Desert Botanical Garden, 1201 N Galvin Parkway

If you’ve always dreamed of getting hitched in a garden, Desert Botanical Garden on Galvin Parkway needs to be on your list. It has four unique function spaces available for weddings, ranging from the more intimate Steele Herb Garden (which has a capacity of 40 guests) to the sprawling Dorrance Center (which has a capacity of 110 guests). Every inch of this epic garden destination flaunts a healthy dose of flora and fauna, which means you’ll probably be able to save some money on your wedding flowers! 

Enchanted Garden, 21602 N 21st Avenue  

While the Desert Botanical Garden is undoubtedly gorgeous, if you want something with a touch more elegance and whimsy, the Enchanted Garden is where it’s at. This place is downright magical and looks like it was stolen from the pages of a fairytale book.  

Elaborate brick pathways, lush greenery, a river with an adorable bridge that you can use to cross over, a gazebo, and a waterfall are just a few of its awesome amenities. It covers a whopping 36,000 square feet and has a capacity of 180 guests, making it best suited for midsize weddings.

It’s decked out with plenty of plants and string lights, but it’s really a blank canvas for you to paint your wedding dreams onto. It has a capacity of 1,000 guests, so you should be able to fit all of your nearest and dearest, as well as a few plus ones. 

Antigua Garden, 2645 N 16th Street

Antigua Garden is another beautiful indoor-outdoor venue that Phoenix has to offer. The main building has been around since 1943 and was first used as a Baptist church. Today it functions as an event venue, but it’s held onto its classic, elegant style.  

Head outside and you’ll find a stunning brick-laid patio that makes for an awesome open-air ceremony site and/or reception space. In total, the venue covers 6,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 220 guests. 

Phoenix Zoo - Ruby’s House, 455 N Galvin Parkway

If you want to be surrounded by some real party animals on your big day, head over to the courtyard at Ruby’s House at the heart of the Phoenix Zoo. It’s paved with cobblestones, surrounded by leafy foliage, and has a built-in pergola, decorated with twinkling fairy lights that you can say your “I dos” beneath. It’s large enough to fit up to 150 guests, making it a great option for small to medium-sized celebrations. 

Hidden Lake, 2444 W Sunrise Drive

Make the short 45-minute drive from Phoenix’s city center to Buckeye to take advantage of all that Hidden Lake has to offer. The multipurpose event space is located on a 120-acre property and features mountain and lakefront views and sandy shores (unlike anything you’ll find in the actual city).  

You can dress it up however you want with the help of rentals, but you won’t need much because the sights you’ll see are so breathtaking. Basically, if you’ve been dreaming of a beachy wedding, this is the place to go around Phoenix. It can work with guest lists as short as 50 guests and as long as 1000 guests. 

The Arthouse Venue, 26782 N Donna Place

It’s located just outside of Phoenix in the Queen Creek area and flaunts pine trees, wildflowers, and everything you could ever ask for in a forest wedding venue. It has plenty of items and amenities you can add to your wedding package (like farm tables and a ceremony arch), so you won’t have to make your own, independent rentals. It has a capacity of 300 guests.

The Village By Aldea Weddings, 4150 W Peoria Ave
