Set against the high Sonoran Desert in North Peoria, Blackstone Country Club at Vistancia offers a wedding experience rooted in architectural character and panoramic mountain views. Warm stone, arched entryways, and a 30,000-square-foot Hacienda-style clubhouse create a backdrop that feels timeless yet distinctly Arizonan. The property’s thoughtful layout allows each part of the celebration to unfold naturally, with ceremony, cocktails, and reception flowing seamlessly from one setting to the next.
The Setting
Blackstone’s strength lies in its versatility. With four ceremony locations and multiple reception environments, couples can tailor their celebration to match both guest count and aesthetic vision. Expansive desert vistas and curated architectural details ensure that whether the event is intimate or grand, the surroundings remain a defining feature.
Ceremony Locations
Blackstone offers four distinct ceremony settings, each framed by the surrounding Sonoran landscape and Hacienda architecture.
Hacienda

Set against the backdrop of the 30,000-square-foot Hacienda-style clubhouse, this ceremony location highlights dramatic architecture and expansive desert views. The setting feels grand yet grounded in the warmth of the surrounding landscape, making it ideal for couples seeking a statement backdrop.
Arbor

The Arbor features a romantic structure entwined with white roses, creating a soft focal point for vows. With the White Tank Mountains to the south and the clubhouse to the north, it balances garden intimacy with expansive scenery.
Rose Lawn

Designed for more intimate gatherings, the Rose Lawn provides manicured greenery framed by panoramic views of the Bradshaw and White Tank mountain ranges. It is especially striking at sunset when desert light enhances the natural backdrop.

Ceremony offerings include a dedicated wedding professional for rehearsal and day-of coordination, access to the selected ceremony site for a one-hour rehearsal the day prior, and use of bride and groom suites for three hours before the ceremony. White garden chairs (up to 125 guests), patio umbrellas, and complete chair set-up and take-down are also provided.
Reception Venues
Following the ceremony, guests transition effortlessly into one of Blackstone’s reception settings, each designed to accommodate both elegant dinners and lively celebrations.
Courtyard
Capacity: Up to 200 guests
Surrounded by fireplaces, water features, and the warm stone exterior of the Hacienda, the Courtyard is one of the venue’s signature reception spaces. Ironwood trees wrapped in twinkle lights and strands of café lighting create a welcoming atmosphere that feels both elevated and relaxed.
Event Lawn
Capacity: Up to 300 guests
The 12,500-square-foot Event Lawn offers an expansive open-air setting for dinner and dancing beneath the desert sky. Ideal for larger guest counts, it provides dramatic views and ample space for customized layouts.
Dining Room (Available June–August)

The Culinary Program
The in-house culinary team at Blackstone delivers a menu that feels classic and elevated, in line with a private club experience. Couples may choose plated dinners, buffets, or interactive stations, with offerings typically including premium cuts of beef, well-executed poultry and seafood selections, seasonal salads, and composed desserts. While the approach is refined, the overall feel stays welcoming and approachable for guests.
Customization is encouraged, allowing couples to tailor dishes to their tastes and guest preferences while maintaining a cohesive culinary experience that complements the setting.
