Things To Do

We are so exited to share some of our favorite places (and a whole lot of our favorite food) with you! Although the wedding is in Peoria, if you fly into Phoenix, you may be interested in checking out some of the spots we've recommended in the Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe area. Or head on up to Lake Pleasant and spend some time on the water or at the Marina!

Hank Raymond Lodge

(Nearby) Pleasant Harbor @ Lake Pleasant

Old 87th Ave, Peoria, AZ 85393

Pleasant Harbor is conveniently located on the beautiful southeastern shores of Lake Pleasant in Peoria, Arizona, just outside of the Phoenix Metro area. We are open to the public and offer facilities to go boating, fishing, swimming, water skiing, wakeboarding, scuba diving, sailing, hiking, kayaking and even flyboarding! Whether you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, or simply wish to have some fun in the sun, Lake Pleasant is the perfect anytime getaway.

(Day Trip) Sedona, Arizona

Sedona is an Arizona desert town near Flagstaff that’s surrounded by red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests. It’s noted for its mild climate and vibrant arts community. Uptown Sedona is dense with New Age shops, spas and art galleries. On the town’s outskirts, numerous trailheads access Red Rock State Park, which offers bird-watching, hiking and picnicking spots.

(Day Trip) Grand Canyon

S Entrance Rd, Grand Canyon Village, AZ 86023

One of the world's wonders is only a couple hours away! Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. The South Rim is open all year. The North Rim is open for the season.

(Downtown Phoenix) Angels Trumpet Ale House

810 North 2nd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004
, (602) 252-2630

This is probably one of our favorite restaurants EVER! We spent many date nights, birthdays, and family meals at this place. They've got a fun gastro pub vibe with a LOT of craft beers on tap. Kaitlin's favorite food is the Churchill grilled cheese with their home made pop tart for dessert! Ross' favorite is their chicken sandwich!

(Mesa) Backyard Taco - Mesa North

1524 East University Drive, Mesa, AZ 85203
, (480) 464-8226

When we bought our first house in Mesa, we were thrilled by the countless Mexican food options within 5 minutes from our home! If you happen to be in the Mesa area, this Backyard Taco location is very close to our first house location and is one of our favorite Mexican food spots in the valley! We were here more often then we care to admit, but SO WORTH IT.

(Downtown Phoenix) Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour

1 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003
, (602) 340-1924

With a speakeasy vibe and comprehensive (delicious) drink menu, this quickly became one of our favorite cocktail bars in the valley! If you find yourself in downtown phoenix for a night, check it out!

(Tempe) Snooze an A.M. Eatery

615 South College Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85281
, (480) 355-1934

A Colorado favorite that came to AZ, this is Kaitlin's favorite brunch spot! This location is on ASU campus and a short distance from our college home near Tempe Town Lake. Highly recommend everything on their menu (my favorite was the breakfast pot pie)!

(Phoenix) The Farm at South Mountain

6106 South 32nd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85042
, (602) 276-6360

A beautiful venue with a wonderful restaurant! This also happens to be the place Ross proposed to me the night before we headed to the Galapagos Islands!

Westgate shopping center has shops, restaurants, bars, and is home to the AZ Cardinal's Football Stadium and Arizona Coyotes Hockey Arena! Still from NJ we cheer on our AZ Coyotes from afar.
