  Wonderful Wedding Venue

  Desert Foothills Events was the perfect wedding venue and working with Lisa and Amber was a great experience for all involved. Lisa and Amber were very professional, helpful, gave timely responses to all questions and made the entire wedding planning process go smoothly. They made you feel like you were important to them and they wanted to make your wedding experience special. They went over every detail and what to expect the day of the wedding. On the wedding day they were so kind and willing to help in anyway needed. The entire staff from servers to bar tenders were great to work with, very professional. All the details were handled and that allowed the family of the bride and groom to enjoy the celebration! I highly recommend Desert Foothills Events, and especially Lisa and Amber.

  Dream Arizona Wedding

  Desert Foothills was a dream! Lisa was so kind, patient and accommodating, answering every question we had. They were so easy to work with and referred us to our wonderful wedding planner and caterer, Bobby Q's. It's a special place and feels more remote than it is :) All the guests were blown away by the magical setting.

  The perfect setting for our desert wedding

  We have had so many commitments on our wedding. Many people saying is it one of the best, if not the best, weddings they have been to. We utilized every area of the space and it made for a great laid back setting. We opted for to have a beer burro deliver beers to our guests during cocktail hour and to take full advantage of the firepits with a s'mores bar instead of wedding cake. Both were huge hits.
  The staff was fantastic and so easy to work with. They helped a ton with all the chaos that comes along with a wedding day. Great vendor option.

  Perfect Wedding

  This venue was a dream come true. As 2 “Creekers” we had no idea this venue existed but it was absolutely perfect. Lisa was SO helpful and accommodating. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and didn’t have a single issue that I’m aware of. It was everything I had ever dreamt of and more.

  We definitely had our dream wedding at Desert Foothills! This was the second venue we visited, and we scoured the rest of the Valley for something similar for months afterward (exploring different budget options, etc.), but ultimately realized that there was no other venue quite like it, and it was also within our budget (and competitive pricing) for what it offered.
  
  It is a family-operated venue, and Lisa and Courtney were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They were very responsive to every question we had, and quite knowledgeable and provided great suggestions and advice (especially because we were planning our own wedding and did not have a coordinator). The options for the venue allow a great amount of customization (anything from picnic tables to fancy chairs to farm tables), and the venue is absolutely beautiful. It rained on our wedding day, and they made adjustments (for our outside accommodations) smoothly and automatically.
  
  It was quite honestly the perfect venue for our wedding, and is located in beautiful Arizona desert, which was the main thing we were looking for!

  This is the perfect venue! We had the best rustic wedding at Desert Foothills, from the beautiful barn decor, the stunning lights inside the barn and the warm fire pits you will not be disappointed! I would not have changed a thing and am so grateful to of found such a ravishing place. Lisa and her daughter were extremely helpful with suggestions and any questions we may of had.

  My experience with Desert Foothills was truly exceptional!! The moment I saw the venue I knew it was perfect for us. The venue provided us with so many different options to make our ceremony and reception truly unique. I loved the open space, the ability to bring in your own vendors and the beautiful desert scenery. My husband and I received so many compliments during our reception on what a "perfect venue" this was. Beyond the perfect venue was the perfect venue coordinator, Lisa. She was outstanding from the moment I reached out and showed interest. She was so incredibly helpful, I really don't know what I would have done without her. I feel like she went above and beyond to answer my endless questions and requests. I had so many questions, many times sending her multiple emails a day throughout my year engagement and she was so prompt and thorough with every answer. She was incredibly helpful in giving me resources for decorations and advice in areas that I was unsure about. She even let us borrow 10 champagne glasses that she had so we didn't have to buy any! She truly was great and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. The venue has so many options for tables, chairs, etc., that you can truly customize everything to fit you and your style. In addition, we went with the in-house caterer, Bobby Q, and we are so glad we did that. The food fit the venue perfectly and was unbelievably delicious. Again, we did not stop hearing compliments from guests on the food! I am so thankful to have found this venue and Lisa!

  Kim and Lisa are AMAZING! I know there were a few other people that we worked with that I am leaving out but everyone there was absolutely fabulous. They were such a pleasure to work with and extremely accommodating. Our wedding day was everything and more than what we could ever expect all thanks to all of their suggestions and help. It was literally perfect and I know all of our guests were in awe of the venue and decor. We have received so many compliments from people about our venue and how unique the barn was...we were worried about dust but it really wasn't an issue at all. We worked with Kim mainly but they both were so prompt in answering so so many questions for me which was crucial because we were planning from afar. They are truly every brides dream to work with! They come highly recommended as well as the venue, they are pro's at this...it was so special to us and truly a unique place to get married! Thank you so much!

  Beautiful and unique venue, was perfect for a vintage rustic wedding. This barn in the desert sets a backdrop like no other and the space is endless. We had guests floored with how beautiful our wedding was. Lisa is very flexible and helps accommodate your personal take!

  This venue is stunning! By far the most unique place to have our wedding. Lisa and Courtney were so wonderful to work with, helping in every aspect they could to make the day come together and run smoothly. They were so flexible to allow us to tour the venue as many times as we needed to get a feel for decor layouts and such. She was easily accessible via email or by phone for any of our questions during the planning process and truly felt like they became wonderful family friends! They have such a beautiful property, all of our guests were so blown away by how beautiful and unique the whole experience of the night was! You really have such freedom to make the whole evening your own and they were so easy to work with! We made all of our decorations and she was so helpful in allowing us to come the night before to deliver everything and allowed for us to be on the property setting up super early the day of so we weren't stressed for time at all. They go through Classic Party Rentals for all tables/chairs/linens/etc. who were so great to work with as well! There are SO many great options and they really do take care of it all in such a professional way! Lisa and Courtney really care about making your big day so special and as "easy" as possible, lending a hand if you need it for anything. I highly recommend this venue for any event!! You will be blown away and so will your guests!

  Desert Foothills is a truly unique wedding venue in Scottsdale, AZ. My husband and I are native Arizonians so we wanted to get married with the Arizona landscape in the background. Desert Foothills provided that for us. Lisa and Courtney at Desert Foothills were great to work with and helped us plan a wonderful wedding. They were flexible and accommodating to all of our needs.
  The pros at this venue:
  Flexibility: You can bring in your own vendors and catering!
  Great scenery: The venue is a barn in the desert
  Pros: It is a rustic venue so there is no a/c (however since the venue is in the low desert it is typically much cooler than the city)
  Overall, we are very happy we choose Desert Foothills as our wedding venue and recommend it!

  Perfect venue for WI meets AZ wedding. Grounds lit w/white lights, lanterns, & firepits. Gorgeous! Lisa is a gem to work with.-Professional, organized, available, incredibly PATIENT!
  House caterer/food was outstanding. Only complaint: #'s of attendees needed to be given 2 wks in advance; most caterers require 48 hours. Quite a few last minute cancels = a lot of $ wasted on empty plates.
  Used bottled beer vs kegs as cocktail hr began at 4:30 and there is no ice until 3. Keg wouldn't have been cold (we had nothing to set it in nor does venue) but bottles were ready. Bartenders were friendly. We had red dinner wine already poured; otherwise there is a charge. Also a charge to rent AC for barn which we did.
  While I was doing hair/makeup, friends were at venue decorating/preparing at 10am. When they arrived, it was discovered there was no power! My hubby (who works in AV industry) in charge of getting reception band set up/sound checked. Best man (also AV) in charge of computer, speakers, projector, for slide show we planned to play as people filtered in for dinner. Another friend (AV & band musician) was to set up computer, speakers, mics, recording equip for ceremony. None of this could be done.
  Luckily music worked out for ceremony. Pictures were post-ceremony, so nothing else got done on time. Slideshow started 20 mins late by time best man could break away from photog, hence dinner/reception behind schedule. After dinner/dessert, my husband set up sound board/band, which takes a WHILE, while everyone awkwardly stood around. Venue can only be rented for 6 hrs, so time was ticking.
  Band we pd a lot of $ for didn't even finish 1 set.-We had 2 hrs set aside to prepare and it didn't happen because we were not aware that electricity doesn't get turned on until afternoon hrs. I wish someone had told us at our rehearsal as this faux pas made our evening, especially for my poor husband, really stressful. Love the venue, make sure you are aware of "little" details.
