About this venue
Established in 1976, The Scottsdale Resort and Spa is a wedding venue located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Originally, the site was founded as the first conference resort in the country. Through modern renovations, The Scottsdale Conference Center transformed into the facility it is today. At this establishment, soon-to-be newlyweds can enjoy the natural Sonoran Desert beauty while still in close proximity to many local shops, clubs, and restaurants.
Facilities and Capacity
Whether couples are planning an intimate or grand wedding, they will find accommodating, expansive event spaces at the Scottsdale Resort. Depending on the setting selected, up to 1,000 guests can fit comfortably. For an elegant ceremony, the ballrooms, with their classic decor and sparkling fixtures, are sure to impress. The romantic Grand Coronado Ballroom adds a sense of sophistication to any event, featuring details such as the 12-foot teardrop-crystal chandeliers. Adjacent to this space is the Sunset Plaza which offers a refreshing open-air setting. Outdoors, there are six unique sites for couples to choose from. The tucked-away Alameda area features a soft sandstone courtyard that can accommodate 50 to 500 loved ones. For a more intimate event, the Garden Court is a quaint space decorated with natural stone tiles and soft lighting. The Paradise Park Lawn welcomes guests through a rustic gate under swaying palm trees. Spanish colonial hallways frame this grass area, reflecting the surrounding impressive architecture. In Bennie’s Courtyard, couples and their loved ones are invited to dine and dance under twinkling lights and beside a grand stone fireplace. Any of these event spaces can be personalized to meet the soon-to-be newlyweds’ vision. All of the sites, both indoors and outdoors, provide a scenic desert backdrop for wedding photographs, as well.

Wedding Reception
Best covid wedding of 2020!
Beautiful venue, very happy client
As far as the hotel rooms (we stayed for one night), talk about amazing customer service! My room was spotless, the bed was comfy, the decor was very classic and cute, the pillows were luxurious, there was a light up makeup mirror and seated vanity (made putting on my makeup so comfortable) and because it was my husband's big birthday, they left us a bottle of champagne with a nice handwritten greeting card. I was blown away.
I'm in the events industry and I look at venues all day so it's hard to impress me but The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch is the best venue I've worked with, easy, affordable, beautiful, great food, staff is on their game, and I've gotten a lot of compliments from my guests about the venue. Not to mention they are super Covid safe (we had our party outside), they spaced out the chairs and tables, they wrap the silverware separately, they always wear masks, and I highly recommend them.
The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch
We can’t say enough great things about Chef Subhi. Each event of our wedding had food service and Chef Subhi created amazing menus for each meal. His knowledge and execution of the traditional Indian dishes blew our mind. He was able to execute everything from Indian street foods, traditional Indian dishes, and also mix in an Asian fusion style that bridged the gap of pallets of taste. People that attended are still raving about the delicious food Chef Subhi was able to make.
Our wedding cake made by the inhouse baker Mary was amazing!!! Her ability to not only bake a delicious cake, the ability to artfully design it with our color scheme took it over the top.
We had a lot of out of town guests that needed to be situated for the weekend. Debra was able to coordinate with us and our wedding planner in order to make everyone’s lodging situation seamless.
None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Emily Kix. The moment we met her to discuss our possible wedding plans we knew that the McCormick Ranch was the venue for our wedding. She made us feel comfortable and was awesome to work with. Without her coordination with our wedding planner our wonderful wedding weekend would not have been as amazing as it turned out!!! We highly recommend The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch!!!
Emily Kix is amazing to work with.
