Amazing Day
Our wedding at Gold Canyon was absolutely amazing. I could not have imagined it any better. The majority of our guests were coming from out of state and they really enjoyed the hotel, the grounds, and that many of them received upgraded rooms. The scenery is unbeatable and our wedding photos are turning out amazing. The staff was so great and helpful the night of. We worked with Charlene very closely throughout the whole planning and she was always incredibly responsive and helpful. Many people told us weddings were very stressful, however, with this team we were able to really enjoy the lead up to the wedding and really had a perfect wedding. We would highly recommend Gold Canyon to any couple. -

Amazing Venue & Desert Views!
Our experience with Gold Canyon Golf Resort & Spa was amazing! Charlene (the Director of Catering & Special Events) was also amazing to work with as well. We also had her as our wedding coordinator and she made sure timing with our schedule was efficient and she was very communicative the day of and prior to the wedding with planning.
We had minimal decor because the views and “environments” of the venue speak for themselves. Multiple guests also commended how beautiful the venue was.
Overall, we had a great and smooth experience working with this venue. Would definitely recommend!-

Maggie & Kyle’s Incredible Wedding Venue!!!
Gold Canyon Resort was a spectacular venue for celebrating one of the most special days in our lives: MAGGIE & KYLE’S WEDDING!!!
Everything was spectacular thanks to Charlene and her magnificent event planning! ALL of our families felt the wedding bliss as we ventured into each event and shared in the LOVE, Views and Elegant layout of the space created by Gold Canyon Resort! As MOB, I had elevated expectations, and they were all met above and beyond any imagination.
With VERY warm regards, I recommend GCR as one of the most exquisite venues to share and glow in the magic of wedding celebrations & joy filled hearts! Thank you GCR for making our dreams come true! MOB, patsy-

From States Away to Seamless Wedding Day
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Charlene! Planning a wedding from out of state felt overwhelming at first, but she made every step of the process smooth, organized, and stress-free. Her communication was incredible — always responsive, reassuring, and on top of every detail, even from hundreds of miles away.
On the big day, she was the calm in the chaos, coordinating vendors, keeping us on schedule, and handling every little hiccup before we even noticed. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we owe so much of that to Charlene. If you’re planning from afar (or even nearby!), do yourself a favor and hire her — she’s a dream to work with.Gold Canyon Golf Resort's reply:
Wow, thank you!!! You two were a dream to work with as well. It was a fabulous wedding! Best wishes, and thank you for having trust in me. -

Our Dream Wedding Venue!
We got married here in April of 2025 and had an amazing experience! We loved the all inclusive packaging they had to offer while also the flexibility to customize the space. The views at this venue are also breathtaking and we are obsessed with how all of our photos turned out. All of the food was also amazing and we received many compliments after the wedding from guests too. We also loved being able to stay at the hotel with all of our families and friends and the option to have an after party up in the hotel restaurant was icing on the cake. We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else!

Highly recommend!
We just had our wedding 4/11/25 and it was the most magical day! Charlene the event coordinator for the venue was amazing. She made sure our day went smoothly and stayed on track. The best part was we were able to have our pup be a part of our special day, and Charlene made sure our sweet Pearl was taking care of! We had so many complaints on how great the food and service was. Really the best value for your money and the views were stunning!Gold Canyon Golf Resort's reply:
Pearl was indeed a Pearl!! We loved her! We loved working with the two of you as well. It was a fabulous day and I can't wait to see your photos. They are going to be gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing the most important day of your life with us. It was a pleasure! -

Perfect Wedding Day
I don’t even know where to begin on explaining how PERFECT our wedding day was. The views of the Superstition Mountains were breathtaking in the backdrop of our ceremony. We did some hiking the day before on the trail behind the resort which was great. Rehearsal dinner and welcome party was amazing on site. So convenient for us and guests staying there. From the start Gold Canyon provided all the essentials from chairs, tables, linens, silverware, plates, place settings, down to the votive vases for our tables. So much stress taken off the bride with the venue providing so much! The food was EXCELLENT, guests raved about the wedding meal( filet, and chicken). Guest even raved about the main restaurants meals since some came in a couple days before the wedding. And I completely agree. Delicious food and amazing service all around from all of the staff. Everyone had prepared me to expect mishaps and little road bumps on the day of, but there were NONE! The day was perfect and I have Charlene to thank for that. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Charlene, our day of coordinator. Throughout the whole year of planning she was very responsive and took care of our every request and need. The day of went flawlessly because of Charlene’s experience with the venue and she is just brilliant! She has such a calming manor and helped ease my stress as she took care of everything. She arrived at the bridal suite on the morning of to collect all my items for the venue and had everything set up for the evening which looked beautiful once I got to step foot in the reception hall. She carted us around with our photographers for sunset pictures and knows all the perfect spots for gorgeous photos in the desert landscape. She even snapped some beautiful candid photos along the way for us! She is the most sweet, organized, talented, calm, and hard working coordinator there is! 100/10 recommend having your perfect wedding day at Gold Canyon Golf Resort and Spa :)-

Better than we could have imagined!
Our wedding at Gold Canyon Golf Resort was an absolute dream! The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly made our experience amazing was how easy and seamless everything was from start to finish. Charlene was incredible—so organized, attentive, and truly dedicated to bringing our vision to life. She made sure every detail was perfect and kept everything running smoothly throughout our entire wedding weekend. Our welcome party had to be moved to a different location last minute due to rain and the team did a great job making the restaurant prefect for our party. We felt so taken care of, and it allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. I would highly recommend!-

Rodriguez’s 2025
This venue was not on my list or my radar. I knew I did not want to get married on a golf course, however, my sister and I were in between venue appointments and needed to kill time. She googled venues near us and Gold Canyon Golf Resort popped up. It was completely a “one off.” We did not make an appointment or even call, just showed up.
Charlene, the Event Coordinator, greeted us and whipped us around on her golf cart, showing us the venue, and provided us tons of helpful information for the planning process. She was so honest and knowledgeable in all things wedding. With her quick wit, amazing sense of humor and kindness, as well as the gorgeous venue, I was sold. She made my first impression so memorable.
Charlene was always available, answered my 1000’s of questions without delay and truly made the entire process so much more enjoyable. We could not have done this without her. I truly appreciate all of her guidance and expertise.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning with the views of Superstition mountain. I chose the lower location because I wanted less view of the golf course. I kept it simple with fresh flowers because I wanted the view.
Charlene and the staff did an amazing job of keeping everything so seamless and beautiful. I have zero complaints and nothing but praise for all the efforts made to ensure our wedding was the best day ever.
I absolutely loved the “staycation” feel about this venue and opted to have rehearsal & dinner, as well as brunch, onsite. The food was delicious. The service was efficient. The flow of the event space was perfect. So many locations for photographs. Bistro lights made the space light up at night. The accessibility was great. The set up and break down of decor as well as pick up was outstanding and accommodating.
Nicole, Sales Manager, did an outstanding job of coordinating and accommodating all the room reservations for wedding party as well as all guests. Transportation around the venue for wedding party and all guests via golf cart was provided, and very much appreciated.
Overall, I 100% would recommend celebrating your wedding at Gold Canyon Golf Resort. The venue and staff exceeded all expectations.
Thank you for everything.
We love you Charlene!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10/10 experience!
Me and my husband got married here on March 2nd and it was perfection. Charlene is their wedding planner and she was such a joy to work with and made our day (and leading up to it) seamless. She was such a joy to work with the! The bridal suit was big and beautiful! But the venue was so perfect and also views of the Superstition Mountains 👌 when it was time for me and my husband to take pictures, Charlene drove us around to the most beautiful spots around the golf course. It was such a magical night. They also offered discounted rooms for guests.-

Amazing location, awesome resort, and great team!
Not only are the views incredible, but the level of service was excellent! Charlene was our wedding coordinator at Gold Canyon Resort and was absolutely awesome! She was incredibly organized, fun and easy to work with, and highly experienced. She helped make the planning process as smooth as possible and took great care of us on our big day. She’s also a huge dog lover and paid special attention to our pup who joined us for all our wedding festivities. Highly recommend planning a wedding at Gold Canyon with Charlene at your side!Gold Canyon Golf Resort's reply:

I am from Illinois & decided on a destination wedding in Arizona! Charlene was amazing & not only helped with the venue details but also killed it as the day of coordinator! I loved zooming around in the golf cart & she made sure we were happy during the entire experience. I wish we could do it all over again because it was perfect from start to finish. Can't wait to visit this resort for our anniversary-

Best Wedding Decision You'll Make
For an out of town bride, I was really concerned about planning and keeping all the details together. I went with the wedding package and all the recommended vendors at Gold Canyon Golf Resort, and I regretted not a thing. Everything turned out so perfect with almost no involvement from me - I can't stress how much it meant to me to have a stress free wedding! I feel like I breezed through the day, and was allowed to just appreciate marrying my husband and being in the moment. We just brought all our favors/programs/signage/decor and Robert took care of the rest. Everything ran so smoothly. We had a combination of out of town and in town guests and almost everyone stayed in the rooms and loved the facility so much. The food was amazing, the staff was warm and welcoming. My bridesmaids (six of them) and myself got our hair and make up done at the spa, and they did such a fantastic job. For someone who shies away from make-up for the day to day, I can't stress how great of a job Kat did in making me comfortable and making me up to be both the glamorous bride but also leave it natural enough that I felt like myself!
My fiance and I had gone to multiple wedding venue tours including several in Phoenix. Several of the wedding coordinators were cold, haughty, late to the appointment, or worse. Charlene, who was our wedding coordinator before the day of was responsive. We connected right away when we first met her because it was clear she was both incredibly capable and experienced with weddings, and really loved her job. She was a pleasure to work with throughout. Unfortunately, she was unavailable to coordinate on the day of our wedding, but we had a seamless pass-off to the Catering Manager, Robert, who was seriously the best. He was so adept at making our guests comfortable and welcome and making sure our wedding went off without hitch. Honestly can't say that I had to be asked even ONE question my entire wedding night and absolutely got to enjoy the moment! -

The entire staff at Gold Canyon was so wonderful in making sure our weddng weekend was beautiful and fun for all our guests. The food was incredible for both our sit down rehearsal dinner and our morning wedding reception buffet. Our guests remarked the dessert was the most amazing they've ever had (and they've had more than a few in many places!). Robert made the planning process very easy and enjoyable.The spectacular backdrops every where you look, top notch service, fabulous food - and awesome golf make Gold Canyon Golf Resort an easy choice. We highly recommend it for any special event! -

Outstanding on all levels is the only way to describe our wedding and reception at Gold Canyon Golf Resort. Everything was perfect from beginning to end thanks to Robert Manger and Nicole Walker. Our wedding ceremony was held at the Flat Iron outside area with the beautiful Superstition Mountains in the background and our reception was held at the Resort Pavilion outside area just west of the lobby and restaurant.
Everyone at the resort was very helpful and accommodating for our special requests and changes that needed to be made to our menu and guest list which made our wedding and reception even more special.
We had 30 people attend our wedding and about 15 resort rooms for our guests. All of our family and friends stayed at the resort. Most of our guests stayed 2 nights and enjoyed several meals at the resort including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of our guests also used the Salon and Spa and were very happy with the services at the Spa. The rooms at the resort have a nice design and are very spacious compared to other resort rooms we have seen. All of our family and guests made several comments to us about how pleased they were with the quality of the food and how nice everything was at Gold Canyon Golf Resort.
We were also happy to have a hiking area close to the resort for a short hike in the beautiful Superstition Mountains which was something our out of town guests really enjoyed.
The pricing at Gold Canyon Golf Resort was very reasonable for the level of service and quality of the food and facilities. We couldn't have made a better choice for our wedding and reception and we plan to come back to stay at Gold Canyon Golf Resort for a special weekend or to enjoy a special dinner.
We would definitely recommend Gold Canyon Golf Resort to anyone for any event if you are looking for a great value with outstanding food and comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting.

My husband and I truly loved the wedding experience at Gold Canyon Golf Resort. They are very flexible and take great care of their customers. My wedding site was gorgeous. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Their staff is amazing! We received the very best care from Robert all the way down to the young men escorting us around their campus on golf carts. I still cannot believe that I left my bows on the chairs and in the dark, with his flashlight on his phone, Robert went and got all my bows for me. What quality service!! I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone! They are fabulous!!Gold Canyon Golf Resort's reply:
Lauren,
We appreciate you choosing us to help you with your big day, and then taking the time to review about it! We understand that a wedding day can be one of the most important days of a couples lives, and our staff is trained to treat it as their own.

We had our wedding at Gold Canyon Golf Resort in April. It was an amazing experience. Robert and Tracy were both very professional and a pleasure to work with. They answered all our questions and did a great job making sure everyone and everything was in place on the wedding day. The entire night ran smooth with no major hiccups. Also, the price for the venue is a great deal! We had a ton of space, which was in a private section of the resort, and the food was awesome! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to get married. -

We hosted my sons rehearsal dinner here and had friends stay in about 35guest rooms. Robert, catering and event manager, and Nicole W, group hotel sales manager, were both great- efficient, effective, professional and nice! Brides family hosted wedding ceremony and it was lovely. A bit of a drive from central phoenix, but worth it. Lovely setting at a reasonable price. Great choice for a wedding weekend. -

June (the wedding coordinator) did an absolutely outstanding job for my wedding!! She was able to accommodate my needs and my wants and was there every step of the way to make sure my day ran very smoothly. She went above and beyond to help me with set up and doing little jobs that i would request. The site was absolutely gorgeous. The space they have for a reception is breathtaking. One of the most beautiful sites I have seen with a scenic mountain view. The food was also FABULOUS!! Everyone raved about how good it was. overall I would recommend Gold Canyon Golf Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful venue. -

Written below is the letter I sent to Gold Canyon Golf Resort after my daughters wedding on December 11, 2010 : )
Jason Bracamonte
Director of Food and Beverage
Gold Canyon Golf Resort
6100 S Kings Ranch Road
Gold Canyon, AZ 85118
Dear Mr. Bracamonte,
I wanted to write you a letter to express our thanks and gratitude for such a beautiful wedding for our daughter Mandi and her new husband Preston on December 11, 2010.
We met June Tortorella for the first time while visiting Superstition Views last July while trying to decide on our venue. From the very beginning June reached out to my daughter and I, and put us at ease. The very next day I drove out to tour the property and put my deposit down.
During the next several months our guest list went from 150 to over 200. I was in a sheer panic!! Not so much for the amount of people, but could Gold Canyon Golf Resort pull it off? June continued to assure me that the wedding would be beautiful, and continued to answer my phone calls, my constant emails, and meet with me whenever I needed to ask questions. I cannot even tell you how many times she went out of her way to open up the tent, explain where things would be placed and convince me that things would be great.
One of the nicest things June did, was the week before the wedding she came out to the resort “on her day off” to escort myself and my photographer to the ceremony site (Flat Iron), showed us an open suite that the bride would be using, and again opened up the tent to give my photographer the visual that he needed.
The wedding was absolutely beautiful! More beautiful than I even imagined! The food was absolutely delicious, the service superb, and the experience unforgettable.
I would also like to acknowledge Rizalde Sherwood as he was also great at relieving my fears, and did a beautiful set up with the tent.
You have a great employee with June Tortorella. If she had not reached out to me with all of her willingness to help, I may have kept looking. June is a great asset to Gold Canyon Golf Resort and I wanted you to know how much we appreciate all that she did for us!
Thank you for everything! I will definitely let people know how wonderful our experience was with your beautiful property!

Rob was phenomenal at our wedding! I truly had a wonderful experience. My sister-in-law had just had 4 teeth removed and couldn't eat the food we had ordered, so the staff actually took a special order just for her so she could have something to eat (mash potatoes and soup)! Everyone commented how wonderful the staff was and how effortless it was.
I am so thankful we went with such a wonderful site, with wonderful people to help us in our big day! -

Beautiful outdoor wedding
We had our wedding Oct. 13th 2018 and we couldn't have picked a more perfect venue! Robert was very easy to work with and worked with us the whole time. With the package we purchased include the cake, DJ and most of the flowers. It also included a night stay and open bar for beer and wine. They provided the vendors to us, which made it easy. We were told we can find different vendors if we preferred as well, but ending up going with their recommendation. We also decided to stay an extra night and got massage in the spa, which was very relaxing.
On the day of the wedding, it was raining all day long. We were nervous about not being able to do the wedding outside. To allow us to make the decision as close to the time of the wedding as possible, Robert set up the chairs and everything both inside and outside so we just had to move the decoration when we decided on what to do. Luckily, we were able to do it outside and it was gorgeous outside! The mountain behind is beautiful when the sun hits it, which was right during our ceremony. Everyone kept telling use how beautiful it was. During the wedding, everything went smooth and there was no issues that came up. Robert also let us leave the some of decoration in the reception area over night and we picked them up the next morning that way we didn't have to hurry up and clean after the long day.
We also did out rehearsal dinner here as well. We decided to invite the guest that were stay at the resort to come to dinner so we had about 50 people. The dinner worked out great. We order pizza from their kitchen which were delicious. The food come out promptly and no one left hungry.
The only issues we had were with the rehearsal and getting my and my bridesmaids down to the ceremony location. For our rehearsal, there was a last minute wedding that was booked for a ceremony only and was set to start when our rehearsal was done. Unfortunately, this made us feel like we had to rush because their guest were arriving. We were still able to get through the rehearsal, but wished we knew about this wedding so we can have moved our rehearsal up or back. To get me down the ceremony, we didn't realize that we had to call to get someone to pick us up. When we called to get picked up, it was about 20 mins or so before the wedding and people saw me and my bridesmaids going down since we were in a golf cart. However, the official decision to have the wedding outside was made 30 mins before the wedding was suppose to start. I believe this was why there was miscommunication because everyone by the ceremony, including Robert, was working on getting that ready fast. Even with those few issues, we had a great wedding and are very happy with the service we received and the venue we selected! Definitely recommend using this venue! -

Beautiful setting and great resort for out of town guest to stay. Early in planning, somtimes calls were not returned promptly. But as wedding day approached everything went well. Any problems or concerns we had were addressed and taken care of. The Spa was great for hair and nails. Some of our guests had massages and played golf. We had a rehearsal lunch in the restaurant. The wedding was outside and the reception in the tent. Everything was great!! The food, wait staff, and wedding co-ordinator were all wonderful. Would highly recomend. -

The location is BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to see all of my pictures! If you are looking for an outdoor location, this should be at the top of your list to look at. The only difficulty was after the ceremony we were going to do photographs, we had a hard time finding a golf cart with enough battery power to find different locations for photo spots. It very well could've been a fluke situation, but it was a stressful moment when we weren't sure how far we could go for pictures. It all worked out though and we got to hit up all of the photo opportunities. If you are looking for an east valley location... or willing to travel... this is elegant, beautiful and absolutely breath taking! -

We used Gold Canyon Golf Resort for the ceremony site and cocktail hour. It was a little pricey for the minimum amount of time spent there, but the manager was helpful throughout the process. We ended up getting exactly what we wanted, despite our somewhat non-traditional request (cocktail hour before the ceremony!). The views of the Superstition Mountains from the first fairway were amazing and worth the expense. -

We used Gold Canyon for our accommodations for our wedding at the Paseo, a couple miles away. The rooms were very pricey and a little outdated but outside of that I have nothing but good things to say. The staff was outstanding!!! They were so flexible and understanding and helpful. They allowed us to check in to our honeymoon suite at 8am in order to use the room to get ready the day of. My grandmother was originally checked into a room but found it too difficult to get to (the rooms are on hills and can be twisty and unsteady for elderly). The staff moved her immediately into a more accommodating room. My wife and I booked a couples massage for the day after and both the ladies were phenomenal!Gold Canyon Golf Resort's reply:
Elana,
We would like to express our gratitude towards you for choosing us to accommodate your friends and family. Keeping everyone together and removing as much stress as possible for you and your guests is our ultimate goal, and we are thrilled to hear that your special day was fantastic. -

There was a different gentleman handling the catering and events department who had been in the business for years. About 6 months out, we found out he had left and that a new person had taken over. It was a little rocky and stressful because it seemed as though no one knew what we had planned for our ceremony and reception (although we had taken notes with the previous planner). Overall, it ended up going smoothly. Staff was very courteous and friendly. Many of our guests were from out of town so it was nice to be able to have everything in one spot (and save money for the guests!). -

great venue with some issues
We recently had our wedding at Gold Canyon golf resort. Although our wedding turned out beautiful and mostly ran smoothly, we had quite a rough time leading up to the event with the coordinator Charlene. We rarely write a review for anything however we felt it was necessary this time. To be clear, the venue and the setting were beautiful and most of the staff were wonderful and friendly. We loved the new venue room, the backdrop and fluidity of the event spaces. We don’t regret using the venue itself and would do it all over again.
For reference, we are out of state (but husband is originally from AZ) and live in NYC, so a large portion of our communication involved email, this was painstaking, often taking several days to a week to get a simple response, and when we did, often times only half our questions would be answered. We started to then become very nervous, leading to us hiring a wedding planner, to which it seems Charlene responded quite poorly. On several occasions there were what seemed to be passive aggressive emails written in response to what we felt were quite normal questions. We felt like several details should have been included in the contract, or even a frequently asked questions sheet, which could have mitigated the need for all the questions.
The week leading up to the wedding seemed chaotic, we had no idea we could store things in the "ballroom" and when we asked the resort staff where that was no one knew which we found odd, we had trouble reaching multiple staff members which as you can imagine is nerve wracking the week of your wedding. We do however understand completely there were traumatic events leading up to our wedding involving GCGR staff and were trying to be very tactful and understanding. It also does look like they have recently updated their website with FAQ information, which would have been great to have!
Finally the day of:
1. The bridal suite smelled like... sulfur/ sewage mixed with mildew. We had to leave all the windows and doors open while getting ready, even worse the doors to the suite going out onto the patio did not lock, so we had to then carry all our important belongings with us all night. A plus is that it is huge and it was easy to have all our hair and makeup set up across the room, however we couldn’t stand the smell and did end up staying elsewhere for our wedding night.
2. Via this venue's contract you must use Charlene as a day- coordinator. Not one person in the bridal party saw Charlene all day and the groomsman only saw her in the AM. I am aware that GCGR takes people on tours during wedding setup and that this was happening, and also that Charlene was helping kitchen staff, however it is our understanding that a day-of- coordinator is a liaison between us and our vendors as well as the venue. We did not even see, nor hear from Charlene until our pictures were taken, and then not again after that. When communicating with the photographers/ videographers she told them they would not all be able to come with us for our photographs even though this was never mentioned anywhere… We had paid for a second shooter and video for our wedding and wanted them all to be included in our wedding shots. In addition, when my husband and I did see her finally to take us around for pictures, she was dressed in what appeared to be an extra large t-shirt and gym-like shorts— at a (formal/black tie optional) wedding that she was supposed to be coordinating. There were also a few other people serving dinner in what appeared to be jeans and a t-shirt which we felt was very unusual and somewhat unprofessional at a wedding venue, this was mentioned to us by several of our guests. Our photographer also received passive aggressive communication from Charlene in regards to having the second shooter join us.
3. We were a bit bummed and disappointed as no one asked us if we wanted to keep any of our florals, which the staff assumed they could take home, we were left with the fake florals from our rental company and the only reason any were saved is because we stopped to talk to our planner about keeping one for my husband's mother. The bridal bouquet was left in the locked glass reception building and when we could get to it in the morning it was wilted and destroyed, a memory that we can never get back. This definitely could have been remedied by greater communication between the venue and us the day of or even the days leading up to the event.
All this to say the venue has immense potential to be the best, but missed the mark for us in several ways. We think the communication could have been greater, in general, and after talking to some other couples/families who've gotten married at GCGR we don’t believe it is only us who have had this experience. We can't say enough about how beautiful it was, how most of the waiters and bartenders took care of our guests or how great their preferred and included vendors were to us! The resort staff who took us on golf carts along with our family and friends were amazing and friendly. The front desk, the afterparty, and the waitstaff were all very pleasant! The resort itself needs a facelift and the rooms some upgrades. In the end we don't regret using GCGR as our wedding venue, it gave us an amazing wedding and we would do it again, with some changes in place!

The site is absolutely beautiful!!! I would never recommend this site to anyone because I had so many issues with the staff the deals with all the wedding planning. They went through 2 people within my 8 months of planning this wedding before they finally settled on someone who finally figured things out for me, which was June. She was great to work with....not sure what to call her but I guess, the wedding planner? The day of the wedding went pretty smooth but I went through a lot of stress to get there. -

I fiund that working with Rob in Catering was much more productive than working with June their wedding coordinator, The food was delicious but the hor d'oerves were skimpy. There was a huge mix-up on the day we were to set up. They had booked another group in at the same time. The setting is beautiful but I'd think twice about using this venue. -

I don't have much positive to say. There were several behind the scene issues that happened but when they were addressed after the wedding they were very kind and apologetic. The venue itself was breath taking. The view sold itself, and by looks is the best venue I had found. The guest had a blast and didn't encounter the issues I had an in the end my husband and I have a fabulous time. Their hotel rooms were beautiful. -

Poor - unprofessional
I have a lot to say about our experience trying to hold our wedding at this venue. I sent an email sharing my concerns, but never even received a response acknowledging my email. We ultimately ended up canceling the wedding here and I could use this platform to call out names, but I prefer to speak with someone who is truly interested in making changes. So if the owner is reading these reviews and is truly interested in hearing my feedback to help make changes, please let me know how to reach you. Otherwise…future brides beware, and trust your first instinct! -

We Used Gold Canyon for accomodations and booked 9 months in advance. I notified family and when we considered and toured the property we broached the subject of housing family members in the same buildings and were assured that would be easily accomplished. Two weeks before were were informed they had another wedding party there that same weekend, my parents were moved from their building the night before they checked in even though there were trying to be next to the rest of my family in the same building and when they called to try to rectify that situation, they were yelled at not, once, not twice, but THREE times, loud enough that I could hear the Gold Canyon Representative through the phone. This occurred over 3 different phone calls and with 3 different employees. I did NOT hear my parents yell in response, although I Did hear the tension in their voice. Do NOT book with these people, even though their accommodations are nice, they aren't nice enough to warrant that kind of treatment.
They also do not return phone calls from the spa for potential bookings NOR do they return calls for rehearsal dinners before 6 months have passed. We booked with another company, had the written contract, details all worked out and then another 4 months passed before they returned our calls about the rehearsal dinner. They will flat out tell you they only want golf business and they prove it every step of the way. I even heard reports from my vendors about how they were Not helpful. -
