d my favorite that I've seen. Karen Sorensen is so knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and knows exactly what she is doing! We would have felt so comfortable working with her and this beautiful venue. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a foresty ceremony site.
Karen at Thornagers was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable and guided us completely on what we needed to do in order to plan our wedding.

eautiful venue, especially if you are looking for something more rustic. We had our ceremony outside in the pine trees and our reception inside. She had decor, but we also added our own personal touches. It came out better than we expected and it worked great for our smaller guest list.
She was also very knowledgeable on the other vendors we used and made sure to communicate with them beforehand to make sure everyone was on the same page.
Couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Thornager's was an amazing place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. Nestled in the pine trees with a rustic feel, it's intimate and inviting. Karen was amazing to work wit...
h and helped to make sure we had the time to get everything set up perfectly. As a DIY bride any extra time was super helpful and we lucked out with getting access to the Venue early to get things setup so it was just finishing touches on the day of. Karen even helped coordinate items on the day of, sort of our impromptu wedding coordinator along with family and friends. It was a beautiful venue and everything went off without a hitch. This location is great, but it is important to note that they do not offer catering but that wasn't a problem as we were able to get our caterer in to use their kitchen area just fine and our caterer said they were a pleasure to work with for coordinating all of that. They had bartenders on staff to help serve drinks and all we had to do was take all of our decorations out at the end of the night. A lot of other places we looked at required some cleaning as well, it was great to just have some friends/family rally to get everything moved out and move forward with the rest of the night! Really can't say enough about how wonderful this location is.
We had a smaller wedding and the space was perfect; not too big and not too small. The guests loved the lawn games for cocktail hour and reception. The food was wonderful. They wor...

ng the various vendors and keeping the day moving on time. However, it was hard getting in touch sometimes. they set an expectation of timelines (when contract should be signed, payments due, etc.) and didn't stick to them at all. Everything was figured out in the end, but it made me a bit more anxious than I needed to be since I was worrying about losing my set date. Also 4 stars because we were not able to do our little bit of decorating until the day of. we actually stayed in the attached Air BnB, and we were not able to do any dinner or decorating at our rehearsal. Grand scheme.of things, everything went smoothly and I was happy with how it turned out.
Thornager's was a wonderful and unique venue for our wedding. I loved the reception space and how easy it was to transform perfectly to fit our theme. The food was incredible and t...

Great food and easy planning. All my guests loved it!

more affordable than other places in town! It really could not have been better, just wow!!! Nicole deserves a special shoutout as she was particularly helpful, but the entire staff was just so amazing... Everything was really classy and pretty, the linens were nice, the floors are dramatic and beautiful and the outside was so very lovely, perfect for photo ops.
I would definitely recommend Thornager's for a venue and for catering if your wedding is in Flagstaff. You won't be disappointed!

Our wedding reception was great! Everything was beautiful and went smoothly. I don't think anything could have gone better. A friend of mine made my cake, which fell apart. Nic...
ole was wonderful the whole time! And she was great to work with. She had their baker come by and piece it back together which in the end, turned out beautifully and no one knew the difference with the cake. Karen was good but in the beginning, she was hard to get a hold of at times for questions and concerns.
We loved Thornager's on Kiltie Lane. It's a great venue that was ideal for us as a couple in a part of the state that had meaning to us.
Karen was great at showing us around and...
always being an email away in the planning and we were able to go and get set up the day before the big day. The staff were fantastic and really attentive towards us and our guests on the day and the food was amazing.
We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!
Thank you to everyone at Thornager's for ensuring our day was so memorable!
We hired Thornagers two days in a row for 75 people for our wedding welcome party and wedding reception. Our wedding was at Shoshone Point at the Grand Canyon. With limited optio...
ns we selected Thornagers based on good reviews.
1. Karen was very helpful planning our meals keeping in mind our budget constraints and the fact that the food was traveling a few hours to the canyon. She was honest with us about what would still taste great and what would not. Many guests raved about the food. This says something because it travelled two hours to the canyon! Also I was doing pictures so didn't taste them myself, but apparently the appetizers were to die for!
2. They offered us the option to rent a large tent the day of because of rain in the forecast. The weather cleared, they didn't put up the tent, and we were not charged. We truly appreciated this customer service as of course weather created some stress the weekend of the wedding.
3. The staff was incredibly professional and helpful. They were putting food away when a few guests showed up late to the welcome party. These guests happened to be my vegan guests, and only the meat and tortillas were still out. They got everything else back out again for them. This was truly appreciated.
4. Karen sometimes took a bit to respond to emails, but if you can be patient, it is worth it to hire her and Thornagers for any event you need to cater.
Everything was great about the reception. As for the food, my husband and I enjoyed it as well as others but some of my guests complained to me that the the fettucine alfredo was t...

My Husband and I just got married two days ago at Thornager's. We couldn't have been more happy with their hard work and amazing service. Everyone who was at our wedding (which w...
as a small 78 or so people wedding) loved the food, the look and location of this gorgeous venue. They have prices for every brides budget and worked with us on the little extra things we wanted to have (like hot chocolate and eggnog). The events manager, Eric, did a great job in helping us with whatever we needed and was so kind, never once lost his temper with all my Aunts who were helping out with the decorating :).
We had a semi-rustic winter/Christmas wedding, and Thornager's was the perfect place for it. Karen's Christmas decorations went perfectly with ours and the foot of snow that was outside made for the most beautiful pictures!
I would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat. They were absolutely fantastic and made our wedding day completely magical.
My husband had our ceremony and reception at Thornager's in March 2012. It is a gorgeous location in the Flagstaff forest. The staff was wonderful and attentive. Tim and Karen wer...
e there for us for all our questions and concerns from the very beginning. They gave great advice, and they are pros when it comes to throwing a party! The food was delicious. We were able to custom design our menu from scratch. I would highly recommend booking Thornager's as your venue, or even just to cater at your reception. Their service is very professional and memorable. Our guests complimented the service, food and venue countless times during the wedding and after. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and caterer, especially for such a great price!
Setting the Catering Standard
Karen Sorensen and her team pulled of an unbelievable wedding event! As a former event planner of retail, I chose to plan my own wedding. Food for ...
140+ people was going to be a lot of work.
Planning and Preparation: Karen was very professional, pleasant and paid attention to the details. She provided all options and presented them in a way where I was comfortable to choose what I wanted for the event. She was timely and thorough with her proposals, provided tastings and even came up with new menu items as requested. Karen’s professional manner and attention to detail gave me confidence in knowing I didn’t have to worry about the success of the catering during my wedding.
Wedding Day: Karen’s staff is just as professional and committed to customer service as she is. Tim who managed the wedding day was quick to make adjustments when needed and catered to making sure the event ran as smoothly as possible. He even went out of his way to address not catering issues as they arose which went above and beyond what was expected.
Overall: I can’t begin to thank Karen, Tim and Nancy who made the wedding day such a success. The guests ALL loved the food and could not stop talking about how tasty everything was and that the service was exceptional.
