Val Vista Lakes

Val Vista Lakes is a beautiful venue and unique to the valley. If you are looking for a venue other than a golf course and cactus scenery, then this is the place to go. Janet and the Val Vista Lakes team are amazing and professional. This place is also great if you want to choose your own vendors such as DJ, caterer, and decor. Janet did a wonderful job meeting with my bridal party and helped my ceremony run perfect. I highly reccommend this venue to anyone seeking a beautiful spot for their wedding and reception.

Janet was so friendly to work with and made everything so easy in preparing for our wedding day at Val Vista Lakes. She was very speedy with returning emails and phone calls. Just a very pleasant person to work with when planning such an important day! The venue itself was perfect…everything was green and the flowers were all fresh. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to have our wedding!

The venue is gorgeous! Everyone is very helpful and willing to help making sure everything goes well.

Love, Love This Place. They are Affordable and it made my wedding the fairytale wedding that i have always wanted. The scenery is amazing and the staff are outstanding! Janet & Lori, made my day that most amazing! We recommend to anyone, thinking of having my next baby shower there as well! :-)

Great reception venue! Makes great pictures. Janet was wonderful.

Val Vista Lakes was absolutely gorgeous! I love that they let you bring in all outside vendors which really helps on saving money. It's a great place to get married if you are on a budget. They have great discounts for off season weddings! They also provide really beautiful centerpieces at no extra cost, all you need to purchase is the tea candles to fill them. My reception did get a little warm, so ask that the AC is turned cooler before all the guests arrive. I used Clive Van Rensburg, one of Val Vista Lake’s preferred photographers and was very happy because he was experienced at shooting at Val Vista Lakes. We were able to shoot all our pictures in all the perfect areas quickly to avoid the hot July heat. The outside and inside are both beautiful and perfect for pictures! I was very happy I did my wedding reception at Val Vista Lakes.

Val Vista Lakes Clubhouse was exactly what we were looking for in a reception venue. The clubhouse is pretty, with picturesque grounds, and they allow you to bring in your own vendors and alcohol which was key for us. The flexibility of this venue is great for couples who want to be able to use vendors of their choice (although this is a lot of work!)During the planning, and actual reception they are pretty hands off, but this was perfect for us since we weren’t having our ceremony there, and DIY a lot of details. However, the banquet manager was always very responsive and helpful when needed, and we received our deposit back within a week of our wedding. Overall, I would recommend VVL without reservation, and think that it is easily worth the money especially during the summer season when there is a 20% discount.

Val Vista Lakes was our definite first choice! We love the venue (waterfalls, lake background, beautiful inside, bathrooms are nice too!, bridal suite, gazebo for cocktail hour). Additionally, venue location was good especially for anyone who lives on Eastside and very easy to find. Great opportunities for pictures. Plenty of parking for all the guests. We got to bring in all our own vendors and bring in our own alcohol which saved us cost. Our wedding party was 200 to the max and I was worried the venue would look too packed like sardines but it wasn't. IT was perfect!! We even had chiavari chairs at almost half the running cost and it really made the room more elegant! And at initial site visit we thought the dance floor might be too small but in reality, even for 200 guests it was PERFECT. AND we had almost every person on the dance floor slow dancing at one point. This venue is nearly flawless. Janet at VVL is professional and great at her job. Our wedding was beautiful and our sparkler exit was amazing :) our wedding guests started singin Katy Perry's "firework" as we walked out! Only con: community residents swimming in pool and using lagoon. as a bride, i hardly noticed them. as a guest, possib diff story. but after researching venues and doing so many site visits with my fiance, VVL's pros FAR outweighted the only con.

When we first got engaged, we spent hours researching venues near and far. We live in the west valley, so we were trying to stay closer to home. My fiance & I reviewed Val Vista's website & it was the only venue that he commented on. He told me that was his choice. Long story short, we switched the venue we had initially chosen to Val Vista in Dec of last year. From the second we made that decision, my mind was instantly put at ease. Janet is the one to thank for that. She answered every email with every little question I had, no matter how small or large the question was. She worked with all of my venders the day of my wedding & made sure everything went as I had planned and even timed everything down to the minute. I am so thankful for Val Vista and Janet. My guests were very impressed from start to finish. I can honestly say, I wouldn't change a thing about my wedding! Oh & the place is georgeous!! Many amazing picture opps!!

My fiance & I fell in love with Val Vista Lakes during our initial tour. It was such a beautiful venue, we knew immediately that we wanted our wedding to be there. Janet & the Val Vista Lakes staff was always very accommodating & helpful. We would highly suggest Val Vista Lakes for anyone who wants to 'wow' their guests. Our families and friends still tell us how beautiful our wedding was, and we couldn't be happier with our decision.

I had a fantastic experience with VVL. The coordinator Janet was on top of everything at every turn of the way. She took charge when she needed to, but when my day-of coordinator stepped in, she allowed her to take the reins, but stood by in case she was needed. She was very prompt in replying to e-mails, and was always very detail oriented. All in all- I had a great experience with them!

Val Vista Lakes was an absolutely perfect place to have the wedding and reception. Because they let you bring in all your own vendors, it helps keep the costs down. Laura and Janet were both very easy to work with and the place is absolutely STUNNING!It's not an expensive place as long as you're not looking for a Friday or Saturday night (as it is with most places). Then the price jumps, but it's still comparable to other venues. I couldn't have asked for anything better for the wedding!

The clubhouse was absolutely gorgeous and we have since received so many compliments on the wedding venue. Janet was great to work with, very accommodating of all of our needs and responded to emails very quickly. Because we are members of Val Vista Lakes, we got to rent the venue for a fabulous price. Overall, it was a great experience.

val vista lakes is a gorgoeus place to hold your wedding. They dont offer anything like linens or catering which can be good or bad. You can pick and chose what you like but it will also be extra work for you. Whenever I had a question Janet got back to me within 24 hours. My one major complaint was I found the people living in the community were not considerate during the wedding. At the grand exit everyone was suppose to grab a sparkler. Apparently the church group across the hall was grabbing our sparklers on their way out. FOr our photos people that were living in the community were walking into our cocktail hour, and actually WALKING THROUGH our photos!!! We were told they would do their best to keep the community out of our wedding what happened?

janet was very easy to work with, everything went so smooth it was scary

We loved our wedding at Val Vista Lakes and everything went very smoothly. Janet was great to work with and always answered questions quickly and was very helpful. Everyone remarked on how beautiful the venue was. I liked the fact that we could bring in our own vendors to personalize the wedding.

I really loved having my ceremony and reception at Val Vista Lakes. Janet (the banquet manager) is really kind, and she knows a lot about the industry. She was the best part about VVL. I was not so impressed with her assistant Laura who worked my wedding. My vendors needed to find her before the wedding, and she couldn't be located. She showed up to coordinate the ceremony and then disappeared again. Aside from that, my guests gave me so many complements on how beautiful the place was. It's really a great value for a Sunday through Thursday wedding.

Val Vista Lakes makes for an absolutely beautiful wedding location! I was so pleased with the venue and everything it had to offer. Just gorgeous! I especially liked that I was able to bring in all my own vendors. Janet and Laura was a pleasure to work with as well. Both were very professional and quick to return my emails or phone calls. Val Vista was the first and only venue I visited, and I fell in love with it as soon as I walked through. My now husband was unable to see the location until the day of the wedding, as he was stationed overseas for a year, but he could not have been happier with my choice in having our wedding at Val Vista Lakes. He loved it as much as I did! Not only that, but we received tons of compliments, more so than any other vendor we used, on how much our guests loved the location. It's beautiful during the day and at night when all the lights are shining, it's stunning!Thanks a million to Val Vista Lakes for being part of our special day. It could not have been any more perfect. We would recommend this location to anyone.

Absolutely Beautiful venue.. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that the lagoon was accessible to the public.. But thats ok, not a big thing. Janet is wonderful! She was so helpful throughout the whole process. I recommend having your wedding here. The grounds are gorgeous!

Val Vista is absolutely beautiful. With the waterfalls, gazebo for cocktail hour. It was our perfect place because we wanted to do our wedding our way. You rent the facilities and then you are free to do what you want. Our pictures came out wonderful. WE had such a good time that we wanted to do it again!
