Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
The Arizona Biltmore loves a beautiful wedding. It has been celebrating the most iconic love stories since its glamorous grand opening in 1929. From those first butterflies of happy anticipation right through to the last crumb of delicious cake, everyone at the hotel feels tremendously proud to be a part of such a magical occasion.
The meticulously cared-for landscape makes an incredible backdrop for beautiful weddings. Celebrate your love in front of a meticulously cultivated flower garden lined by towering palm trees in the Paradise Garden. The delicate blooms and iconic Biltmore blocks frame your grand bridal entrance as a historic Saguaro watches over your ceremony. The Cottage Lawn is the perfect setting for an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony or cocktail hour. Read your vows under a lush green canopy of leaves that will provide the ideal backdrop for your love story. Surrounded by the original 1929 Cottages and overlooked by Piestewa Peak, the space embodies a historic allure.
However, if you prefer a dazzling indoor setting, choose the original dining room on the property, the Gold Room. This stunning room has encountered nearly a century of one-of-a-kind evenings and is home to the second largest golden ceiling in the world – behind the Taj Mahal. Additionally, floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural sunlight to transition into desert starlight as your guests dance the night away. Cement your love story in the original ballroom of the Arizona Biltmore, the Aztec Room. Covered with the original 18-karat gold-leaf ceiling and copper beams from 1929, the historic room provides a warm glow to every wedding. It also features two fireplaces and an outdoor patio perfect for your cocktail reception. The Grand Ballroom features floor-to-ceiling windows, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired chandeliers, and a nearby lawn with stunning mountain views. Hence, the space elevates every event into glamorous grandeur.
The world’s leading dignitaries, celebrities, and shining lights have adored the Arizona Biltmore’s magical setting, famous design, and innate sense of effortless chic for nearly 100 years – and you are now invited to do the same.
