The Duce: The Perfect Venue for a Memorable Event!

We just hosted PHOENIX magazine’s Best Fest at The Duce, and wow – what an incredible experience! From the start, their team made everything so easy. They were super helpful, organized, and honestly just a pleasure to work with.

The venue itself is such a cool spot! It has this amazing mix of retro vibes and modern touches, with plenty of space to make the event flow perfectly. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome the place was – it’s got a character that really makes it stand out from other venues.

The food and drinks were a big hit too! Their cocktails were on point, and the fresh, local food had everyone coming back for more. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.

If you’re looking for a fun, unique venue in Phoenix with an awesome team behind it, The Duce is definitely the spot. We loved every minute of our event there and can’t wait to do it again!

Amazing venue and event coordinator!

I'm so grateful that I decided to have my reception at the Duce. I honestly can not say enough positive things about Miranda, the wedding coordinator. She was so helpful, responsive and aways willing to meet at the venue, even on her off days. She alleviated all of my stress by taking care of decorating exactly how I had imagined. The Duce was the perfect place to hold my reception. It provides such a unique, fun atmosphere. All of my guest had a blast! You will not regret your decision to plan your special event at The Duce. Miranda will exceed your expectations and do an amazing job to help you plan your perfect day.

We threw our wedding here, and it was amazing! We worked with Keeley, the events coordinator, who went above and beyond. She made it very easy to coordinate with our vendors, and we were impressed that she remembered all of the details that we discussed to help make everything run smoothly and stress-free on wedding day. The level of person attention that Keeley gave throughout the entire year of planning was more than we could have asked for. Our guests raved about how fantastic the cocktails were, and everyone loved how warm and unique the space was, and how elegant it looked for the event.

One of the reasons that we chose the Duce was for their delicious food and cocktail menu, and they did not disappoint with the quality. The bartenders went out of their way to give amazing service, and really added to the atmosphere. We chose Brandon, who is the house DJ, who did a great job as the MC, and kept the party going.

Overall, we can’t thank the Duce enough for making our wedding day so special!
