Everything was seriously perfect
Where to start?! My husband and I had our late April wedding at Mountain Shadows and everything was seriously perfect. We are not from Arizona – we live in the Midwest and chose to have a destination wedding where the majority of our guests would be traveling from out of town – so we were looking for a venue that had everything, from hotel accommodations to in-house catering, tables and chairs, linens, etc. Mountain Shadows was the first venue in the area that we toured and we knew from the minute we stepped foot inside that we were going to have our wedding there. The entire resort, from the ceremony space with the gorgeous backdrop of Camelback Mountain, to the ballroom with giant sliding glass doors out to the terrace, to the common areas with mid-century modern touches, was the exact right fit for our wedding. We also held a welcome cocktails event at the hotel bar and Living Room space the night prior, and a pool party the day after. Everything went off without a hitch, in large part due to Mountain Shadows Catering Sales Manager Zeina Reinboldt. From day one, Zeina was a dream. She made the wedding planning experience so much easier. I was constantly emailing her with questions, and her responses were always prompt, polite and super helpful. I will never be able to thank her enough for all she did to make our wedding happen. Apart from Zeina, everyone working at the resort (catering, reception, valet, bar and pool staff) was wonderful. Throughout our weekend, there was always someone stopping by to ask us how everything was going or if we needed anything. It made the weekend a lot more manageable. And I just have to mention the food — my goodness, the food. We left our wedding tasting in awe of how amazing everything was, hoping they could replicate it for 130 people. We had no need to worry, as everything was beyond delicious. We had so many guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The whole Mountain Shadows experience, from beginning to end, was flawless. We cant wait to go back to celebrate future special occasions with them.

Magnificent Resort for any occasion
Mountain Shadows is a magnificent resort for just about anything- a grand celebration, staycation, happy hour with friends- and beautiful views of Camelback and desert everywhere you look! Even their restaurant Hearth ‘61 is a fun cool place for happy hour drinks and light bites.
I also got married here in November 2021!Greg Wirth was such a fantastic person to coordinate with for our wedding, literally helping us with anything and everything we needed during the planning time!
The food and the views alone were enough to have us want to celebrate here. It’s such an iconic Phoenix property. We had our ceremony on the lawn and reception on the overlook. Pictures just don’t do justice for how beautiful everything was! The staff was incredible, the rooms were so great for us and all our guests who stayed on property!
1000% if you’re thinking about getting married here or even hosting a celebration of some kind you should go for it!
