Hi All!
This is my first post on the board so I'm definitely looking for suggestions for every aspect of my wedding. My fiance and I live in Brooklyn, NY and got engaged about 3 weeks ago. The plan is to get married in Phoenix, which is my hometown, next March(ish). I've been living here in NYC for about 4 years now and haven't had a friend get married in AZ in a while, so I feel like I'm a little out of the loop now as to what the best vendors would be. We're planning on about 100 or so guests at our wedding and are open to indoor/outdoor depending on the space. We'd like a more non-traditional wedding for the most part. I'm having my mom scour venues for me. This week she checked out some of the downtown Phoenix venues (MonOrchid, The Icehouse, and Bentley Projects) and also checked out the Japanese Friendship Garden, but none of which she thought were exactly right. As of now for me, the Bentley Projects art gallery is a front-runner but we still have a lot of searching to do. I should also mention that my fiance is a musician and spends a lot of weekends playing in wedding bands, so there's A LOT that he has opinions on and has soured to the idea of most things traditional. I'm looking for a venue with a lot of freedom in terms of vendors as well. The more flexible, the better. Anyway, any input on where to start or where to look for the out of the ordinary would be helpful!
Thanks!
