Joan at Maricopa Manor (the owner/proprietor) was awesome. If you're looking for an intimate backyard style venue that's as fussy as you make it, this is the place. We received rave reviews from all guest on how pretty, cute, and super intimate the venue was. We went simple with our style and did mason jars with battery flickering tea lights on the table, linens in our colors (soft grey and clover green) and then had Mystic Lites string bistro lights from the trees with paper tissue balls for pops of colors hanging from the trees and strings of lights. It was simple and perfect. We had 60 guests and I feel like we could have fit 90 still comfortably.
They only provide the site/location. We provided off site vendors for lighting, table/chair/linen rentals, and catering. If you need suggestions Joan has a list of suggested vendors. Oh and we could bring our own alcohol...a big plus for us!
We rented out the 6 suites for the weekend as well, and our family and my husband and I stayed. It was perfect. It was great to be right on property for our wedding day. The suites are super competively prices and very big for the price. Very cute. We had a welcome basket of goodies, and breakfast delivered to our room every morning. I would recommend it time and time again. If you need someone to do a lot of contact and be very attentive this might not be the place for you, Joan is hands off unless you need her. But it was perfect for our simple backyard style wedding. Oh and we hosted wedding ceremony and reception all on property, so no traveling between venues! Easy for us and the guests!
Perfefct for the low key and value conscious bride!
