This venue is absolutely beautiful and very affordable. There are so many places for photo ops. We had the Falls for our small ceremony and it was perfect! The pricing was very straight forward. Communication is good, there were a few hiccups during planning due to our catering manager getting changed a couple of times. Our catering manager Judie Mouser was very great at making sure everything went smoothly and we appreciated her. I would definitely recommend this venue.

My primary reason behind the one star is due to communication or should I say lack thereof. I've been trying to reach someone at this venue for now two weeks. I messaged through the Knot, emailed directly, called the number on the Knot and directly to the hotel leaving a message with the Sales GM. To date I've received no response. The venue is beautiful and the reason why I've been trying so hard to reach somebody. Hopefully, my experience was a fluke and it will be better for others.

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your email. I apologize for the lack of response. It is defini...
tely not a normal occurrence! Unfortunately, due to the pandemic the sales office was extremely short staffed and some leads were missed. I just started as the new Senior Catering & Weddings Manager and will be going through leads and ensuring we respond to each and every lead. I'm sure you have already found your dream venue, but if you haven't, please email me directly and we'll check dates and see what we can do for you.
Warmest,
Stacey

We had our wedding two weeks ago at the Buttes on Earth Day! It was already the perfect spot b/c of how beautiful it already is!! We love the pool and the landscape and knew we wouldn't have to do much as far as decor to impress our many out of town guests! Not only was it the best day ever, but we worked with Lauren and her team, and well as many of the Buttes staff all over the property and they made everything happen effortlessly! Everything was amazing, not only for us but we heard from our guests as well! The food was great, our ready rooms and wedding night suite was superb, and our guests didn't want to leave. We would highly recommend getting married here, and can't wait to come back for staycations ourself!!

EVERYONE at the Buttes worked together to make our wedding day better then what we ever could've envisioned. And we are eternally grateful.
Starting with planning, the Buttes worked with our budget, keeping us on track with up-to-date spreadsheets and numbers. The Buttes team is a pleasure to work with, they felt like family by the time we reached our wedding day.
Between the coordinator Lauren and banquet manager Mary, all the fine details were under control. Everything from napkin folds, time agenda, vendor arrivals/pick-ups, and matches for our memorial candle. Mary even jumped in and bustled my dress before the grand entrance to our reception!
I haven't mentioned the food - we had family stay at the Buttes the entire weekend...people couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was, including the meal for our wedding.
We will be forever grateful to everyone at the Buttes for helping to create the most perfect, magical wedding day. Do yourself a favor and pay the Buttes a visit to experience the views, resort feel, and top-notch staff.

Our Wedding at The Buttes was absolutely wonderful. Chelle was our event coordinator and she was an absolute joy to work with. She answered all of our questions in a timely and professional manner throughout the planning process. She, along with the staff, did a great job of helping our vision come to life. We held our ceremony in the morning at the waterfall site and received a number of compliments from our guests about how beautiful the scenery was. Our reception was in the Tequila on the Rocks room and was the perfect size for our guests. The view from the room was incredible and enhanced the decor of the room. We opted for a lunch buffet and all of the food was truly amazing. The waitstaff even used some of our leftover decor and made displays for the serving area which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this venue. It was a fantastic value with breathtaking views.

Sloane Hansen and her team were excellent and exceeded our expectations at every level during the planning process and the actual event. It was perfect in all respects and we did nothing on our wedding day but enjoy the moment; everything else was handled by Sloane and her team.
Thanks

Our daughter’s wedding was held at Marriott/Phoenix/Tempe at the Buttes on November 2, 2013. Our interaction with Sloane Hanson as the Wedding Planner was excellent. We, as Melissa’s parents, were extremely impressed with her professionalism, and her careful attention to every detail. Ms. Hanson was available on November 2, 2013, for the entire length of our event. She also was present on Sunday for our brunch, even though we are aware that Sunday is her day off. She graciously handled every detail to make sure every one of our guests was comfortable. Thank you for providing Ms. Sloane Hanson; she is an asset to the Marriott.
Shawn Burton Assistant Front Office Manager was extremely helpful during our stay. We found all employees at the front desk to be gracious and willing to address our needs and the needs of our guests. It was a pleasure to work with everyone at the Buttes and we will always have wonderful memories of a beautiful weekend.

We had the best experience at the Buttes from the early planning stages to our wedding weekend events including our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and Sunday brunch, with each event taking place at a different unique location within the resort. Sloane Hansen, our coordinator at the Buttes was a joy to work with. She always had timely answers, suggestions, recommendations, and an extremely outgoing personality. She made everything possible and easy! My guests were impressed by the friendly and hospitable staff. We all agreed that the food was delicious and the presentation of it was outstanding! The natural beauty of the Buttes is one of a kind. We enjoyed the elegance of the resort while it also provided a fun and relaxing time. In fact, we extended our stay there to continue to enjoy ourselves one extra day! I would highly recommend the Buttes to anyone that wants to share in a wonderful time with their guests and have the perfect wedding.

We had the most amazing wedding and ceremony at the Marriott Buttes. Most of our guests came from out of town so we wanted to provide them with an experience they would really enjoy. The weekend at The Buttes was so wonderful and all of the guests, including my husband and I felt very special. Sloane was our wedding planner and she was so accommodating and easy to work with. By the end of the wedding I felt like she was a close friend! Everyone really enjoyed the scenery and atmosphere The Buttes provided and are begging us to do it all over again for our one year anniversary! Everything was perfect and there isn't one thing I would change about the entire experience, except for maybe making time freeze so it could've lasted longer! Thank you to Sloane and her fabulous team for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

We were very happy with our selection of The Buttes for our wedding. It's just in such beautiful setting and was more budget friendly than some of the places I looked into near Camelback. Sloane, the event coordinator, is also wonderful to work with. She is very quick to answer any questions that you may have and is willing to help you out in any way she can. There were several other weddings going on the weekend we got married and I still felt like she gave us the time and attention that we needed. We had our ceremony on the waterfall deck which was just a beautiful back drop and our reception and cocktail hour at Tequila on the Rocks (located below Top of the Rock). We were originally going to have the reception in a small section of the Market Café, but once Sloane had our final guest count she asked us about moving it to Tequila on the Rocks where we’d have a little more room. We came back in and looked over the space and decided to move it and were very happy we did. It was a great suggestion on her part. We couldn’t have been happier with choosing The Buttes for our day!

As the mother of the bride I was so happy with the beautiful wedding reception that all came together so effortlessly at The Tempe Buttes. Working with Sloane Hansen was such a pleasure. She made all my daughter's wedding dreams come true. When I walked into the Top of the Rock, I was amazed at the transformation. The room took my breath away. It was the perfect setting for the reception. The views of the city were spectacular which just added to the drama of the night. The wait staff was always very attentive and everything, right down to the serving of the cake, went off perfectly and on time!!

Sloane was wonderful. She is the wedding coordinator at the Buttes and very helpful, especially with all the little details. I had my wedding at the Top of the Rock, a restaurant, and the view was beautiful! It was just what my husband and I wanted. The food was delicious and all my guest raved about my wedding. It was perfect :)

My husband and I recently got married at The Buttes and I can only say amazing things about them!! From the wedding coordinator Sloan Hansen to the staff and everyone who took care of us from day one of choosing The buttes to have our ceremony and reception there to the day it happened was the best experience we could of had. I went in with the crazy nerves a bride has on choosing the location and being confident about it and i was extremely impressed with the knowledge Sloane had in knowing where to find a good florist, a good minister or pastor, and food,ideas, and was so open to letting us do things that we wanted to as well. Not only did they offer the things i wanted they let us go above and beyond to bring things in that we custom made and was so helpful with everything. I have only good things to say about our experience and if anyone is looking for a classy yet fun and crazy place.. this is the place!! Also the food was AMAZING and the 115 people that attended our wedding had amazing things to say about the dinner and the service!! I am so glad we chose to have our wedding there and so excited to go back to hang out and enjoy the hotel as well! They take amazing care of you and i recommend them to EVERYONE!!! Thanks again Sloane and The Buttes for the best experience we could of had!!!

Sloane and the Marriott Buttes did an amazing job for our wedding. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting to the beginning of our future as husband and wife. From beginning to end Sloane and the Marriott Buttes made the entire process of organizing and planning seamless. They really took care of us and made everything so enjoyable. We had a lot of guests in from out of town and they could not stop raving about the wonderful service they received from the moment they checked in. The wedding itself was more than we ever could have imagined. Every detail was accounted for and we had an amazing party that our guests are still talking about to this day. I would recommend them over and over again!

It has been over a year since my wife and I got married at The Buttes here in Phoenix, AZ and I still get compliments on our wedding day. Everything from the venue we chose to the phenomenal dinner we decided on, how flawless the ceremony ran, and how professional the service was (from the time our guests arrived till check out the next day).
I am normally NOT the person to sit down and write a review of anything online much less fill out even a short survey, but this time is worth it! I always feel you get what you pay for, regardless of the situation, and I can attest weddings are expensive! However, Sloane Hansen at The Buttes made the whole process extremely simple and FUN at the same time. Everyone will always tell you, “This is a one-time event!” Or “You only get married once, so spend the extra dollar!” I truly felt I was not spending “extra” money for our wedding day because every dollar we spent was 1,000 times worth it. Just the ceremony site, professionalism of the Marriot staff, and Sloane’s organization alone, were worth every penny!
Everything we expected the Marriot to handle…they did. The requirements of Sloane as our Wedding coordinator were surpassed. Above all, our anticipation of a lavish top notch resort catered wedding weekend was far exceeded!
One key item to note: The marriage is for the bride and groom, however; the “wedding show” is for all your guests. With that being said I can guarantee each and every guest of ours would agree with what was mentioned above!

My husband and I stayed at The Buttes the weekend he proposed back in April of 2011. There was a wedding going on that weekend and we both thought how great it would be to get married there. Several months later, after we starting putting our wedding budget together, we just assumed The Buttes would be way out of our price range because of how lavish the resort was, so we didn’t immediately consider them for our venue. About 5 months before our wedding, the venue we thought we were going to use was not working well with us on the hotel room rate for our out of town guests, so we went back to square one and started looking again. Obviously I was very frustrated at this point, which my husband could see, so he picked up the phone and called The Buttes. During that initial phone call, he found out that our date was available and they confirmed a much lower room rate for our guests. Knowing that, we immediately set up an appointment to meet with Sloane. During our meeting with her, not only did she match, and in some cases beat, the prices from the other venue, she exceeded the quality and quantity of what they were offering. She made everything so easy to understand, and was also very comforting and assuring about what they could do for our wedding. From that moment until our wedding day, she was always available whenever we needed something. Some of my family members had issues getting their rooms booked, and she said “just direct them straight to me and I will take care of it”. Which she did. At this point Sloane was more like a family friend rather than our wedding coordinator!
Come wedding day, April 6th 2012, everything was perfect. The trees and flowers at the pool ceremony location were beautifully in bloom just as Sloane had promised. She did an amazing job orchestrating the moments leading up to the ceremony, which can be difficult when you’re dealing with a large wedding party like ours! Everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, and in my eyes all was calm and smooth. For the reception, the hall was beautiful. It was everything I had told Sloane I wanted, and more. But most importantly, the food was outstanding. We received so many comments from our guests that night, and several months after, on how pleased they were with the meal. I would say that is one of the things that was most remembered by our guests. We chose to do a buffet, and because we were getting married on Good Friday, the chef really worked with us to come up with wonderful selections that would cater to everyone.
All said and done, based on how great our experience was with The Buttes, I would highly recommend choosing them for your wedding venue. Sloane and her team really went above and beyond to make our day special and memorable.

Our day was Amazing!! We celebrated our day with 50 of our closest family and friends. Our big day started with our guest being served drinks and hor dourves on the Market Cafe Patio while the wedding party was taking a few pictures. Just before the wedding was to start, our guest were escorted to the Water Fall Deck where the ceremony was to be held. The 5th floor bridge walkway provides a beautiful setting for my bride to walk down. Very Romantic!! More pictures were taken on the Marriott property after the wedding during the sunset. The reception was held at Tequila on the Rocks (at the facility). Great place to have a meal and dance!
We received many comments from our guests about how they enjoyed the Marriott. Everything from the rooms to the food to the pools and hot tubs.
We used all of the recommend partners of the Marriott (Officiant, DJ, Flowers, Cake) and were very happy with all of them.
The Marriott can also accommodate much bigger parties as well.
We recommend the Marriott at The Buttes to those couples looking for a great wedding experience for themselves and their guests.

Wes and I had our wedding pool side at the Marriott Buttes in Tempe on 04-06-13. We worked with Sloane Hansen to coordinate our wedding. Sloane was absolutely amazing in the way she handled everything. The wedding was absolutely flawless and beautiful. She worked so hard to work with our budget and to meet our needs. She was there for every single step from beginning to end We stayed the whole weekend (along with some of our guests). The staff at the resort was so great to us, and made sure our stay was perfect. Every single aspect of our experience with The Buttes has been a 10, and we will always return to remember our special day, and to have fun at the pool. Thank you for running a top notch facility!

Sloane was our wedding planner/coordinator, she was simply the best. She made our wedding planning and day run so smoothly. A few days before the wedding she had my bring everything to her, and my family and I didn't have to lift one finger. Sloane and her Buttes staff did everything we asked and every accommodation was completed, above and beyond. Sloane and her staff were truly invested in our wedding.
The food was amazing! We got numerous compliments on the food served at our dinner. The chef has so much to offer, its NOT NORMAL WEDDING FOOD! :)
Must mentioned, a few days after we were ready to check out the bell hop guys congratulated us. I was so thankful for all they had done for us throughout our wedding weekend, I hugged them.
I highly recommended The Buttes in Tempe!
