Agave of Sedona Wedding and Event Center

rk with and we picked from their list and most everyone turned out to be pretty good. One thing I do want to note is that if you are going to have steak, make sure that there are steak knives. Everyone had to use dinner knives except for my fiancé who asked for a knife and was given a fillet knife.

make it feel intimate for our special day.

reath-taking views of the Sedona Red Rocks, options for covered and uncovered ceremony space, cocktail areas, and a reception area that allows for great views. We saw a handful of other venue options in Sedona as we were planning for our wedding and this was the only space that checked all the boxes regarding convenient location next to a great hotel, a well maintained space with indoor and outdoor options, and views of the Red Rocks regardless of where you were standing during the ceremony or reception. The team's thoughtfulness and attention to detail shows through in their communication, execution and follow-up. I appreciated how accommodating they were throughout the whole process and I could not have asked for a better place to show off Sedona's enchantment, celebrate with my family and friends, and commit myself to my true love.

tly via email and took time aside to answer calls the closer we got to our wedding date. The views of the red rock mountains in the back ground is what made us fall in love with this venue. We loved the scenery and received many compliments from guests. There was ample space for guest to mingle and dance and bar was very elegant. The bridal suite also came in handy prior to and after the ceremony. I can't recommend this place enough and am so glad we chose Agave as our wedding venue.

connections for us-Stephanie the wedding planner, Kirwan the chef, Starz music, Kim at Jazz florist, etc. Every detail was cared for. The venue was beautiful! I highly recommend Agave of Sedona!

pictures portray. Cleanliness is outstanding. There are zero eye sores. Staff is professional and very punctual at responding to any inquiries. There was no let down when it came to our wedding day, everything was set up just as we requested. Payments are easily done online. If you do go with Agave, do try to book at Best Western, you can walk from the hotel to the venue.

ly minor issue was hiring vendors because the venue cost did not include them. Therefore, the price was a little high, however it was well worth it. We had 130 guests and the venue accommodated everyone perfectly. Nobody complained of lack of space during the reception. The view of the ceremony was amazing. Luckily the weather was cool and cloudy, providing shade the whole time. Overall, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was GREAT. We would highly recommend future couples this venue. Thank you Wendy.

e. For our rehearsal, we had a friend as an officiant so we were a bit unsure on how to run a rehearsal. Wendy stepped right in and helped us run through a few times. We had a Beats stereo and wireless mics for our ceremony and no decor - the venue is stunning enough. Our guests loved the views too!

cing for Sedona. The staff is easy to work with and very accomodating and gets back to you quickly. Our guests loved the view so much they spent most of the evening out on the terrace! I would highly recommend!!!

ly resolved the missing pieces I did not even know were needed. I was free to focus on my wonderful day and so happy it worked out so well.

including the covered terrace and ballrooms. Wendy and staff are thorough and wonderful to work with. Would definitely recommend this venue if you are planning a wedding in Sedona.

ad the best views, our friends and family told us they have never been to a more beautiful venue and as others have said, we agree. They are also a private venue, a quiet time by 11pm ( one of the only ones in the area) The only hiccup we had was booking our rehearsal, times we would like were declined but Wendy was able to get us in the day before and allow us to bring ALL of our decorations and alcohol. We hired a DOC outside of the venue, she was amazing and took over working with Wendy/Sean the week of, but both were sweet, accommodating, and always there to answer any questions we had. If you are looking for the views, a central location, and a beautiful private venue, look no further because this is it.

mplete signature plus package, but we able to customize a few features. Wendy and her staff have been very accommodating with helping us make our wedding plans. The venue is truly one-of-a-kind. We can't wait to our unforgettable special day!

hour and reception spacing flows so well. The preferred vendors were also all wonderful (Fresh from the Kitchen, Sedona Mountain High Flowers, Sierra Blanco photography, Care Schmidt from Sterling Weddings and Events, and Everlasting Cinema). Additionally, Wendy and Shaun were great to work with. This was the perfect venue for our big day. It is conveniently located next to the Best Western, within walking distance. We would highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for that fairytale wedding in Sedona!

ll the vendors we chose were the absolute best! (Sedona bride photographers, Heart of Sedona Weddings, Big Foot, Jacqueline Rose, Sedona Mountain High Flowers, and Sedonuts) All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. We did wish the curfew was a bit later because we didn’t want the night to end! I highly recommend this venue!

t to work with but the venue itself was breathtaking. My wife and I went to practically every venue in Sedona and couldn't find another location that was comparable not only for the price but for the views and atmosphere. We were one of the first weddings in the new space and we were blown away with the updates. Our guests are still talking about it and continue to rave about the venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is wanting to have a Sedona wedding with red rock views and a great indoor reception and bar space.

It was absolutely the perfect venue for us.

erves and made sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned. If you are looking for a jaw dropping venue which you and your guests will never forget, then look no further!

r. We had no confusion about what was in the contract and what services/rentals were offered/what we needed. The vendor list they have is top notch and we were pleased with every vendor that we used. We looked at many venues in Sedona and this one is the most updated than many of the other places we went. The views are amazing. The indoors are beautiful. Because the venue is so beautiful, I was able to do minimal decorations/flowers because you don't really need it -- this helped save on costs. Same with the BYO alcohol which was perfect. Wendy was very accommodating with our rehearsal the day before and with extending our reception last minute. Her and her staff as well as our vendors kept the timeline going and fed our guests their salads while we were delayed getting sunset photos. Many of our guests said this was the most beautiful venue they have been to and I agree! I wish I could have another event here in the future and I would not hesitate to have my wedding here all over again. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

ely. You can extend your reception hours late into the night - unlike most Sedona venues. I just loved it! Wendy was very organized and upfront about what to expect as far as cost and arrangements with the vendors. There are additional fees for nicer chairs and a larger dance floor, but that is typical with wedding planning. This venue has a few rules that limited what you can do as far as decor, grand exit, alcohol limitations, etc. But, we booked knowing those expectations and didn't regret it! Their organization and rules actually helped the event run so smoothly. Everybody raved about our venue and how gorgeous our wedding was. It was absolutely perfect, and a lot of that had to do with the venue!

ut in a dance floor to accommodate 100 guests 2 weeks before the wedding. We also had to provide all of the sounds equipment, including speakers as nothing is provided here. This is a very do it yourself venue so unless you are a really good planner or have one I wouldnt suggest it. The woman who manages the venue was not very friendly and we felt like every time we came to her with a question before the wedding she was annoyed and told us to refer to the contract. Read your contract very carefully and make sure your planner knows all the details such as table sizes/shapes, ask every question you can think of. You also have to pay the manager a service fee as she is there the day of to make sure things run smooth. We honestly didnt see her at all, if she was there she didnt even come up and say hello. We had a great time being with our friends and family but in hindsight wish we would have chosen a more relaxed, friendly, and affordable reception venue.

y that this was the place for us. It was worth every penny!! Every detail about this place is magnificent. We worked with Wendy from day one, and she went above and beyond making my husband and I feel comfortable and ready for the big day for the entire 10 months we planned it from afar in NYC. She answered every email in the snap of a finger, thoughtfully and thoroughly (and we had a lot of questions haha thank you Wendy 😭😭) and spoke with me on the phone when we needed to really iron out details. She is like super woman. If there was an issue, it was solved, if we wanted an opinion about something, she gave it like a pro. She accommodated so many things we asked for, guided us every single step of the way, and was sweet as pie. I truly cannot say enough about Wendy and the passion, dedication, and kindness she put into our wedding. She also was there for our rehearsal the day before, and most of the day of the wedding, overseeing decor and vendors, and being there for anything we needed. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without here, truly. Now for the venue. I don't even know what to truly say other than that it is perfect in every way. We got married in the main ceremony space with the red rocks in the background and our guests from all over the country freaked out it was so gorgeous. The venue is a one stop shop for your event and it was perfect that way. Once the ceremony finished, our guests moved to the covered section of the outdoor space for cocktails and enjoyed cocktail hour mingling and taking photos with the red rocks and beautiful iron details of the space. From cocktail hour, the doors to the indoor space opened and we partied the night away going back and forth from inside to outside and it was magical. Agave is the perfect place to get married and if I did it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Other things to note: The Bridal room is beautiful and comfy and I had the best time wth my girls in there before and after the ceremony. The photo ops on this property are endless. We had our guests stay at the Best Western next door which is separated from Agave by a little gate they open the day of, which I HIGHLY recommend. Agave allows you to provide your own alcohol (with a liscenced bartender to serve) and it saved us SO much money.

ave of Sedona provides a level of convenience and elegance that is unparalleled. We were able to smoothly transition from the wedding ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception, maximizing our time with our beloved guests. Each segment of the evening had its unique space and they seamlessly flowed together. The attention to detail is stunning. The staff is very helpful! Despite the inclement weather we faced, our wedding went on without a hitch!

n (bistro tables, the man cave, a front sitting lounge). Wendy is amazingly easy to work with and reached out multiple times to confirm small details were correct. Her and her assistant Terri really ensured our rehearsal and wedding went smoothly. She even floofed my dress right before I walked down the aisle. My husband and I toured four other venues in Sedona and Oak Creek back in 2015, picking Agave of Sedona was absolutely the right choice. I can't imagine our wedding being this perfect anywhere else. In response to the 8/2015 review, I want to add that the ceremony chair rental cost ($3/chair) was made clear to us as soon as we started discussing packages with Wendy back in October 2015. Maybe it wasn't made clear in the past, but the packaging tiers that we were shown were straight forward about what was and wasn't included. They also upgraded their reception chairs to Chiavari chairs about three months before our wedding, so gaudy conference room chairs didn't blemish our photos. I did see that review before booking at Agave and was a little nervous about Wendy not being "warm and kind", but she really did go out of her way to make sure our wedding was flawless. She was never anything other than kind and professional over the year we worked with her.

rocks. The venue itself was nicely located for the guests to stay at the Best Western Plus Inne of Sedona. The ability to self provide alcohol was a big bonus since we wanted specific wine that is not readily available at most venues. As our wedding started to get closer there were number of issues that arose, as is typical with most weddings. Unfortunately the Agave manager Wendy was not warm and helpful in dealing with those issues. For example once issue that arose was the venue requires you to use their plate and glassware, however they neglected to inform us that they don't have drink glasses, they only had wine and water glasses. I think Wendy had purchased the ugliest chairs possible to require us to rent chair covers through her. Another item that wasn't a big deal but was aggravating was that the wedding package we purchased included a tea party (which I was very excited about and was wonderful). Wendy charged us tax and gratuity on the entire wedding package (which included the cost of the tea party), however she then expected us to pay tax and gratuity to the team hosting the tea party. After a bit of back and forth she agreed to pay the tax for the tea party and we still had to pay gratuity to the tea party team. It wasn't a big deal, but we were still being double charged. As the wedding planning continued there were a number of charges typically in $300 increments that had to be made as more and more items that were required (such as ceremony chairs) were brought to light as not being included in the 'all inclusive' package. We could have done a better job double checking up front, but you expect chairs to be included in an 'all inclusive' package. There were a consistent stream of minor issues as the wedding got closer that made it more and more challenging to work with Wendy. I was very thankful that I had help and they were willing to work with Wendy to make the wedding day run smoothly. In conclusion this venue was great for both the ceremony and reception, but the service could be improved upon.
