| - This review is for the Arizona Grand Resort's wedding reception services. We went to several different resorts throughout Phoenix and Scottsdale prior to making our decision and I found wedding coordinator, Dawn Candrea, to be the warmest and nicest person we spoke to. She was detailed and informative. Once we chose The Grand, she kept us on track with everything, which was especially helpful as we were starting to get overwhelmed as our wedding day drew closer.
We had a few minor issues at the reception. The wedding favors and toasting flutes that we'd dropped off the day before did not make it to the ballroom with the other items. The staff had to rush to find the items as the reception started. Other than those issues, the reception went really well. The staff was attentive to us and all our guests. We received several compliments on how nice the staff was. The food was delicious and everyone raved about it. Many guests were surprised by the quality since they were expecting traditional hotel banquet food. Our wedding cake, which the hotel made, looked beautiful and tasted great.
The Grand put us up in one of their villa hotel suites the night of the reception. It was very nice inside and they really decorated it beautifully for our wedding night. Rose petals were everywhere and they gifted us with a chilled bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and an engraved wine box. When I called the front office next morning for a late checkout, the front desk person, realizing that we were the bride and groom, moved things around so we could check out later, free of charge.
Our wedding reception really turned out great thanks to Dawn and the rest of the staff at The Arizona Grand Resort.
