The Boulders made our wedding dreams come true

The Boulders and all their staff did a fantastic job with our wedding. Promise Rock was an absolute dream, and Duck Pond helped us provide the fully-outdoor wedding of our dreams. The Boulders is one of the few venues in the Phoenix area that can have live outdoor music the whole reception, and that was very important to us. The Boulders staff took great care of us and our vendors from day one - they were responsive, attentive, and made sure all our questions and concerns were addressed. They worked great with our planner as well. The rooms are such a unique experience for guests, and they provided a great rate for the room block.
The food and drinks were spectacular, and the Boulders let us customize everything from our meals/apps to signature cocktails. We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on site, and the Boulder did a great job with setup and hosting our group.
The Boulders resort in general is beautiful. There is no shortage of great views, walking paths, and lots of outdoorsy things for your guests to do. The golf is also great, and the golf staff went above and beyond in helping us host a fun pre-wedding tournament for our guests.
I think The Boulders is a hidden gem in a crowded Phoenix market. Kate and her team made sure our wedding weekend was prefect from top to bottom. I can't thank them enough and I encourage anyone to take the trip up to Carefree to check out The Boulders.

Great venue

The Bouders' team was great to work with. Super responsive and accommodating.

The venue was great -- it was exactly what we wanted. The F&B was solid as well.

All our our guests loved their rooms and houses.

Would recommend.

Best wedding venue ever!

Our wedding at The Boulders Resort & Spa in Arizona was a dream come true. This venue offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and luxury, making it the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion.

A major highlight of our experience was working with Kate Kilbourn, Senior Catering Sales Manager. From our initial meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Kate and her team provided us exceptional service. She was incredibly organized, attentive, and always available to address any questions or concerns we had. Her attention to detail and dedication ensured that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly.

The Boulders Resort & Spa is in a stunning location of Arizona with breathtaking desert landscapes and unique rock formations that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The serene and picturesque environment made our wedding photos look like they were straight out of a fairy tale.

The reception was held in one of the resort’s most elegant spaces, Latia ballroom, which comfortably accommodated all of our guests. The ambiance was both sophisticated and welcoming, with beautifully set tables and tasteful decor. The resort's Chef and catering team provided a delicious menu that our guests are still raving about.

In addition to the venue itself, our guests were thrilled with their accommodations and the variety of activities available at the resort. Many enjoyed the world-class spa, and golf courses, if you are up for a challenge.

Overall, The Boulders Resort & Spa provided us with an unforgettable wedding experience. We are grateful for Kate and her entire team for their hard work and dedication. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized, and luxurious wedding destination.
