazing.

Russell is personable and so easy to work with.

Chastity and Katia saved our wedding meal with their fast acting solutions and ordering.

This team and venue are amazing, I would highly suggest getting married here. We have had an insane amount of compliments about the views itself but also the cleanliness and space.

it was perfect! Book before your day is booked :)

Absolutely Perfect

We recently had our wedding at Desert View, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The venue's stunning natural backdrop provided the perfect setting for our special day. From the breathtaking views of the desert landscape to the impeccable service provided by the staff, every detail was meticulously taken care of. Each staff member we came in contact with was so friendly, responsive, and understanding. The venue was clean and in pristine condition. Our guests were in awe of the beauty surrounding us, and we couldn't have asked for a more magical experience. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than Desert View.

Blessed!!!

Do not hesitate to book Desert View as your wedding venue!!! My daughter and fiancé decided that this was THE place when it was still a dirt lot. I was more skeptical. However, through the ups and downs of construction and numerous visits to the property, I found one consistent thread- the caring and committed staff. Russell and his amazing team did everything in their power to ensure that our wedding was all that my daughter hoped it would be - AND it was!!! Additionally, I found Russell to be an honest and fair businessman that listens to his clients and anticipates solutions to possible concerns. There is a HEART in this business that was refreshing to work with!

Beautiful venue with amazing views!!

We found DVW&E in early 2022 when the venue was nothing more than a dirt lot and a dream. We fell head over heels for the digital mockups they had posted on their website, and we just knew it was going to be our spot. We had an interesting time with the booking process, as we originally were planning for April 2023, then had to move to Sept 2023 because of construction issues, and then again backed up a few weeks into October to be safe for further construction issues. You would think this would be a problem, and sure it was stressful! But Russell communicated all of the potential issues upfront and always made time to talk with me through all of the back up options and worst case scenario plans. Our "worst case" did happen - the venue was not finished by our wedding date. Again - you'd think this would be a problem, but Russell did everything in his power to still make it the best night of our lives. Truthfully we wanted to do most of the evening outside anyways, because of the stunning views we fell in love with. So we all put our heads together a week before the wedding to pull it off without the use of the event center, and it was still perfect!! I can only imagine that the venue will get even better with time, so I highly recommend booking with them! The staff are all so kind and work hard to make your wedding perfect - our day of coordinator at the venue even had to step in and run our rehearsal when my wedding planner's flight got canceled, and she was amazing throughout the weekend. We will forever be glad we chose and stuck with Desert View, as the evening was so beautiful and I knew we had the entire team behind us making everything come together despite the last minute challenges!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
