Red Agave was the venue for our wedding in May 2025 and it fit our needs of an 80 person destination wedding perfectly! It provided amazing southwest views with an intimate setting... for our friends and family for a whole weekend and is truly one-of-a-kind.
We had about 45 guests stay on site at the studios and chalets, which are clean, modern and adorable. We were also able to receive a discounted rate at the Holiday Inn Express, which is about a 5 minute walk away. The fire pit, pool, and sitting areas made it a perfect place for everyone to mingle for the weekend even for those who weren’t staying on property. It feels a little bit like summer camp when all of your guests check in for the weekend in the best way possible.
For planning the wedding, this venue is pretty bare-bones, which means the world is your oyster. We had a traditional ceremony, followed by cocktail hour, and seated dinner with a buffet. We rented all our our tables and chairs from Verve Rentals and Tents, who provided everything we needed with set up and take down. For the rest of the weekend, we had a welcome party with a taco bar around the pool and a farewell brunch (pastries and fruit from Safeway) and were able to host in the space provided. The courtyard is very versatile and provides a stunning backdrop for every event. An awesome bonus is the trailhead leaving from the back of the property -- our guests found it to be an easy way to go on a hike without driving and it provided breathtaking views for our wedding portraits.
The staff at Red Agave is very helpful and friendly. All of our guests commented on how friendly everyone was and enjoyed having conversations with everyone at the front desk (thanks Trish and Heather!). We used Stephanie as our all-in-one coordinator who was in touch with us through the process, answering all of our questions (we had a bunch since we were planning from far away!!). During the wedding, they were very professional and courteous and a blast to work with!
If you are getting married here we highly recommend using the coordinator package! They were all so helpful the day of with setting up and taking down (they set all of our tables up, put out decorations, met with vendors, etc). Also highly recommend using the preferred vendors on the list -- this is a shameless plug for Wil’s Grill’s catering who provided the absolute best food and service for the whole weekend!!! We can’t wait to come back to celebrate an anniversary here one day!
