Croft Downtown by Wedgewood Weddings was a stunning, magical, and modern wedding venue that was perfect for our special day. The communication from the venue was sometimes confusing but quick to respond and the staff was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire planning process. They went above and beyond on the day of our wedding, ensuring that I never felt overwhelmed or stressed.

I can’t thank them enough. Our venue canceled on us last minute and I reached out and they not only were they caring and professional but they moved a bunch around to accommodate me and my wedding 3 weeks before the wedding. It was clean and beautiful and would even rent again for a birthday party or anniversary party. Thank you for making our day so special

The Cottage Wedding Venue 

4.8

Gilbert, AZ
  • Up to 155 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,980

Your wedding should be a representation of your individual personalities as well as your mutual love and vibe as a couple. It showcases you in front of your guests and sets the tone as to what the new chapter of your life starts out as. It all starts with a venue. Location is arguably the most important part of the wedding planning process. It is not only the first thing that will make an impact, but the entire atmosphere will be infused into every aspect of the event. That’s why, couples who love to be outdoors, are moving away from traditional wedding options and choosing backyard weddings with a more comfortable event venue and atmosphere. You don’t need to fly to an exotic place to have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day. While the sandy beaches and mountains are nice, the trees and blooming flowers in a garden are just as good. Another advantage of organizing your wedding outdoors is to let Mother Nature take the lead in decorating.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues

Destiny and Dina did amazing at accommodating, communication and being quick with a fix being that is rained on my wedding day ALL day. The food through the venue was amazing!!!! My only complaint would be wishing we had been able to get to the venue earlier than we were allowed, felt a little rushed. Overall loved the venue & the girls.

Our wedding was perfect. Summer, the event manager, was so easy to work with and so flexible. Pricing was also affordable as we couldn't justify spending what a lot of people are spending on their weddings. Bonus that the food is amazing so what you get normally as a restaurant patron is what you can expect at your wedding. Only bummer is that it is a restaurant so you can't bring outside liquor or food (besides a cake). The food wasn't an issue for us as I wanted the fajitas and flan (hands down best flan I've ever had, by the way), but alcohol could have been cheaper if we could have brought our own. We did have to pay normal drink pricing which made this part hard to budget/plan as it went over what we anticipated even with champagne and a margarita fountain accounted for. But that’s not enough of a negative, just something to note when choosing this place. The South Patio in Cave Creek is so beautiful we hardly used (or needed) any decor. Best part about using this restaurant as our venue - we can now visit on future anniversaries for dinner and reminisce about our special day.
