| - We are a couple from San Francisco, LA, and NY and chose to have our wedding in Scottsdale specifically for the Andaz. After visiting 23 different venues, we wanted a wedding that broke from the same ballroom venue, meat/ potatoes/ rubber chicken dinner, and a retreat where all 120+ of our out of town guests could escape. We also wanted a cosmopolitan level of service and an aesthete both modern and hip without losing a tasteful 5 star feel.
The Andaz was that and more. Meredith Morris and staff at the presented an outstanding level of service that stood out from the rest. The moment we stepped on the property we were delighted by the craft cocktails, pistachio stuffed dates, world class menu at Weft & Warp, hospitable staff, and the charismatic aesthetic of modern cement floors mixed with vibrant hues and mid century modern furniture. Our guests loved the famous golf nearby and rented cabanas by the pool enjoying snow cones while waiting for our ceremony.
Rare to find, Andaz offers an area with it's own House, pool, and casitas. We rented the sexy Girard House to host a private welcome party to a view of the sun setting over the Camelback Mountain. We did not need to use as many flowers and props some venues might require because they may lack the natural beauty of the property itself. The Cholla Lawn made for beautiful pictures with its symmetry and orange tree lines. Head chef Andy and team created a menu that was as delicious as it was beautifully presented in a family style setting around long farm tables (so many compliments from our guests!)
Meredith worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was accounted for- challenging given we were from out of town and the hotel had yet to be completed. On top of meeting our picky requests, she went above and beyond and even left personalized welcome notes & flip flops in each room. This high touch service did not go unnoticed and everyone enjoyed this venue so much we will be returning for future getaways!
