My hubby Mike and I would like to give a HUGE shout-out to the outstanding Irish band "Aris." The…read morename means 'again' or 'encore' in Gaelic. They played for our 40th wedding anniversary/vow renewal ceremony this past August 23rd at Arizona Hops and Vines, one of our fave wineries. Their leader, Margy Eller-a lady with the voice of an angel-(and a wonderful bodhran player as well!) is a good friend of ours. She arranged things so the band would be ready to play for us and our guests. All of Aris have day jobs; some have two-but they practiced their hearts out preparing for our event. They WOWED us, our guests, AND all the patrons on the grounds of the winery who were lucky enough to be visiting that day and got to hear this awesome band play and sing. We told the winery owners there was no reason to close the winery for our event, because in bygone days, one's whole village would turn out for a wedding! Margy's daughter Ashley came with her mom and did some traditional step-dancing for the occasion. I was floored. I'd thought about hiring a dancer for the event, but there wasn't enough time. Lo and behold, out of the blue...we had one, and she did a splendid job. Aris-what a talented group they are! This wonderful band gave ALL of us memories to cherish forever. Huzzah!

The space is industrial with unique design touches and beautiful, bright hanging artworks.

I didn't want to leave and I'm considering volunteering. I highly recommend Catalyst!

We got married here and while it was a beautiful place and everyone at our wedding had a blast I as…read morethe bride was left with a bad taste in my mouth. The reason for one star: they ruined our sand ceremony keepsake. Once the reception started our gifts, cards and sand kit was placed inside. Once the party was over they lock up. Understandable it's someone's home. That's when I realized our sand kit with our sand keepsake was locked inside. I asked if we can go grab it and they refused. Ok again I understand that it's someone's house but none of the staff or anyone working there offered to go back inside and grab it. I asked when can we get it and They said Monday! Wedding was on a Saturday and We're from Phoenix so it's a bit of a drive. So we drive back to the mansion to pick it up and they left the box on the porch. I grab it and opened it up and they had turned the box upside down so the sand was falling out and it got all mixed up! Now every time I look at our keepsake I'm reminded of how terrible they were to us and how they had no consideration for our belongings. Just throw it outside on the porch. Unfortunately I do not recommend this place. Pic below shows the front and the back.

It is all inclusive so the price includes most of the vendors you need but most importantly they do not charge you all of the little extras like cutting the cake and uncorking the wine. The facility is fabulous. Would recommend this venue over and over again.

I was married here this past week and Samantha and her team helped to make this a memorable and…read moresmooth evening. I am a person who likes to plan out everything in advance so that when things happen, I already have a plan in place to be able to fix it, or to have someone else be able to fix it (in this case, I had everything set up to where I would be bothered as little as possible). Samantha was allowing me to meet up with her almost monthly to complete payments and to go over different details as they arose. She was extremely helpful when it came to planning and was amazing at responding to all emails (which I definitely did not get from numerous other vendors). Then throughout the day, she was extremely helpful in keeping they plan we created in motion. The price here is great! If you so chose, this event space allows you to maintain a budget in a medium to lower budget. You have options to have everything included as you prefer (they have different caterers and DJs they contract with) or you can only use the space if you so wish to do. They keep the bar as an open bar (meaning you give them the alcohol and they serve it) and they provide basically all of the non-alcoholic stuff. Samantha even brought in a local prickly pear syrup for prickly pear margaritas that was delicious. There were also different things you could add if you wanted them (upgrades for chairs, an extra getting ready room, a fire pit, etc.) We were allowed to bring in whatever decorations that we wanted, so an individual could lean into the rustic, Southwest theme they already had, or to spin what is there to match just a rustic theme (I personally leaned more towards the mountain/forest theme rather than the Southwest theme). There was a possibility that it would rain on the wedding day in which Samantha spoke with us about the day before. Together we made sure there was a plan in place in case it rained (it didn't so we were able to get married on the lawn). Everything that evening went really smoothly. If I have any tips for future weddings - bring bug spray. Events are mostly outside, at the base of a mountain... you want the bug spray. This event space very much matched everything that I would look for in planning a wedding. It gave me the freedom to do as I wanted creatively, but also assisted in providing structure to maintain the plan I had in place, or fill in some gaps that I was missing. I strongly recommend using the Corona Ranch as an event space and I hope that many groups will have wonderful parties here in the future.

They were affordable, great with communication, easy to work with and a beautiful product was created in the end. Just a side note too; make sure to tell him what songs you want for your video, if you don't, Pharrell William's "Happy" will be used. So if you're not a fan of it like I am not, tell him before! I already knew this, but was late on telling him my songs. He definitely worked with me on switching it out. Very nice guy!

Ok, first the good... *The food was excellent. We had beef and chicken, both with wonderful sauces, along with some amazing green beans and mashed potatoes. The dessert was great too. *The wait staff were super helpful, courteous and efficient. I hope they pay them well because they deserve it. *The venue was very pretty Ok, now the not-so-great, which unfortunately is a longer list... *They need better signage and lighting for nighttime events. It was hard to tell where to park and even more difficult finding the buildings in the dark. We wandered through the rocky parking lot and found a sidewalk and finally found the party. *Um, ADA compliant? Not so great. I have a lot of health issues and have difficulty walking long distances. There was no such thing as handicap parking and I would have had a very difficult time trying to use my walker. Good luck if you're in a wheelchair. *This was partially an outside event. Generally speaking, outside events in the winter have patio heaters but the only heat sources available were two small fire pits. Everyone took turns warming up by the fire but more was definitely needed. *Our invitation said there would be s'mores stations set up. I don't know if this was a mistake by the venue or the person who booked, but no s'mores were found. Boo! *Lastly, the bartender was less than friendly. Every other staff person was beyond helpful and super friendly except for the bartender. I mean, he wasn't outwardly hostile or anything but he might as well have been a robot bartender. At least the drinks were good!
