The Highlands at Dove Mountain

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding reception at the Highlands!! Claudette and her assistant, Katrina, were so wonderful and great to work with. They made the wedding planning process very easy, which was no easy feat considering that we were an out-of-town couple planning a wedding during COVID. Claudette used her event planning and design expertise to turn our inspiration photos into the beautiful event we had envisioned. On the day of the wedding, she went above-and-beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. When we had an issue with our transportation vendor, she even offered to drive her personal car to pick-up the wedding guests. We received numerous compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the venue was and how great the event staff were. Thank you so much Claudette and the entire Highlands team for truly making our dream wedding a reality!!

We are so grateful to have chosen this venue for our wedding! Everything was wonderful and the staff were so helpful and friendly! The food was delicious and the centerpieces they provided were just perfect! I enjoyed every minute of it!

We had a small outdoor Bridal Shower at the Highlands, Jan 23, 2021. It was beautiful and included Covid Safety precautions. All guests felt vey safe, Claudette made this a very special event, She is exceptional! The place settings were customized to our colors, the floral arrangements were beautiful and the food delicious and beautifully presented. We were delighted as were our guests. Thank you HIghlands!

I believe that there is no better venue that captures every aspect of Southern Arizona beauty than the Highlands at Dove Mountain. From our experience there--and being married during COVID--I am confident in saying that amid the ongoing saga of COVID this venue was exceptional! Despite our November 2020 wedding date, we were able to move forward with our wedding and implement multiple precautions that maintained safety while never once detracting from the beauty, design, or intent of our event. Claudette worked with us to ensure social distancing at the ceremony and reception while still creating a beautiful setting, cocktails and dinner service was plated with servers utilizing masks and PPE throughout the night, beautiful hand sanitizing stations that matched the décor were provided, and through it all, considerations were communicated with us to find out how we would best like to proceed. Claudette truly personifies the feel of The Highlands at Dove Mountain. She possess a calming, elegant, genuine demeanor which is complemented by her unmatched wedding planning knowledge, her connection with a multitude of Tucson wedding vendors, her own floral/decorative skills, and her perfect attention to detail and organization. She remains ever engaged for the couple and will work to make each step as clear as possible. Despite being out of town, she worked via email and over the phone to understand our ideas and vision. She demonstrated an ability to communicate well and capture the ideas we were hoping to achieve. This site is spectacular, it is a must consider, 100% recommend from a very Happy COVID couple!

A little late with the review but I highly recommend this venue! It is absolutely beautiful and there is so much you can do with the place. My ceremony was outside and the reception was inside, both blew my expectations. Claudette and her staff are absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in making my fairytale wedding a reality. When she says she'll handle it, she isn't lying! I couldn't be happier with how my wedding turned out. Thank you so much Claudette!

"My husband and I chose to marry in Tucson, AZ because we wanted a destination wedding. We were researching two locations, one being The Highlands at Dove Mountain. We chose The Highlands for several reasons. The grounds with the mountains as a backdrop provide a stunning view for an outdoor wedding. The day of our wedding was gorgeous! The Director Food and Beverage is very knowledgeable about weddings and receptions. She answered all our questions and guided us through the steps of a wedding ceremony and reception. She was of great help always making herself available throughout the planning process. The staff were so friendly and professional. They provided great service throughout the wedding and reception. My husband and I wouldn't have changed a thing."

What an incredible experience from start to finish! My husband and I toured The Highlands and knew right away that this was the venue we wanted to have our wedding at! Claudette and her assistant Katrina, who are two of the nicest people I've ever met, exceeded our expectations. They were there to answer all of my questions, no matter the time of day, and their responses were prompt. We chose to have our ceremony and reception outdoors and the view did not disappoint. All of the decorations and details were spectacular! I wouldn't have changed anything at all. All of our guests raved about the beautiful view, the food, and the wedding. A HUGE thank you again to Claudette, Katrina, and the staff at The Highlands! Seriously, if you're still looking for a venue, look no further than The Highlands at Dove Mountain!

The highlands did an amazing job organizing and making my wedding day so special! The staff truly cared to make sure my day went smooth and was everything we wanted!

Claudette did an amazing job helping get everything together! Great views and food!

We began our venue search in January 2018. We toured probably 8-9 places and "the one" still hadn't popped out at us. I met Claudette and Katrina at a bridal expo and booked an appointment there to visit The Highlands . Honestly, that same day, we had appointments at 4 other places and I was EXHAUSTED. I actually begged my fiancee to reschedule or just choose one we had already seen...he said, "no, this will be the last place we visit and make a decision from there". I AM SO GLAD WE WENT!!! I can't put into words the instant connection we had with Claudette. We walked the venue, (which is beautiful), she described the cermony set-up, cocktail hour, reception and flow of it all. As she did, I could envision it all in my head. THIS WAS IT. We left that meeting, my fiancee and I just looked at each other. I asked, "what did you think?"...He had the biggest smile on his face, we both said, "this is the place!". From that day, January 29, 2018 through my wedding date exactly nine months later, Claudette and Katrina were more than what I could have ever asked for. The two work in tandum and are on top of it ALL. We were in constant communication and bounced ideas off of each other, working within our budget. My nickname for them is now "The Dream Team". The day was spectacular, everything flowed like it should, the food was delicious, our reception was gorgeous and an amzaing time was had by everyone. The compliments that night were non-stop and are still coming. I am so glad we found The Highlands and Claudette. She truly brought our vision to life and made the day one we will never forget.

We are so happy that we chose the Highlands as our reception venue for 7/14/18. Claudette is amazing and truly has a wonderful gift to plan weddings. She was just phenomenal and truly brought our dream wedding to life. Our wedding space was just gorgeous, the food was fantastic! Our guests loved cocktail hour ! The bar options were great! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Claudette!

Our wedding was beautiful. Claudette was an absolute joy to work with. She's so creative and helps you to bring your ideas and plans to fruition. We had our ceremony outside, and the venue provides gorgeous views. Inside the ballroom is great with a built in dance floor. This venue is very customize-able, and easy to work with. It's also very reasonably priced, and we chose the highest priced package! Thank you for everything!

Beautiful venue! Claudette was awesome to work with! We had an issue with a vendor and she took care of it literally over night. Food is AMAZING!! Will highly recommend The Highlands to anyone who is getting married or even having a formal event!

We just had our wedding yesterday and it was amazing!! Everything went better than I ever thought possible. Thanks to the event planner, Claudette she worked behind the scenes to fix anything and we never even knew. She is incredibly good at her job!! I recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a venue that provides a very elegant wedding for a reasonable price. It really was the best wedding ever!

Having our wedding reception at the Highlands was the best decision we could have made! From the minute we toured the venue and met Claudette, we knew that it would be perfect and was exactly what we were looking for. The entire experience was so fun and enjoyable, and Claudette and her team really made us feel at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail leading up to the day were amazing. Then on the night of the event, we were blown away! Not only was the food amazing, but the friendliness of the staff and the decor and ambiance of the whole venue really put it over the top! We are still getting compliments from our guest talking about what an amazing evening it was and how it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever been to! Thank you!

My wedding reception was located at Heritage Highlands and it was exactly was I wanted it to be. The staff, and more specifically Elizabeth the coordinator went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure everything ran according the plans we had made, down to getting us out to sunset pictures on time with golf carts lined up and ready to go. We got so many compliments on the venue, food, and decor. I had an amazing time at our reception and I wouldn't change a thing.

My husband and I fell in love with Heritage Highlands almost immediately. There are numerous beautiful places for pictures; our outdoor ceremony had a beautiful desert backdrop; the food was fantastic; our coordinator, Elizabeth, was always calm and on top of the planning process as we prepared for our big day. We enjoyed every bit of working with Elizabeth from the day we met her to the day we got married. While we did look at a few less expensive venues, we have no regrets about choosing Heritage. Their professionalism and attention to detail made our wedding an absolutely perfect day for us and our guests.
