Absolutely beautiful venue! We had our wedding there a few weeks ago and everything was perfect. It was such an incredible day. The Andaz staff was amazing and we have received so many compliments from our guests expressing how much fun they had. Weddings are very expensive, but it was worth it investing money into a top tier venue. It made such a difference.

The Andaz was the perfect spot for our wedding this November! We had the best day ever and couldn’t recommend this venue enough. From the lush green lawns, the view of Camelback Mountain, the bungalows, and the desertscape, the Andaz is a beautiful property and the perfect backdrop for our day. We loved the desert vibe and all the plants and wildlife around the hotel is stunning. Brenda and George did a fantastic job communicating with our wedding planner and us throughout the process from touring to the day of the wedding. They were easy to get in connect with and were always helpful. We are from Arizona, but currently live out of state and it was easy to schedule the tasting and check out the property when we were in town. As a venue, it’s so nice to have the food, drink, tables, and linens all taken care of for the day. The Andaz staff did a great job with the bar and food and went out of their way to make our wedding day perfect. The getting ready room was spacious and well set up and it was so nice to have all the lawns and ballroom right near each other. We had many guests stay at the resort and heard nothing but great things! We loved the mid century modern rooms and having a bungalow to ourselves right by the pool. We are so thankful we chose the Andaz as our venue! Make sure if you are doing anything outside after dark, you get lighting. We didn’t know this and had to scramble a month before to get a lighting vendor. Luckily the Andaz had one they work with often that was able to do it. Overall, we had the perfect wedding here and would definitely recommend it to others!

We had our DREAM wedding at Andaz! It is unlike any other venue in Arizona and we could not imagine spending our special weekend anywhere else. We hosted just over 200 guests. Our goal for our wedding was to provide a great meal and a good time for our loved ones and we did exactly that at Andaz. We fell in love the moment we stepped foot on the property. From the resort's beautiful mid-century modern style to their multiple gorgeous lawns; there was very little we had to add design-wise to create a stunning setting for our wedding day. Brenda, George and all of the staff are quick to respond, incredibly kind and easy to work with. Our out-of-town guests stayed in The Retreat, right next to Cholla & Albers Lawn, and they are all raving about their stay! We were concerned about how long my grandmother would last in the heat on our wedding day, so having her room be a short walk from the outdoor festivities was a huge blessing. I would HIGHLY recommend booking the Albers House if you plan on staying the weekend. In addition to being the IDEAL get ready location for me and my girls, the indoor/outdoor space was the perfect place to host our loved ones for drinks after our rehearsal dinner. Andaz Scottsdale will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting for many anniversaries to come! We feel so lucky to have chosen this venue and we are so grateful to all of their wonderful team members who made it all possible. We can't recommend Andaz enough!

My husband and I got married on the Albers Lawn on 3/29/24. The day was everything we could want it to be and more. It was a destination wedding for us and most of our 85 guests. The scenery was breathtaking on its own, so we kept the decor simple by adding colorful flowers, string lights, and minimal signage. We stayed outdoors for our entire event. It was a beautiful night and we didn't want to spend it inside. Our guests fully embraced the headphones for the silent disco. It was also nice that the other guests could still listen to the music while carrying on conversations. The Andaz staff were organized, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. We toured this venue two days after getting engaged and knew right away we wanted to get married there because we loved the fun, desert modern feel as well as the friendliness of the staff. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anybody with similar taste. 10/10.

Choosing to have our wedding at the Andaz was the best possible choice we could’ve made for our wedding venue. Not only is the property just breathtakingly beautiful and unique (low rises instead of any larger high rise buildings), but the whole Andaz team (and especially George who managed our contract upfront and then Brenda who was the amazing events manager) just blew us away. We chose to be married on Albers lawn given our smaller guest count of 70 people, and that was the perfect area for us. The setting looks back on Camelback mountain, and the entire setup just couldn’t be better. We didn’t have to do any turnovers either since there was a separate lawn for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the dinner. The landscaping in this area is just perfect for a Scottsdale wedding (think cacti and agave plants and palm trees).
The entire process from start to finish was seamless and easy. Brenda was on top of everything, and she worked super well with our outside wedding planner (shoutout to Revel and our amazing planner Emma). Brenda made sure to make any needed adjustments, and her staff just nailed the execution of our perfect wedding. We loved the food and the service, and our guests also raved about the food (which is a serious compliment considering the challenges of wedding food).
Plus, we were able to block guests rooms for many of our family and friends who truly enjoyed the property. We had a welcome reception at the beautiful pool the night before the wedding (again just so scenic), and our guests were able to enjoy the gorgeous Andaz amenities throughout the weekend.
Highly recommend without any reservation!

My husband and I got married on the Albers Lawn at the Andaz March 25. The venue is BEAUTIFUL!!! Brenda was our onsite wedding coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. She worked diligently with our wedding planner to make sure everything was perfect. The dinner was good not great - in their defence the kitchen is quite a distance from the Albers Lawn. However, the quesadilla bar was an absolute hit!!! The service staff were attentive and friendly. Maybe even a little too efficient as some people never got to eat their cake because dishes were cleared so quickly. The bar service was great. All in all we had the most wonderful day and could not have chosen a more beautiful venue.

We fell in love with Andaz the second we saw the venue. To me, it was the perfect venue with amazing food/service, and was priced lower than some other venues in the area. All the spaces are beautiful and the mountain view is amazing! We chose the Albers lawn and loved the use of the different spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. We had 75 guests and it was the perfect size! From the start, everyone we worked with was amazing especially Brenda! She was very responsive to our emails and was great to work with. On wedding day itself, the entire team was amazing and fulfilled all requests we had! All of our guests raved about the venue as well as the food. Could not be happier with Andaz and would chose is again in a heartbeat! We also did a breakfast there the next morning with our guests and it was perfect - we set this up through Brenda and required very little coordination on our part and the food was great! We used one of their smaller spaces outside and it worked perfectly!
A couple thing to note is that the Albers lawn is very close to an area of guest rooms, but unfortunately we did not get those rooms for the wedding party/getting ready room/guests those rooms, despite booking the space about 1.5 years in advance. It sounds like this is common and they generally do not reserve those for the weddings there. It worked out fine but led to a relatively longer walk back to our room after a long night of dancing. You are required a 10 room block minimum while booking which can be difficult to fill as it is expensive, even with the discount they give (~$550 a night). They also do not provide 2 getting ready rooms - they provide one and then we had to book our suite an extra night to use as the second getting ready space which adds on some extra money but using the suite for the getting ready room was perfect for my smaller bridal party and it was easy to have them deliver food/drinks to the room! When we toured the space there was lights hung in our space where we would have dinner and were told they would be up (not at extra cost) but about 2-3 months prior to the wedding these were taken down and we were informed we would have to pay for them to be rehung for the wedding which lead to some extra cost/stress before the wedding. Thankfully we had an amazing wedding planner so other than the extra cost did not affect us too much.

I wish I could give Andaz and the staff 100 stars! They were absolutely INCREDIBLE our whole wedding weekend.
We booked about 2 years out from our day & were in constant communication with George and Brenda through the whole process. Brenda was our main point of contact and she was amazing! She made sure everything went perfect on the venue side with the months / weeks / days leading up to the wedding.
Wedding weekend, she sent us champagne and desserts to our room and followed up with us post wedding. We can't thank Brenda enough for everything!
The venue itself is gorgeous! During our wedding weekend. We booked out the retreat for our guests, and we all agreed that it felt like we were the only people at the hotel! We loved how private and intimate it felt. We were the only wedding on property that weekend, so we didn't run into any issues with booking out space or anything.
The food during our wedding was amazing and all of our guests LOVED it! The drinks were delicious and everyone loved our prickly pear margarita signature drink.
The wait staff the day of was amazing. We had high gusts of wind up to 35 MPH, and they were running around dinner relighting candles and making sure guests were comfortable. The day after our wedding, we had multiple staff members ask us if we enjoyed our weekend.
We can't recommend this venue enough. We can't wait to come back and stay for our anniversaries!!

We had the absolute best experience getting married at Andaz. We have a connection to the resort, we would come for happy hour when we first started dating but never took advantage of staying on the property. It is incredible! We had a lot of out of town family stay at the resort and everyone could not get over the beauty and unique vibe of the property. As far as the wedding, Andaz did not miss. From the ready room, to the ceremony space, to the food, to the service everything was absolute perfection! I never felt stressed on the day of the wedding because of how well prepared Andaz was. I had so many guests comment on the service and the food being fantastic. As far as the planning process, Brenda is such a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable and responds in a timely manner. No detail was overlooked by her and her team. I cannot recommend this venue enough! We already talked about a staycation for our 1 year anniversary! Thank you to Andaz for making our day absolutely incredible and unforgettable. We are so lucky to have chosen Andaz.

We fell in love with the Andaz long before our wedding. Being able to hold our wedding day there made it all the more special to us! The Andaz truly has it all from the ambiance to the views, the amazing food and drink to the friendliest staff!
Food & Drink - Having the food, cake, and bar services in house made for an easy experience for us as the couple, as we were already working to juggle so many other vendors. Any of our guests with allergies were well taken care of - even ones with extreme allergies, the Andaz staff took the time to find them and ensure they would have a meal they could enjoy. We loved the food and cake tasting experience! Talk about feeling like a VIP! Our guests are still calling raving about the food form our wedding! The Andaz was sweet enough to make sure we had apps to try once we sat down for dinner and even left us a little surprise back in our room for once the night was over!
Rentals - there are many rentals (tables, linens, silverware, chairs, plates/dishes) that are included with the Andaz. Some we took advantage of, some we did not. It was nice to have these as options as we worked out the budget and planning/design for our wedding.
Scenery - I mean, come on!!! Talk about feeling luxurious while still enjoying deserty atmosphere! No one nails it quite like the Andaz! We had beautiful sunset views of Cambelbak for our ceremony and reception. Again - another aspect of the Andaz that has left our guests speechless and talking about for days.
Staff - Brenda was a joy to partner with. Her entire staff was so supportive and made up feel like King & Queen of the resort for the weekend!
We cannot wait to come back to the Andaz to celebrate many future milestones as a couple! A bonus of the Andaz was the complimentary wedding night room and Hyatt points that we'll be using towards a future vacation!

We were absolutely thrilled about our wedding experience at the Andaz. The venue was the perfect size, the scenery was magnificent and the entire hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. All of our guests raved about the food (not just at the wedding but for the entire long weekend) and the hotel property. Brenda Bernal and her team were so helpful throughout the planning process which we really needed as we were from out of state. We chose the Elopement Package because we had a smaller wedding. We were able to add on additional food, appetizers and specialty drinks to accommodate our group that grew to 36. Have to admit I was a bit nervous about pulling everything off since I wasn't there on site for the planning, but there were no problems. The pastry chef created a stunning cake. Our flowers were done by Dani at Let's Bloom Designs and there were absolutely perfect!! I wanted something a bit different than her traditional offerings and she created a bouquet and table decor even more beautiful than I imagined!! Our wedding was in late November so the weather was the perfect temp and back drop for the 4 pm ceremony. Once the sun went down it got a bit chilly and but we had asked for propane heaters so our guests were very comfortable.
We can't say enough about our experience. We wish we could do it all again!!

Simply put...incredible. We're so happy we chose to host our wedding celebration at Andaz Scottsdale. The resort grounds, the bungalows, the event spaces...everything came together to create a truly one-of-a-kind magical wedding weekend, one we're sure to never forget.
Albers lawn is where our ceremony, cocktail hour & reception was held, and it was beautiful. The staff was phenomenal, and the drinks & food (most important) were fantastic. Would recommend it through and through!!

We had a small outdoor wedding on the Albers Lawn at the Andaz. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. We wanted to have a small guest list so we did the elopement package, which includes a bouquet, boutonniere, dinner, cocktail hour, and wedding cake as well as a night in one of the suites. We felt was a good value for the venue (and we also liked the turnkey experience). Even though we had less than 25 guests, we did end up booking a planner, which I recommend. (We went with Laki, who also did the flowers as part of the Andaz elopement package.) If you are coming in from out of town like I was, I would also recommend booking a night at the hotel before the ceremony so you have a place to get ready the day of.
The staff at the Andaz was excellent, the food was delicious, and the setting was absolutely gorgeous, with the lights, the palm trees, and the sunset behind the mountain. I felt like I was in a dream. It was the best night of my life and my husband said the same! We would highly recommend getting married at the Andaz.

We cannot say enough about Andaz Scottsdale, Brenda Bernal and her team for our amazing wedding day and reception. I have been a loyal Hyatt member for years but I did not anticipate the level of professionalism, elegance, attention to detail and execution we experienced. I came out to walk down the aisle with my children and my initial reaction was, "this must be someone else's wedding?!" It looked like something out of a fairytale. (I was blown away but recovered quickly because I was one of the main participants in the wedding!)
Brenda and her team were on it from the very first meeting until that last guest left. The food was to die for, the cake - personally and expertly designed by their resident pastry chef - was and has been the talk of many guests for over a month now.
The accommodations and special attention were world-class. Any need we had, any extra thing we asked for was done with grace and promptness.
I still daydream about my wedding day. Andaz Scottsdale will always be that special place for us.
I highly recommend Brenda and the entire team at Andaz Scottsdale. The property is stunning and the entire staff is so expertly trained to ensure every little detail is covered.
Thank you, Brenda, and to all who made our special day the most memorable!!

WOW! I am SO happy that we chose the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows as our wedding venue. We booked the small elopement package and EVERYTHING was amazing; the food, the view, the staff, the location, etc. I am so happy we chose Albers Lawn; the space was ideal even with our small group. Brenda was AMAZING to work with- she was very responsive and helped us achieve our vision for the most perfect wedding day. We planned this wedding from Cleveland, Ohio which was not an easy task in general, but the Andaz made this simple. The staff was amazing on the wedding day- thank you Sue and Aaron!! We have absolutely zero regrets and wish we could relive the whole experience over again! Not to mention, the resort itself is beautiful, the grounds are pristine. The staff at the main pool bar were awesome as well. THANK YOU for helping us create the most perfect wedding experience. We definitely will be returning for our future anniversaries!

Thank you Andaz for helping make the best day of our lives come true! The venue, the food, the hospitality, were all top notch. Many of our guests raved about the beauty of the resort, the pristine setting and the stunning sunset we lucked out having on our wedding night! Brenda was great to work with in the planning process. She was very responsive and accommodating and played a huge part in our perfect day. During our wedding weekend, the whole staff went above and beyond for us and our guests and everyone was so kind and cheerful. Also, can’t not mention the COOKIES-we talked about how good they were at least 3x a day while staying there. I would highly recommend Andaz for your wedding or event. It is the perfect Arizona setting, modern but still captures the beautiful desert.

All of our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the venue was- from the views of the mountain to the attentive staff everything was perfect. This evening was unexpectedly chilly and staff made every effort to make sure that everyone was still comfortable enough to enjoy dinner outside. The bartenders were fun and made delicious cocktails with generous pours. All of our guests said that the food was “way better than typical wedding food.” The space has plenty of variety for taking beautiful photos. The Andaz event coordinator bent over backwards making sure all of our questions were answered and that our priorities were held in mind day of. Choosing The Andaz was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

The Andaz team is on it! We had a mini ceremony / elopement in March 2022. Although small, they made us feel so special and took care of every detail…even details we didn’t know we needed. Brenda was so easy to work with and super responsive. Ken and team were also fantastic during the event. The entire elopement was so elegant, personal and private….Andaz is the way to go for any wedding needs.

I got married at the Andaz Scottsale in Nov. 2021 and though I'd share a few pros / cons for anyone considering this venue:
Pros:
- Food was excellent with better than average presentation for a wedding.
- The serving staff the night of the wedding was amazing - super helpful and very sweet.
- The venue is gorgeous with lots of IG worthy photo spots.
- The Forge room is the space they provided for the bridal party to get ready in - it's big, airy, lots of natural light - a great space.
Cons:
- They don't offer two separate "getting ready spaces" onsite for the bride and groom. There's also no guarantee of early check-in for a room the day of (a suite the night of the wedding is included in the wedding package) so be sure to plan day-of logistics accordingly.
- If you reserve the Albers Lawn for your big day, be aware that the hotel rooms surrounding the Lawn are not suites that would be included in your wedding package.
- A week out from our wedding - I was informed I needed a "plan B" for an indoor reception as a close neighbor complains about noise and likes to call the cops. The entire reason I chose the Albers Lawn is to have the entire ceremony / reception outdoors in one, intimate space. This caused a ton of last minute stress as I was concerned I would be forced to move inside (by either the Andaz staff or cops) or the music would be so low, it wouldn't be fun. During the reception, the Andaz team stood outside with decimal readers the entire night and repeatedly had to tell my DJ to turn down the music. Although we made the most of it, the music was definitely low - essentially the volume of dinner music the whole night. Suggest you move the dancing inside if you're really trying to get the party started on the dance floor.
- Communication response time was very delayed to my wedding planner and the Andaz team only met us once onsite (for the tasting) despite us visiting multiple times during the planning process.

I visited multiple venues in the middle of Covid and ended up going with Andaz because they allowed me to do the entire reception outside, George & Brenda are amazing, and they were so supportive of cultural elements. My family is middle eastern and there was no hesitation for traditional additions I wanted. I highly recommend doing your wedding here - our out of town guests felt like they were in the middle of a postcard. We had a few guests with special meal requests and there was not one mistake. Everyone loved the food as well. The Andaz truly is the best venue in the paradise valley area - I spent a ton of time comparing all the venues (sanctuary, royal palms, etc.) and you get the most bang for your buck here. Most importantly, their space is functional - which you don’t realize how important that is until you’re starting to draft the layout. They also hook you up with the best room! Thank you George, Brenda, & Maryann!! We had the wedding of our dreams and our guests literally felt they were in a postcard and can’t stop texting us about it.

We worked with George and the Andaz for almost 2 years, since our first date needed to be got postponed. Throughout all our tough conversations, George was caring, professional and helpful. Even with the uncertainty, his conversations were crucial to make the right decisions for us. On top of it all, they were great in helping us tailor our experience and get the best value for the package that we chose. During the pandemic, George was literally doing EVERYTHING at the property, and was a one man resort team. Even with all of that, he and the Andaz staff were understanding and unpretentious. If I saw George on the street he would get a giant hug from our entire family.

I really do not want to be writing this review because this was my dream wedding venue.. my fiancé and I flew out there 03/2021 to view the site all the way from Chicago. We were in LOVE and did not care when we would get married so we asked George to send us their schedule of open availability so we could try and choose that way. I reached out through the Knot app, email, and voicemail and unfortunately did not receive a response through any of them.. I re-requested to talk to someone and was told I would be contacted the day after my phone call.. that was back in April.. I re-emailed and called and left voicemails as well. It has now been almost 4 months and I just do not understand the ignoring and lack of response. After reading the wonderful reviews I just feel neglected at this point and wondering if I did something wrong myself. If someone could finally reach out to me with at least an answer of some sort I would still appreciate it.. again I really wish I was not writing this right now and would be half way through planning my wedding :(

Good Morning Zoe,
We want to start by apologizing for the lack of response from George i...
n your request. He is our one person that is handling all wedding selling and planning which is no excuse but could be the reason you were missed in the shuffle. You didn’t do anything wrong as per your review on the Knot it was just an unfortunate oversight. It’s been a difficult time in wedding postponements and also the large influx of people actually looking to get married. We have actually been able to grow our team in the last few weeks and have someone working alongside George to expedite follow ups with wedding inquiries along with the planning process. We hope you found a venue for your special day and again apologize for the time this has taken away from your wedding.
All the best,
Andaz Scottsdale Marketing

We had our wedding at Andaz Scottsdale and it was absolutely perfect! George worked with us for nearly a year planning our big day and he was there for us literally every step of the way. From the menu selection, to the floor plans, working with our vendor team and all the details in between, the Andaz staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding weekend was perfect. We chose Cholla Lawn for our ceremony/cocktail hour and had our dinner and dancing in Foundry Ballroom. Both looked absolutely beautiful! Plus, you can't beat that view of Camelback Mountain from Cholla Lawn!! We also rented out the retreat and had all of our close family and friends stay there for the weekend, which was one of our favorite memories - I would highly recommend! Thank you again to George, Michael, Sue and everyone else at Andaz that made our wedding day possibly.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Andaz! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is amazing. My husband and I booked the Andaz after George did a walk through with us on FaceTime and the property was just as beautiful in person. With the help of our planner, we did everything from out of town so we needed to work with a team that was responsive and flexible, and George was great about always getting back to our daily emails. All of our wedding guests were thrilled with the accommodations and George went above and beyond for both of the events (wedding and welcome party) that we hosted on site. I highly recommend the Andaz!

Our Andaz elopement was perfection. And that has everything to do with the Andaz team. The setting was gorgeous, the ambiance, the food (OMG the food), and the service was AMAZING - next level. I caught several guests having conversations for 10-20 min with our servers, and I think that shows the level of hospitality and comfort that everyone felt with the team. No request was too big of an ask. Our guests said afterward that they had never had such great service at a wedding they had been to, and we couldn’t agree more.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for us for what could have been disappointing, an afterthought or subpar given the times. Andaz sacrificed no detail. We are so happy we chose Andaz as our venue.

We absolutely loved the Andaz from the moment we arrived to our resort tour. George made us feel comfortable and we loved his personality. The property itself was beautifully kept and the wedding venues had some spectacular views. The food was not your traditional wedding food which completed our decision to have our special day at the Andaz. We loved that it felt like we were in the middle of the desert and also minutes away from old town. We highly recommend this place for anyone’s special day.

I am so happy we found the Andaz for our wedding venue! When we saw it we immediately knew that we wanted all of our family and friends there together. The venue speaks for itself and is so gorgeous with views of Camelback. We had so many compliments from our guests. Working with the event coordinator George was also a pleasure as he checked on us frequently and was always willing to go out of his way to assist. He also dealt with my weird and random questions throughout the whole process. He helped with our wedding and events run so smoothly and I couldn’t recommend this venue more.
We plan to celebrate our one year anniversary in Nov. there as it is now our favorite place in the world!
And bonus - By choosing this venue we received Hyatt points from the hotel as well that resulted in us going to the Andaz in Costa Rica and had thee best time. The Andaz hotels are great and so unique

We are so grateful to have found Andaz, it was the perfect destination location for us to get married. We had a quick engagement of 6 months, additionally, we were planning from Minnesota. We knew we needed to find a venue with a team that was knowledgeable, accommodating, quick response times, etc. George was just that from day one and he is THE BEST! From our first conversation, we knew that we could trust him with our wedding day and we booked without seeing the grounds in person because he just gave us the right impression. This was after making 30+ phone calls to other venues as well. We did make two trips to the resort before our wedding our in person planning meetings were always so thought out and constructive. It never felt stressful, it just felt fun and continued to get us more excited about our day. We have fallen in love with the resort and the atmosphere. We travel monthly, all over the US and worldwide and we always find ourselves comparing all other resorts to the hospitality that Andaz always provides you.
My husband have very differing tastes when it comes to style and Andaz was able to pull off a casual yet formal, classic elegance vibe perfectly for our wedding. There was nothing more magical than having our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all outside - watching the sunset, dancing under the stars. The space they provide you is not cramped whatsoever and every event was so close to walk to, yet separated enough to make you feel like you weren’t in the exact same space for the entire evening. For reference, we booked the Albers Lawn, had our cocktail hour around the spa pool, then had dinner & dancing between the Albers Lawn & Spa. We loved sharing the experience of the unique casitas, amazing food and incredible spa and staff with our wedding guests. All of our family and friends raved about our wedding and reception and how well executed it was - which was entirely the Andaz team and our event planner (Laki Events). We are just coming up on our one year anniversary and we are going back to celebrate at our favorite place that will always be so special to us.
We booked The Albers House for our stay and hosted a welcome party (about 50 guests) Highly recommend this! For some, it was the highlight.

Andaz is a truly magnificent gem! The resort has it all. Amazing staff, gorgeous grounds, breathtaking views, and killer food! My husband and I tied the knot in November of 2019 and I still cannot get over how perfect Andaz was.
George and his incredible team made every detail perfect the day of and I love how attentive and cared for we were the entire weekend. As our wedding approached, I was relieved to realize that I would not have to worry about a single reception-related detail because George has incredible planning skills and communicates effectively throughout the entire process. I am also grateful for the flexibility the event team has throughout the planning process, which can accommodate so many custom details, from food to lighting. I especially loved how they handle so many of these details in house! Which means having fewer vendors and fewer headaches. Our cake was designed by their talented pastry chef who able to take my simple ideas and turn them into a masterpiece.
I strongly encourage anyone who is considering getting married here to reach out for a visit. You will be blown away!

The team at Andaz Scottsdale made my dream wedding come to life in less than 2 months! We had originally planned a large wedding in Southern California in August of this year. When the pandemic hit we were forced to change our plans and we knew family and friends were not able to travel to California. I scoured the internet to find another location, and then I saw The Andaz Scottsdale Elopement package come up on my Instagram feed. My then fiancé and I knew it was perfect for us. After meeting George Romero, once for a venue tour, we fell in love with the beautiful venue. It embodied the perfect intimate desert vibes we had been looking for to hold our 10 person wedding. I planned the entire wedding with them and their team over email and Zoom, Lara Jacobs from Laki Events collaborated with Andaz and helped coordinate florals and rentals along with George and his team, which was all-inclusive in their amazing Elopement Package.
I had my whole family from California drive out and stay at Andaz the week of the wedding. We have traveled all over the world before, and stayed at many different places. However, I am not exaggerating when I say we have never received the type of warm hospitality and kindness from a hotel staff. From the moment my family checked in they were all treated with the highest level of service throughout their stay. It is amazing to receive this kind of kindness and helpfulness from staff, but especially comforting during a pandemic.
After a short time of planning, and not seeing any of the florals or taste testing the food until the day of, the team at the Andaz magically created my dream wedding better than I could have ever imagined. We got married in one of their several beautiful lawns, overlooking the sunset behind the Camelback Mountains. George, Lara, and their teams were so attentive and truly made us feel like Royalty. Every detail was perfect and it was because of their talents and the care they put into making our wedding special. It was the best day of my life and I could not be happier that we had to change our original plans because I am so thankful we got married at Andaz Scottsdale! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in the Scottsdale area, it is the best decision we ever made!

The Andaz was everything we hoped for! We planned this wedding remotely from Minneapolis and the crew at The Andaz made planning painless and everything came out perfectly. We were able to come down to taste the food and make some decor decisions and they were so warm and accommodating! My husband is gluten free and our cake was amazing! The night of was perfectly planned, the crew was inviting and made sure my champagne was never out ;) the grounds were immaculate and they even smelled good! The rooms were clean and our suite was so awesome to host our welcome happy hour at. I highly recommend this resort and our guests would too!! Everyone had a blast.

Our wedding was a dream! From the first visit to the day after our wedding, every single staff member at Andaz made planning our wedding fun and easy! The views are stunning, the food was amazing, there is not one thing that I could say bad about our experience. Next to saying yes to my fiance, booking the Andaz was the best decisions I've ever made!

My husband and I got married here in June 2018. One of the things we fell in love with was the amazing energy and vibe that we got when touring the resort. We initially worked with Jill, who was beyond accommodating and then towards the end of our planning we worked with George, who was equally amazing! You're treated like royalty there and your guests are as well. We had our ceremony at their Cholla Lawn with Camelback mountain as our backdrop and we had our reception at the Foundry Ballroom. The Foundry Ballroom is simply elegant, and one of the things I loved about the ballroom is that you don't need a lot of decor, the ballroom speaks for itself, especially with the beautiful and modern wood accents. Okay...now let's talk about the food and drinks! The food, cake and drinks are ALL AMAZING! The presentation of the food is like that of what you'd experience at a five start restaurant, definitely not your typical wedding food experience. Our guests couldn't stop ranting and raving about it!
We also had a lot of out of town guests and we were able to secure an amazing group rate. Many of our friends couldn't stop talking about how amazing their rooms were and how impressed they were with the hospitality at Andaz. I recommend Andaz to anyone, for any event, or even if you just want to get away for a weekend, or simply grab some great drinks and have a tasty bite to eat. My husband and I enjoyed our wedding weekend so much that we're already thinking about when we can go back for a staycation! :)

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!

I am writing this review as a VERY happy recent bride. My husband and I were married on March 13, 2017 at the brand new Andaz Resort and Spa. And I am ecstatic to say that there is not one thing I would change about our decision to book Andaz for our wedding and reception… well, maybe one thing…. I wish we had found them sooner!
My husband and I are both very detail-oriented individuals with high expectations, a predilection for making special requests, and a shared vision for what we wanted our wedding to be – and the Andaz team could not have done a better job making our dreams a reality.
We planned a “modern black tie” event. Our colors were black, white and gold. We were going for sleek, timeless, and sophisticated, with a little bit of modern edge. (I’ve included photos for reference).
My husband and I knew what we wanted, and we weren’t afraid to ask the Andaz team to accomplish our vision. Let me tell you - they were SO accommodating. They made us feel that our crazy requests were completely attainable. In fact, they made everything we asked for happen, from designing us a gorgeous modern cake for our reception, to providing a beautiful dance floor free of charge, to letting us use whatever furniture they had on site (complimentary), to hanging bistro lights just for our day, to even sending someone to Nordstrom the day of because the Groom forgot his tuxedo pocket square.
They did EVERYTHING you could imagine and, when asked, always replied, “Of course, we can make that happen.”
We felt so taken care of by them… and our guests felt so taken care of by them – which was a huge stress relief for this detail-oriented couple.
While the entire Andaz staff was absolutely wonderful, I must highlight one person in particular: Meredith Morris. Meredith is the event coordinator for Andaz. She is also a guardian angel, fairy godmother, genie, and wonder woman.
Meredith orchestrated everything to perfection (no surprise since she’s been in the wedding planning industry for years). She made sure that no corners were cut. She made certain that everything, down to the very last detail, was handled seamlessly (often without my involvement… which I am so grateful for!).
Thank you so much Andaz for your outstanding service and attention to detail! The Andaz team made our wedding the most magical, seamless, stress-free day of our life. You know how people always say that something goes wrong on the wedding day?... Nothing went wrong on our wedding day! I couldn’t be more enthusiastic to write this review for the Andaz.
If you choose to have your wedding at Andaz, they will go out of their way to make your dreams a reality.
Love,
A very, very happy bride.
