I feel he really went above and beyond for us to ensure a great wedding day. Thank you!

It was a perfect place for our wedding and reception. Through our meetings and conversations, they truly brought our vision to life. Wedgewood Palm Valley's vendor were awesome to partner with. It was great to pick up the phone and make an appointment. The vendors knew who I was and that I was a Wedgewood Palm Valley bride. We used all of Wedgewood Palm Valley's vendors. DJ Damian kept the dance floor full and played the music we requested. Janice with Blooming Bouquets made beautiful center pieces for the reception. She also did the all the floral for the wedding party. Everything was beautiful. The cupcake tower was provided by Pixy Cakes and was great. We decided to have a photo booth and it was a great hit, thank you Brittany was creating the photo album with all the pictures. We decided to use Memories by Karen as well. She is also a Wedgewood Palm Valley vendor. She did our engagement and wedding pictures. We loved the engagement pictures, we cannot wait to see the wedding pictures. Wedgewood Palm Valley made our wedding day a great celebration and a day to remember. Thank you again to all that helped pull our special day together!

For a bride on a budget, you can't beat the Mission Wedding Chapel. Sarah and Jason take care of…read moredecorations and music (Here Comes the Bride or Pachebal Canon in D - your choice), and both of them are genuinely nice humans. Jason is patient in guiding those who are nervous, and Sarah went above and beyond with her communication in regards to my queries before the event. For our small ceremony, it was the perfect fit. The only reason that I haven't selected five stars is probably not relevant to most readers: I prize clear communication, and the one place that lacked communication was photography. Don't get me wrong: the photographer's pictures appear to be excellent, and she has a prepared checklist of shots for couples to fill out so that they can make the most of the time they purchased. For most people, this will work out quite well. However, I had a unique situation: Holocaust survivors were attending our ceremony, and I wanted to have a 10-minute conversation to make sure their needs would be met. Two unreturned phone calls later, and email, and, finally, a query to Sarah, I received a short response from the photographer stating that she was too busy for phone calls. Although I certainly understand being busy while running multiple businesses, I would have appreciated knowing why I wasn't getting responses earlier so that I could make alternative arrangements to make sure the guests were taken care of. If your situation is more typical than mine, then I suggest that the package arrangement will work well. And regardless of photography, definitely give the Mission Wedding Chapel a try. Sarah and Jason are the real deal - and they'll give your bank account a deal so you can save for the things that truly matter: the marriage that follows the wedding.

Oh my goodness this was the best day of my life! I married my best friend here on March 20th 2023…read moreand it was the most beautiful, amazing, experience I've ever had. I'm in the hospitality industry and I've worked hundreds of banquets and weddings so I know what to look for when it comes to service. Michelle Hart made our lives soooooooop much easier. I love that woman! My husband and I were originally going to have a backyard wedding, but became very stressful so we decided to look into affordable venues that can accommodate 100 people with 2 months notice. With the packages offered by the antique wedding house, it made our planning so easy. The value is outstanding. We went with the Isabella package for 100 people and it was approx $7000 on a Monday. all inclusive. Dj, photographer, Photo Booth, catering, 3tier cake, dressing room's, event coordinator, everything! We absolutely made the right decision when choosing antique wedding house as the venue for our wedding. They took care of everything. EVERYTHING ! Michelle, the coordinator and lady in charge, was very kind, patient, and easy to work with. She answered every question, was very helpful in helping make decisions, and also allowed us to choose and customize what we wanted with no hesitation. For example, we purchased the Isabella package and it includes an officiant for the ceremony. My husband and I wanted my mother and his friend to officiate us together. No problem! Michelle made planning our wedding so easy. It's like a one stop shop. Michelle literally helped us plan almost everything in less than an hour. Come wedding day, everything was stunning! The staff was very accommodating, and pleasurable. The food was amazing. Our Dj, Emmett with Direct Sounds DJs, was Awesome!Our photographer... Dorrell Edwards with Always Timeless Weddings, well.... All I can say is that This guy. The bartender, Ruben, was on point, friendly, and professional. Dennis and jessica with Goof Booth photo booths, were very very awesome and kind. The banquet captain, Eric, was super sweet and I really appreciate everything he did to make our night perfect. The cake... let me tell you that the cake is the absolute BEST wedding cake I have EVER had. And being in the industry, I've tried a lot of wedding cake. It was 3 tiered with 3 different flavors and icings. We did red velvet with cream cheese icing, strawberry with mango icing, and butter rum with butter cream icing. So freaking good!!!! And it was beautiful. All and all the antique wedding house has my 110% satisfaction. They offer an officiant but we went with our own.

I wish I had attended a wedding she officiated before hiring her for mine. My venue had her listed…read moreas a preferred option and said she was good. I spoke to a friend, and he said she married him and he was happy enough with her services, so we went with her. My fiancé and I met with her, and she asked maybe 6 questions about us, and said she would write our ceremony and send us a copy to review. When we got the copy, I thought it was a joke. When I realized this wasn't sent in error, I felt physically ill. It wasn't personalized to reflect us or our relationship at all, the flow was horrible, and I believe it was a cut and paste job from a few internet sources. We opted to write our own ceremony, which was heartfelt and definitely represented us and our personalities. I was hesitant to send it and ask that it be used instead of what was written for us, but Montana agreed to read it for us. Fast forward to our wedding day. Montana showed up and appeared to be irritated. She asked where the marriage license was and asked if the money was in the envelope. She asks for a $100 deposit, but wants the rest paid in cash on the wedding day. I can only assume this is to avoid taxes on the other $200+ we paid. I can't come up with any other logical reason cash payment would be mandatory. During the ceremony, Montana told me I was standing in the wrong spot, even though venue staff told me which side of the altar to stand on. During the ceremony, I couldn't listen to what was being said. It wasn't because I was worried I was going to get emotional. It was because she was reading it like she was reading a children's story. Crazy inflection every few words. I had several guests comment about it after the wedding, and it wasn't to say that it was well done. When the ceremony was over, she quickly left. When we got our wedding photos, I discovered that in every single photo, she had RBF. She looked like someone made her drink a cup of lemon juice. I don't know if the attitude is typical, she was having a bad day, was unhappy with the little bit of humor in our ceremony, or was not happy to do a same sex wedding (which she previously said she was fine with). Whatever the issue, I regret going with Montana, as it caused some unnecessary tension on our wedding day. I should have gone with my gut from the beginning. Lesson learned.

I found Bird of Paradise Weddings (and specifically the officiant, Montana Meadows) after a quick…read moreGoogle search. I'm surprised Montana doesn't have any Yelp reviews yet... because SHE IS WONDERFUL. My husband and I eloped in Phoenix in January 2014, and we hired Montana to officiate our "ceremony." (She called it a sign-and-file, because it was a very short ceremony!) She was courteous, professional, and friendly. Our sign-and-file consisted of a sweet intro from Montana, a reading, ring exchange, "I do's," and of course the kiss. We are not religious at all, so it was very nice to have an officiant who respected our preferences and ideas. Montana was 100% willing to customize her officiant duties to suit our needs. I think that is very important for anyone looking for a personalized, distinctive ceremony. I should have written up a Yelp review ages ago, but I was reminded to do so again after-- get this!-- we received an anniversary card from Montana! It was a personal note, thoughtful and handwritten... an excellent move on her part, and so special for us to be reminded of how much fun our day was, thanks in part to Montana Meadows and Bird of Paradise Weddings! I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking to get hitched in AZ!
