The best choice we made for our wedding!
Choosing Sanctuary as our venue was the best (and easiest) choice we could have made for our wedding. Obviously the scenery at Sanctuary is absolutely gorgeous, but while there are a few other venue options in Paradise Valley that also have incredible desert views, Sanctuary stood out because of the amazing food and the level of service. My husband said the appetizers (esp the scallops) might just be the best thing he's ever eaten. They don't nickel and dime you for things like chairs and table linens, which makes planning so much easier and great peace of mind that you're not going to go over budget.

Planning a wedding during covid was a big challenge with enough stress on it's own, so we couldn't be more thankful for how understanding and flexible Sanctuary was in allowing us to decide how we wanted to proceed with our big day and guest list. Jessica was great to work with and provided us helpful recommendations like our band, The Lucky Devils who our guests are still raving about.
Finally as a nice little surprise, I honestly wasn't expecting too much for the honeymoon suite, but the room and set-up blew me away! It literally looks like a fantasy suite on the Bachelor. We are planning to come back for anniversaries!
We (and all our guests!) really had an amazing wedding day and can't recommend this place enough.

The perfect honeymoon stay
My wife and I stayed here for four days following our wedding in the Scottsdale area for our "mini-moon" to kick off married life with some relaxation and alone time. We stayed in one of the spa villas. We couldn't be happier with our experience. First, the service was phenomenal, to the point where all the staff new us by Mr/Mrs even on our first day. Everyone was available and willing to make our experience better, from food, to drinks by the pool, to the spa, to room service, to bell desk. Second, the property and surrounding areas are beautiful. Third, the spa was a great experience--as part of our stay package, we got a significant amount of credit that gave us about a massage per day during our stay, and the folks at the spa were very good. Fourth, our villa was fantastic, including a great bed, tons of space, and a very nice outdoor bath that had candles lit by it as part of turndown service. We would highly recommend this resort anytime you are looking to have the best of comfort and service. We are already planning out return.

Best venue we could’ve hoped for
We love love loved this venue for our wedding! It provided the most spectacular views for our photos and the sunset there during cocktail hour was unreal. The team is also a joy to work with. Everyone from Robin in sales to the valet guys were so nice. We worked closely with Jessica, and she patiently and kindly answered all of our questions, was super helpful, and very responsive. Thank you Sanctuary, for making our wedding day magical!

Sanctuary is such a gem in the valley; the views, the food, and the service is spectacular. The couple I planned with; could not have been happier on their most special wedding day at Sanctuary!
We love Sanctuary! So excited every time we get to work there. One of the best and most on-point staff in the industry! They run great weddings and have attracted some of our favorite clients! Stellar location for sure.
Highly recommend the The Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa for your wedding venue...the view is amazing from the Ceremony site and their extremely talented staff makes sure everything runs smoothly and seemless. It's a beautiful property!!
