Read a lot of really great reviews prior to choosing this venue, so we had high hopes for this! Before getting into the negative, it's worth noting that April was an absolute pleasure to work with and definitely knows what she's doing with regard to planning a reception. When April was present (until about dinner-time) things ran flawlessly.
Unfortunately, we ran into roughly 16 significant issues ranging from rude waiters to a disruptive event next door to ours. These issues made our reception very cumbersome to host. Many of the issues we presented to April (and her bosses) were issues that showed a lack of communication. As a result, we asked for a refund of 25% of our $7k bill. In return, April and her bosses scheduled a call with us to review each of our issues (in depth) and provided explanations and, in some cases, excuses for the issues.
I've planned many events, many much larger than my wedding reception, and the amount of issues we encountered was significant. That said, after this long conversation, they agreed to provide us with a 10% refund, as they felt that they fulfilled their part of the contract. While April was great and the venue is beautiful, I couldn't recommend this place to anyone in need of a smoothly running event.

I love Double Tree. Especially the cookies. But when I checked in, I didn't get one. I was devastated!
My new mother-in-law grabbed one for me, so all is right with the world!
In all seriousness, Jennifer Bruce was so helpful and knowledgable when it came to booking rooms, planning the rehearsal dinner and helping with guest needs.
Really appreciated all the care we received. Thanks
Any questions?

The venue was close to our house, so we decided to drive by and see if they had our date available. After seeing the beautiful venue, we booked it!
The coordinator, April, was extremely friendly, approachable, and helpful! She answered all of my emails and phone calls within a day, and she was totally organized and professional.
The food was AMAZING, and my husband and I got to eat because their service was so fast at our reception!
The day before the wedding, my mom and I brought our table settings, and April and her entire crew set up everything for us. The night of the reception, they took everything down and boxed it up for us after it was over.
Everything went smoothly, and we felt well taken care of.

The DoubleTree is a beautiful place to get married. The outdoor courtyard is perfect for weddings with a fireplace, water fountain and natural arbor that blooms in the spring. The courtyard adjoins a good sized reception hall. The staff were attentive and kind and the food was excellent. April, the wedding planner and catering manager is amazing. She takes time to get to know the bride and groom and makes sure every detail is tended to. Our wedding was gorgeous and a lot of fun thanks to the DoubleTree.
The hotel rooms are really nice too and you receive a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie when you check in.

I honestly could not have imagined a more wonderful place to get married. At first I was a bit worried that the hotel conference center may have been a bit generic. However at SanTan Elegante I felt like the most special bride.
Several aspects of my wedding were DIY and was able to set-up/drop-off things in advance and the staff placed it out for me on the day of the wedding.
The food was amazing. I would say the food at the tasting was good but for the actual event it was fabulous.
The staff is so professional and courteous. They remind me of servers at 5 star restaurants. The bar staff was even able to do mixologist quality signature cocktails with herbs and muddled cucumber.
April is the glue that holds the magic together.
At the last minute (literally the day before) our flowers fell completely through and I didn’t even have a bouquet. April waved her magic wand and by the next day she had coordinated through a preferred vendor the most beautiful arrangements I’ve ever seen (better than what we originally had planned).
She elevates the double tree weddings from hotel events to the best day of your life. My family adores her and we just can’t thank her enough for everything!
If you’re on the fence, you should defiantly get married at Elegante…. you won’t regret it!

The San Tan Elegante was more than accommodating to my husband and I during our wedding planning process. April is the absolute best and helped us through the whole process! She made everything easier on us and made sure our day was perfect. I could not have asked for someone better to help us make our day exactly what we wanted. The wedding weekend turned out extraordinary, the entire staff was professional, pleasant, and exceeded all of our expectations. We definitely made the right decision choosing this venue. And thanks again to April!

I recently got married on Easter 2011. I found this venue by passing through and was on a very strict budget. It has just opened so they were kind and through alot of deals in as well as were willing to work with my budget. April the wedding coordinator for the venue was awesome. I am not the best planner and she made my life so easy! The place is gorgeous and the food was amazing! Loved our cook he was so nice and everyone loved the food. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because they planned an easter event in the same hall we were using that day and it was just cutting it to close. They didn't let my DJ in as well as my family could not set up until everyone was out. So it was rush time for an hour and we were disappointed because some of out stuff didn't get out cause it was forgotten or just not enough time. Its a new place so there a little quirks that need to be worked out but the place was beautiful, food amazing and they really do work with you. Loved it even with the quirks :)
