FireSky Resort

My wedding ceremony and reception was held at this venue in July 2008. This is a beautiful resort and is ideal for a wedding with many out of town guests, as there are many gathering areas around the resort that your guests will enjoy. The ceremony area is beautiful and overlooks a small lagoon. The surrounding grounds are very lush and green, perfect for photo opportunities. Another thing I liked alot about this venue, was that the ceremony and reception areas are adjacent to each other. There is a nice patio area in-between the ceremony and reception areas that is perfect for the transition from ceremony, to cocktails, to the reception. The food and service was outstanding. Also, their wedding package includes wedding night accomocations for the bride and groom with champagne & strawberries, breakfast the morning after, complimentary champagne toast (for all guests) at the reception, personalized wedding cake, and complimentary valet parking for your guests. Their wedding coordinator is very helpful and considerate. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding in the Scottsdale area. Also, they offer significant discounts in the summer months.

We could not have received more compliments about this location! Almost 80% of our guests come to our wedding from out of state locations and we received so much praise about what a fabulous weekend everyone had at the resort. The ceremony site and grounds of the hotel are beautiful. So many perfect photo locations! KT, the coordinator was fantastic to work with, she is so much fun and I felt very special on my big day! She brought me champagne while getting my nails done at the salon and checked on me throughout the day. Everyone said the food was the best. After our tasting several months prior to the wedding, I knew that we had chosen the right place as the food itself was going to be a highlight of the night. And it was! As far as price, we got quite a shock when the price was LESS than we expected. My husband and I braved the heat (and forced our guests to endure an outdoor ceremony) and got married in June, we received a discounted rate for our food as it was the off season. In return, we had to pay for a full 5 hours of open bar just to meet our minimum! That was much more than we had planned, but it ended up being perfect. With most of our guests staying at the hotel, they were able to enjoy themselves and not stress about driving home. The only downfall of this location was the reservations and front desk people. Several times I, or my guests called and no one even picked up the phone! We struggled to get some of the reservations taken care of. However, I simply bypassed the front desk and started contacting the group reservations person myself for my guests. It was a lot easier and they solved any problems quickly. I would recommend this beautiful resort. It is such a perfect setting for a wedding.. great ceremony site and nice rooms for your reception.

Though we did have some issues with using an iPod for the reception it was well done every where else. KT Thompson was sweet, funny and really easy to work with. (Though be warned, she does a lot of weddings and some times can be a little bit overwhelmed and forget stuff, just email her so she is reminded.)

The FireSky was amazing from start to finish. The service was perfect, the property is lovely, and the food was truly delicious! KT is a great coordinator- you can't go wrong with her on your side!!!

The resort itself is beautiful! We loved the location and surrounding landscaping. Also, the staff on the night of our wedding was fantastic, including the banquet captain Dolores (they sold our promised honeymoon suite to another group that came in that night, but Dolores was able to get us the Presidential suite. We had not even met her before our wedding night but she went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience). That said, the process was quite frustrating. From the site wedding coordinator (KT), to the front desk staff, to reservations, things were completely unorganized. We got the runaround on guest rooms, even after calling the head of reservations and having her take care of them herself. Several times they claimed to guests (and us) that they had no said wedding on file and no rooms available. They lost a lot of revenue from our guests, as they got frustrated and went elsewhere. Also, they lost 2 of our payments. The first check was our deposit, and the last payment of a credit card payment. The resort called and said it went through, then the day BEFORE our wedding, we got a large bill because they did not process it the month earlier. In addition, a week later my parents' credit card was billed (without authorization) for a charge that was never incurred. The irresponsibilty with our checks and credit numbers made us upset and nervous. In addition, the coordinator was hard to get a hold of, and when I did relay information to her, it was more often than not, messed up or not even acknowledged later. Even when I met with her face to face and saw her writing this information in our file. The day of went wonderfully, but not due to the resort. It was because our family is extremely organized and prepared.

We loved getting married here. They worked with our schedule and gave us many upgrades with no cost to us! I would definatly recommend them to anyone!

The venue was beautiful, but I felt that I was just another name on the list. I didn't receive very personalized service, the venue was overpriced, and the coordinator never got back to me when I called or emailed. I didn't even meet her until the actual day of the wedding she was so busy.

Firesky is a beautiful location for your ceremony and reception. The staff is fantastic and very helpful from the planning stages through the very end of your reception. Firesky is also perfect for weddings with a lot of out of town guests. It is a fabulous resort, so your guests will be happy to stay onsite and enjoy all of the wedding festivities without having to drive anywhere.
