Q + A

Legacy Golf Resort is a 3-star hotel option closest to the venue! It is a 5 min drive/20 min walk to the venue and 15-20 min drive to the airport. No room block but transportation will be provided to and from the venue!

Legacy Golf Resort

Arizona Grand Resort &amp; Spa is where the bride and groom will be staying! This 4-star hotel is just a 10 min drive to the venue and only a 10-15 min drive to the airport. Transportation will be provided to and from the venue! No room block but link below includes a 20% off best available rate at the time of booking (provided by the hotel for our guests). If you book outside of the link below, you will not get the discount! Also, please make sure you double check the cancellation policy. Please note, it is highly suggested to book as soon as possible as this resort is very popular during our wedding month for conferences and other weddings!

AirBnB

There are plenty of Airbnb options close to our wedding venue with gorgeous mountain views and swimming pools. This is a great option for large groups or families! If you are looking to book an Airbnb for our wedding weekend, look for accommodations near our venue (Baseline Road &amp; 24th Street in Phoenix). If you have any questions about Airbnb location, please let us know!

Other hotels

There are many other options for lodging! The two hotels listed above are only suggestions as they are both great options close to the venue and airport. There are more hotels on the east side of the 10 freeway (other side of the Arizona Grand Resort) or even closer to the airport if you prefer. If you do choose to book lodging elsewhere, please be prepared to get transportation on your own.

Travel

Get you some In-N-Out while you're in AZ! Location is right outside the Arizona Grand Resort.

In-N-Out Burger

Old Town Scottsdale is filled with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars with a western feel! This is about a 20 min drive from Arizona Grand. This area is so fun and there is plenty to check out if you've never been!

Old Town Scottsdale

Top Golf is cool but have you heard of PopStroke? It's a fun alternative if you are looking for a cool activity to do. The Scottsdale location is about a 20 minute drive from Arizona Grand. There is not only mini golf but cornhole, ping pong and much more! You can order drinks for delivery on the course with their app while also keeping score. Bride recommends to go check it out if you have some time. If you would rather Top Golf, there is a location down the street from here!

PopStroke

Mill Ave is one long strip of different shops, restaurants, and bars located right next to the Arizona State University campus. This is about a 15 min drive from Arizona Grand and a fun option if you are looking for a young and lively atmosphere!

Mill Avenue Shops

GolfBoth hotels that we listed in the Travel tab have a golf course as one of the many amenities offered and are also available to the public. If you are not a guest at either hotel, you can use the links below to reserve a tee time online: Legacy Golf Resort<a href="https://www.golflegacyresort.com/tee-times/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.golflegacyresort.com/tee-times/</a> Arizona Grand Resort<a href="https://www.arizonagrandgolf.com/reserve-a-tee-time/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.arizonagrandgolf.com/reserve-a-tee-time/</a> HikingSouth Mountain will have the closest trails but there are more popular hiking trails just a short Uber ride from both hotels. If you are looking to hike, we recommend downloading the app AllTrails or ask the front desk of your hotel for more information.

Hiking and Golf

Sedona is just two hours north of Phoenix! It is a very popular destination for tourists and Phoenicians when they want a quick weekend getaway. Highly recommend if you are spending some extra time in AZ.

Sedona

I mean if you're visiting the Grand Canyon State, you might as well see the Grand Canyon! If you're spending some extra time in AZ, we highly recommend checking out this beautiful National Park. It is roughly between a 3.5 - 4 hour drive north of Phoenix.

Grand Canyon National Park

If you end up making it to the Grand Canyon, these two iconic landscapes usually make it in the road trip because they are only a few hours northeast of there!

Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend
