Very Impressive Wedding Venue

Although we did not choose Thornager's for our wedding, we were highly impressed with it when we toured! I would highly recommend this venue, as its reception area was beautiful and my favorite that I've seen. Karen Sorensen is so knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and knows exactly what she is doing! We would have felt so comfortable working with her and this beautiful venue. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a foresty ceremony site.

We hired Thornager's to cater our wedding. Karen and Monika were extremely helpful and quick to address any questions or concerns that we had. The day of our wedding, Karen and Quinn were at the venue and they had service running smoothly. We had soo many complements on the food and the Avocado Bar was huge hit! Everything was delicious!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is planning an event

Karen and her staff were fantastic. They were friendly, helpful and they took the stress out of any and all wedding issues. They were flexible, and when we had a problem with the cake that came from Phoenix unfrozen and had an issue with the frosting as a result, Karen had an amazing baker fix it in time for our big day. The venue was cozy and the staff was on hand for all our needs. It was fun being married in the Pines, and it provided for a unique experience for ourselves and our guests. The food was great and everyone enjoyed it. Karen is a real pro when it comes to these types of affairs and knows how to anticipate problems and her response was always yes I can. I love that and we loved Thornagers.

Thornagers did a fantastic job handling my rehearsal dinner for 65 people and then returning the next day for my wedding for 90. She had a wide variety of menus and food to choose from, however, I decided to pick some of my own recipes to go with some of hers. It turned out amazing! My husband is from Ireland so she helped me bring out little things through the menu to show appreciation to his culture. She can either take charge or work with you with your vision. I love love love food, so this was very important to me. Keep an open line of communication and you will have a fantastic menu!

Working with Karen was an absolute pleasure! She was so helpful through out the entire event and she helped run everything smoothly. The food and cake were delicious! The guests raved about the appetizers and the Mac and cheese! Karen went above and beyond to make our day so special. We would recommend her to anyone in the Flagstaff area!

Thornagers was the first venue I looked at, I absolutely loved everything about it! Karen the owner was amazing to work with, she gave me several recommendations and really knows what she is doing. Eric the event service manager took such great care of us during the rehearsal and helped me plan out the ceremony. Everything on the wedding day went very smoothly and stress free so I could enjoy our day.

Thornager's is one of the most well established and best run venues in N. AZ. We've been working with Karen and her team for many wonderful years. Their food is always delicious and they consistently provide exceptional customer service to their clients, both at their own venue AND at any outside venue where they have a hand in the catering or event planning. One of our personal favorite things about them is that we as fellow event professionals always feel well respected and taken care of. Karen has a knack for hiring the right staff that all seem to treat us, their guests, and each other, like an extended family. From a venue perspective, Thornager's is the "Goldy Locks" venue for many people in that it's "Just Right" in so many ways, particularly in size, service and value. If your looking for a venue for your festivities we HIGHLY recommend them.
