I can not even begin to say enough good things about Regency Garden you will not be disappointed!

I can not say enough about how wonderful Regency Garden was. They were available to me at every step of the way. They treated me like I was the only bride getting married at their venue for the whole year! The day of the ceremony was so worry free. The venue is beautiful and intimate. Our guests loved the place, we got so many compliments on the location. Our entire families and my husband and I had an amazing time. Thank you Regency Garden!

Chris, the owner, was fantastic! He answered all of our questions promptly and was friendly every time we met with him. He made the planning stress-free and the day of the wedding was perfect! It was beautiful and I wouldn't change a thing!

Chris, the owner of Regency Garden, and his staff were professional, knowledgable and friendly, and provided us with outstanding service as well as peace of mind by answering all of our questions and explaining scenarios we hadn't even thought of.
We appreciated the convenience of using the excellent vendors he recommended. This kept the price reasonable, and we were blown away by how terrific all of the vendors were, including Officiant Rick, the photographer, the catering company (A Savory Affair), the floral arranger, and Chris, the DJ.
I can't think of anything that could have gone better. We give Regency Garden our unqualified endorsement to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding venue in the East Valley.

I fell in love with this place immediately when I walked in and it reminded me of the Blue Bayou in Disneyland (and guess what folks, that was what the owner Chris was going for). Not only was this place magical but it was well worth the value. With the package options, everything was included at an excellent price for the level of service received. We had gone out and priced everything al la carte but it turned out that we still could not match Regency’s prices. Everyone contact us instead of the other way around; which kept me from stressing out over every little detail. Everyone helped our wedding day be as unique as us.
When it came time for the big day, that was when the magic happened. Everything came together flawlessly and when there was drama or a crisis, it was away from the bride & groom’s (us) eyes and ears. It was not until the next day that we had heard of what had taken place that we owed everything to the wedding coordinator, Evelyn, for making our wedding go so smoothly that we never noticed. Seriously, Evelyn had seamlessly taken control over a drama-filled moment and turned it around to make it even better than expected. Even the DJ, Chris Birkett, was so entertaining that every one of our guests had remarked stating that our wedding was the best they had ever been too. The Elvis costume Chris Birkett came out in for a moment was so perfect for the Elvis fans in our family. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family because this place makes sure you will never forget your wedding day because they make it magical.

We are so glad that we picked Regency Garden to celebrate our big day. From the moment we stepped in to view the place, we knew we had found the right venue. Then after talking to them, they made us feel so comfortable about the planning process and the services they provide. They have teamed up with some of the best vendors around town and practically everything is taken care of for you. Our wedding day went so smoothly and perfectly thanks to all of their help and everyone commented about how great the wedding was. I credit this almost entirely to Regency Garden and their amazing staff and vendors.

A magical place that took our breathe away. From day one Chris and his team were so helpful and always available if we had a question, and more than willing to offer ideas to make our day special. I was sure that something would go wrong, boy was I wrong! As soon as we got there everything was set up and ready to go. Regency Gardens is an amazing place, not one single detail was left out. From the music when our guest first walked in to the lights and flowers. The process from start to finish was hassle free and was definetly more than what I would have ever expected.

My wedding day turned out to be really perfect because of Regency Garden. We booked an all inclusive deal & they did a great job! I love the atmosphere - it is very intimate. Elegant without being "stuffy". Really loved the experience with them. I thought my wedding day would be chaotic but it wasn't at all - I showed up & everything was done just the way I had imagined.

Thanks so much to Chris & Evelyn for an outstanding job well done. I would recommend Regency Gardens for anyone planning their ceremony and/or reception.
By all means, go with the all inclusive packages. As the mom who did not live in the Phoenix area, it made me and my daughter's life a blessing planning her wedding. Every details was laid out and gone thru by Chris and Evelyn was quick and to the point during the entire ceremony.
I thought our Still Life photographer was insane when he suggested some of the locations and poses, but OMG the pictures turned out fantastic and everyone looked amazing. I love him!
The flowers were gorgeous and only needed minor tweaking before the ceremony.
Our DJ, Chris, from Birkettt Entertainment, was the absolute best ever. He kept the dance floor full and was the funniest ever. The guests are still talking about him.
The only work I had to do was pick up the packed boxes of ceremony/reception items that Evelyn had ready at the end of the evening.
Thanks to all involved in making my daughter & new son's wedding a beautiful occassion.

I could not have asked for a better day. I can honestly say that everything went off without a hitch! It was perfect. I'm so glad I went with Regency Garden. Chris and Evelyn are where it's at!! Everything from start to finish was so professional and went so smooth. We went with most of their preferred vendors which I would highly recommend. It was such an easy planning process and didn't feel stressed one bit. You can't find their quality for their price anywhere in the Valley. We were so impressed with everything. All of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was!!
The rehearsal felt very rushed but I trusted they would make everything perfect on the wedding day and I was right. Everyone was where they were supposed to be. :) They even checked on us a few times during the reception to make sure we were doing alright which was nice.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for one of the best days of my life!! It was magical!

There simply is very little to add to the accolades that others have given Regency Garden and to the owner Chris (as well as his accomplished staff). Our experience was absolutely ideal for us. We did not have the time, money, or, frankly, the interest in coordinating a wedding on our own. Our first concern was that perhaps this venue would be too pricey for our budget based upon the beautiful website and photos of the place, but we were delighted to discover that the pricing was affordable, offering one-stop shopping for efficiency fanatics like us. Not only was the venue affordable, Chris acted as a one-man wedding coordinator, facilitating every detail, which was priceless to us. There is simply not enough praise to lavish on Chris and his staff for the absolutely perfect day we had getting married at Regency Garden.

Regency made it happen. Made our wedding day stress free and beautiful beyond words. I was so excited that we got our date booked with Regency. I was thrilled. We did the all inclusive package where the invitations, photographer, DJ, flowers, Caterer, cake were all included. I was student teaching at the time while planning the wedding... and everyone thought I was crazy, but then they realized just how relaxed I was and it was because of the grace of God and the great team at Regency. It was so wonderful that all the vendors contacted me, instead of me wasting time trying to find the best place to work with. We had an off site ceremony and they were so helpful with that as well, they dropped the flowers off and the photographer was on time and checked out the land before she started snapping pictures. Not to mention the pictures turned out great, thanks to Still Life Studios. Once we got to the reception, all that we had dropped off to be set up a few days before WAS. It was all out and beautiful and ready for the party to start. I was thrilled with everything. Regency looked fabulous and Evelyn and her team took such great care of us. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I could just go on and on. It truly was the only place that I would have picked for my reception. It was perfect and the day was far better than I could have imagined. Thank you Regency Gardens.

Regency Garden is my happiest place on earth! When we first started looking for venues, my mom told me that I would know when I found the right one. The minute I walked into Regency I knew what she meant. I LOVED the intimate garden feel that flows from the outdoor ceremony site into the reception area. The venue speaks for itself when it comes to beauty but it is the owner Chris and the gals who work with him, Evelyn above all, who really make it shine.
I highly recommend using their packages with the vendors provided. I don't think you can find higher quality vendors who genuinely enjoy what they do more. It also takes SO much stress off the bride because you have all the aspects you need, give Chris a check which he disperses to the vendors, and go to your appointments to pick what you want. No more googling and spreadsheets to keep track of everyone you need to book and pay, it's taken care of for you. The best part is that these vendors are truly like one big family. They have worked together countless times and know how the others work. When Chris tells you that his staff and vendors can run the show without him there, it's absolutely true because this happened with our wedding on April 30th. While we wished Chris was there because we have genuinely gotten to know and like him, nothing involving the wedding was subpar in his absence.
Lastly, and importantly, Regency Garden is EXTREMELY budget conscious. I was shocked how reasonable they were after suffering price shock while looking at other venues around the valley.
I can't even begin to thank Chris and Evelyn enough for orchestrating and working so hard to make our day special and "ours". Thank you!!!!

I don't like to write reviews, but Regency Garden most definitely deserves a few minutes of my time because they were that AWESOME! Chris was so helpful from the beginning and assured me that everything in their all-inclusive package would exceed my expectations, and boy did it! Everything (food, DJ, photographer, flowers, cake, invitations, etc.) was perfect! They made getting married so easy and fun! I don't have a single negative thing to say about Regency Garden and their staff. My wedding could not have been more amazing! Thank You!

We had our wedding and reception at Regency Garden in April. Everything went perfectly. It was beautiful. Everyone had a blast at the reception. And we avoided a ton of stress by booking our entire package through them. We mainly worked with Chris, one of the owners, but everyone there makes you feel like the truly care about you and your wedding. I've never met anyone more excited about weddings and that was great to have.
They've been in busy for over ten years and the use all the same vendors every time, so they have built very strong relationships with each one. It's to the point where they are all friends. We had no worries that any vendor would fail to show up or mess up in some other way. On top of that, we could not have found better vendors if had tried ourselves.
The gardens outside for the wedding are gorgeous, well maintained and have surrounded sound hidden throughout the garden. Guests all the way in the back can hear the ceremony just as well as those up front. Inside feels like a garden too! The walls are red brick and there are trees, twinkling lights and ivy inside that really add to the feel.
Overall, everything went better than we could possibly have imagined. The place was amazing! The vendors were some of the best in AZ I'd wager. And Regency Garden was cheaper than most other places we checked out! Talk about value. If you want a stress-free wedding that all your guests will rave about, go with Regency Garden.

Regency Garden is the best place to get married, my husband and I got married there on 4/2/11. I was so beautiful and it was so nice that they do all the setting up and taking down for you. I didn't have to worry about if thing were going to get done because they did everything. Chris was so awesome and very helpful, he made sure I knew what to expect and the vendors they use are great. I would recommend Regency Garden to anyone that is planning a wedding and wants to be stress free and enjoy the planning and most of all relax on the most important day your wedding. I remember walking in and started tearing up because it was amazing and Chris walked up to me to make sure I was ok, I told him yes it was just so beautiful and perfect. Thanks again to Regency Garden and the staff.

My husband and I had a March wedding at Regency that included the ceremony and reception. We had looked at four other venues in our price range and Regency just seemed to click for both of us. The other places were either too gaudy, cheap, or gave us a slight feeling of not being put-together or professional either in the venue or the people we met with, or had all these little extra fees you may not think of initially. We loved the look of Regency, the location, and how the packages offered were all inclusive.
I was really so happy with my experience with Regency itself! We had a few last minute changes to the number of guests (which also changed the seating chart) and Chris always responded so promptly to our questions and calls. It was such a nice feeling to not be stressed by all the little details of a wedding, especially since this was the first one for both of the bride and groom's immediate families. I know my dad has really high expectations for many things and was wanting everything to be perfect and I was so impressed by how Regency handled things (my dad is not easy to please!).
As for the day of the wedding, it really could not have gone better. It shows by how smoothly everything went that Regency really knows what it is doing. Everything went according to schedule even with us having two very large families to photograph. We received so many compliments during and after the wedding about how beautiful it was; some of the guests even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I kept hearing people tell us it was like a fairytale and very elegant, and I really have to agree.
I'm always a bit doubtful when reading reviews where it's a perfect score, but we were just so impressed by the quality and beauty of our wedding.
