Reviewed On 3/21/2021 by Jennifer T
This review is so long overdue and I could never write enough good things about my experience with the Boulders. This venue literally saved my wedding. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and only 7 days before our new, rescheduled date, the...
original venue essentially said it couldn’t happen. The Boulders swooped in, on a one week notice, and completely 100% pulled off our dream wedding. They took all of the stress of the crazy situation off of my shoulders and assured me that they would take care of everything. They took all of our ideas and plans and simply made it happen. Instead of asking us to review & choose from their menu, they literally took the menu we had planned and made it. There was nothing that they couldn’t make happen. Aside from their incredible work to pull together our wedding, The Boulders itself is breathtaking. I can’t imagine a more beautiful backdrop than Promise Rock, and the sunset from the ballroom deck had all of our guests talking. Our pictures are breathtaking and the grounds are so versatile. The food was so delicious that we made room for seconds and people are still talking about it 4 months later. Greater than everything I’ve already written, are the people at the Boulders. Let me assure you, every single person on staff here will make each of your guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. For example, I had a young cousin from out of state who arrived around 3am after her flight before the big day. She was met at the gate by name and cheerfully greeted “we’ve been expecting you!” I still have chills thinking about our wedding day and there is no doubt in my mind that the reason our big day was a such a success is due to their hard work and heart. Thank you to the Boulders, and an especially huge shout out to Erin and Harold.

We got married at the Boulders on March 17th 2017. Our ceremony was at Promise Rock and the reception was at the Duck Pond (I promise I will add photos to this review in the near future). My husband knew about the Boulders and I agreed to have ...
our wedding their sight unseen, based on his glowing review. Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. We have zero complaints and wish we could relive the day over and over again. The weather was absolutely perfect and both venues were stunning. Neither of us lived in the state so for us it was a destination wedding. There were 48 guests (but of course they can hold much more than that). We still get feedback from our guests saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to (which feels great, haha). Because it’s a very expensive time of year to visit Arizona, we wanted to make sure our guests were taken care of with food and alcohol. The food was GREAT (and who ever leaves a wedding saying that!?) and we opted for an open bar. The Boulders staff made everything so simple and wonderful, which is a huge plus for a bride, especially an out of state bride. We used their recommendations for photographers and hair and makeup, so they knew the venue well already. The Boulders is so beautiful, especially this time of year, so you can go as basic as you want with decorations or glam it up- just depends on what you want and your budget. The ONLY decorations I had- and I mean ONLY – were the centerpieces, which I made the night before. My sister in law brought mason jars she already had, I bought twine, and we went to Ralph’s and bought Baby’s Breath flowers for $4 a bunch. We put the flowers in a jar, tied a twine bow on and that was that! People kept second guessing my decision but the day of, they truly were the perfect complement to the desert, golf course and pond. So that’s how simple you can go! We were also fortunate enough to rent a house for our stay, which was massive and just unreal. My husband and I stayed there (except the night of our wedding and I stayed with a gf on the property the night before, hehe), along with my maid of honor and her husband and the ring bearer, my husband’s best man and one of his other best friends. If you can do this, I would highly recommend it. It just added to the convenience, experience and memories. Anyone else who could stay there LOVED it- having the pools and spa and gym and golf carts and walking trails to their disposal was incredible; it was like a vacation for everyone and that’s truly what we wanted. Again…everyone is STILL raving. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the wedding coordinators and all other staff. HIGHLY recommend a wedding here!

we contacted Erin she made the process of wedding planning stress free and enjoyable. From the breath taking views to the amazing staff we could not be happier with our experience with The Boulders.

My son and daughter were married here in October 2017. The wedding was at Promise Rock and the reception at the Latilla ballroom. While we had a rough start in the early planning stages in the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017 ...
due to staff turnover, once Corissa McDermott took over as our wedding planner and Erin Donovan as our room coordinator, everything was FANTASTIC. They were both very responsive to my questions and in most cases able to give me what I asked for. The wedding rehearsal and day of set up was handled easily. The coordination of wedding day activities from early morning through the evening reception was beautifully done. Corrissa was very patient and calm dealing with our large wedding party. I had very good reviews from our guests about the dinner entrees served at the reception and they made a special dinner tor the gluten free groom. As an event planner of 20 years I know how things should done and I think The Boulders Resort did a five star event for us.

My experience working with the Boulders resort for my wedding has been terrible. The reason we chose to book here is because we felt we would receive 5 star service which has been far from the case. The turnover of employees at this property ...
is ridiculous so one person tells you something and then the next time you hear something else from a new person. it is no wonder the information is inconsistent. There is no getting ready area for the bridal party or groomsmen so you are forced to purchase an area for them to get ready or they must get ready in their rooms however not all of our party is staying at the resort so we were not able to do that. They gave us a wedding block quoted price and then my family found you could book online for the same price. I informed them of this and immediately their prices were updated higher. then they tried to deny the room block price they offered and I had to find the email where they sent this to me to PROVE to them they had quoted me a price they quoted. then they seemed annoyed at me that they had to give me this price. we were only allowed 2 entrée tastings and when we did not like one of the entrees we were told we were not able to schedule another tasting to try another. we are serving 250-400 people at our wedding for $175 a person. I am not sure why another food tasting would have been a problem but apparently it was too much for this resort. We have been given constant contradictory information from multiple parties involved. they do not have one person who coordinates which forces you to speak with each department separately and when the people working in those departments are constantly changing it is very hard for anyone to know what is going on with your wedding. I agree with the other review on here that if you want a 5 star resort for your wedding book at a resort that will provide you with the 5 star service you deserve on your wedding day. I would NEVER recommend this venue and It depresses me that now that we have guests booked at the resort and near the area already for the wedding we are stuck with this venue. I am extremely disappointed in the service at this venue. They have ZERO appreciation for their customers. we specifically reserved double rooms in our block and they did not honor that. the whole experience has been ridiculous. I do hope they clean up their act because the property is gorgeous.

n area (Clubhouse banquet room/patio) to the little details like napkin colors and shuttling guests from one area to the next. The summer before the hotel was going through renovations and they were very clear about what was been done, when it would be complete and what locations would be available for the wedding and reception. The meal was even better than the food tasting and the cake was included (nice to not have to worry about another vendor). They were also easy to work with on some minor menu adjustments. We received early check-in and late check out. By the time the wedding day came, I had no worries at all and as noted earlier, the day was perfect! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Before you book The Boulders for your wedding, I hope you'll consider my brief story as a bride: I booked a stay at the hotel on May 1 for my wedding night in September 2016. I called in August to request an early check-in so I could get read...
y at the resort. Turned out they had NO record of my reservation. What’s more, they wouldn’t honor the price I paid in May, told me I was out of luck on the cost ($300), and said they couldn’t do anything for me. They rebooked me for $70 more than the original cost (forget about the early check-in, they said, too). The third party that I made the reservation with went out of business, so I’m now left trying to get the money back through American Express. Absolutely no offer of help from The Boulders. So before you book at The Boulders, you might want to know they are very far from the premiere property they claim to be. They don’t care a bit about their customers, clearly – even on your wedding night. You're better off choosing a true five-star property like Four Seasons or The Ritz-Carlton. Such a disappointment from a place I truly expected more from.
