Ceremony:
We had our ceremony in the trellis garden and it was magnificent. The flora around the garden was well kept and beautiful. It was the perfect setting for our sunset wedding as the sun set directly behind the altar. There was a few pat...ches of mud towards the back, but this was easily avoided.
Reception:
The Mohave Ballroom was the location of our reception. The room was perfectly located next to bathrooms, near the ceremony, and near the main parking lot if guests wanted to leave early. It fit our 100 guests easily and could have fit 50 more. The room did get quite warm, even in December, and we had to constantly have the doors open to cool the room down.
Wedding Coordinator:
Kristine Lowe was our wedding coordinator for a short time (as the previous coordinator no longer worked for the Wigwam), but our time with her was excellent. She was efficient, communicated well, punctual, and saw to our every need. She waited in the cold for our late rehearsal members patiently, brought super glue to the bridal sweet for emergency dress repairs, assisted groomsmen with placing boutonnières, made sure our cards and gifts were delivered to our room for the wedding night safely and securely, and assisted with day of setup for ceremony and reception decorations. She was an invaluable asset to our wedding day.
Service Staff:
The service staff were awesome. They were efficient, unobtrusive, and saw to all of our guests needs quickly. Food, cake, and champagne was brought to every guest. The bartender was cordial and made sure the groom (and the father of the bride) got the good scotch. INSERT NAME HERE made sure the bride and groom always had a drink in our hands.
Room Blocks:
Booking with the Wigwam was easy and cost effective. All our guests who booked with our wedding block received a significant discount on the room rate. Rooms were clean and guests were never roomed too far from the festivities. The get ready rooms for the bride and groom were beautiful. The bride’s room had a plumbing issue, but once reported, she was immediately upgraded to a three-bedroom casita that was gorgeous. We also had a congratulations card, champagne on ice, and chocolate covered strawberries in our room on the wedding night.
