Located in Laveen, AZ, Ashley's Backyard is simply the wedding venue that encourages the client to create their own ambiance, from the decor to the caterer, with our sophisticated grounds as their backdrop.
Ashley’s backyard was built for my daughter’s (Ashley) wedding. During her wedding, others asked if they could have their wedding here, too. Since then, word-of-mouth has spread, and we’ve hosted several weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, etc. Consider Ashley’s Backyard for your next event!

My partner created the venue for his daughter’s wedding and was inspired by others who asked to have their wedding here too. I couldn’t wait to help him get this business off the ground. Together we’ve worked to create the Simple Sophistication brand here at Ashley’s Backyard and we are so excited to see how each and every wedding will take on a look all their own. It’s my pleasure to work with the couples to give them the ideal space for their memories and hope they will look back and remember, not the venue itself, but how much fun they had on their big day!

June 1, 2024 Event | Let me just start off by saying Tammy and Rod were absolutely amazing! From start to finish way before the event happened I have to just say they were amazing. Ashley's backyard is normally closed in the summer and when I gave them a call to let them know what we were doing and the ministry that I was working with they were very excited and happy to open their doors for us for our Summer Soiree. Fast forward weeks and days leading up to the event Tammy was so very accommodating to every question I had as well as allowing myself and a few other vendors onto the property for measurements and placement of things. On the day of tables were already set out and laid out for us which was an extra help for us with all the decor and set up we had to do myself and my team Weddings and Events By Trina. The event was amazing clients were happy and so was Tammy and Rod. We hope to have more than plenty of opportunities to go back and use Ashley's Backyard for future client events. Thank you Tammy and Rod for allowing us to have the beautiful mountains and the overhead lights clean down on our event as we gathered a great food and took pictures. We love the extra decor with the Chevy benches that were laid out for us I mean what can I say it's just picturesque. This is absolutely a place where you want to come and have an event It lends itself to so many different themes and vibes. Thank you again. Weddings and events by Trina. Cheers!!

We had looked at venues for months before we stumbled upon a "little" place called Ashley's Backyard. Tammy and Rod were nothing but polite, willing to hear all of our ideas, and even let us have a 24ft inflatable slide and a Beer Burro! It was the most amazing place and we are so happy our wedding was held here. It is a fantastic place to have pictures taken! With the mountains surrounding the property, our sunset ceremony had the best opportunity for amazing photos. Our ceremony and reception were a hit with our large families, and the staff that they have were professional, quick, and very friendly. If I had to do it again, I would have looked here first. Thank you Tammy and Rod for everything you do!

I can’t say enough good things about this venue. The staff (Tammy, Rod, Ashley, etc) are AMAZING. They all work so hard and they are all so kind & there for you if you need help or advice. They were absolutely essential to my wedding day being perfect. Second, the venue is beautiful. You can make it as relaxed or as fancy as you’d like. I am so happy we chose Ashley’s Backyard. If you’re considering this venue, BOOK NOW! You will honestly not regret it.

Two weeks before our wedding, we had to change our venue! What a nightmare I thought, searching for a new venue was scary and then finding my dream venue and having it be even more than what I dreamed of made the whole process smooth and not a single ounce of stress! I can’t thank Tammy and her husband for opening up their hearts and letting us move our wedding there last minute!! I will always be forever thankful. You helped my vision and dreams come true. I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason and I know I was supposed to have my wedding with them, what bright souls you have! My wedding will forever be my favorite day, I couldn’t thank you all enough!

My husband and I had the best day/night of our lives. Ashley’s backyard catered to our every need from the beautiful ceremony to the awesome bar and dance floor combo. Tammy ( owner of Ashley’s Backyard ) coordinated our wedding and she made sure Max and I didn’t have to worry about a thing of n our day. I give Ashley’s Backyard a million stars for the great atmosphere and hospitality!

Where do I start? This venue is amazing! My husband and I got married this last weekend at Ashley’s Backyard and it was everything we could have dreamed of. They facilitated every idea I had and made sure that every little detail was carried out perfectly. The mountains and sunset were the perfect background for our photos.
I loved being able to choose the vendors that I wanted to be able to make the most customized experience. We had a big mix of different people from different backgrounds so being able to choose our own vendors made the day truly ours.
Tammy and Rod were so attentive and were great with all communication leading up to the day of.
One of the things about Ashley’s Backyard that really made the evening was their staff! The bartenders were so kind and made the best drinks. I am about 7 1/2 months pregnant and no matter how many times I asked the bartenders for water they did it with a smile! The rest of the staff were so nice and helpful with whatever we needed also.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue owned and run by great people, this is where you need to be! I can’t say enough good things about Ashley’s Backyard.

Ashley's Backyard is an outstanding venue! My husband and I are blessed to have our for ever memories in this lovely place. Located in an amazing area where the beautiful sunset was part of the decoration. The owner Tammy became my best guide partner with the whole process, who cared so much for our big day to became our dream come true. She is very friendly and polite. She helped me in absolutely everything, from helping me find the right color of our theme and make sure we had comfort. She and her whole crew are such hard workers. The bar tenders were very friendly and helpful, looking to do their best to keep our guests happy at all times. Every part of the staff were always seeking to see how they could help, such a humble crew, they felt part of the family. I wish i could rate this venue with more that just 5 stars. This day is a perfect memorie for us and our most loved ones. There is no words to describe my feelings, I will cherish this day for ever.
Ashley's Backyard, Thank you for all your hard work!

Ashley’s backyard is amazing.. the mountains and the sunset make for amazing photos for any occasion especially a wedding. The Ramada is perfect for the dance floor and to be able to eat under the stars is perfect!! Ashley’s backyard is a 10 in my book!! I will be planning more parties there in the future..

Ashley’s Backyard was BEYOND AMAZING from the first second i booked it. Tammy and Rod listened to how my picky self wanted each detail. The went above and beyond to help make it all flow together and be perfect for the big day. From rehearsal, to setting up, to the ceremony, reception and tear down they were the greatest. Couldn’t ask for anything better!
