The Grand Highland Hotel was everything we wanted and more! Charming, historic hotel and venue. After our original venue for my daughter’s wedding fell through I reached out to The Grand Highland after calling about 50 venues. It was a Friday afternoon and Jeanne answered immediately (didn’t have to leave a msg) She was lovely and provided us detailed information, pictures and maps. We signed a contract that day. From that moment, they were extremely responsive and helped make everything seamless. Natasha, Jeanne and entire staff were lovely. They stayed behind the scenes but made it clear they were ready and available for anything we needed. The space was gorgeous, elegant and clean. Extremely accommodating for wedding of 200 people. I handle events for a large corporation and have done business with a lot of venues and vendors in the past and they’re now on the top of my list. Hats off to Natasha, Jeanne and entire staff to help make my daughters dream wedding come true.

The location is of course beautiful with an indoor and outdoor area that allows for a lot of flexibility, but more importantly, the staff and crew here have you COVERED! They worked well with all of our vendors, helped us immensely setting up and putting out all the small fires, and by the end of the night, my wife and I had a PERFECT wedding because of how incredible this venue and its staff was in helping us make this day unbelievably amazing. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

Working with The Grand Highland Hotel was an absolute delight! We decided to host our wedding here and we couldn’t be happier with how professional, accommodating, and helpful they were. We loved the natural beauty of the venue and it allowed us to be rather minimal with our decor. The outdoor space is beautifully kept and versatile, while the indoor ballroom was elegant and functional. The venue staff was attentive to our needs and very flexible. They even had two venue mapping options for the sometimes flippant weather Prescott experiences. The assistance we received from the venue for set up and tear down was invaluable, helping ease many of the stresses wedding planning can create. Jeanne was with us the whole evening making sure guests felt welcomed and coordinating many of the moving parts for our day. Our bartender was lively, efficient, and made us feel celebrated on our day. Weddings can be wickedly expensive, but we are incredibly fortunate for how much value this venue provided. We couldn’t imagine any other venue hosting us for the best day of our lives!

Absolutely spectacular venue! I was married at the GH in 2021 and had the pleasure of coordinating an event in 2024. The support staff at GH are amazing! From the General Manager, Natasha to the front desk and security staff they were second to none. Polite, helpful, positive and professional. Anytime I have an event I'll look to their location first. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor settings which is wonderful for guests depending on the weather and size of the event. Stunning location that compliments any type of decor. Conveniently located on Whiskey row offering plenty of entertainment options for guests staying over at the hotel. Definitely recommend!!

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding at the Grand Highland. The venue was absolutely stunning, the staff was amazing, plus the ability to spend time with our wedding party and loved ones after the wedding while having the whole hotel to ourselves was beyond perfect. 10/10 would recommend if you're considering having your wedding here- DO IT.

We booked this venue for our daughter's wedding and we were very disappointed. Their customer service was nothing like we expected. They did not provide any on-site staff to help oversee and manage any of the events. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding ceremony to the reception, no support staff was there. The only person that was on-site was the security guard. Their website touts "Top notch guest service, support and care. We are here for you." We did not find this to be true! While it is definitely beautiful, we would definitely not recommend it for your special event! However, it you do decide to book here, make sure you don't assume anything! Get EVERYTHING in writing in your contract, and definitely ask for on-site support for your event. As the parents of the bride, my husband and I ended up running around to help with issues that arose during the rehearsal and before the ceremony. I did not get to help my daughter get ready in her wedding dress because I was "putting out fires" that arose because the venue did not have anyone to help. I am not able to get that special time back, but I can let you know about our experience so it doesn't happen to you.

RaLene,
I'm sorry you felt your daughters wedding was not up to your standards. We do ou...
r best to explain what services are included and what is not. When you book with the Grand Highland you are booking the venue and we provide support with the setup/teardown of tables, linens, chairs, etc. We also include security for your event. We spell EVERYTHING out in the agreement of what is and not included. Our model is to provide a great value by allowing you to bring in your own vendors such as a wedding planner that would normally take care of running the Day of Wedding coordination. Our venue pricing starts at $4,000 and I beleive our sale rep also worked in a discount for you. She never mentioned that a wedding planner would be included with that pricing, in fact, she provided you a list of our preferred vendors for wedding planners but you mentioned it was out of your budget and you would be handling the wedding. Also, to be clear, we had 3 support staff people on site that day (not one). The support staff is not there to put out fires with the 3rd party vendors (like caterers, DJ's, etc) that you hire. That is the job of a wedding planner or coordinator that you did not want to hire because of your budget. Also, there were no complaints during the wedding ceremony to anyone on site. The complaint came a few days after when you requested a refund on the wedding or you would post a negative review on several sites. Our GM was nice enough to send a gift basket to wedding couple and they mentioned that had an amazing wedding and had no complaints.

I could not say enough good things about having our wedding reception at the Grand Highland. Everything from the hotel rooms to the staff were awesome. Our guests will be raving about the reception for so long. Our ceremony was offsite a month prior and we rented the venue for the full 48 hours. Their list of recommended vendors were just as great. We had a little rain and it was still pulled off flawlessly. We even brought in a band from Las Vegas who had no issue setting up their equipment. Natasha and her team really helped us put on such a great event.

Worth every penny! This venue was gorgeous and the venue coordinators helped every step of the way. Natasha was great getting us prepped for the day and Steve was a great help the day before and day of. With all the history and beauty this place offers, it’s so worth it. So many guests raved about the courtyard and the ballroom and with the hotel right next door, we were able to get ready the day of and stay the night of our wedding. They even had complimentary wedding goodies for us when we got back. Everything about it is 10 out of 10!

This wedding venue is fantastic. We had planned to have our wedding outdoors, but of course monsoon season had other plans. The staff was quick to move everything indoors and make sure everything was in order. The night ran so smooth thanks to their staff. Beautiful venue, great staff and of course very affordable. Our family that stayed in the hotel absolutely loved it.

We had our daughter's wedding reception at the Grand Highland Hotel/Holiday Courtyard and Ballroom in September 2019. There was plenty of room with close to 200 guests and everyone said it was the best wedding ever! Being outside and dancing under the stars and was wonderful. The staff worked with our vendors and everything went smoothly from the initial booking through the day of he event. Nancy and her staff were wonderful to work with and I highly recommend this venue for any type of event.

We had our wedding at the Grand Highland Hotel in this past October and it was so perfect! We had been looking at multiple venues, and truthfully were planning to get married in Flagstaff, but we knew right away it was the venue for us. Nancy was super responsive and easy to reach, and the entire staff were so friendly and helpful. The staff was a big part of what sold us on the venue, since they made us feel so comfortable. We booked the entire hotel, courtyard, and hub. We actually booked before the indoor areas were available, and we are so glad we added them on! The venue prior to the indoor area being done, and we are so glad we added it on! The venue is in a great location being on whiskey row and just a walk away from hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops. It was nice for the guests to be able to walk over for the most part, or stay very close nearby without having to find rides home. The venue also needs barely any decoration with the lighting, flowers, and ambiance. The setup was nice with the beautiful indoor area and historic charm and everything that was included, it was definitely worth it for us. We had our bridal party stay in the hotel and we had a blast. It was nice to have everyone so close. The one thing we would suggest is to make sure you grab all of the items needed from the downstairs and outside area before leaving at midnight, because when we came back we were not able to go outside to the courtyard to grab the bottom layer of our wedding cake or remaining alcohol bottles until the next morning. We had the rehearsal dinner in the courtyard the night before the wedding with a food truck, Sugar Skull rolling cafe. It was nice having the whole space to ourselves for the weekend, and to be so close to the bars for after! The rooms are SO cute, and all have a different theme. They are seriously so adorable, everyone loved it! It is great to have a venue that allows you to stay late, and has such a good location and setup. We truly have nothing bad to say about this venue at all. They were above and beyond helpful with everything and made our day go so smoothly. We recommend this venue 100%.

We had our wedding here in September 2019. It was a beautiful venue ran by amazing staff. We rented out the courtyard and ballroom. The ballroom was beautiful and included chairs/tables which really eased some of our costs and planning. The courtyard came with chairs and wooden benches. We couldn't of had a more perfect wedding!

This hotel and courtyard are perfect for the vintage wedding of your dreams! The hotel is 12 rooms, which worked out perfectly to have our bridal party stay in those rooms, and each one is gorgeous- perfect for getting ready photos, and for enjoying the rooms over the weekend. The courtyard for the reception is stunning; it is a perfect blank canvas to decorate however you want. I absolutely loved working with Nancy and Ray, the owners/managers of the hotel, and everybody who worked there was super helpful with accommodating any questions or assistance we needed quickly. I was beyond thrilled using this as our wedding reception venue, and I'm so incredibly grateful to all the staff.
