She was fast to follow, but super kind and detailed with her instructions. This is my third class here and I will 100% be returning. This is such a fun indoor activity to do to beat the heat and let your creative spirit take over. I am also in a pickleball phase so the cookies were decorated were literally perfect. We got 5 cookies and they each were super tasty once I got to try one after they fully dried. You can buy drinks during the class, but we didn't. I love the community at this place and how everyone sits around each other so you can hype each other up as you go. Check it out if you've been wanting to take a class!

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. We ended up loving our coordinator, Katie. She was incredibly sweet, organized, and helpful during the final stages of planning and on the day of the wedding. The only challenge we experienced was that she was our third or fourth coordinator throughout the planning process. The staff changes made it a little difficult to keep track of previous conversations and details, which added some stress along the way. In the end, everything came together beautifully, but the turnover was a bit tough to navigate. The food catered by the venue was fantastic. We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was, and the catering staff did an amazing job. Where we struggled a little was with pricing expectations. Based on our initial conversations and the overall cost of the venue, we assumed more items were included than what ended up being covered. As we got closer to the wedding, there were several additional fees that surprised us and made budgeting harder than expected. For example, we chose not to do signature drinks because there was a $300 fee just to offer them, even though we were providing the alcohol ourselves. It was small things like that which we hadn't anticipated being extra. Even with those frustrations, we truly had a wonderful experience overall. Our wedding day was beyond magical, and the venue and catering staff worked incredibly hard to make everything run smoothly. We are very grateful for their efforts and for the beautiful memories we were able to create there. Overall, we would absolutely recommend having your wedding here.

The perfect wedding with a perfect venue…read more As soon as we walked in for our first tour we knew this had to be our wedding venue. All pricing was mentioned up front and very transparent. They have packages to choose from but we ultimately decided to book the venue itself and details regarding the bar and then personally book the vendors they have on their booking list. Halfway through planning we got overwhelmed and decided to add the florist, DJ, and photographer on our package and it did cost less than booking outside of the package! We had 100 guests and we got compliments from almost everyone on the venue itself, caterer, flowers, and DJ. For how expensive weddings can be I can confidently say booking with Villa Siena makes it so easy and so worth it! An additional thank you to our coordinator Jessica she was so helpful and kind & neither my husband or I or even our wedding party had to worry about a thing. Everything was so seamless and perfect.

This truly is a blank space, and you get to make it anything you can dream up. When looking for a venue, there are a few things I really love: my own vendors, chairs to use that are nice, the space hours, privacy, the flexibility of the owners, and how easy it is to transform the space into what I'm envisioning. The Prickly Porch is all of these, but somehow even better. Thank you Prickly Porch team, for making my events amazing! (I've turned this space into a mermaid birthday party, a gorgeous girls night, and attended the cutest Christmas event here too!)

Our experience was extremely disappointing. After what was a fun party for the kids, I received a harsh email accusing our group of things that simply did not happen. We did not sit outside honking -- we quietly unloaded and waited. The car alarm going off belonged to another business nearby. I personally decorated the cupcakes and cthat I brought myself, with permission from staff. We never touched any of their food or equipment. The conversations between parents were personal and respectful -- any claim otherwise is completely false. Instead of reaching out to clarify or make a quick phone call, the owner chose to review surveillance and send an accusatory message filled with misinformation. It felt like an invasion of privacy and showed very poor judgment. All ten families who attended have agreed we won't be returning -- and we'll be sharing this experience so other parents know what to expect. It's unfortunate, because the children enjoyed themselves, but the lack of professionalism from the owner completely overshadowed the event. Also we are not invited to return per the Owner, Angela! Attached are the "footage" she provided. Why IDK. I clearly know I decorated the cakes I provided! -- A very disappointed mom

My wedding flowers were seriously nothing but AMAZING!…read more I had a budget and Amanda figured out how to get use of every penny of it! It looked like we spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on our wedding when we didnt at all! Our wedding was HUGE and Amanda was totally capable of handling our flower load! Let me break it down for you 35 Centerpieces...yes 35. NINE bridesmaid bouquets! NINE groomsmen botineers! ONE super amazing grooms boutineer! I mentioned to her that my husband loved suculants...and on his wedding day she found a itty bitty one inch big suculant and put it in his boutineer! ONE bridal bouquet that was simply breath taking!

My husband and son picked up the florals just before the ceremony at Amanda's home office, our order was so small and the ceremony was nearby, so it was better to pick up the flowers ourselves. The one and only error on the order was there were supposed to be ribbons around each centerpiece vase. But we easily tied some extra ribbon around each vase at the ceremony venue. The bride loved the bouquets, the centerpieces were lovely, we were very pleased with all the florals. Amanda added eucalyptus leaves as an accent to the vases and bouquets, all looked beautiful. They truly lasted and were used on Thursday at both the ceremony and reception venues, then again on Saturday at a second informal reception at the newlyweds' home. Amanda is very creative and is a total flower nut, and I say that as a compliment. My daughter wanted a very traditional "look" and was a tiny bit nervous about Amanda, since she features very unusual florals on her website. But Amanda "delivered" with fresh and beautiful flowers in the right colors, the bouquets sized exactly right, and charming accents. Butterfly Petals gets an A minus, only because the ribbons were not on the vases as specified in the order. I would have no hesitation in recommending Butterfly Petals.

We just has our wedding here (3/30/24) and had a really great experience. Tennille was very…read moreresponsive to all of my questions leading up to the day and was helpful on the day. The only feedback I have is that we intentionally ordered a bit more food than we needed but then, last minute, a few guests were not able to come, so, that left us with quite a bit of extra food. We paid for the server package so Tennille and another employee did the food service and clean up but I had nooo idea how much extra food we truly had. Although it is very common for there not to be seconds for guests, because they knew how much food was still untouched, I would have appreciated them just letting me know because we could have had the DJ make an announcement for our guests to get seconds. I didn't know how much extra food we truly had until we were packing up the truck. Other than that it was a wonderful venue. I really appreciate that we could bring in all of our own vendors except for the bartender. You have to use their bartender, Christian, but he is FANTASTIC and has several different packages to choose from.

They had tons of resources for us and made the planning process very easy. We didn't have money to hire a wedding planner and did it ourself but honestly working with Shenandoah Mill made it that much easier. The Venue is a beauty and wouldn't change a thing! This week we celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. I reached out to Tennille to see if I could use the facility or if she had any ideas on doing something special to surprise my wife. They graciously are setting up a private table on the patio for us. I am bringing dinner and my wife and I will be able to enjoy and celebrate our love where we got married. They truly go above and beyond and would recommend Shenandoah Mill to anyone!

You can tell this land is full of rich history and has been cared for with pride. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely got our money's worth. If you're looking for an authentic Arizona adventure with great people, beautiful horses, and fascinating history, I highly recommend visiting. We can't wait to come back!

Although the farm is small and has its charm, our experience at a recent birthday party was…read moreunfortunately overshadowed by the behavior of a staff member who claimed to be the owner. She was rude to several guests, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Most of our party parked in the overflow parking lot, which is clearly marked with multiple signs. However, during the event, the employee walked over and padlocked both gates, preventing anyone from accessing their vehicles. We were told to reach out when we were ready to leave so she could unlock the gates. When the party ended, I texted her as instructed, but she refused to open the gates. She claimed no such arrangement had been made and told us we would have to walk all the way to the front entrance and then back to our vehicles, instead of simply unlocking the gates. This situation was frustrating and unnecessary, especially after being given different instructions earlier. While the location itself is nice, the lack of professionalism and poor communication significantly impacted our overall experience.

Highlights include: feeding the rescue animals, getting a pumpkin to take home included in admission, and browsing the unique gift shop.

Wear comfy shoes and budget yourself about 2 hours for this experience.
