Everything from the planning process to the big day was thorough and precise to our liking. The coordinator, DJ, food, even decorations was perfect. I love the spacious reception ball room and the modern look of the venue. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how perfect the wedding was. Thank you so much for making it possible! -

Kellie G. Sent on 08/22/2022Stop your search… the perfect wedding venue is here!
This should be THE venue for all future couples to use for their wedding day! To try and summarize how perfect the team is, here are a few shoutouts:
Ariel was the best day of coordinator a bride could ask for! She makes me want to have a wedding every year just so we can work together again.
Jesse was great at bar service! He executed perfect drinks every time and was extremely personable.
Aaron was incredible as a server! She made sure the wedding party/b+g was able to snack while preparing for the grand entrance, which was appreciated more than anyone could know, lol.
Emmalee and Haven were wonderful after Ariel’s shift ended. They made sure to take care of us and were exceptional!
Chef Monica created an extraordinary array of food that makes me wish I could have dinner cooked by her and her team every night!
The included florist (Shelli @ In Bloom) and DJ (Mike @ Direct Sounds) were fabulous and made the day complete!
Mikayla was astounding and answered every question I had in a timely manner in addition to being patient with changes I made throughout the process.
Another shoutout to all the employees and the venue as a whole for helping to make my wedding day perfect.
The venue itself is so clean and accommodating. The waterfalls sold me instantly but the team is what made me stay 💜 -

Talk about an all inclusive wedding venue and how much stress is taken off your plate. Liberty and Makayla both have been exceptional from day 1! They are always available to contact, they get back to you the same day and are on top of everything! I cannot put into words how grateful my husband and I are to the Colby Falls team. From their exceptional customer service, beautiful venue and location, amazing food and drinks to overall atmosphere they have it all.
What helped me out was that they had photographer, florist, dj, phot booth and cake vendors that they have worked with that it made my life 100% easier to contact them and utilize their connection. Plus with them working with these vendors, they already knew the team at Colby Falls so they all contacted each other and I didn't have to micromanage anything! Do you know how much that helps a bride who's planning her wedding on her own??
All of our wedding guests came in from out of town and everyone loved the venue, food, drinks and location. I am beyond happy. -

Colby Falls was the MOST PERFECT FABULOUS place to pick as my wedding venue! Their Wedding Planners are OUTSTANDING and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. They know how to work WITH you in planning your dream wedding! I got an amazing deal and it was WELL WORTH every penny!! I was so impressed with them, from the first look at their website, to the very first phone call inquiring about their facility, to my first appointment. I worked with Liberty and Mikayla, AMAZING planners. They BOTH made my life so EASY, just a breeze! With their helped, I didn't feel overwhelmed or panicked about ANYTHING! When I was concerned about anything, no matter how small it was, they ALWAYS helped me through it or came up with the PERFECT solution! Planning my wedding with them, made my life so so much EASIER. Leah is another WONDERFUL person that helped. The day before the wedding, there were problems with my when deliveries being late. Leah was very pleasant, kind, and comforting to me. I was EXTREMELY anxious. She came up with the PERFECT solution! The wedding decorations were EXACTLY what I wanted!! FABULOUS! I got sick the day of the wedding. Liberty SAVED THE DAY!! SHE, Leah, and their team turned what could've been a DISASTER into the MOST GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL wedding ever!! She stepped up in ways I never ever expected! She helped me get through that day in a professional, classy, and non-judgmental way. She or Leah NEVER made me feel bad or embarrassed for being sick. They WERE TRUE professionals, even under any stress my illness caused to my wedding day. If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I would DEFINITELY want them to help me, hands down! Liberty and her team were there for us right down to the very last minute. I look at my photos and see how PERFECT that day ended for us! Liberty, THANK YOU for all your hard work with the planning and that day! Mikayla, THANK YOU for all your hard work with the planning! Leah, THANK YOU for all your hard work with making the venue look so GORGEOUS. Liberty & Mikayla, I know I was very detailed/picky, but you BOTH worked with me so generously and graciously!! Thanks so very much! -

Chelsea B. Sent on 02/12/2021Liberty is the best Wedding Planner!
Liberty and her team at Colby Falls are the best crew you could imagine when planning and executing your special day. Liberty was on top of everything from the first day we toured the venue to the day of and day after the event. Everything went exactly as planned. Liberty was always available via phone or email to answer any questions we had. She was very prompt and flexible adjusting things to make the day just as we envisioned.
The decor was perfect! The food and drinks were amazing, and the day of staff were also perfect. All the guests raved about how awesome the bartender was for the wedding. The package price for what we got was incredible! I would host another event here in the future no questions asked!
The flowers turned out perfect. We really enjoyed working with In Bloom floral.
I would recommend using your own DJ even if doing one of the packages. This was the only thing I would change! His communication was terrible, and his attitude the day of the wedding was even worse. He failed to provide the music list as promised. He was incredibly difficult to get ahold of. He did not play our must have songs, and cut off our favorite one in the middle of it. He also left out the money dance, which we were incredibly bummed about. Do not use Gary Alan at Direct Sounds. I would give him zero stars. -

It's a beautiful place for a wedding. Our guests and us really liked it. It's easy to decorate. The staff is great, they assisted us whenever we needed help. They have a great list of wedding vendors and that was really helpful. -

My son got married at Colby Falls in Gilbert on 9/3. I own a production company so I provided all of the decor, and audio visual elements for the wedding. I would like to share the pros and cons of booking at this venue for any potential couples to consider.
The venue let us basically take over the ball room area. I brought in a live band with full production including back-line, lights, and PA. I also brought in a LED Video wall, and a 8x16 foot hedge wall, which I broke into 3 sections for signage and a selfie station. They had no problem with us setting up this much production. I created all of the centerpieces for the tables in the main ballroom and the cocktail hour, and the backdrop for the alter and sweet heart table. I assume knowing that I myself was setting all of this up along with a team of people I hired was why I had very little help from the onsite event coordinators. They were kind to let us load in and begin set up the day before the Sunday wedding. They let us know at final payment, 10 days out, whether or not we could set up early. The official standard timeline given to us by the venue for set up was initially an hour & a half. This is not enough time at all if you have anything other than centerpieces. We were grateful for the extra time they gave us, but it was still a mad rush. Each time I needed anything from the venue I had to find the event coordinator. They were giving tours all day to potential couples while we were setting up for our wedding to begin that evening. All the tours stopped & asked me questions about the venue; this took up my time and it was kinda awkward having strangers wander through.
I had a delivery come from the bakery. Before they arrived I needed all the stands for the dessert table to be sanitized. I was told by the event coordinator on site the banquet captain would be in, and she would clean and set up the dessert table. This did not happen. My friend I hired handled the entire dessert table when she couldn't find the banquet captain, & eventually got the EC to help her. If I didn't have my own person, I don't know what would have happened.
All of the white chairs in the reception/main ballroom were dirty. My team went around with Clorox wipes before the reception and cleaned all the chairs. Thank goodness. The wood floor needed to be cleaned, but there was nothing I could do by the time I realized the onsite crew was not going to clean the floors. When I did my initial walk through I was told the tables were not finished, but nothing other than water glasses wer ever added to the place settings. I understand there were certain aspects the bride didn't order from the venue, but it was still never touched up, expect by my own crew.
I was able to bring in beer to be served by the bartenders for the picky drinkers, since the open bar does not include any specialty beer. I gave very detailed instruction on this beer. I was trying to save myself the headache of my mother asking me where the "good beer" was. Instead I wanted to surprise her when she asked for it, that we got it for her. This did not happen, & the first thing I heard after I took the family photos and entered cocktail hour, was "where is the good beer?" from my mother. Fail. I was so sad. I advance every detail to avoid moments like this.
This brings me back to the playlist for cocktail hour. My son was very particular on the playlist and spent months curating each song to be played in a specific order and emailed it to the DJ after his phone conversation. When the playlist was not being played one of the people I hired came to me and said the DJ said he was told "DJ's choice of 90's grunge." This was 100% not the case. I told my husband, who was trying to do a million other things, the DJ said he does not have our playlist, and by the time they were able to interface it was time for the grand entrance. Again, a failure on something that was completely advanced.
Next, the lighting set in the main ballroom was way to bright. I asked over and over to get it turned down. The room was supposed to be moody. Every table had several flame-less candles. We also provided uplighting around the room. I could never get the lights overhead turned down which killed the mood I was trying to set.
The main thing potential couples need to keep in mind is the Event Coordinator leaves at dinner service. She said the banquet captain would take over but I never met this person. The DJ flew through our timeline, & I even missed the cake cutting. As the mother of the groom this was a huge bummer obviously. Hire your own DJ, hire your own EC and hire a team or have friends/family help coordinate. Consider you are renting a clean slate & build from there. The one big thing the onsite EC did was line up the procession for the rehearsal & the ceremony. She was pleasant, but I had to hunt her down when I needed things. The food was good. The bathrooms were nice. Guest seemed to have a good time.
