Colby Falls by Wedgewood Weddings

We scheduled a tour at Colby Falls by Wedgewood Weddings as a backup but as soon as we walked into the venue we both fell in love. From the beginning, the team was very helpful in finding a package that suited our wedding. Each meeting and details call went seamlessly. Working with the preferred vendors was an excellent experience and truly made the wedding planning process less stressful and more enjoyable. The entire staff at Colby Falls contributed to making our dream wedding day come true, beyond anything we could have imagined. Madison, our day-of coordinator, kept things on track and we were able to be fully present in our celebration. The chef and kitchen nailed the food! Everyone from the wedding including us (bride and groom) can't stop raving about what a beautiful setting and excellent experience this was. I will be recommending Wedgewood Weddings and Colby Falls specifically for anyone looking to host a wedding or event.

We had an amazing experience with Colby Falls. They made me feel comfortable every step of the way and always answered all of my questions and responded to my texts throughout the process. Their contracted vendors took a lot of the stress out of planning and we are so glad we chose an included venue! The day of was beautifully decorated and the night went more smoothly than I could have imagined! They catered to us and made sure everything went the way we envisioned. I would highly recommend Colby Falls and any of the Wedgewood Wedding venues!

I had the most incredible wedding experience at Colby Falls! From start to finish, the event staff and day-of coordinator were absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect. One of the things I loved most was the versatility of the venue. Having separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception allowed for a seamless flow, and it made our wedding feel so special and unique. We also received countless compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was. Overall, our wedding day was a dream come true, thanks to this venue and its exceptional team. I can't recommend them enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My son got married at Colby Falls in Gilbert on 9/3. I own a production company so I provided all of the decor, & audio visual elements for the wedding. I would like to share the pros/cons of booking at this venue for any potential couples to consider.The venue let us basically take over the ball room area.I brought in a live band w/ full production including back-line, lights, PA. I also brought in a LED Video wall, a 8x16 foot hedge wall, which I broke into 3 sections for signage & a selfie station. They had no problem with us setting up this much production. I created all of the centerpieces for the tables in the main ballroom,the cocktail hour, & the backdrop for the alter & sweet heart table. assume knowing that I myself was setting all of this up along with a team of people I hired was why I had very little help from the onsite event coordinators. They were kind to let us load in and begin set up the day before the Sunday wedding.They let us know at final payment, 10 days out, whether or not we could set up early.The official standard timeline given to us by the venue for set up was initially an hour & a half. This is not enough time at all if you have anything other than centerpieces.We were grateful for the extra time they gave us, but it was still a mad rush. Each time I needed anything from the venue I had to find the event coordinator. They were giving tours all day to potential couples while we were setting up for our wedding to begin that evening. All the tours stopped & asked me questions about the venue; this took up my time and it was kinda awkward having strangers wander through.I had a delivery come from the bakery. Before they arrived I needed all the stands for the dessert table to be sanitized. I was told by the event coordinator on site the banquet captain would be in, and she would clean and set up the dessert table. This did not happen. My friend I hired handled the entire dessert table when she couldn't find the banquet captain, & eventually got the EC to help her. If I didn't have my own person, I don't know what would have happened.All of the white chairs in the reception/main ballroom were dirty. My team went around with Clorox wipes before the reception and cleaned all the chairs. Thank goodness. The wood floor needed to be cleaned, but there was nothing I could do by the time I realized the onsite crew was not going to clean the floors. When I did my initial walk through I was told the tables were not finished, but nothing other than water glasses wer ever added to the place settings. I understand there were certain aspects the bride didn't order from the venue, but it was still never touched up, expect by my own crew.I was able to bring in beer to be served by the bartenders for the picky drinkers, since the open bar does not include any specialty beer. I gave very detailed instruction on this beer.I was trying to save myself the headache of my mother asking me where the "good beer" was. Instead I wanted to surprise her when she asked for it, that we got it for her.This did not happen, & the first thing I heard after I took the family photos and entered cocktail hour, was "where is the good beer?" from my mother. Fail. I was so sad. I advance every detail to avoid moments like this.This brings me back to the playlist for cocktail hour. My son was very particular on the playlist and spent months curating each song to be played in a specific order and emailed it to the DJ after his phone conversation.When the playlist was not being played one of the people I hired came to me and said the DJ said he was told "DJ's choice of 90's grunge." This was 100% not the case. I told my husband, who was trying to do a million other things, the DJ said he does not have our playlist, and by the time they were able to interface it was time for the grand entrance. Again, a failure on something that was completely advanced.Next, the lighting set in the main ballroom was way to bright. I asked over and over to get it turned down.The room was supposed to be moody. Every table had several flame-less candles.We also provided uplighting around the room. I could never get the lights overhead turned down which killed the mood I was trying to set.The main thing potential couples need to keep in mind is the Event Coordinator leaves at dinner service.She said the banquet captain would take over but I never met this person.The DJ flew through our timeline, & I even missed the cake cutting. As the mother of the groom this was a huge bummer obviously. Hire your own DJ, hire your own EC and hire a team or have friends/family help coordinate. Consider you are renting a clean slate & build from there.The one big thing the onsite EC did was line up the procession for the rehearsal & the ceremony.She was pleasant, but I had to hunt her down when I needed things.The food was good. The bathrooms were nice. Guest seemed to have a good time.

We loved our wedding day at Colby falls it was beautiful and perfect! We will absolutely send people their way and if we do a vow renewal we will definitely use them again! The service was excellent!
