We’re so happy we booked Desert View for our wedding! The entire team is very personable and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. Chastity was amazing and always responded so quickly when I had a question come up. The vendors they assigned to us were great as well, especially Brandi our day of coordinator. The venue itself is beautiful and turned out even better than the pictures!

This venue is absolutely beautiful and that has nothing on the members of the team here. They were absolutely amazing.
Russell is personable and so easy to work with.
Chastity and Katia saved our wedding meal with their fast acting solutions and ordering.
This team and venue are amazing, I would highly suggest getting married here. We have had an insane amount of compliments about the views itself but also the cleanliness and space.
it was perfect! Book before your day is booked :)

We recently had our wedding at Desert View, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The venue's stunning natural backdrop provided the perfect setting for our special day. From the breathtaking views of the desert landscape to the impeccable service provided by the staff, every detail was meticulously taken care of. Each staff member we came in contact with was so friendly, responsive, and understanding. The venue was clean and in pristine condition. Our guests were in awe of the beauty surrounding us, and we couldn't have asked for a more magical experience. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than Desert View.

I just planned a wedding for my client's at Desert View. Not only are the mountain views beautiful, but so is this venue. DV just officially opened in January and you can tell they took their time to make sure every detail is perfect. Chastity was the venue manager for the day of and it was a blast working alongside her. She not only made sure the bride and groom were having the best wedding day, but checked in with all vendors throughout to make sure we had what he needed. My team and I would love to work with her and the rest of the DV team again. Highly recommend!!

I cannot say enough nice things about DV! We booked them in January of 2023 before the venue was built. The venue exceeded our expectations! Everything was so beautiful! The contacts were easy to get ahold of and responded in a timely manner. The facility was stunning, especially for a spring wedding! The only wish I have is that I had a Time Machine so I could go back in time and relive that perfect day!

Do not hesitate to book Desert View as your wedding venue!!! My daughter and fiancé decided that this was THE place when it was still a dirt lot. I was more skeptical. However, through the ups and downs of construction and numerous visits to the property, I found one consistent thread- the caring and committed staff. Russell and his amazing team did everything in their power to ensure that our wedding was all that my daughter hoped it would be - AND it was!!!
Additionally, I found Russell to be an honest and fair businessman that listens to his clients and anticipates solutions to possible concerns. There is a HEART in this business that was refreshing to work with!

We found DVW&E in early 2022 when the venue was nothing more than a dirt lot and a dream. We fell head over heels for the digital mockups they had posted on their website, and we just knew it was going to be our spot. We had an interesting time with the booking process, as we originally were planning for April 2023, then had to move to Sept 2023 because of construction issues, and then again backed up a few weeks into October to be safe for further construction issues. You would think this would be a problem, and sure it was stressful! But Russell communicated all of the potential issues upfront and always made time to talk with me through all of the back up options and worst case scenario plans. Our "worst case" did happen - the venue was not finished by our wedding date. Again - you'd think this would be a problem, but Russell did everything in his power to still make it the best night of our lives. Truthfully we wanted to do most of the evening outside anyways, because of the stunning views we fell in love with. So we all put our heads together a week before the wedding to pull it off without the use of the event center, and it was still perfect!! I can only imagine that the venue will get even better with time, so I highly recommend booking with them! The staff are all so kind and work hard to make your wedding perfect - our day of coordinator at the venue even had to step in and run our rehearsal when my wedding planner's flight got canceled, and she was amazing throughout the weekend. We will forever be glad we chose and stuck with Desert View, as the evening was so beautiful and I knew we had the entire team behind us making everything come together despite the last minute challenges.
