Ideal Indoor & Outdoor Spaces

Arizona is appealing for weddings thanks to its generally sunny, warm climate, which lends to fair weather, beautiful photos, and a resort-style destination for guests. However, triple-degree summer heat can pose challenges at times. Fortunately, Colby Falls offers both indoor ceremony and reception spaces, providing a comfortable air-conditioned option even during the warmest months.

The venue features gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows for stunning indoor ceremonies, too. There are also multiple attached patios throughout the venue to give guests the option to enjoy the indoor amenities or enjoy the outdoor scenery. Scenic spots at Colby Falls include the dramatic grand waterfall, pergola-covered courtyard, and cozy patio. With options for any weather, Colby Falls makes for a picturesque Arizona wedding location all year round!

One of couples' favorite features at Colby Falls is the two exclusive get-ready suites for wedding parties to get ready in. The first suite includes a grand mirror for getting ready photos, a row of vanities for hair/makeup prep, a private handicap-accessible restroom, and seating so friends and family can join. The team stocks beverages in both suites for pre-ceremony refreshments.

The second get-ready suite features leather lounge-style seating with a TV, wet bar, mini fridge, pool table, dart board, and cocktail table seating. This suite has ample space and can accommodate up to 50 guests! This luxurious space also has an attached private patio, allowing suite guests to flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Couples have full access to both suites for their entire reception!
