Venues & Event Spaces near Paradise Valley, AZ

“Where do I begin?! This resort is an easy 10/10 (or 5/5 for Yelpers ). But whatever rating scale you choose it is an A+. This experience has surely left me waiting for another visit. I arrived at Sanctuary from Houston to celebrate my 40th birthday. I had no expectations other than a relaxing solo getaway. However, expectations were exceeded. Any staff member I came in contact with was so pleasant (even the grounds workers were polite "Good morning" ). The amenities, especially the Spa, PERFECT! I chose two treatments- Deep Serenity (full body exfoliation and yes I was nearly asleep during the session ) and the Hydrafacial (couldn't fight the sleep any longer ). The offerings of wellness classes such as Sunrise Meditation, Meditative Stretch, Aerial Yoga with Sound Meditation, and Pilates added the perfect touch to my rejuvenation retreat (some were for a charge at a reasonable rate but most are free). Now, on to the beautiful room I stayed in. The Casita King Mountain View exceeded what I thought. The photos on the website were enough to draw me in but being there it was all that I needed and more. I didn't even want to leave my room. The captivating mountain view with an early morning rise and sunset, incredible! I set my own personal tranquil vibe and now this birthday trip has been the best birthday to date! I have already decided to visit this resort again! Life is so busy but when you visit a place like Sanctuary you will leave better than you came.”

“Had a large group (40) that we took to the Escape Rooms and Axe Throwing as a team-building event. It was great! The Staff and Manager treated us great. Will do again!”

“My wife was really eager to see cactus in Arizona, and this was the perfect introduction to the natural foliage here!
Pity the Butterfly Park was closed for the season, but otherwise, it's a great way to spend a morning.
Come early in the summer, though: it gets hot real fast!”

“Cannot recommend this place enough!! Such a unique and clever concept for mini golf. I was skeptical about the 3D aspect but once we got set up I was blown away! It almost creates a perfect level playing ground so it’s a fun challenge even if you’re a pro.I thought the other reviews were just overly enthusiastic about the whole place but boy was I wrong!! It really does live up to what you see others saying - the murals are incredibly creative and the different themes make it fun and new with each set of holes you pass. The fish/aquarium area was my personal favorite. And after we finished golf, we played some air hockey in the games area so it really was a full night!If you’re looking for something fun to do I 1000% suggest stopping by here. You won’t regret it!”

“Enjoyed this car show at Westworld. SO much to see! Cars of all types, sizes, colors and heights. You could spend the entire day meandering up and down the endless rows of cars of all sorts. There was a relatively small indoor area with e-bikes, collectible toy cars, art and other car-related gadgets and clothing for sale, but the majority of the show was outdoors. There were plenty of food and beverage vendors as well as mobile units advertising custom garage flooring, mobile cigar lounge rentals, vacation giveaways and other services. Tickets weren't cheap, at $28 per head. Parking was across the street and we parked deep into the lot by the time we arrived at Noon but a free shuttle was available for transportation to and from the event. We decided to walk what turned out to be a mile to (and from) the event and actually beat the shuttle; however.”

“We were greeted by Bob and Rick they were both kind and clearly passionate about the history of fire fighting. I had my three year old with us so they made special care to tell us of all the areas he could play and what truck he could climb in addition to the overall layout of the museum.On our way out, they gave my little one stickers, children’s tattoos, and activity/coloring book.My husband and I were blown away with their hospitality and passion. Thank you!”

“We attended a wedding here. The entire place is beautifully decorated with a rustic tropical paradise feel. Every corner you turn or door you walk through takes you to another amazing space.”

“Great visit in this beautiful location! Recommend guided tour.. we couldn't make the reservation in time so we went with the audio tour instead. So many gorgeous things about this property although the kitchen and dining room are no longer there. Also, we weren't given access to sleep quarters and didn't see any washrooms that may have been used. Gift shop was full of wonderful objects.”

“Tony and his team were very accommodating with our small, last minute elopement. Everything went really smoothly which was extra surprising given the short timeframe. They accommodated both our small dog and my fiancee's wheelchair-bound father. And the venue is very pretty and idyllic despite being conveniently located.”

“We were lucky enough to be guest at a private corporate event. This place totally engrossed all of us with the magnificent collection of cars. The catered food and open bar made for a terrific party. Only negative was the DJ was a little loud, hard to talk over the music. Other than that, I am really glad we were able to see this! Very unique party venue.”

“My fiancé and I have just officially set our date at Tre Bella, and the experience was an amazing one! The team is so kind and helpful, and really prioritizes making you feel comfortable, answering all of your questions, and being transparent about the process. They are amazing to work with and the venue is stunning. We can’t wait for our big day!!”

“A bit of a chillier day to go to the Gardens. The nice thing is it wasn't crowded and the weather was not intolerable. Our main reason for visiting was to view the Fernando Botero's (artist) artwork and then enjoy the surrounding plants and cacti. We walked over to the Dorrance Hall first where the art was being displayed. I felt so fortunate and honored to see his work in person. A tape of him, his artwork and family could also be seen in this Hall. He recently passed away making the work even more important. Many think his work was of "fat" people and animals. According to the tape he liked volume; i.e., bigger is better. Stunning Botero statues were displayed in the Garden and the Hall. His paintings could be enjoyed in the Hall as well.The Garden is undergoing renovations so it may not look the same as you remember. It is still a great place to visit and see cacti, herb garden, and plants. Be sure to stop by the store for a souvenir or just to browse. Large parking lot and WiFi.”

“We went there for a concert I was completely lost in such a big city but we finally made it , paid parking is super close to.the venue and a mcdonalds in case you're hungry after the show lol had an amazing time and the people who actually worked there were pretty helpful”

“Went here for a work event. They served a buffet breakfast that was amazing! The seats in that room were so plush & comfortable, it was a pleasure sitting on them. Then we moved to another room for a seminar. Sadly, those chairs were horribly uncomfortable... maybe so people wouldn't fall asleep? Then, on to a buffet lunch & a return to the room with the comfortable seats. I didn't get to see much of the venue, but what I did see was well kept.”

“This course is nice and fun to play. Unfortunately, grandstands were taken down when we went at the end of March. Conditions were fast. You also get a complimentary caddy here. Helps so much with the pace.”

“Love the idea of this place, but the whole registering system feels pretty over-complicated.Our bartender, Aeyla, was amazing. Great service, super sweet and attentive. The food was surprisingly good too.The worker upstairs for the golf, however, should not be working in customer service at all. My husband and I asked him a question about registering for a second round because we were having a good time, and the worker replied, and I quote "You'll have to go downstairs and ask the people at registration... they don't pay me enough to care about that stuff". We were so caught off guard and irritated by his rude demeanor that we ended up just leaving instead.”

“I came here in February for an event for my work team. The staff were absolutely gracious and the food was top notch. I got to bond with my team and definitely coming back!”

“Great music venue. Finest music acts in town perform here. Can buy tickets in advance for some seating choices. Good drinks and great customer service by Heather and others! Bob Corritore is an owner and plays often with impressive musicians from around the world! Check it out soon!”

“Great idea for a hot summer , as they have air conditioners inside , all while you learn about the history of the house. You can buy tickets at their visitor center by the museum or reserve them online on the website . It was very easy to book and we also benefited from their summer special: $13.00 per ticket.
The tour took 45 minutes, the guide spoke a little faster which was a little hard for me to follow. The building is from 1895 and you can see how they preserved those elements, even the stair case is from the beginning and it was ordered from a catalog.
You have to stay on the red carpet while inside , you can take pictures without flash and try not to touch the items.
The museum is right by the Public Parking , and you can easily walk to it.”

“I love this place. It was the perfect place to have our wedding. The outside venue is gorgeous and the staff were amazing. They set everything up so we didn’t have ti worry about it. Michele was very helpful as well as we originally did not intend to have the reception there but she worked with us and we are so glad we were able to have the entire wedding there as it made the day just perfect ! Would highly recommend!”

“First time at this beautiful resort! Wow! The grounds are very beautiful and well maintained. The staff is kind and welcoming! THE SERVICE IS EXCELLENT. I work in the hospitality industry and I know what service should be and this place hit every mark there! The two restaurants I went has was the best I had. The staff treats you with best hospitality. I would highly recommend this place!Rooms: The rooms are good size, clean, well place.Nearby activities: Spa, tennis courts, pickballsWalkability: You can walk all over the place and if you need help around the property. They have carts.Food & drinks: The food is so amazing.Noteworthy details: It is just beautiful.”

“One of my favorite wedding venues in Phoenix. Beautiful modern industrial vibes and an amazing staff. Definitely feels like a hidden gem. A HUGE shout out to Lucas and Ana who helped me jump my car after the wedding and helped me get home safely. Lucas also quickly attended to a spill to ensure nobody had an accident.”

“I love this small, hard-to-find venue in Scottsdale. Tucked in behind vacation condos, it's a really beautiful, old Adobe studio. Perfect for the small Irish Christmas concert!”

“Working on behalf of Clark Durant, Co-Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Schools in Detroit, Michigan, I coordinated an event with Kristal, the General Manager at the University Club. There were a good handful of last-minute changes and requests, but Kristal was beyond gracious in making sure that every detail was perfect.Clark was so impressed that he sent a personal email..."Good morning, Kristal,Thanks very much for last night. Every person on your team did a great job. The execution of the plan was perfect. The food, the champagne, the ambiance, the music, the room itself, and the intimacy of being the only group at the Club all created the right framework for our people to grow individually and as a community. Thank you again very much. Deb Sanders and I are most grateful."We highly recommend University Club of Phoenix. Kristal and her team will ensure your event is a memorable one!”

“There were so many improvements to the Scottsdale Civic Center! It took me a few minutes to recognize the area, and I worked in the hotel years ago! What was previously an angled concrete area with fountains is now a large grassy area settled like an amphitheater with a splash pad and playground. There is plenty of seating throughout the grounds, sling with sculptures, murals, and fountains. I can imagine the concerts and public gatherings gmhsppenjbg in the area, and local families enjoying the playground and splash pad.”

“What a beautiful experience last night! There were so many wonderful people experiencing erotic art in many forms - canvas, body painting, burlesque, bondage. It was amazing to see. They used their platform to educate and inform the audience of harmful legislation that is so necessary and like the place to do it! A place with so many trans allies that may not know that their voices are needed right now! I would go again!”

“I photographed an elopement styled session here on my first ever visit to Arizona and honestly, photos don't begin to do it justice! This entire space is so beautiful for a wedding - it's a perfect blank canvas to style however you'd like and the natural light is just outta' this world!

I'd absolutely love the chance to shoot here again!”

“I visited the shop for the first time recently to find my wife a gift for our 15th anniversary (crystal). My wife likes likes some of the spiritual rock/gems/crystals, so I looked for a place to try and find something. The store was very nice when I walked in and I was greeted by 2 ladies. Both were helpful and asked if they could help. I let them know I was going to look around and they left me alone to look which I appreciate. When I had questions I asked and they were very polite and helpful. I appreciate when people are helpful and not pushy.”

“I have stayed 3 x in past five months. The staff have always veen very friendly and helpful. The rooms pleasant and comfortable. The Avacado Toast for breakfast was awesome. Will stay again in near future.”
