Hotel Arista

Hotel Arista was the perfect venue for you. From the start, Katie was very responsive, helpful, and just so easy to work with. We went from not wanting a hotel wedding at all, to having our reception there. Katie was always there to answer my questions and thoroughly answer them, from questions about the contract to random ones throughout. She made the whole process so much easier! Her help and flexibility made such a difference.
The entire staff at Hotel Arista is amazing! Everyone we worked with was so friendly and accomodating. The reservations team made it so easy to have rooms added to our block and explained things to me when we had questions. Everyone was so immaculate.
Our reception was absolutely perfect! Everyone loved the food, the ballroom was beautiful, and Katie and the staff made everything go off without an issue. A few things did come up, but they were quickly resolved.
Also, our cake was through a local bakery, part of the contract, which makes things easier (one less vendor to try and source) and everyone raved about it.
With everything Hotel Arista provides, it's so convenient! You aren't trying to source out multiple vendors because they don't provide them - Hotel Arista takes the work out, and provides top of line ones for you.
We loved going from our reception, to the bar with our friends, and then to our rooms on our wedding night. No coordinating on how to get there or who was, just everyone walked over there, and the party kept going.
If we could do it all over again, we would definitely pick Hotel Arista!

We must say we were a little scared at first booking a venue site unseen. However; that is until we met Katie Jones. She answered every question that we had and gave us additional information (that we did not know to ask). She understood that we lived in California and she was accommodating to schedule meetings around times that was suitable for us. When we finally got to visit the property, everything was sharp and spotless. We were also impressed with the superb customer service from the staff as a whole around the property. They felt genuine which reassured us that we picked the perfect venue. After all the planning and preparations we were highly impressed with the final product. Katie made sure to assist whenever needed. She helped all of our vendors and brought our Event Planner up to speed with the property to give us the very best experience. We kind of joked that on the day of the event, Katie must’ve had a clone. She was always present whenever we needed her while at the same time she was always helping out where ever needed and she always did it with a smile. She made our weekend everything we imagined and then some. Our guests continuously complimented us on picking the best venue, so clean and professional. We must say we are beyond pleased with the Hotel Arista. Thank you Katie and your team for everything. Job well done!

Channing and I were married on April 5, 2025, and choosing Hotel Arista with Katie Jones as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

From the very first moment we reached out, Katie was incredibly responsive, patient, and thorough. She always took the time to answer our questions in detail, whether they were contract-related questions or random thoughts that came up throughout the planning process that we needed help or advice on. From our first in person meeting, she was pleasant, easygoing, and genuinely kind, asked about our family and really took the time to get to know us as a couple which I thought was a great quality to have. It wasn’t just about business, but about building a relationship and making us feel valued, and respected as people throughout the whole process! Katie and the entire Hotel Arista staff handled everything with such professionalism that it immediately put us at ease.

Katie demonstrated exceptional organizational skills and budget management. We had to make a few contract edits along the way to better align with our budget, which could have been frustrating, but she handled every change gracefully and presented it to us without hesitation. It was clear that her priority was always making us happy and ensuring our wedding matched our vision.

She was also very flexible with scheduling meetings, coordinating our tasting, and walking us through the chef’s presentation. The tasting itself was incredibly comfortable and professional and the food was so good that choosing our final menu was honestly a bit challenging because everything was delicious! On the wedding day, dinner was just as wonderful. Our friends and family were very happy and satisfied with their meals.

Katie also coordinated our rehearsal dinner at CityGate Grille, which was exceptional. The food was great, the staff was attentive, and everyone was pleased with the drinks, service, and overall experience.

One of our most special moments was our first look at the ballroom before guests arrived. We were absolutely in awe of every detail, it was breathtaking. While we were soaking it all in, Katie thoughtfully took photos of us and even texted them to us afterward, which meant so much and felt incredibly personal and sweet.

Katie truly works magic. She is extremely detail-oriented and thoughtful, even down to the smallest things. I had dreamed of having a ceiling greenery focal point over our dance floor, and instead of having us coordinate it ourselves, Katie went above and beyond by working directly with a floral designer to bring that vision to life. I also had some items to be placed around the ballroom & brought my own floral centerpieces, and was worried about who was going to be able to help me put them all where they needed to be, but thankfully she helped stage everything exactly how I envisioned & totally saved me a ton of stress! (HUGE thank you!)

Hotel Arista itself was wonderful to work with, from guest accommodations to ensuring my husband, wedding party, and I had everything we needed on wedding morning. Our guests who stayed overnight were very comfortable and happy, which was so nice to hear.

We highly recommend Hotel Arista, their amazing staff, and especially Katie Jones. What an incredible team to make our wedding truly feel like a dream.

Thank you so kindly for everything!

Hiring Katie Jones from Hotel Arista was, without exaggeration, the single greatest decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. If you are reading this and looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only amazing and wonderful but a true master of logistics and budgeting, stop searching and book her immediately.
From our first consultation, Katie was a calming force, but her real magic was demonstrated in how she handled our finances. We came to her with a specific number for our wedding budget, and she treated it with incredible respect. Thanks to her brilliant planning, we achieved the wedding of our dreams without going a single dollar over budget.
On the wedding day itself, Katie was the calm, flexible, caring, honest, and prompt. Everything flowed seamlessly. She managed every vendor arrival, timeline adjustment, and minor issue behind the scenes with such grace and professionalism that my husband and I felt completely relaxed and able to truly enjoy our celebration. She is kind, attentive, highly organized, and truly goes above and beyond.
We recommend Katie Jones 1000%. She gave us the gift of a stress-free engagement and a perfect, unforgettable wedding day, all while staying perfectly on track financially. Thank you, Katie! We are forever grateful for you!

We are so happy we went with Hotel Arista for our special day and we seriously could not have had a more perfect wedding for us. We could not recommend this venue and Katie enough.

Words cannot describe how perfect my wedding was at Hotel Arista. I would not want it any other way. From the very beginning working with Katie Jones made everything flawless and easy.
