You take your first steps down the aisle, making your way to your partner—and to your new life together. Friends and family surround you on a lush lawn lined with orange, olive, and palo verde trees. The watercolor desert sky is expansive, endless. Majestic Camelback Mountain looms in the distance, a symbol of strength, stability, longevity.

A thrilling setting

Set on 23 acres in the Sonoran Desert, Andaz boasts nearly 50,000 square feet of exhilarating outdoor spaces and elegant indoor venues. Popular choices include our Cholla Lawn, which offers lush landscaping and mountain views; surrounded by saguaro cacti and orange trees, it’s ideal for both ceremonies and receptions. Albers Lawn is flexible and festive, with three connecting lawns perfect for every stage of your event, from saying your vows to dancing under the stars. And the Foundry Ballroom allows for celebrations that flow effortlessly between indoors and out, thanks to its shaded terrace.

Cuisine to fuel the festivities

Memorable meals pair perfectly with milestone occasions, and our expert chefs will craft a culinary journey that adds unique flavor to any celebration. The exhibition kitchen in our signature restaurant, Weft & Warp, lends a twist to rehearsal dinners and morning-after brunches, while intimate nooks abound for romantic picnics, cocktail hours, and other smaller gatherings.

Room to relax

Our mid-century modern bungalows and suites are filled with character, featuring local artwork, artisan-crafted furnishings, and private patios. Accessed by pathways that meander through gardens and arroyos, they offer a blend of seclusion and connection with the desert landscape. Expansive residential villas create an experience that is elevated even further, and The Retreat, an enclave of 20 bungalows and the Albers House villa—all surrounding an exclusive pool—presents the ultimate opportunity for an unforgettable destination wedding.
