If you want to have the most AMAZING wedding day – you MUST book Mountain Shadows! They are simply amazing. I knew the minute we toured the property with Zeina (in pouring rain, which never happens in Arizona) over a year ago that Mountain Shadows was something truly special.
During the year of planning, Zeina and Greg, went above and beyond. They did whatever was necessary to help us bring our vision to life from the ceremony to reception. Every question and concern was immediately answered. The attention to detail including food allergies was refreshing and I knew that no matter what it would be a great wedding and it absolutely was!
Zeina had everything under control during our wedding weekend and it seemed to go on without a hitch. During the reception, everything was handled so beautifully and seamlessly! We are still blown away. The food was amazing and our guests have not stopped raving not only about the food but about the incredible service from the entire staff.
The attention to the little details really is what stands out for us. Zeina and Greg were in constant communication not just with me and our planner but our vendors. They would e-mail me just to check in to see HOW I was doing especially as the big day approached. Zeina was there when we checked into the hotel on Friday afternoon and was attentive to all of our needs during the entire weekend. And finally, having a server at the reception assigned solely to the bride and groom to cater to our needs – these are just a few of the many little touches that make Mountain Shadows extraordinary.
Choosing to have our wedding at Mountain Shadows was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Throughout the yearlong planning process, we were never made to feel like a nameless client but friends. Thank you to everyone at Mountain Shadows for making our wedding weekend such a special and wonderful experience. I cannot recommend Mountain Shadows highly enough!

The most beautiful venue in PV
Mountain shadows is hands down the most beautiful venue in Scottsdale/ PV with the best views of camelback mountain. Greg Wirth is the most amazing person to work with and is always on top of his game. I never worried about a thing because Greg is so knowledgeable and always kept myself and our planner in the loop. My wedding flowed smoothly, the food was delicious, the staff SO friendly. I have nothing but gratitude to everyone from mountain shadows that worked hard on giving me the most incredible wedding. I wish I could relive this day over and over again.
