So many amazing things to say! Morgan was professional and accommodating along with the rest of the staff. We married on the roof top and then danced the day away in the ballroom and Cantina. We had a live musician on the patio and a Dj inside. The open bar had everyone partying at noon as if it was midnight. The daytime deal was the most cost effective for us and worked out perfect. We chose to have appetizers instead of sit down meals and it worked out to be the perfect amount of food and booze to keep everyone dancing and contempt.

A Wedding Jewel!
Red Mesa Events is the secret jewel of weddings! Words will not be enough to express my appreciation to this company during my wedding planning process. My ceremony was on the rooftop and reception was in the ballroom which comfortably fits 100 people with plenty of room for dancing. The venue is gorgeous and it is basically a one stop shop. Booking the venue included fancy wedding chairs, silverware, up lighting, a projector, food, diamond arch, linen, sound system, decorations, and a super professional director of events, Morgan! If you need something, just ask, they probably have it Lol!! My husband and I planned our wedding without a wedding planner which is stressful. However, Morgan made the task so much easier. She was responsive, flexible, and very easy to work with. The food and cocktails at our wedding were delicious!!!! Our guests are still talking about the food and the venue lol!! I highly recommend this venue!! You will not regret it!

Perfect venue!
Highly recommend Red Mesa as a wedding venue! Morgan and her team made our wedding absolutely perfect and beyond our expectations. So many of our guests were raving about the unique and beautiful space. And the food was AMAZING. Their prices are reasonable and since it’s owned by a restaurant they took care of set up, break down, linens, plates, chairs, food, alcohol, etc. I literally had nothing to worry about the day of, they handled everything! They even included some decorations like the arch and gold votives. We are soo happy with Red Mesa Events!
