    Beautiful venue!

    Ancala went above and beyond to make my wedding magical and beautiful! The bridal suite was stunning and I cannot get over how gorgeous the scenery is for wedding photos. We had our ceremony on the driving range for an evening wedding and the sunset made for the perfect background. Many of our guests are from out of state and they said it was the most beautiful venue they've ever seen. The staff at Ancala, from the catering, to the bar service, to the event coordinators, were exquisite! The food, AMAZING! They were more than accommodating to my dietary restrictions (vegan & gluten free). I would recommend Ancala a thousand times over to anyone looking for a beautiful and spacious wedding venue!

    From a Wedding Coordinator's View

    Pop the Cork Productions' experience with Anna and Jodee at Ancala Country Club was all positive! They were a pleasure to work with while finalizing our couple's plans, quick to respond and accommodating with special requests. The day of, the entire team was so helpful, everything was set up as planned in a timeline manner and service went off without a hitch. Our couple was extremely happy with their entire wedding day! We look forward to hopefully working together again soon and will certainly share Ancala Country Club as a recommended venue for our future clients.

    Great staff and very flexible with vendors.

    We loved working with the staff. The venue offers beautiful outdoor reception space along with indoor space and a welcoming staff that is flexible and accommodating. A special thank you to Anna and Jodee.

    WOW! Best Venue and Service

    Ancala's grounds are stunning! From the entrance at the carport to the golf course, lobby, and ballroom, every corner exudes beauty. Plus, the staff members were so polite, helpful, and truly go the extra mile—a rarity in today's world!

    Ancala Hawaiian Luau

    Ancala Country Club is located within our Ancala guard-gated community. Ancala has an active HOA, which has a Hospitality Committee that organizes various social events. For our Spring event, my committee organized a Hawaiian Luau on April 28th with the Club. Since this was a joint event, the Club and Hospitality worked closely to develop our plan and work out the details. The Club staff, Anna Arndt and Bekah Mitts, were a delight to work with - always cheery, cooperative and complimentary. The ballroom was ready for Hospitality to decorate earlier than expected. The dance floor set-up, tables arranged, including the buffet area and bar. The chef provided exceptional food, cooking up smoked Kalua pork and other Polynesian dishes. Our Hawaiian Luau was a success! We could only accomplish this feat with the help and energy of Anna, Bekah and the Ancala Country Club!!

    Gorgeous venue, can't ask for a better place!

    When my husband and I were looking for wedding venue, we knew we wanted a place where the ceremony can be held outdoor with gorgeous backdrop with indoor reception. As soon as we were given a tour of the venue, we were immediately sold! Despite being in a country club, you do not need to be a member to have a wedding at this venue. When we booked this venue, Ancala was going thru management changes but that had never impacted planning at all. Jodee made sure my husband and I are well taken care of throughout the planning phase despite all the management changes and when Anna joined the team, she made the final stretch of the planning as seamless as possible.

    On the wedding day, Anna and the Ancala team make sure everyone in the bridal party is well taken care of and we couldn't ask for better team to support us. One of the most important aspect of our wedding was having good food and Ancala truly delivered! Not only it's probably the best food we've ever had at a wedding, every single guest raved how tasty it was. Our set up was also perfect and gorgeous and they have some of the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony!

    Can't recommend Ancala and their team enough for our perfect wedding day!

    Top notch amazing wedding venue! Hidden gem...

    Hi, we absolutely loved Ancala ! The director, Amy McKee was the best to work with. The venue is up against the McDowell Mountains and is picturesque. We were married on the golf course, had the cocktail hour on their patio outside the big spacious ballroom.. it provided for perfect photos!! We had a plated meal for about 78 guests. Filet mignon and chicken marsala with au gratin potatoes, and asparagus. It was extremely reasonable pricing as well!! They will cut and serve your cake as well...included. Amy worked with us on the seating charts, And decorations. Our wedding was perfect! I don't have any cons to share and would use this venue again.
    I don't have my professional photos back yet but will include a few from our camera. The venue provides for some amazing sunset photos lakeside and near the mountains as well. THe golf course had green immaculate grass as well.

    Ancala Country Club is a must have wedding venue

    We chose this venue mostly because of the wedding coordinator Amy. She was very accommodating and always readily available to answer any questions you might have. Even during these crazy times she managed to help make our dream wedding come true. The venue is absolutely beautiful and all of our guests were taken aback by the view! The food is also delicious and our guests would not stop talking about it. We would recommend Ancala over and over again!

    Simply the BEST!!!

    Our wedding experience was absolutely wonderful at Ancala Country Club! The venue, staff, food, and service was absolutely amazing!!!
    Amy, our coordinator, was readily available to answer any and all questions via phone or email. From our very first visit to our actual wedding day, Amy was nothing less than helpful and professional! Every question and concern we had was answered or dealt with, and her responses were always prompt! Amy was absolutely fabulous, and made the entire planning process so easy!
    We couldn't have been happier with our choice of Ancala Country Club for our wedding on 2/29/20. It was nothing short of AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about Amy and staff at Ancala CC. She worked with my fiance’ and myself to create the perfect wedding! From start to finish, it was more than we could have ever asked for. The service was amazing, the food DELICIOUS, and the drinks flowing all night! Amy was awesome and helped our big day go off without any issues! Our guests raved about the food and the gorgeous venue! We had a picture-perfect day thanks to everyone at Ancala CC, especially Amy! Thank you!

    Highly recommend

    I can not say enough nice things about Ancala and Amy to do it justice. My now husband and I, researched for months , spoke to tons of event coordinators and when we went in to view the venue and speak with Amy we just knew it was the place to make our wedding visions come true! The food was absolutely delicious, all our guests were complementing our menu the entire night. The views from the outside ceremony location were beautiful, the cocktail hour on the patio was a fun transition spot from the ceremony to the reception. He reception room was perfect size with great lighting for all our special moments. Amy was such a blessing in all the chaos of wedding planning. Every question I had she happily answered in a timely manner, and on the wedding day there were zero bumps, everything flowed so smoothly with all the vendors because of Amy’s help.

    Ancala is the place to be for events

    My wife and I were married here at the Ancala and when I say the members and Amy especially had our backs, we thank them every day for a wonderful process. Our pictures were phenomenal due to the wonderful scenery. Amy is a wonderful person/coordinator/Officiant she truly has a touch that you wont find in most people, a true joy to work with. Our food was delicious. All the staff and coordinators were great, even when I had forgotten a few things they made my vision more magical than ever. If we could give 20 stars we would you rock Ancala. Thank you again for a wonderful day.

    Most amazing venue and staff!!

    My husband and I both agree we had the most amazing time at our wedding and that is thanks in large part to Ancala and everyone there. Their staff is so amazing and made sure our drinks and plates were always full. When we started planning they were always there to answer any questions and made it so easy and simple to get everything we wanted. Amy is so great and worked with my crazy Aunts and mother to help plan the wedding of my dreams. I would highly recommend this venue and the entire staff at Ancala.

    Perfect Choice for Arizona

    Everything about Ancala was wonderful. From the first meeting to the day of we felt special, important and that our day mattered to everyone on staff. We chose this location because of the view, price, and the professionalism and honesty of Amy, Director of Private Events. Our guests raved about the food, venue, views, EVERYTHING! We all had the best time and also had quite a few guests with dietary restrictions. Amy and the staff were very creative and accommodating to everyone. Also, there is an endless supply of beautiful photo op locations within Ancala!

    Ancala is the perfect venue for a dream come true wedding. From the moment we met with Fred to tour the venue to the day we said I do, everything was on point! The grounds were gorgeous, patio and ballroom are perfect for receptions and the food and service were great! Fred was constantly in communication with us throughout the planning process and was prompt in answering emails, questions and accommodating our requests. He went above and beyond our expectations to ensure the wedding ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. Thank you Fred!! Our wedding was perfect thanks to you!

    Perfect outdoor wedding!

    Oh my goodness! We had our wedding and rehearsal dinner at Ancala Country Club, and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and the venue itself is stunning—beautiful views, perfect outdoor space and amazing weather. Our guests still can’t stop talking about the delicious food!! I high recommend the taco night for rehearsal dinner & duet plate for the wedding! Anna was an absolute dream to work with and answered my many emails and phone calls! The team made our wedding day stress-free, and the rehearsal dinner was equally memorable.

    Great Venue for a great evening

    We held our annual high school football end of season event at The Ancala Golf Club this year and it was great. The club is beautifully decorated, the room was large enough to accommodate us all and also felt small enough to make it cozy and the staff was very friendly and professional. We looked at other venues across the valley but Ancala was the best one to accommodate for our needs and fit in to our budget. We had an Italian dinner buffet which was delicious. They even allowed an accommodation to bring in our own desserts so we could proudly display cookies by one of our season sponsors. Anna and Jodee were absolutely wonderful to work with and made sure our event flowed smoothly and everyone had a great time.

    Better than I could have asked for

    The most wonderful experience!! From pictures, to a private ceremony and dinner in the wine room, I could not have asked for a better evening at a more beautiful location. Stephanie Smith was my contact and absolutely went so far above and beyond to help me. She responded to me late at night on Sunday’s, on super short notice and really was so attentive to my every request, no matter how many times things changed. The wine room is beautiful and perfect for what we needed, dinner for 14 comfortably. The food was fantastic and of course our server was amazing, she was so patient with us despite the room being a little chaotic given how many of us there were. Thank you to EVERYONE at Ancala that helped to make our evening so special, we are unbelievably grateful your service and attention.

    A spectacular wedding!

    Ancala was a perfect choice for our wedding! Beautiful location with amazing views. The prices were great on top of that. Amy and Juan were a pleasure to work with as they were precise, helpful, reassuring, and overall very present in our planning processes as well as the wedding! Things went super smoothly and we had no doubts. Even during slight inconveniences and issues, such as a windy day, mind changes, etc., they knew what to do. Everything was easy to follow and handle with Ancala by our side. We're super grateful and would 100% recommend choosing Ancala as your wedding venue!
