Beautiful venue with outstanding service

We had our wedding at The McCormick Scottsdale in the Lakeside Ballroom, and it was absolutely beautiful. The ballroom offers a stunning view of the lake and golf course, with a mountain backdrop that made the setting even more picturesque. Since our wedding was in the evening, we also had an incredible view of the sunset, which made the atmosphere truly magical. The patio with bistro lights added a romantic touch, and one of our favorite features was the floor-to-ceiling windows that we were able to open in the evening—seamlessly merging the indoor and outdoor spaces for our guests to enjoy.

The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests raved about how much they enjoyed it. It was such a highlight of the evening and really elevated the overall experience.

Debra was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests were well accommodated.

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue or better experience. Highly recommend The McCormick Scottsdale to anyone looking for a gorgeous setting, delicious food, and exceptional service for their special day!

Lakeside Pavillion Wedding

This venue is the perfect spot if you want great food, beautiful scenery and a TOP NOTCH catering director, Debra Gatz, to work with. Debra ensured every vision we had was executed. She was quick to respond, very flexible and a pleasure to work with. The food was delicious at this venue and the views are amazing. Great outdoor space for cocktail hour and a great spot for the
reception. Highly recommend this venue for a wedding. We couldn't have been happier!

The night of our dreams

We had our wedding at The McCormick Scottsdale and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only was is the most beautiful venue with the ceremony by the water, the romantic lighting, and the gorgeous mountain surrounding, but the food was absolutely AMAZING and my guests would not stop ranting and raving about the excellent service from the bar to the waiters to the front desk! They worked with our budget (which was really tight) and me it happen. The day went as smooth as it possibly could have and our wedding will go down in history at one of the best in our big Italian family. We stayed in one of their suites and it made for an end to a perfect night. Debra was an angel and there is no way we could have ever accomplished this without her. We will DEFINATELY be hosting with them again in the future. There aren't good enough words to explain how amazing our experience was with them. 10/10 recommend!!

The Best Customer Service For Your Wedding!

I was the planner for a wedding at The McCormick February 15th and I can not say enough about the entire experience. Den Gatz is a top-notch, no nonsense professional and will never steer you wrong. She is hospitality as its finest. Her captain Monica and bartender Steve made wedding day a breeze. They were responsive, courteous, smart and a delight to work with! My clients are beaming at how their wedding turned out and can't say enough about how wonderful it was. Events By Sloane will be back with future couples and I cant wait to work with them again!

I can not express how grateful I am to have found McCormick Scottsdale and Debby Gatz. When we were searching for venues, I thought I found the right place (it was different venue) and was just going to keep our appointment with Debby out of courtesy. And then we met Debby... and saw the place... and I fell in love. The lakeside view, the floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the bar, the lounge - everything looked perfect - and we booked the place! The beauty of the venue does not compare to how accommodating and how flexible Debby was with all the changes and requests during all the wedding preparation! She is definitely heaven-sent to all brides and wedding planners. Very quick to respond to emails and very flexible with all the guest count changes - she never made us feel bad about asking for anything! The food was overflowing and very delicious - the servers were all very nice and were there even before you knew you needed them! All the guests enjoyed the food, the ambiance, the location! We are so glad to have Debby as part of our wedding - would never have it any other way.

The McCormick Scottsdale was the perfect venue for our wedding!! It was stunning!! The best part was, our wedding day couldn't have run any smoother! Debby had it all under control, we had no worries at all, simply just to enjoy our day. It was absolutely perfect! Debby is experienced, highly skilled, and so easy to work with. We held our rehearsal dinner and reception at The McCormick and so many of our guests commented about how delicious the food was!

This was the most stunning and beautiful wedding we could've ever imagined! Our guests were wowed and Debbie is the best! We didn't need a wedding planner with her on our side. She set up a day before morning rehearsal for us and our party to practice the aisle walk..,it was so easy and she made me feel so calm throughout the process. The lake view and private intimate nature blew me away and really suited ,y husband and I...birds flew up in a formation right after our vows...it was a magic moment. The fireworks and ceiling treatment really took it up a notch! The ballroom doesn't look like much in the daytime but with the curling draped and dj's uplighting, it is jaw dropping, and the perfect size! We even had a photo booth inside and about 150 guests. It was also hands down the best wedding food we ever had..,the food was even better than the tasting, the appetizers were great at cicktail hour and the bar pricing was really fair. Debbie worked with us throughout to make us have the best night ever!!! ❤️
