Multiple Unique Wedding Sites in One Historic Setting

Couples can choose from a variety of ceremony and reception spaces, each with its own distinct personality:

  • A picturesque vintage chapel, complete with a white picket fence and antique pews

  • A reconstructed historic opera house ideal for intimate receptions

  • A two-acre lawn centered around a white gazebo

  • “The Livery,” a covered, open-air barn with rustic flair

  • A lush outdoor space at the base of a desert mountain, complete with a cascading waterfall backdrop

Few Arizona wedding venues offer this much variety, all within a single property rooted in authentic territorial history.

Affordable Packages for Every Wedding Style

Affordability is a major highlight at Pioneer Weddings & Events. From elegant full-scale celebrations to romantic micro weddings, there’s something for every couple and budget. Their $1,000 micro wedding package (also known as a “shotgun wedding”) includes three hours of chapel time for up to 50 guests, with music, an officiant, pew bows, and a draped altar rail.

Larger chapel weddings—accommodating up to 120 guests—also include these décor elements, while reception packages at the Opera House or Livery start with a base rate for 50 guests and offer affordable pricing for additional guests. All-inclusive reception packages include linens, tableware, and catering: appetizers, entrées, salad, sides, lemonade, and iced tea. Couples are also welcome to bring their own alcohol, which can be served by a professional bartender provided by the venue.
