Recently engaged and searching for the perfect wedding venue in Arizona? If a desert wedding is what you’re dreaming of, I’ve got the best options for you right here. Check out these Apache Junction wedding venues in the desert and let me know which one steals your heart!
Before we dive in, let me tell you a bit about Apache Junction. Tucked near the iconic Superstition Mountains, Apache Junction has some of the most jaw-dropping views that I have ever seen. And, it makes saying “I do” even more romantic in the desert. This spot is a hidden gem, offering the perfect mix of natural beauty and serenity—ideal for your dream desert wedding.
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this wedding venue quite a few times, and every single visit has been absolutely incredible! The Paseo, located in Apache Junction, is known for its cool industrial vibe. What makes this venue so iconic is its prime location—right at the foot of the Superstition Mountains and next to the Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel. If you’re into rock ‘n’ roll and beautiful desert and mountain views, The Paseo might just be the perfect Apache Junction wedding venue for you!
Guest Capacity: 200 guests
Cost: Starting at $10,500
Ceremony: Outdoor
Reception: Indoor/Outdoor
One of my favorite things about The Paseo is the indoor reception space. The expansive windows offer stunning views of the Superstition Mountains and the ceremony area. As the sun sets, the string lights throughout the cocktail space create a dreamy atmosphere. Hence, why it’s the perfect boho desert wedding venue!
Desert View is a newer wedding venue that is both classy and timeless. What I love most is that all the buildings are white with large glass windows, offering breathtaking views of the desert and mountains. Because of this, it almost feels like you’re right outside with the natural environment!
Guest Capacity: 225 Guests
Cost: Starting at $9,000
Ceremony: Indoor/Outdoor
Reception: Indoor/Outdoor
If you’re new here, let me introduce you to one of my all-time favorites: Lost Dutchman’s State Park! As I have said about 23 times in this blog already, the views of the Superstition Mountains are absolutely unbeatable!! But, you truly won’t find scenery like this anywhere else, which makes it super unique! Plus, it’s perfect for group camping if you’re looking to do something special for your wedding reception.
Guest Capacity: Quail Group Camp (up to 150 guests); Day Use Ramada’s (up to 25 guests).
Cost: Price varies depending on how many guests if you’re hosting a ceremony, rehearsal + reception.

As a matter of fact, Cloth and Flame is on a mission to celebrate Arizona’s unique beauty and promote conservation (which I believe is super neat!). After all, their main location is right in the heart of the Superstition Mountains.
