Venue at the Cove

Venue at the Cove is a lakeside wedding venue situated in Rio Verde, Arizona, overlooking Bartlett Lake. With the lake atmosphere and nature vibe that showcases all that Arizona has to offer, this venue is a step above the rest. We could be a bit biased as we have poured our hearts into creating this venue and have incorporated the best elements from all the weddings we have attended in Arizona. During the ceremony, guests love the experience of taking in the natural surroundings that Tonto National Forest and Bartlett Lake have to offer. The bride and groom boast about the bridal and groom cottages for preparation, and the memorable scenery that is captured throughout every element of the wedding, from the ceremony to the celebration. Venue at the Cove is a wedding venue that you'll most definitely want to check out.

At The Paseo, one of Arizona's best desert wedding venues, located in Apache Junction, we were able to experience architectural features like arched windows, high ceilings, and courtyards.

You can customize the ceremony and reception to match your vision, and let yourself experience one of the greatest wedding venues in the entire state.

There were plenty of features like native plants and flowers, and the environmentally friendly policies added to the appeal, making it a space for a wedding that everyone will enjoy and remember long after it is over.

Saguaro Lake Ranch

One of the most lovely Arizona wedding venues, the Saguaro Lake Ranch, is located in the city of Mesa. The ceremony was held among the Bulldog Cliffs with views of the Arizona desert, and was absolutely lovely. The cabins added an appeal that we've never before seen and would love to experience over and over again. Everyone should take a look at this venue for their big day.

Villa Siena

This Mediterranean-style wedding venue, located in Gilbert, Arizona, not only has stunning architecture but also courtyards, fountains, and arched doorways for an experience that will live in our memory until the end of time. Villa Siena has authentic Italian character, and we were left speechless by the garden ceremony and the reception that followed in the indoor ballroom. With plenty of room for any size or type of celebration that you prefer, the Villa Siena is the perfect place to consider for a wedding.

Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens

Located in Phoenix, the Arizona wedding venue is perfect for an indoor or outdoor event.

Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens is a venue that you should be sure to take a look at when you want a unique event, so that every guest will remember.

The venue features over a dozen locations to choose from for the reception. When you are looking for a venue that is a bit different from others in which to celebrate your big day, this spot is worth considering.
