I visited Phoenix for the first time this past Halloween to attend a friend's weeding at Aldea and now I'm wishing I could get married there! Granted the bride's vision probably added to the experience as well as the perfect weather, but even so, I thought this place was lovely.
Aldea reminded me of a Mexican hacienda. The ceremony was held in the courtyard, where the bride and bridesmaids were able to enter via a balcony walkway and down a staircase for a grand entrance. Hors d'oeuvres were served in another courtyard while a mariachi band played.
The reception was held inside, in a smallish banquet room with a dance floor and lovely arches. The wedding was an old-style Spanish/Mexican theme and Aldea was the perfect setting. The walkways lined with lanterns and the courtyard decked out in white christmas tree lights were perfect. I loved how it accommodated both inside and outside events.
