Exclusive Celebrations
The Paseo is designed to provide complete exclusivity. When couples reserve the venue, the property is entirely theirs ensuring that their celebration remains private and uninterrupted. Guests are welcomed through iron entry gates into a serene desert oasis, with dedicated parking and clear pathways that lead to the ceremony and reception spaces. This attention to detail creates a seamless experience from the first arrival to the last dance.
Spaces That Inspire
The ceremony lawn is a lush, green expanse framed by the desert and a raised stage with panoramic views of the Superstition Mountains, offering a breathtaking setting for vows and photos. Guests can move seamlessly through pathways to a sunset cocktail area where the warm desert glow sets the scene for conversation and celebration.
The 4,000-square-foot pavilion accommodates indoor and outdoor flow for dinner and dancing, featuring high ceilings, open walls, and market lighting that highlights the surrounding natural beauty. The venue comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests, making it ideal for medium-to-large weddings, while smaller gatherings and elopements are equally well supported. Additionally, on-site suites for the couple and bridal party ensure that everyone has a private, comfortable space to prepare, further enhancing the day’s ease and enjoyment.

The Paseo offers a variety of options to accommodate celebrations of all sizes and styles. The Saguaro Package provides a full-service experience that includes venue rental, catering, floral design, bar service, entertainment, and cake, making it an ideal choice for couples who want an all-inclusive approach.
For those seeking more flexibility, site rentals are available in either a nine-hour full-day block that includes the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, or a seven-hour block focused on cocktail hour and reception only.

For intimate elopements, the Elopement Rental offers exclusive use of the ceremony site, suites, and surrounding desert for photos. This package includes setup and teardown, a ceremony arch, and music.
