This is the place for your wedding! My husband and I had our reception here. We chose El Encanto in Cave Creek because the space was so beautiful and had a natural feel. The event staff were fabulous, setting up the tables and food before we arrived, as well as serving cake to table. The bartender was friendly and fast, keeping the line short for our guests. They made the whole experience easy for us and we had a wonderful night. I would highly recommend El Encanto for your wedding. Reviewed on 26-10-2023

What a magical atmosphere; the old-world charm, the pond, the tiling, the greenery, the lighting... all combined to make this such a memorable and special venue. Summer and her team were fantastic and the night was easy and stress-free. All my guests raved about the beautiful venue and its delicious food. If I were to do it all over again, I would book El Encanto again! Reviewed on 28-04-2023

We had our wedding reception on the outdoor patio, it was lovely. All the guest loved the food. I have been to so many weddings where the bride and groom spend so much money and the end result is dry chicken and cold veggies. This mexican food was so delicious and super affordable! Best choice ever! Reviewed on 17-04-2013
