Villa Tuscana

Beautiful place don’t get me wrong, however the lack of communication, or what they call «miscommunication» is pathetic. Not very professional if you ask me.

We had our wedding reception at Villa Tuscana last June 27, 2015 and up to this day, our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed our wedding.
We only had less than six months to plan everything. And due to a very limited budget, we decided not to hire a wedding planner/​coordinator; which is why it was a blessing when we found Villa Tuscana Reception Hall at the Phoenix Bridal Show last January.
I posed a challenge to Gretchen, the banquet manager at Villa Tuscana. One, I had a tiny budget but I wanted a lot of things. Two, we only had less than six months to plan everything. Villa Tuscana rose up to the challenge and passed it with flying colors.
Working with the people from Villa Tuscana felt like I had one of those expensive wedding planners. They took care of most everything I needed for my wedding. It almost seemed as if all our family needed to do was just show up because almost everything was already taken care of. From the first-​class personalized service of Villa Tuscana’s Gretchen from day one to the elegantly decorated venue and superb food and beverage service on the day itself; from the scrumptious food catered by Babbo Italian Eatery to the amazing decadent cake from Bamboo Bakery; from the awesome music selection and program coordination by Arizona’s DJ Jerry Topete to the coolest and impressive photography service of Jordan from J&L Photo and Video; my wedding could not have been any more perfect than it turned out to be. All of these came in the most affordable package that Villa Tuscana had offered us in January.
One would think that with a tiny budget, one can’t get the wedding of their dreams. Not with Villa Tuscana. One would also think that without a wedding coordinator, one would be stressed out on their own wedding day. Again, not with Villa Tuscana. I got what every bride deserved to have on their wedding day: pampering and spoiling. This bride did not lift a finger. No, ma’am. In fact, there was not an ounce of worry whatsoever. I actually enjoyed my own wedding and truly felt that it was indeed OUR party, that we were the guests of honor.
With Villa Tuscana, anyone can have their dream wedding. It is either that or my family and I are just really lucky people to have found this gem that is Villa Tuscana. Actually, strike that, Villa Tuscana is the treasure chest which contained all these gems: Gretchen, Dustin from Babbo Italian Eatery, David from Bamboo Bakery, Jerry from Arizona’s DJ and Jordan from J&L Photo and Video. Thanks to them, our wedding is more memorable and more special than it already was.

BEST VENUE EVER!!! We were so worried that we couldnt find a nice place to have our wedding with our budget, and then we came to Villa Tuscana and that was solved! Our ceremony was indoors in the Ventian hall. Gretchan the ceremony coordinator was so helpful. She got all the details and even though we were a little complicated with certain things she got it all! All the staff was good that night, waiters, DJ Jerry and etc. We did everything cake and photo too. We never worried about anything even though I was so stressed the month of the wedding everything with the venue was great. Would recommend to friends and family!

Very beautiful Venue! It is great place to have wedding! My best friend wedding was there and they have a great package! Love this location! Good service ! Check it out if you are looking for the Reception Hall for your next event!

Villa Tuscana is a beautiful venue! Adriana the owner is very nice, professional, and helpful. My husband and I had our wedding reception at this location. The support staff the day of the wedding did a good job of making sure the food from our caterer was set up nicely and put away nicely. We opted for a plan that did not include many extra services but we were still happy with almost all of the services we did receive. Villa Tuscana does take payments and there is a security deposit. Payments are in the form of check and they will take credit cards but there were some other stipulations involved with doing that.
The only reason I did not give Villa Tuscana five stars is because when I went in the day before my reception I noticed that my entry way table was very plain. I asked if we could put one of the table centerpiece decorations or something there to add to the look of it. The staff member Rachel agreed but when I got to my wedding reception the next day there was nothing but my few items on the big table. Also, I noticed that the floating candle centerpieces that I had chosen were minus one glass out of a three set. I deduced that since the other room being set up for a wedding/​reception across the hall had chosen those same centerpieces (I could see into the other room from the hallway) the venue chose to put the whole sets in the other room because they may not have had enough for both rooms. I had a «bridezilla» moment to my bridesmaid about it but decided that it was not worth the drama to demand that my floating candle centerpieces had three glasses like they had originally showed me when I chose them. The day before my event I also discussed with Rachel putting the square mirrors under the floating candle sets as I had seen when I came in the month before to choose my final centerpieces. She told me that the mirrors were a little knicked up and would take away from the look of the tables. Had I been a true bridezilla these may have been big issues for me but I am more easy-​going as my husband will attest. This did not ruin my experience with Villa Tuscana but it did make me a little sad that I got less than what I had originally liked.
It is worth it to go look at Villa Tuscana and go over the different pricing plans and add-​ons. It is truly a beautiful venue that is in a quiet shopping plaza with many other wedding themed stores. Just keep in mind that if you are very particular you may want to be adamant about specific things getting done. It seemed like everyone had a good time at my reception and that makes me happy.
