A Perfect Day

My husband and I got married at Talking Stick Golf Club this past March 2020. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an unbelievable view and a staff who goes above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect. Stefanie, the event coordinator at Talking Stick was amazing. We did not have a personal wedding coordinator but it felt like we did with everything that Stefanie did for us. She met with us multiple times during the planning process to go over details, any concerns that I had, she set up a mock table and hosted us for a perfect food tasting. The venue allowed us to drop off all of our wedding decor the day before the wedding and at the end of the night the staff members broke everything down and placed it back in a room so we were able to pick it up the day after the wedding, which was extremely helpful. The course also provided us with multiple golf carts right after the ceremony so the bridal party, family members and photographer could find the perfect spots for pictures after the ceremony. Also, the food was incredible and is still brought up to us. The staff members at Talking Stick were so great to us and like I said before, we highly recommend.

Thank You for the Perfect Setting and Experience!

We are so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. The venue was truly breathtaking, the views alone left everyone in awe and set the most beautiful backdrop for our celebration.

But beyond the scenery, what really stood out was your amazing team. From start to finish, the staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. Every detail was executed seamlessly, and we were able to relax and be fully present knowing everything was in such capable hands.

Thank you for not only providing a stunning space, but for creating such a smooth, stress-free experience. You made us feel so cared for, and we’ll never forget how special it all felt. We couldn’t have imagined a better place or better people to celebrate the most important day of our lives.

My DayDream Wedding

I had my dream wedding at the Talking Stick in October 2024. I married my Prince charming and the venue provided the perfect landscape for my vision. Annemarie and Ashleigh are great at what they do and they will go over and beyond for you. If it wasn’t for Ashleigh‘s expertise, we would not have captured the most magical sunset. Her timing was impeccable. I highly recommend Talking Stick weddings for a magical wedding. Forever grateful to them. The Nances 🤍

I honestly can't say enough great things about this venue! We had the wedding of our dreams here! We wanted something that felt casual and classy, like a backyard party with our closest family and friends, and something in the desert to show off where we have made our home. We got all of this and more at Talking Stick Golf Club! They had indoor and outdoor options, an awesome bar set up, plenty of room for all our guests, and amazing service.

I met with Mark several times during the 7 months we were planning our wedding, and each time he was so sincere in making sure we were happy with what they had to offer for our day. Mark was very flexible when I asked if we could hold our ceremony in a different location from where they normally take place, and he was flexible when we wanted different food options from what they have to offer. They had awesome hor d'oeuvres and our guests had a GREAT time at the open bar. They let us bring our bags boards and they even had a huge fire pit in the front where they allowed us to set up a s'mores bar! We were also able to take a golf cart out around the course with our photographer so we could get our photos taken out in the desert and in front of the beautiful mountains that are the backdrop to the course.

They have two rooms that were perfect for us to get ready in, separate enough so we didn't see each other until it was time. One of the best parts about this place is the fact that it's small and intimate, and they only host one event at a time so we were the only wedding party there that day. There were golfers still around the course, but I barely noticed them and we had the majority of the property to ourselves which made it feel like our own private venue. It was perfect! To top if off, at the end of the night, we headed over to the casino and Mark personally drove us over there! Thank you so much to Mark and his team....way way above our expectations! We're still dreaming about our wedding day!

My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased with the support and service we received through the entire wedding planning process. Everything was organized and easy for us and our guests on the big day. Everyone raved about the food and you can't beat the beautiful venue. We highly recommend Talking Stick Golf Club for any group function.
thanks Dru, Mark, Chef and team.

It was the wedding of our dreams! Thanks to Dru, Mark and the wonderful team at Talking Stick Golf Club, April 12th was a day our friends, family and we will always remember. We did not hire a wedding planner, but one wasn't needed because Dru's understanding of our vision and level of detail and execution made it easy for us to enjoy our day knowing everything would be perfect. The venue is set against The McDowell Mountains which is idyllic and creates breathtaking views/photographs. The grounds were exclusively ours (inside and outside) creating an intimate setting for our guests and us. Everyone raved about the food which was prepared exactly as we desired. If you have a vision for your wedding, Talking Stick Golf Club will see it through to a tee.

Kudos to you, Dru and Mark! We are still receiving comments on how beautiful and perfect everything was. We will readily recommend Talking Stick Golf Club to anyone planning their wedding. Thank you!

Talking Stick Golf Course was such an amazing location to be married. Everyone was so accommodating, especially Dru, the event coordinator. She was easy and fun to work with and she is very organized. I was not stressed at all during the planning process because Dru made sure everything was done. Their restaurant is amazing and the food at the wedding was equally impressive. The scenery was beautiful and made for some fantastic memories and photos. All of our guests from in and out of town loved the experience, it was simply the best wedding thanks to Dru and the Talking Stick staff!

Dru was simply amazing. Every detail was taken care of - from planning, rehearsal dinner to the wedding night - we were extremely impressed. The service and food was outstanding, it has been a couple weeks and I am still receiving “best wedding ever” emails from our guests.

We highly recommend this venue!!
