The Scottsdale Plaza is truly a dream come true! It is a HUGE property with so many beautiful spaces for photos, dinner, and the ceremony. We chose the Plaza Lawn due to it's stunning bushes and flowers that surround the entire area! Camelback Vista was where we had our all outdoor reception and it was just stunning! The bride and groom prep suites were large and perfect for getting ready the day of! The honeymoon suite was to die for! We LOVED the food and all of our guests raved about it. It is NOT your traditional boring \"wedding food\". Lastly, the staff. We worked with Sandy Ellison from start to finish and I cannot say enough about her. She accommodated us and made us feel welcomed and appreciated. She truly went above and beyond and we are blessed to now call her a friend. We cannot thank Sandy and the rest of the resort staff for everything they did. Our day was truly the best day ever and it started with the venue!

Our day with Scottsdale Plaza has come and gone and was AMAZING. I'll be honest and say that the overnight stay at the resort was mediocre at best but that's not what this review is about. Our wedding went off without a hitch. Kylie (who took over for someone else) and Kristin were an absolute dream team! They were very responsive the weekend of despite other events going on around the resort at that time. Rehearsal was smooth. Tables and chairs were set up at appropriate times so we could go in and decorate. The only bummer was in the package we paid for a \"custom chalkboard signage\" said it was included and it was not. We ended up having no welcome sign which was fine I guess but guests did have trouble finding the venue once on property. They had the timing down to the minute and all our guests complemented us on having such a prompt start time! I just told when they told me to go haha. Everyone we got off their vendor list was amazing. If you're skeptical about the price (it IS high), it's still totally worth it!! We would do it all over again!

Wow! We couldn't have picked a better place to get married! We loved everything about this venue! First of all, Kristin (the coordinator) was SO helpful and was willing to answer any and every question we had. Our guests have been raving about the food! The building that housed both the cocktail hour and reception was beautiful and very convenient! No other guests at the hotel are able to wander inside. We also loved that everyone was able to stay at the resort especially after open bar all night. Everything was exactly how we wanted it! And it helps that the hotel has great relationships with other vendors! It made the whole event go so smoothly!Sometimes the specials the hotel ran were a better price for the rooms than the wedding discount code so be on a lookout for that (for your family and friends)! One thing I wish we knew before our wedding day was they do have storage that can be used for things you want to have in the wedding (centerpieces, signs, candles etc). Just ask!If we had a chance to do it all over again, we would 100% pick this venue! Loved everything about it! Great staff, beautiful location, and delicious food and drinks!

I had the most incredible wedding weekend at the Scottsdale Plaza. Not only was the planning process for the wedding SO easy and so much fun, but the Plaza associate I worked with (Sandy Ellison) was the kindest and most accommodating vendor I worked with. She was absolutely amazing and I can't say how important that is when planning a wedding. Everything from the stay, the food, the drinks, the service, the amenities, EVERYTHING was spectacular and perfectly executed. I can't speak highly enough about the Scottsdale Plaza. I will be back every opportunity I can.

We can not recommend The Scottsdale Plaza Resort enough! They were everything we could have wanted for our wedding weekend! The staff, the event spaces we used, the food, the hotel rooms and accommodations for our guests and everything in between was above and beyond our expectations. They made the wedding planning process enjoyable and easy. We got so many compliments on every aspect of the weekend from our guests. Our point of contact/coordinator, Kristin, was so organized and helpful through everything and she truly made our day run as smoothly as possible! She was attentive, listened to our wants and needs and went above and beyond for us.

I have been sitting on this review for a few weeks now. I thought about giving it 1 star but I think 2 is sufficient. I had my wedding there. It was planned for 10 months and I cannot say I recommend or was impressed with the level of service I recieved. The hotel stay itself was nice, rooms are clean, the bedding isn't very luxurious for the price of the expensive lodges but the service from house keeping was great. My wedding planner was disorganized and when they said things would be done a certain way at a certain time it was not. The planning experience was awful, I had to initiate almost everything and I would wait more than a week for responses. There was always an excuse of the planner being busy. I was hoping the day of would be great but that was not either. Guest arrived to the reception area and workers were still trying to put the room together. The chairs were absolutely disgusting even though I assured and reassured they would be cleaned. The food was decent at best, the bread was warmer than the food. I also did not get an opportunity for a tasting due to schedule conflicts on their end. The planner insisted on assigned seating which was fine but then the tables were mislabeled and their was no actual assigned seating. The guests were just given table numbers and people were seated oddly. The planner also insisted on handling decor even though I had my own person to do this, the linens were incorrect. I just cannot reccomend this place for events. Its sad because this is only a small portion of disappointments and I was very excited to work with this place. I even have 2 friends who booked here before I started having issues. I also wanted to have my baby shower here and I just dont think ill ever recommend this resort. At one point I definitely just stopped trying to work with them, I was so tired of repeating myself, arguing, and not receiving the level of service I was promised. they offered some money back for their mistakes which then I got a bill from them nickel and diming me for vendor meals that were supposed to be discounted. In the end i received no money back from that and I only had 2 additional people from my original quote. I never expected anything back but I really did not get to experience wedding planning the way it was supposed to be. We didnt even get to do a tasting or see the table settings in person. very sad.

Smooth and effortless wedding from beginning to end! Our coordinator , Suvanna, had endless patience, professionalism and generosity in the planning of our son’s wedding. We used the Scottsdale Plaza for a complete wedding week from rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. As a destination wedding, this allowed us to get to know our new family and spend time with ones we haven’t seen in a while. Our wedding was small (about 50) and the resort accommodated us with a custom Luau-style rehearsal dinner and a full roasted Kalua pig! They even provided equipment for a karaoke night! There are many options to locate the ceremony, rehearsal dinner and reception. They were able to create a different vibe for each space. The venue also accommodates wedding sizes from small and intimate to large parties of 300 plus. Our small wedding did not feel small at all and we had no problem filling our space with decor, music and fun!This beautifully groomed resort keeps the flowers and vegetation fresh and the ceremony spots are gorgeous! Our guests were able to enjoy private villas, pools and spas near their patios and great food from the restaurants. There are beautiful bonfires with comfortable seating located on the grounds for gathering. Dining at the resort bar and grill provided great appetizers, tacos, salads, burgers and more. The breakfast was spectacular with lots of unique options and great service. The highlight was the outdoor wood-fired pizza bistro where you could also order your pizzas delivered poolside! Inside, there was a marketplace and coffee shop where you could grab breakfast-to-go, or just gifts, cards, meds. Some other great highlights of the Scottsdale Plaza is its location. Within walking distance, are several restaurants from sushi to Italian. However, we enjoyed the food on site just as much if not better. If you want to explore Old Town, the resort will give you a complimentary ride to downtown! They will also provide rides to McCormick Ranch for some golf! We could provide a little of everything for our guests during the week. There was no need to rent a car and the kiddie train park across the street offered fun for the kids. We cannot recommend the Scottsdale Plaza Resort enough. The many extras from staff that went above and beyond, from the help with decor to the willingness to create custom menus, we were never told “No” to nearly anything. To say this venue was “affordable” makes it sound “less than”, but this was a five star experience and our guests are still raving about it. If you are looking to plan a “stress-free” wedding, this should be on your final list of considerations, and then you should put your event into Suvanna’s capable hands.

we decided to have both our ceremony and reception at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort because we wanted an all-inclusive style location. My husband's family is all from out of town, so we also wanted to cater to our out of town guests. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect location for both the ceremony and reception. We were fortunate with the weather and had both outdoors . Kate Gallagher and her team made sure everything flowed exactly how we planned it. I was not stressed at all leading up to our wedding because I knew she had everything taken care of. The rooms were all updated over the summer and they have a wide variety of room styles. We had some friends share rooms and it was perfect for them. One of my favorite parts of the night was having an after-party in the hotel bar. They had a band and reverse happy hour so we didn't need to go anywhere else. It really was the perfect venue for our wedding.
