Superstition Manor

but the North Villa had a noticeable sewage smell that made it really uncomfortable to be in. To make matters worse, one of the chairs I was given was visibly dirty—definitely not what you'd expect at a formal event. The food, while decent once it finally arrived, took an incredibly long time to be served. It felt like the entire reception was on hold waiting for dinner.

on exactly!! She was so responsive throughout the entire process. From booking to day of, she always responded to my texts quickly and was organized, professional, kind, and patient when I wanted to change things!! Dinner service was spot on as well. I was worried because we had a larger wedding and didn’t want people to wait around/be bored but the staff did amazing! The large bridal suites are GREAT and we loved that we were able to be there the entire day. The guys had a blast with the poker table and ping pong. Everyone keeps telling us how great our venue/overall wedding was and we are SOOO glad we booked The Barn at Superstition Manor.

many choices for linen/plates/napkins/signs. There are also 3 venue spots to chose from depending on the type of wedding/guest count. A HUGE bonus is that you can be in the bridal and groom suites ALL DAY! All of us got ready with champagne and fun. The grooms side even had a poker table, bar, and pool table. the brides side had a massive area to get our hair done and then a whole area to watch TV and goof around. 10/10 best venue we looked at! The only part I was bummed about was that we switched point-of-contacts three times because of venue job changes. (We were bummed because the guy we did our initial walkthrough with was awesome). BUT we ended up having Shayla as our venue coordinator and she was amazing. Highly recommend!

g from catering, bar, decor, and a planner. This makes the planning process so easy! In addition, our planner, Anna Rubio, did such an amazing job making our vision come through! She had great customer service and made everything the day of (and before) go smoothly. She handles everything for you to remove any stress! Not just Anna, but the staff is all great. Dinner came out quickly and clean up was a breeze. The bartender as so friendly and everyone was happy with the drinks and how the food tasted. This is an amazing option if you are looking to get married in the Mesa/East valley area!

the ceremony, 2. Enough space to fit 250+ guests, 3. A solid open bar package, 4. Beautiful experience from the minute you get out of the parking lot, and 5. Spacious getting ready space with a private bathroom for the bridal suite. Superstition Manor had this and so much more. A major selling point to us was the fact that they had a whole trove of decor for us to use. They provided tablecloth, napkins, chargers, some florals, tables, easels, and so much more. On top of this all- they also provided a Teacher Discount! They have wonderful Venue Planners that you get paired with, and we absolutely loved Kacey. She was incredibly helpful and patient with us as we went through the planning process. She was always a text away throughout this process, which was such a reassurance. The day of, the wedding went so smooth. We had access to the venue from as early as 8:00 am until the end of the wedding. We had Kacey and another coordinator helping us with our timing, being prepared, giving us reminders, adjusting the AC inside, and organizing the vendors. What truly set them apart for my husband and I was the fact that after the ceremony, my husband and I disappeared to sign the marriage license. During this time, our coordinators made helped me bussle my dress (which was quite the tasks) and, more importantly, made sure we were given food and drinks so that way we didn't have to venture into the cocktail hour before we were ready. They even ran and got us seconds. The staff was so attentive, friendly, and helpful. Even at the end of the wedding, they helped us load up the decor that we brought into our cars. After the wedding, we got so much feedback on how smoothly the wedding ran, how beautiful the venue was, and how delicious the food was. We have very little complaints- one being that we had participated in a donation drive with the venue and were told we would receive a free marquee "LOVE" sign for our wedding day, which did not make it out on the day of. Of course, between the business of the day and all our other decor, we did not even notice that this was missing, so it really wasn't a big deal for us at all. Another small complaint that we had, was that during the cocktail hour, we heard the bar line got a bit backed up between the number of guest to bartenders. This was quickly fixed once the reception started. Very minor complaints that did not negatively impact our experience at all! All in all, Superstition Manor was the perfect place for our wedding. Between the support of the staff, beauty of the venue, and the all inclusive experience- you cannot go wrong with choosing this venue.

day of the event, dropped the cake, and went upstairs to get ready (also MOH). I came down half way through getting ready for a safety pin and found that Michelle (one of the wedding coordinators employed by the venue and assigned to my friend) had decided to add a massive amount of flowers by pressing them into the buttercream on the cake. When I asked her who did this, she stated one of the moms had said it was needed, so she placed them on. I walked upstairs and spoke to the parents, both of whom stated they hadnt seen the cake/desserts yet. I then proceeded to try and fix the cake after she did this, which was virtually impossible. I have NEVER experienced such UNPROFESSIONALISM on behalf of the venue at such an event. It is never okay to change the cake (previously approved/commissioned by the bride/groom) on a whim and then LIE ABOUT IT!! Her actions were wildly UNACCEPTABLE and her unilateral decision to change the cake without speaking to the bride/groom/baker is an egregious overstep on her part. The final cake had been approved by the bride/groom the night before delivery and was requested to look the way it originally did. The cake then looked lumpy and became an insult to my time put into it, and a bad representation of the work I do. Michelle overstepped her boundaries and created unnecessary stress on the brides day, when she is literally paid to do the opposite. If you do a wedding at this beautiful location, I recommend you ask for a different coordinator.

l. I was not happy about that.

inclusive. It relieves so much stress when planning a wedding. They have so many decorations to choose from, a beautiful view, and beautiful place. The food and drinks were delicious. Krystin always answered my multiple texts with questions. Everything went smoothly! My only 2 "complaints" would be that- 1. it's off a sorta busy road, so loud cars driving by during the ceremony could happen; and 2. Because up to 3 weddings can happen on site on the same day, it limits where you can get your photos to a degree- we still got some beautiful shots but we had to wait a bit to get the shots we wanted by the fountain because the other wedding party was also getting photos. But for the price and service they provide, it was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them!

is very talented in what she does and knows how to give you a stress free day and fix any last minute issues! Michelle is someone we would highly recommend as a coordinator and this venue as well!!!

ng playlist that we asked for. All of our decor was beautiful though & everyone said they had a great time. Food & drinks were yummy!

text away to making sure we felt as stress free as possible. She helped make the day so smooth for us.

lify things. Their preferred vendors are amazing as well. Kacey was able to book a DJ for us last minute through their preferred vendor list! We booked the South Villa with 77 guests, and we still had enough space for everyone! She made everything so easy to plan and coordinate. The day of the wedding went so smoothly! I recommend the pulled pork sandwiches y’all! The decorations were beautifully done, she nailed the theme we wanted for our wedding with the Pinterest pictures we sent Kacey. I highly recommend this venue and Kacey! ❤️

ecor design day, to the week leading up was incredibly organized and so fun. Having someone like Shayla really helped take a lot of the stress off of wedding planning. We could not have asked for a more perfect team to carry out such a magical day💕 Highly recommend booking your wedding with this team!!!

assistance as she possibly could to make the process smooth. She was always able to work around our schedule to make scheduling the appointments easy for us. The day of the wedding, she was spot on with our vision of how we wanted our wedding to look. Having her as our coordinator allowed both my husband and myself to actually enjoy our wedding and take in the day. She made sure to check in on us throughout the night, saved us our appetizers so we could actually taste them, and kept us on schedule!! She was honestly the best thing about the venue. There are so many more wonderful things that could be said about her. If you are looking for a venue and coordinator, this is the place.

the way for our planning our wedding - and always available to answer my hundreds of questions, and always so eager to help! She ensured I didn't need to worry about the details on the wedding day, as that was her job. Delaney did all the decorating, and she has such amazing style. I showed her pictures of what I wanted, and she made it came to life. And we could borrow and use all of their decor, as that's part of the package! It was awesome that we didn't have to buy all that wedding stuff to use just for one day. So while we customized some things to make it our own, she went above and beyond to make our wedding what it was. It ran so smoothly, the food and drinks were amazing, the guests had SO much fun, and it really couldn't have been more perfect. The views at this venue are incredible, and the staff were all so happy and helpful. You can tell they love their jobs here. I would hands-down recommend them for a wedding. Thank you for everything, Delaney and SM team!!! We will forever remember our best day ever!

my vision come to life. Everything from the venue, to communications, to food and every tiny little detail in between was everything and more than we could have asked for our wedding! Thank you again so incredibly much!

s of places for gorgeous pictures!! It was the first venue that my husband and I visited and we ended up booking the same day because we were so impressed. Kacey, my wedding coordinator, was so kind, professional, and experienced! She was able to take all of the stress off of me and my now husband during our wedding weekend so we could just relax and enjoy it. She was patient with me as I changed my mind on decorations at least three times! She answered all of my questions promptly. On the day of I was blown away with how the venue looked for my wedding. Everything looked so beautiful!! Thank you so much Kacey and thank you to Superstition Manor!!!!

was friendly and attentive. All our guest kept saying how amazing the venue is and how friendly all the staff was. I wouldn't have changed anything! Thank you Superstition Manor you all are amazing!!!

spooky beautiful dream wedding. Thank you, Kacey

bride)! We worked with Bri as our coordinator and we COULD NOT speak highly enough of her! She was so easy going and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The food was great (only complaint was guests that were served last received luke warm food - but I can't blame Superstition Manor considering we had almost 200 mouths to feed). The decor to choose from when designing your table settings and decorations is like walking through a Hobby Lobby storage room and the getting ready suits were clutch to have the day of! The one and only reason I took away one star in this glowing review is that we paid for the top-shelf bar package and had a number of our guests let us know that if they went to a specific bar tender and didn't ask for the top-shelf liquor, they didn't get it. This was the only disappointment we experienced from our whole journey with Superstition Manor, and we even feel it may have just been a slight communication mishap on behalf of the staff that evening. I would certainly, without a doubt recommend Superstition Manor to everyone and anyone I know!

s, value, service and the overall grounds. Upon initial contract reviews we even stated that we had a specific budget in mind and they were willing to work with our comfort levels! Having that family owned business aspect makes the manor feel like you are just that while planning, family. We selected the Barn, which is a newly built gem that sits behind the original manor - it is truly stunning and was equipped with everything we could have envisioned for our big day. General FYI's include: Food is catered through the venue and there is a multitude of selections you can choose from to the build plates you would like to see on your wedding. Liquor is also offered and managed on site, depending on which beverage plan you have selected. The venue offers "preferred" vendors for select services, which typically include discounted rates which is really great. All of the necessities are included such as - tables, chairs, table settings, linens and decorative items for the ceremony & reception. And there are PLENTY of options to cater to any couple's style. Parking and space is no issue but a few of our guests did have a little trouble ordering ubers because of the location so please encourage them to pre-book their ride shares! Finally, to Bri - our coordinator. Words cannot explain how thankful we were to have such a diligent, friendly, dedicated and sweet person by our side during this process. From our planning meetings leading up to the very last step on wedding day, Bri made us feel so incredibly well taken care of that we had absolutely no worries on our wedding day. I am personally an over planner and had big dreams for my big day, but Bri made me feel as if no question was too crazy and no task was out of reach. To say the least, everything that I had envisioned for my wedding was executed flawlessly and every detail (big or small) was delicately placed or handled exactly as I had hoped. Our family and friends were very impressed by her willingness to assist, answer questions or just simply be the supporting figure we needed. Thank you, Bri! -The Hansings

hat we were able to enjoy our day with no added stress.

perfect night! The Barn was decorated so beautifully for us and it’s all thanks to BRI!!!!😍 She was such an amazing coordinator from the start and she absolutely brought our vision to life! She was always so prompt and helpful-She accommodated every request and always did it with a huge smile on her face. Planning a wedding during COVID seemed impossible at times but Bri and all of the staff members managed to mitigate so much of our stress and made us feel like everything was going to be okay...AND IT WAS! Better than okay-Everything was absolutely PERFECT! We could not have asked for a better day and the Superstition Manor team made it happen! We are eternally grateful for everything that they did for us. Despite COVID and the uncertainty of these times, they will work with you and bring you the most beautiful and incredible day. The location of this venue is incredible as it is but having a team of staff members that are truly committed to their couples is just unreal. We are so happy that we had our reception here and we will always hold the Superstition Manor team close to our hearts. They really gave us the most beautiful start to our happily ever after and we will always be grateful for their services! We will definitely be recommending this venue to our friends and family! Book this venue-You won’t be disappointed!! 🥰😍

but so are many other event spaces in the greater Mesa/Phoenix area. Read the contract you are about to sign and review past testimonials. After what my fiancé and I went through this summer, I would not recommend Superstition Manor to anyone. The early communication with our event coordinator, Rebecca was good. She was responsive and answered our questions promptly. Since this was a destination wedding, Rebecca helped us with the decor ideas by sending us photos of different options and us making the selections. Everything was going smoothly until Covid hit. Our original ceremony date was June 19th. This was just weeks after the entire country experienced a mandator lockdown of some capacity. Our home state of Wisconsin, was still partially shut down and Covid infections were still on the rise. Many states had a social distancing policy and indoor gatherings were limited to 10 individuals or less. Many experts predicted that we would not have a vaccine by the end of 2020 and due to the contagious nature of the virus, it wouldn’t go away on its own. With all this going on, my fiancé and I had to put the safety of our friends and family before our desires to get married. Traveling out of state and by plane was a danger to our well being and a risk we were not willing to take. After being completely transparent with Rebecca and the venue owner, John Burns about our reservations with proceeding with our ceremony in light of a pandemic, we were given two options. Option 1, we could reschedule, but it had to be within 2020 and option 2, we could cancel, but we would not be given a refund. Keep in mind at this point, we had already paid thousands of dollars towards the wedding contract. This is the lack of compassion we were greeted with in an already horrible situation. Based on this and listening to the health experts, we decided that our only option was to cancel. Fast forward to today, where we have not been shown any empathy by the venue or any of its staff. We paid $3,000 for a ceremony that never took place, food that was never eaten, and services never rendered. We understand businesses have contracts and policies to protect themselves and under normal circumstances, agree with these policies. However at present time we are in a global pandemic. The government has provided small businesses with aid packages to support them during these uncertain times. There is no need for the business to pray on and take advantage of soon to be husband and wives. A wedding should be a magical experience, not a moment in time that you regret. I strongly regret our decision for entering into contract with John and Superstition Manor. This business only cares about making money regardless of the situation. Fellow grooms and brides look elsewhere.

unfortunate pandemic we are all dealing with. Let me be very clear, I, in no way, am an unreasonable person and have compassion for businesses at this time. I completely understand how hard it is for everyone involved However, the way this business has handled themselves is unbelievable and I feel people should be aware of these poor business practices!! My fiancé and I found this place back in December of last year. It seemed like I nice place for a wedding and it helped they offered a military discount. In January we signed a contract and started making payments on our dream wedding for us and 98 of our closest friends and family. Well we all know what happens next COVID hit Arizona and things were locked down. Our day was approaching and we were all on lock down. We couldn't get the dress fitted we couldn't pick up the rings everything was closed. We contacted Brittney and she found us a new date. August 29th we thought by then things would be normal. Well June happens and lock down all over again. The governor says no gathering larger than 50 people with social distancing. All of the mayors tell us we have to wear masks. I start to panic and reached out to Elizabeth, our wedding coordinator, who told me not to worry they had a wedding of 125 people the night before. But if I was nervous I could reschedule for free one more time but the only Saturday's for the year were the Saturday after Thanksgiving or the Saturday after Christmas. Those were my options. If we wanted to schedule into 2021, at that point there would be additional fees. Knowing that was not right I called John the owner To tell him our situation. He tells me if you want to cancel "I get it." Just needed to fill out their form and they will get us canceled. The next day we fill out the form and send it in. We find out later that day not only are we canceled for a wedding they could never host due to COVID but they want the total of the contract. $8,800 to include all of the gratuity for the wait staff and the deposit for the photo booth for that night. After we canceled we were told we should have offered you smaller party size whoops we forgot. So here we are out $5,700 and a bill for the rest. So I guess the bottom line is if you are looking for an ethical place to host your wedding. This is not it. Spend your time read the reviews. Don't let them take advantage of you like they did me and my fiancé.

e during COVID-19?

ays thinking as a little girl that one day I could only dream of getting married there. Well fast forward 14 years later and I signed my contract to be married there next year!! The employees of this venue truly make you feel like family and your day is so important to them! From planning to just simply chatting and getting to know them the venue has been great! With a perfect location that’s not too far of a drive with the picturesque Superstition Mountains in the background this venue is sure to make all your guests say “WOW”. I’m So excited for 2021 and I can’t wait to continue to plan my big day! ❤️ Thank you for making my dreams come true!

istake I could make. At first everything seemed great. Promises were made, but in the end were not delivered. I purchased the "VIP" package. So everything was included , I paid extra for having the venue/both halls/upstairs &downstairs to myself. The day of the there was another wedding, a rehersal, and even a tour while I'm taking pictures in the reception hall. I had a fabulous cake, but was only able to enjoy ONE bite of it because one of coordinators (staff) DROPPED my cake on the floor while trying to move it. Then they tried to serve it even after it was on the floor. My guests were appalled. They turned off the main light chandelier while I did my first dance. Even after spending 5hours (printing /designing)on table cards the staff taped them to a mirror all crooked and smooshed. Some even overlapping each other. We were promised the venue from 8am-10pm and by 7pm they already started to pick up half the place. My sparklers were not out with the customized matches we bought. For the ceremony they played the wrong music and ruined the reveal, they shut the doors after my husband and everyone already saw me. They refused some of my guests dinner even though there was so much left over. They recommended a dj company that completely did not follow the timeline and did toasts before anyone had anything to drink. These are only SOME of the many things they ruined. We tried calling after the wedding and no answer for over a week from the owner John. When he did finally call and my husband tried to tell him everything that happened he yelled and said he didn't want to hear his knit picking amongst other things and hung up. This place is beautiful. BUT NOT WORTH IT. please please save your hard earned money and go with a venue that will make your day special and will be professional!

d made our day so easy and effortless. I was shocked when I arrived that morning and saw my dreams come to life! Through out the night, she was always checking to see if we needed anything and packed up all of our things before we left. Rebecca went above and beyond and made our wedding day the BEST day ever. This is an amazing venue with incredible views and staff (the waiter even had a dance off with our friends). I could not be more thankful for Superstition Manor!

rgeous and well run. There are so many package options so that even on a tight budget you can still have a beautiful wedding. They really work with you to make sure that you are getting the best. Also the fact that the venue handles the catering and the bar is great because the food is excellent and it's fewer vendors to coordinate with. I highly recommend Superstition Manor.

we knew it was perfect for us. Elizabeth was our coordinator and made sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly. She truly made me have a stress free day and calmed my nerves. She was completely honest with us and ensured the day was all about us. Our guests had the best time and raved how beautiful the venue was. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

d of having to decorate and cover up ugly off-white walls in a dingy ballroom (which seemed to be the case for most places in our price range), but this place literally has it all! Amazing tuscan architecture (beautiful inside and out), stunning desert landscape, lovely garden area... and all at a fraction of the cost that other venues were asking!!! Seriously amazing! Additionally, they took care of everything. As an all-inclusive venue, it was so easy to get all the vendors together; no worrying about bringing in caterers and having the food getting cold, the florist getting lost, or not having the right hookups for the DJ, it was just all there! Taken care of because they were all familiar with the location. (Plus, all their approved vendors were equally as amazing.) I also want to note how organized the whole thing was; our coordinator, Elizabeth, was fantastic! She took care of everything and communicated with me throughout the entire planning process. She went out of her way to make sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted, acted as a body guard so that we could actually enjoy our wedding meal, and even lightly entertained our flower girls. At the end of the night, she and the staff had packed up all of the decor and trinkets and I literally did not have to worry about a thing. I just seriously want to thank her for being so spectacular. The owner, John, was also very accommodating and our guests also spoke very highly of the venue; several guests mentioned to me how comfortable they felt there and commented that the staff (and recommended vendors) were over all very polite. The venue had seamless indoor and outdoor space/ seating and I think this contributed to the comfort level of our guests. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, desert wedding :)

Though the place looked very expensive and wayyy over our budget, it was actually VERY AFFORDABLE! Superstition Manor is built for weddings, and they are prepared to provide you with all the the table decorations, chairs, and signage that you could ever dream of! In addition to free decorations, they also acted as our caterer! Before the wedding we met for a food tasting in which we were able to try hundreds of different appetizers, entrees, and side dishes for free! Additionally, because Superstition Manor has a great relationship with other wedding services in the area, we were able to get a great discount on both our photographers and DJ! They also provided us with an amazing coordinator, Elizabeth, that took care of everything for us, so planning our wedding was a breeze! If you are planning on getting married, take a tour of the place and choose your date soon! You will not regret it!!

ision to life!!! I had one of the best nights of my life and would highly recommend this venue for your wedding day!

to the end of the wedding. Our day turned out better than we could've dreamed! Highly recommend this venue!

ned out it. The location with Superstition mountain is gorgeous, all of the staff were so helpful and professional. I highly recommend this venue. We chose sugarlips for the cake. It was beautiful and delicious.We chose save this memory for the DJ. Taylor did a fabulous job, everyone loved the games. If you want a very low stress wedding and reception this is the place to go. Thank you Superstition Manor for everything.

ding coordinator, Rebecca, not only made sure the wedding party's every need was met but was so organized that the wedding went like clockwork! we could not have asked for better service or a more beautiful wedding for our son and new daughter-in-law

geous and almost everything is included in your package (table decor, decorations around the venue, they set EVERYTHING up, credits for vendors, etc.). They also have done a lot of upgrading to their venue over the past two years making it even more dreamy every step of the way. It was a relief to not have to go out and get decorations for tables and around the venue, they do it all! Rebecca was so amazing and she answered all of my (many) questions in such a timely manner, she made the whole process so stress free which was so great. All of our guests keep talking about how gorgeous everything turned out. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

everything flow, and made my husband and I feel so special. We loved the fact that all the linens and decor were included in the price. The food and liquor options were priced really well and there were so many different choices. The bridal and groom suites were amazing to get ready in (and party in for the guys). The views are beautiful and made for AMAZING pictures!! We are so thankful for such an amazing day!!

ey can a gorgeous view of the Superstition Mountains! I have ZERO complaints, our wedding was beyond perfect because of this venue!!

ustomize our wedding exactly how we liked and it turned out even better than I could have imagined!

All the steaks were cooked at medium/ medium rare and I didn’t hear a complaint about the food being cold or not warm enough. Décor: We seriously didn’t have to purchase/rent any décor, the manor had everything, and it was great. Their decor room was massive, and they had different options/styles. When we did our table settings, they were very open with our ideas and made a perfect match with our ideas and what they had available. They even made our table numbers to match more with our flowers/theme. Venue: We had the whole manor to ourselves and it was so nice not worrying about running into another wedding. We did our ceremony on the south lawn and used the south hall as our cocktail hour. Our guest then moved into the ballroom for the reception. The venue had a lot of great settings for pictures. All of our pictures turned out great! Vendors: We used all the recommended vendors on their list. We used Sugarlips for our cake, Moellux Events for our florals and Save this Memory for the DJ, Photography and Videography. We didn’t have any problems with any of them. Wedding Coordinator: Elizabeth was amazing! We are so glad Elizabeth took our account when our first coordinator left! She was fantastic and helped in every way possible. She took my ideas/visions and made them come to life, ie, our Boba Bar. She knew exactly what we wanted and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. She was always on hand and I could email/text/call her about anything. Before our grand entrance, she had the kitchen make us extra appetizers because we didn’t get any during cocktail hour. She went above and beyond for us. Honestly, if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was such a wonderful and easy day for us. Thank you so much Superstition Manor!

ay 1, she was wonderful to work with, she answered all of our questions no matter the time or day. Everything went better than I could've imagined. All the recommended vendors were on point. Piece of cake for cupcakes and top tier cake, Lasting Impressions for floral-Brenda Hon, Save this Memory for our DJ. JC kept our Guests entertained the entire time- guests are still talking about all the fun they had. Sharley was our photographer and we couldn't have asked for anyone better she is amazing, absolutely love her work, she took our engagement pictures as well. Our officiant Joe with weddings to remember was wonderful to work with. The colors we chose were my favorite together. Rose Bridal for the tuxedos and who would've thought Dress barn for bridesmaids dresses, and lastly Azteca Bridal for my Dress, Ofelia is super friendly and helpful. We went to a lot of open houses to find our Venue and this place is by far the best place with reasonable prices. The food was amazing the jalapeno poppers were a hit!! I just want every newly engaged couple to pick this place because its definitely a wedding venue everyone will talk about forever especially if they use all the vendors recommended, they know how to all come together to make the perfect day!!

ost everything was included and the venue itself is gorgeous! I could not recommend this place more!
