Even better than we had hoped!

Having lived in Scottsdale previously, we knew that the Hotel Valley Ho was our ideal venue but it wasn’t until the event staff swung into action that we truly realized how incredible the experience would be. Their packages made planning ridiculously easy and all the staff were super responsive to my emails and texts, right up until our planner collected us from our room the day of. We wanted our guests to revel in the experience almost as much as we would and the day and evening were filled with exclamations and compliments on everything from the venue and the views to the food, drinks and service. The preferred vendors for dessert (Paula Jacqueline Cakes & Pastries) and DJ (Starz Entertainment) were superb as well. 18 months later, we still revel in the fact that our wedding was everything we hoped for (and more!).

Incredible Wedding Venue

Choosing Hotel Valley Ho as our wedding venue was the best decision!! It is such a stunning site and made our day so magical. The hotel design is beautiful and gives a vintage vibe, and the grounds are a gorgeous oasis. It's also in a great location and walkable around Old Town Scottsdale. Their event coordinator Allison Chapin is amazing - she was there for us every step of the way to answer questions and really went the extra mile helping us. She provided great advice and recommendations - and she and her team were so supportive during our wedding weekend. Helping with everything from setting up decor so we didn't have to worry about it to even helping bustle my dress. Allison is the best!

We had a lot of family traveling from out of town for our wedding who stayed at Hotel Valley Ho and they absolutely loved it. It was so much fun to have our closest friends and family together for our wedding weekend and we had a blast hanging out at the pool, bar/restaurant, etc. The Hotel Valley Ho rooftop was such a picturesque backdrop and had the most stunning views of Scottsdale and Camelback Mountain. The Sands was such a fun reception space, too, on-site!

Highly recommend Hotel Valley Ho for your wedding - you won't regret it!

So grateful

While I did not have my wedding ceremony here, The Valley Ho was where I stayed the night of my wedding as well as my guests. Abby was so helpful in arranging our room block and patient with the amounts of changes occurring due to the pandemic. The hotel was immaculate and all staff was kind and courteous.
Amber Allen helped to arrange the catered breakfast the morning after our wedding.
Amber was very flexible in working with our needs regarding budget.
It makes me so happy to know that I can come back to The Valley Ho and be reminded about the happiest day of my life.
Thank you for making this such a special occasion for us!

Working with Wedding Coordinator

I live out of town and my daughter lives in Phoenix. Needless to say, I had a great deal of anxiety around helping to plan a wedding from a distance. Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, we were late to the race (it was already June and the wedding was scheduled for September 1st). Save the Date had been sent out, people booked flights, hotels, Airbnb's, etc.. Needless to say, I was in a bit of a "panic mode". When I met Jamie, I could feel the stress just melt off. Jamie assuaged ALL my fears and totally took over, without bowling us over. It was just what was needed. We looked at three venues and (miraculously!) they all had our date available. As soon as I met Jamie I knew...this was the one!
I cannot say enough about Jamie Jones and Hotel Valley Ho. If you are looking for a fantastic place to have your wedding, look no further. Classy, elegant, top notch without breaking the bank. Jamie was knowledgeable, efficient, flexible, creative, resourceful. She was an outstanding Wedding Coordinator (included!) totally listened to what we wanted and paid attention to details. She is genuine, the real deal and cares about you. She made my daughter's wedding day very special. Five stars+!!! *****

Our Best Day due to the Hotel Valley Ho staff!!

We got married at the Valley Ho in November 2019 and had the absolute best experience and night of our dreams! Our ceremony and reception were both up on the rooftop, with our cocktail hour in the garden. Aside from the awesome views and gorgeous landscape, the staff at the Valley Ho really made the experience unforgettable. Jamie Jones was our staffer from the very beginning of meeting with the hotel, all the way up until the very night and she was so dialed in to every single detail. Her positivity, willingness to help (she even helped bustle my dress!!!) and hard work did not go unnoticed. Our main goal for our wedding was to a) be present, enjoy and remember every single moment of the day b) eat our dinner c) show our guests the best weekend in Scottsdale especially since so many were from out of town. We 100% felt like we achieved that and with thanks to to many wonderful employees at the hotel, we had a seamless and amazing day with our friends and family. We love you Hotel Valley Ho!

Exceptional venue and service

I can't say enough about the personal service, attention to detail and caring attitude of the hotel, event and catering staff. We planned a destination wedding from long distance and had the event of a lifetime. Great hotel with such a special, unique vibe.

Unique, stylish and stress-free wedding - definitely recommend

We could not more highly recommend the Hotel Valley Ho as a wedding venue. The hotel itself is a gorgeous mid-century design classic - it's hip, it's fun and embraces the desert vibe while serving as an oasis in the Arizona sun. Our guests raved over their rooms and the pools. It's location in old town Scottsdale makes it walkable to all the local shops and sights. Most our guests travelled from outside of Arizona and many from Europe, and really appreciated the local charm that the HVH and Scottsdale had to offer.

From a wedding stand point - the in-house coordination by Allison was everything we could have hoped for and more. She was so helpful, full of advice and always found a way to make things work. She was also so calm and organized on the day - we planned our wedding from London and because of her did not need to hire a local wedding planner. We would highly recommend her - our wedding would not have been the success it was without her!

We had dinner on the roof top at sunset. Our guests loved the views of Camelback against a classic AZ sunset. We had so many compliments about how wonderful it was to dine out at sunset and under the stars. In-house catering with HVH is fantastic - they use the same kitchen as their own restaurant Zuzu, which is definitely worth visiting even if you're not staying at the hotel.

If you're looking for a unique, stylish, incredibly stress-free wedding that you and your guests will love, you should definitely look into HVH. We couldn't be happier with our venue decision.

My wife and I could not possibly be happier with our venue choice. Hotel Valley Ho will impress.

Hotel Valley Ho was honestly perfect. The entire staff was the consummate example of hospitable. Allison Chapin (the event coordinator) is an absolute Rockstar. She gave the best advice every step of the way and helped walk us through anything she could assist with whenever we messaged or met with her. She provided tons of recommendations for our other vendors which we were happy to capitalize on, and it left us with a team that has worked on numerous weddings together in the past. My wife was also blown away by how quickly she could bustle her dress, so there’s the impressive cherry on top of it all.
Thank you to Allison and all the staff at Valley Ho,
Trevor & Hannah

The Best Venue. Period.

Hotel Valley Ho was the absolute best place to get married! From the day we decided to book the venue, up through the day of, the staff of the hotel were the absolute best. They really know how to take care of you! They did not miss a beat in planning and details. We even had a personal cocktail mixing session to develop our custom cocktails! Allison, the day of coordinator was INCREDIBLE, relieving all stress I had so that I didn't have to worry about anything. Best of all - the guests LOVEEDDD the venue - from the rooms, to the pool to the ease and flow of the wedding day. From the lawn, to the roof, to the ballroom, it was perfectly seamless! And happy guests = happy party! Thank you Valley Ho for EVERYTHING!

Mid-century perfection

Throughout our wedding day, our guests could not stop talking about the amazing venue that is the Hotel Valley Ho. We really took the history as an advantage to give them a mid-century desert experience, and it would not have been possible without the amazing staff at the hotel. Everything from the pool party on Friday to breakfast on Sunday was perfect, and everyone was so nice and gracious to all of our guests. The food was to die for, several of our guests commented that they’ve never had such delicious food at a wedding. Allison was great to work with and so nice throughout the whole process. Overall everyone made us feel so special and gave us a PERFECT wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
