As a wedding photographer, I love working with Forest highlands! Beautiful venue and amazing staff! Highly recommend!
We had our wedding ceremony here 10/21/23. They were not the easiest to communicate with leading up to the wedding, but the day of went super well. I was lucky to have a wedding p...
lanner/coordinator so I didn’t have to worry too much about that. The bridal suite is very nice and large. The ceremony site was gorgeous and our pictures came out exactly how we envisioned them due to this! It helps that we had absolutely perfect weather, but even if we hadn’t I know it would have been beautiful.
My daughter got married at Forest Highlands on September 30,2023. It was the most amazing experience. Karen and her staff are incredible to work with and went the extra mile to m...
ake sure that this wedding was what my daughter had always dreamed of. The food was outstanding. The wait staff second to none. We had a slight mix up with an outside vendor who we rented additional furniture and chairs from. They just dropped off and did not set up wha
t we ordered. Evem though it was not their job, the staff at Forest Highlands helped us out by taking on the set up. I cannot say enough about our experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Jordan and Thomas Trupo;s wedding a once in a lifetime experience.
We had our wedding at Forest Highlands October 2018 and it was beautiful. The food was really good and everyone had a great time. They have plenty of parking for guests and several...
different ceremony and reception sites for different styles. Our ceremony was supposed to be completely outside and our reception was inside. It was pretty cold and they were very accommodating and were able to change the ceremony to be partially inside to make our guests more comfortable. Their food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. It had an upscale country club type of vibe while still having all the beautiful Flagstaff scenery. It was a really nice blend of rustic and elegant which is exactly what we were looking for. We don’t live in Arizona and when we only had a 1-2 day slot to do our tasting in July, they were able to squeeze us in even though they were having a large golf tournament. They were very accommodating through the whole planning process. Overall, we’re very happy we chose Forest Highlands and our guests had a great time.
So these other reviews are pretty old, and I think the Forest Highlands events staff has completely changed since these were written. We just had our wedding last Saturday at the F...
orest Highlands Meadow Clubhouse, and everything went PERFECTLY. We got married on the event lawn, had cocktail hour on the patio, and had our reception inside the dining room. Karen, the venue coordinator, is incredibly responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect day. The food was delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had so many guests tell us that it was the coolest spot for a wedding. We also had a kid's room in the Meadow Recreation Room, and Karen arranged for sitters and for kids meals to be served in that room. My parents also had brunch the next day at the Canyon Clubhouse, and Karen and her team took all of the flowers and decor from the wedding and re-purposed them for decorations that morning without us even asking. It looked great! Getting married at FH was so fun and so special.
I wanted to look at the venue very bad. I emailed and finally got a response. I am from out of town and was in the area and attempted to call to get in (since it is a private locat...
ion with a gate and security) they refused to let me in and I left a voicemail which no one ever called back. You would think they would want the business.
Communicating with the event coordinator was also difficult. Living in a different time zone made phone calls difficult and emails often went unanswered. My MIL handled much of the...
communication and even that was tough at times. We had decided to do without a champagne toast and told that to the coordinator. Seconds after our best man finished his speech, the coordinator came to my husband and told him that since we jumped the gun and did our toasts so quickly, they didn't have time to pass out the champagne so we wouldn't be charged for it. How thoughtful.
The day before, my husband helped Taylor, an amazing assistant, set-up the reception room. However, that afternoon at the ceremony site, no one seemed to know who we were or where we were supposed to be. Andrew, the most amazing intern, managed to turn my tears into laughter and helped us through the rehearsal outside. I 100% believe that our experience would have been completely negative without these two people.
The biggest issue we had was that we were told there was a second room we could use in the event of rain. (Knowing Flagstaff, that really sold us on this site.) Fast-forward a year, it's cloudy, cold, and rainy. As we were in the locker rooms getting ready, I was told that the room they promised us was booked and that we'd have to use our reception site if we wanted to move the ceremony inside.
Overall, a beautiful place, but they really need to work on their communication and coordination.
They were great to work with. The venue was amazing and had great views. The food was awesome i even had older kids talking about how the chicken fingers were the best they ever ha...
