Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia

The best decision I made in our wedding planning process was picking the Montelucia, and the main reason why is because of Sales and Catering Manager Amanda Hughes. Amanda was truly the bright spot during my whole wedding process and I will forever be grateful to her! IT didn't matter if I was having issues with a separate department she always took care of everything. Amanda is patient, caring, and so kind. She really made sure I had everything I needed and worked with my budget. Of course the Montelucia has the most stunning ceremony space in Scottsdale, but truly go with the Montelucia for your wedding so you can work with her. I got so many compliments on how amazing the service was at the reception and how smooth the entire day was. Thank you for everything Amanda!!

I have so many positive things to say about my experience with the Omni Montelucia for our wedding.

We used the Castillo room for both our reception and ceremony. I knew from the moment I saw other photos of this particular event space that this was the place I wanted to get married. It is dark and moody and sensual. The chandeliers are incredible and are enhanced with additional candles in that space.

Brooke (wedding event coordinator) was an actual lifesaver. I don’t know what we would have done without her. She gave us ideas when I felt stuck or confused for decorating. She helped guide us with decision making. She explained various pros and cons of menu selections or timelines. Brooke set up various tastings and made the experience absolutely magical. I felt at ease whenever in her presence. She went out of her way to make me feel like royalty, and I had never experienced that before. I will always be appreciative of her and her team for the kindness they showed us from start to finish.

The staff during our wedding day were beyond attentive and on top of it. My guests told me after the fact how staff never let their drinks run empty or their food get cold. The service was impeccable. My guests were absolutely astounded by the experience that night.

I cannot recommend this venue enough. If this fits your budget, and you are able to add to the venue by additional decorating vendors and djs and entertainment, this will be the best night of your life! Plus the actual rooms are to die for in terms of accommodations.

The most important thing to know is: this venue offers the basics for seating and dining. They include food and beverage in wedding packages. They include basic table clothes and lanterns. If you want extra you will need to contract with outside vendors. I was scared about not having seating for my guests during cocktail hour outside the Castillo room, however they ended up using the resort tables and chairs that were already in the space and it wasn’t an issue at all!

The food, servers, and bar tenders were all 10/10 and I cannot thank them enough. You can tell they work hard to make everyone satisfied.

I will never forget that night and I am forever thankful. Like I said, if this fits your budget (approx $40,000 to account for all other vendors for entertainment) then please consider this venue. The Castillo room has so much potential for like minded gothic/vampire enthusiasts!

They know what they are doing!! If you want your guests to have an amazing experience with great views and great food this is it!

You can't do better than the Montelucia for your wedding (or any event, really). They have the most gorgeous venues for the wedding ceremony and reception as well as countless amazing places for taking pictures around the property. When you step on to the property, you honestly feel like you traveled to the south of Spain with the gorgeous Andalusian architecture/decor. They have amazing rooms, resort amenities for out of town guests (amazing spa, pool, restaurants, café), the BEST food and chef (we had a steak entree and some amazing appetizers that were to die for), the best service, the best location (super close to the airport and in the prestigious Paradise Valley neighborhood) and the best staff. There is no one pickier than me. I looked at comparable properties in Scottsdale/Paradise Valley/Phoenix and the Montelucia won our business hands down by a landslide - no one can come close to the Montelucia in any category. Lauren Ryan was my catering manager and Traci Mead was the person I dealt with to book the Montelucia. Lauren and Traci are absolutely fantastic and extremely professional. I would highly recommend the Montelucia not just for its beauty, superior service and incredible accommodations and food, but I would have an event here again and again just to have Lauren Ryan as the person overseeing my event. Words cannot express how wonderful and professional she is. I will always be grateful to her for making our wedding a beautiful and memorable day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She went above and beyond before, during and after our event and accommodated so many requests. Traci Mead was also amazing to work with during sales phase. Our guests are still raving about the our wedding, the amazing food, the beauty of the resort. Thank you!!

The Montelucia is easily the most beautiful resort in the area-- the grounds and architecture are very photogenic for all of our wedding photos. We looked at a ton of venues and the location in front of Camelback Mountain, uniqueness of the resort, food, and staff could not be beat. The coordinator there, Courtney, is absolutely incredible and is willing to work with you on every detail of your wedding. The day of our wedding was perfect, the staff at the Montelucia not only treated my husband and myself like royalty all day, but every single guest was blown away. Additionally their food was spectacular and not just simply "served" but "presented to the guest" in an elegant and thoughtful manner. The staff and coordinators adapted quickly and reliably when things went wrong (a glass breaks, or the ceremony goes over time). The Montelucia is an expensive venue, but if you can spend the money there is nowhere else to get married but here.

I have not been able to find words to express how wonderful the Montelucia was in preparing for our wedding - with about 11 days to plan!
Our original venue cancelled on us 11 days prior to our wedding. In a panic, I started calling around to find a new venue. Upon talking to Courtney Townsend at the Montelucia, I knew I had found our new place.
Courtney did everything in her power to take the stress off of Chris and I and handle everything for us. Her team helped us book guest rooms, rearrange our vendors, etc. Courtney helped us get a menu together, went through every detail of the wedding, and took all of the pressure, stress, and tears away!
Our day turned out to be more than we ever could have expected. Courtney was literally an angel sent to help us! Once she took the reigns, everything just flowed. Our day was flawless - Chris and I were taken care of from morning till night (Courtney even brought our scrapbook, cake, champagne, gifts, etc to our room for us!), and we truly could not have asked for more.
We were treated like family. I honestly don't know how to verbalize how much the team at the Montelucia, namely Courtney, did for us. We are forever grateful!

It stormed on my wedding day. My entire wedding was outside. The Montelucia moved the entire thing inside and then back outside once the rain stopped. Their service is impeccable!

This resort is just stunning. We had so many out of town guests who just absolutely loved staying here. I'm so happy I had my wedding at the Montelucia and frankly, there was no where else I wanted to have it. The place is beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous, the amenities are fabulous and the view is just outstanding. The catering department is top notch and they really couldn't have been more accommodating. Traci and Lauren were an absolute delight to work with...especially during the most stressful of times. On top of that, people continue to mention how great the food was.

The entire staff at Montelucia was AMAZING!!! From planning our wedding with Lauren, who was such a pleasure to work with , to the banquet staff including our banquet captain Jennifer, to the bellman including the bellman captain Isidro, made our wedding weekend/day perfect, not only for us but also for our guests with their kindness and expertise. Everyone went above and beyond and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

The food was fantastic!! All our guests commented how good it was along with the service. The Valencia Lawn with Camelback Mountain in the background couldn’t have been more beautiful for the ceremony. It was absolutely gorgeous and everyone was in awe.

We are so glad we choose the Montelucia!

it was a joy working with the staff of the Montelucia. Not only do they have a beautiful setting, they work tirelessly to make sure the event is flawless. They truly care, are flexible during the planning process and extremely efficient. I am so grateful for all they did for us!
