Arizona is renowned for its natural beauty, including towering red rocks and dreamy desert landscapes. With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that the state offers so many incredible places to say "I do." What's more, when it comes to affordable wedding venues in Arizona, options abound. Here, couples can take their pick of all sorts of different spaces, from golf courses to grand ballrooms and, well, so much more.
While you can—and should!—certainly check out our roundup of affordable wedding venues in AZ, it's important to note that we classified "affordable" as anything under $12,800, which, according to our Real Wedding Study, was what the average 2023 wedding venue cost. As you scroll through the list below, you'll also notice several have both indoor and outdoor spaces, which is a huge plus. While Arizona offers warm, sunny weather almost any time of year, it can get scorching hot—especially in the summer months—which is why it's not a bad idea to have an indoor option as a backup (besides, nobody likes sweating in their wedding attire!).
Keep scrolling for the full list of affordable wedding venues in Arizona, and be sure to check out our top tips for finding affordable venues near you. (Spoiler alert: The Knot Vendor Marketplace, which lets you filter through hundreds—if not thousands—of venues by both inexpensive and affordable, comes in especially handy.) But, that's not all: We've also got you covered on how to save money on your venue and how to get married in Arizona.
