family and friends! wanted to let you know that it is VERY important that you arrive to the ceremony no later than 4:15pm for the wedding as doors will be shut shortly after this time to ensure an on-time ceremony start.

We know many of you may travel quite a distance to be with us for our special day. We encourage you to spend some time in Arizona and enjoy the sunshine while you're here. Here is a list of places to visit and things to try if you are planning an extended stay.
The Beach House
501 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012, (602) 277-0399
Matthew and Rachel had their first date here!
All the food is DELICIOUS and cheap;)
Bam Kazam
8999 Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85250, (480) 378-3640
Matthew and Rachel's first double date was here and although they didn't complete that many escape rooms it was a blast and filled with a lot of laughter.
Great for families or groups of friends!
Piestewa Peak Trailhead
2701 Piestewa Peak Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85016
If you're craving an early morning hike this is one of Rachel's favorites! It's got an amazing view and not too challenging (she describes it as a stair master hike).
Culinary Dropout
383 North Gilbert Road, Gilbert, AZ 85234, (480) 653-9701
Great spot to get yummy bites and they even have an outdoor patio section with yard games! It's a super fun and tasty place.
And fun fact: Rachel worked for the owner for a short time too:)
Window Coffee Bar
903 West Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85013
All time favorite coffee shop, and the most visited, by the couple. The friendliest staff and cutest vibe inside!
Grand Canyon University Championship Golf Course
5902 West Indian School Road, Phoenix, AZ 85033
There are many courses around the valley but as two GCU grads ;) and it being Matthew's go-to spot to hit some balls we think you should check out this course if you have the time!
Luci's at the Orchard
7100 North 12th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85020, (602) 633-2442
The perfect brunch spot! Luci's is so tasty and a favorite by all of the couple's friends. There's indoor and outdoor seating and a little gift shop to browse around too!
Postino East
302 North Gilbert Road, Gilbert, AZ 85234, (480) 632-6363
Organ Stop Pizza
1149 East Southern Avenue, Mesa, AZ 85204
A unique and fun place to stop for a meal while you're in the area - definitely worth the visit if you're like Matthew and love pizza and music!
