Where should guests stay?
We recommend booking accommodations in the Gilbert/Mesa area, which has a lot of great hotel and Airbnb options to fit all kinds of budgets and preferences. It’s about 30 minutes from Desert View Weddings & Events, and there are plenty of places to grab a bite, shop, and enjoy yourself.
Here are a few places to consider:
Residence Inn by Marriott Phoenix Mesa East,
Home2 Suites by Hilton Mesa Longbow,
Best Western Apache Junction Inn (if you’d prefer to stay a little closer to the venue).
If you’d rather stay somewhere a bit more personal, there are lots of Airbnb options in the Gilbert, Mesa, and Apache Junction areas.
Where should guests fly into?
For those flying in, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is about 30 minutes away. Another option is Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), which is about 20 minutes from the venue and mainly serves Allegiant Air. You’ll be able to easily get to the venue with Uber/Lyft or by renting a car.
