WEDDINGS

Weddings at El Encanto are extraordinarily romantic and popular!!

The enchanted setting lends itself to the perfect wedding.

El Encanto has the most beautiful patio in the Valley. The old world architecture charms in every way! The highlights include brick floors, hand-laid slate stone accents, Mexican tiles, and an amazing pond filled with ducks, turtles and tons of fish. And in every corner and all around the pond, flowers, plants and enormous enchanting trees. Plus, a beautiful tiled archway to silhouette your nuptials, and cozy fireplaces. All offer a dreamy backdrop for any event and to your memories in charming photos.

We could not have selected a better venue for our February wedding/reception. El Encanto exceeded our expectations. Summer was so great to work with. She ensured all details were taken care of, and helped make our special day perfect! The food is always delicious at El Encanto, and the margarita fountain was a huge hit!! Almost every guest commented on how wonderful the venue was. If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic spot to get married in the Cave Creek/Scottsdale area, El Encanto is your place. I highly recommend them!!

El Encanto is absolutely gorgeous! Between the pond, the flowers, and the vibrant desert colors, our wedding felt so quaint and cozy—exactly what we wanted. The South Patio was perfect for our guest list of over 100 people, and the atmosphere was both intimate and spacious. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel so special throughout the entire day. Summer, the event coordinator, was amazing to work with—she made the planning process easy and always responded quickly to emails, which I really appreciated. And the food? Truly to die for! El Encanto’s menu is always a hit, and it was no different at our wedding—everything was delicious. If you’re looking for a cozy, beautiful venue with amazing food at a reasonable price, I can’t recommend El Encanto enough (any of the three locations!).

We had both our ceremony and our reception here for our wedding in December. We had reached out to them months in advance, and Summer was an amazing coordinator for us. She provided us lots of information about different packages for weddings and was quick to answer all of our questions. The venue itself was beautiful the day of. We loved the lights around the trees and the fresh flowers. The venue provided table settings, and allowed us to come beforehand to set up all of our own decorations as well. The food was delicious, and us and all of our guests really enjoyed it. The staff was super helpful and kind to all of our guests, and we truly didn’t have to worry about anything during our reception; it was all taken care of. When any issues did come up with the planning process, Summer was able to get them fixed in no time, and was super receptive and kind to all of our concerns. I would certainly recommend this venue!

El Encanto surpassed our expectations for a wedding venue. Our wedding coordinator was highly involved and communicated very well. Our guests loved the food, margaritas, and beautiful setting. We loved the service, convenience, and visually stunning wedding ceremony and reception setting for wonderful pictures!

We loved having our wedding at El Encanto! We had both our ceremony and our reception on their South Patio, with a total of about 75 people. The whole team was amazing at communicating with us long distance while we planned everything, and they made everything very easy the day of. The food and drinks were great and we loved the romantic ambiance of the tile archway, pond, and trees. I cannot recommend them enough! It was everything we hoped for and more.
