What a night!!

Desert Willow was the perfect place for our wedding!! The location was beautiful especially for our spring May wedding. Not only was it a great venue but the service and staff was great. Very attentive and set up everything how i asked. Robbie and Katie, the event coordinators at desert willow, were the best at supporting and helping us in planning our wedding. Highly recommend this place for a wedding.

A beautiful back drop with a magical team of professionals

We were originally drawn to Desert Willow by its beauty, but the real magic behind Desert Willow is Robbie Lomes and Harry Reuter. Robbie has a wealth of knowledge and provided endless suggestions for capturing our vision and making it even better. She was extremely easy to work with and responded to every email or text within a day if not the hour. All of our ideas and desires from the beginning of the planning process to the end were met with a smile and can do attitude by both Robbie and Harry. Unfortunately we experienced some unexpected winds in the morning of our wedding, but Robbie kept in touch throughout the day and suggested a seamless pivot. Harry took care of our every need during the wedding and reception. His entire team of servers and bartenders were true professionals and kept our guests happy throughout the evening. The food was delicious and beautifully presented during our tasting and I wondered if the same would be true at the wedding when 140 guests are being served. Fortunately, my worries were put to rest; the meal even exceeded expectations. Many guests raved about the food. Do not hesitate to put your trust in the Desert Willow team...they are all remarkable!
