Book Your Wedding with The Wigwam
A BALLROOM IN LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ
About Us
Located on the site of a former cotton ranch, The Wigwam is an upscale resort in Litchfield Park, Arizona, that offers lavish amenities and a relaxing environment. In addition to an on-site spa, the historic property also includes 440 acres of land, upon which 8,000 rose bushes, a golf course and a 25-foot high water slide grace the landscape.

Below are a few details about three of the main indoor event venues offered at the resort.
The Wigwam Ballroom. Able to hold as many as 500 guests, this elegantly grand ballroom is an ideal spot to host an indoor reception. Featuring high ceilings and space enough for an oversized dance floor, both sit-down dinners and buffet-style gatherings can be easily accommodated in this room.

Opening onto an outdoor terrace, guests may gather outside before the reception for a few cocktails.
Mohave Ballroom. Contemporary in design, this room is set up with a few dramatic lighting fixtures to help give events a unique charm. Wedding receptions held in this space can accommodate up to 300 guests.

I got married at the Wigwam
Reviewed on 5/29/2012 Margo KI would highly recommend this resort for your one-stop wedding needs. From the food to the cake to the ceremony area to the reception area, Carrie Pulos-Huerta is absolutely amazing. I supplied her with the floral arrangements and favors, and when we arrived at the reception... Read More terrace, it was everything I had imagined and more! The whole staff was very personal and accommodating, and made us feel very welcome. My husband and I have vowed that we will go back to the Wigwam every year to celebrate our anniversary.

Reviewed on 2/04/2014 Lauren PThe Wigwam did a MOSTLY great job with our wedding! Unfortunately, they did not order enough of our requested beer and had to make a last-minute switch, which we were assured we would not get charged for, and did. Other than that, it was a perfect day!
Wedding at the Wigwam
Reviewed on 11/20/2013 Abigail FMy husband and I had a tented reception on the front lawn of the Wigwam in October, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out! With many guests coming from out of town, we also booked a block of rooms at the resort and hosted a Friday cocktail hour and... Read More Sunday brunch on site. I cannot tell you how absolutely WONDERFUL the entire weekend was and how great it was working with The Wigwam! Our guests loved the location so much, many asked if they could move in! All weekend the food, drink, atmosphere, and service were spot-on and created an unforgettable event for ourselves and our guests. Special props to catering and customer service-we had very particular menu requests and our reception food and wedding cake turned out DELICIOUS. The staff was exceptional with our rowdy 150+ crowd, helping with everything from golf cart escorts, to misplaced purses, lost jewelry, and any number of odd requests throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend The Wigwam as an event location or just a beautiful resort for a weekend away. We'll certainly be celebrating anniversaries there!

Reviewed on 10/24/2012 NORMA RI did not have very good communication with the wedding coordinator from the beginning at the Wigwam.

Disappointed...
Reviewed on 6/18/2012 Alanna EWe used this hotel as our wedding night hotel location. Since we got married in the west valley we wanted to stay at a resort that was fairly close to our location. We have heard great reviews about the Wigwam in Litchfield Park; unfortunately, we did not have the same... Read More experience. When my husband arrived to check in earlier in the day the concierge yelled at him and the manager came over and reprimanded him then pulled him from his station right in front of my husband. A little unprofessional, but whatever. As a consolation they said they would send a bucket of beer up for the groomsmen to enjoy, which was great, but it did not arrive for an hour and a half which was just as everyone was leaving for the wedding. It was still a nice gesture. We opted to not get a suite since we would not be arriving until late and would be leaving in the morning. The rooms were extremely stark- only two small pictures on the wall, and there were no lights when you walked in so we were fumbling around in the dark that night trying to turn a light on. One of the lights was also broken by the bedside. The pool area is beautiful and we had a great balcony view of it from our room. Our biggest annoyance was housekeeping knocking on the door at 8am the next morning to ask us what time we were checking out…. I can honestly say that has never happened to me at any hotel before. We were tired and my husband was very irritated that they woke us up to ask us this. He spoke to someone downstairs when we checked out about it and were told that a manager would call that week to discuss the situation, but we never received a call. We has such high hopes for this hotel based on the beautiful grounds but the customer service and room amenities could definitely use some work.
Wedding at the Wigwam

Reviewed on 6/28/2010 Lisa GI loved the property and they had beautiful areas for picture taking and the rooms were so nice, but we definitely had a lot of stress with doing the wedding here. The coordinator was very difficult to get ahold of when I had questions or wanted to schedule a meeting and at one... Read More point she even changed her email and did not notify me. I found out by receiving an undeliverable message and then had to google her to find out what the new email was since I could also not reach her on her office phone. We thought the property was going bankrupt and closing, but we decided to stick it out to be told that we were basically "out bid" for the ceremony site we wanted to use. We received a discount for changing sites so I got over that, but then day of the wedding the wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found until right up when the ceremony started. I had to send bridemaids out to make sure the ceremony was set up correctly and to shoo away the DJ when he mistakingly started to set up to play the ceremony music. Also, the front desk was not aware of my wedding going on at one point and told some of my guests that they showed no record of my wedding and some of the guests wandered around before finding the wedding site. At the end of the night we received a FANTASTIC suite to spend the wedding night in and enjoyed a great breakfast the next morning. Overall the day here turned out nice, but getting to that point was very stressful.
