    The night of our dreams

    We had our wedding at The McCormick Scottsdale and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only was is the most beautiful venue with the ceremony by the water, the romantic lighting, and the gorgeous mountain surrounding, but the food was absolutely AMAZING and my guests would not stop ranting and raving about the excellent service from the bar to the waiters to the front desk! They worked with our budget (which was really tight) and me it happen. The day went as smooth as it possibly could have and our wedding will go down in history at one of the best in our big Italian family. We stayed in one of their suites and it made for an end to a perfect night. Debra was an angel and there is no way we could have ever accomplished this without her. We will DEFINATELY be hosting with them again in the future. There aren't good enough words to explain how amazing our experience was with them. 10/10 recommend!!

    I can not express how grateful I am to have found McCormick Scottsdale and Debby Gatz. When we were searching for venues, I thought I found the right place (it was different venue) and was just going to keep our appointment with Debby out of courtesy. And then we met Debby... and saw the place... and I fell in love. The lakeside view, the floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the bar, the lounge - everything looked perfect - and we booked the place! The beauty of the venue does not compare to how accommodating and how flexible Debby was with all the changes and requests during all the wedding preparation! She is definitely heaven-sent to all brides and wedding planners. Very quick to respond to emails and very flexible with all the guest count changes - she never made us feel bad about asking for anything! The food was overflowing and very delicious - the servers were all very nice and were there even before you knew you needed them! All the guests enjoyed the food, the ambiance, the location! We are so glad to have Debby as part of our wedding - would never have it any other way.

    The McCormick Scottsdale was the perfect venue for our wedding!! It was stunning!! The best part was, our wedding day couldn't have run any smoother! Debby had it all under control, we had no worries at all, simply just to enjoy our day. It was absolutely perfect! Debby is experienced, highly skilled, and so easy to work with. We held our rehearsal dinner and reception at The McCormick and so many of our guests commented about how delicious the food was!

    The Best Customer Service For Your Wedding!

    I was the planner for a wedding at The McCormick February 15th and I can not say enough about the entire experience. Den Gatz is a top-notch, no nonsense professional and will never steer you wrong. She is hospitality as its finest. Her captain Monica and bartender Steve made wedding day a breeze. They were responsive, courteous, smart and a delight to work with! My clients are beaming at how their wedding turned out and can't say enough about how wonderful it was. Events By Sloane will be back with future couples and I cant wait to work with them again!

    This was the most stunning and beautiful wedding we could've ever imagined! Our guests were wowed and Debbie is the best! We didn't need a wedding planner with her on our side. She set up a day before morning rehearsal for us and our party to practice the aisle walk..,it was so easy and she made me feel so calm throughout the process. The lake view and private intimate nature blew me away and really suited ,y husband and I...birds flew up in a formation right after our vows...it was a magic moment. The fireworks and ceiling treatment really took it up a notch! The ballroom doesn't look like much in the daytime but with the curling draped and dj's uplighting, it is jaw dropping, and the perfect size! We even had a photo booth inside and about 150 guests. It was also hands down the best wedding food we ever had..,the food was even better than the tasting, the appetizers were great at cicktail hour and the bar pricing was really fair. Debbie worked with us throughout to make us have the best night ever!!! ❤️

    what an amazing venue! My wedding day was perfect thanks to the great people at Millennium! They bent over backwards to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted! The food and drinks were perfect, and were extremely kind to our guests! The scenic lake-view was absolutely stunning backdrop to our ceremony! The ballroom was perfect and romantic! If you want to get a bang for your buck, choose them! Debra the wedding coordinator was also amazing!

    I had my wedding at The McCormick Scottsdale on March 20, 2015. I always knew I wanted to get married at The McCormick as it has beautiful views of the mountains with water and palm trees surrounding the resort. Debra Gatz, the event coordinator did a fantastic job in making sure everything was exactly how I wanted it to be. I can't thank her enough for all of her time, energy, and expertise she put into our event. Melanie Volkers, director of sales and marketing went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great day preparing leading up to the ceremony. Julian, the head of the wait staff did an excellent job the entire night. Several of our guests made comments regarding Julian and his staff and how perfect the service was. The McCormick Scottsdale exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful. Additionally, almost all of our wedding guests flew in for our wedding from all over the country. We had so many guests raving about the beautiful property and service. Our guests loved the pool/lake, dining experiences, newly renovated rooms, shuttle service, accommodating staff, and welcoming feel of the resort. Thank you McCormick Scottsdale for the BEST day of our lives and also for giving our guests a wonderful experience. Kristin & David

    Krista, the wedding planner (who used to be at Sassi) and Jennifer, the catering manager were awesome! My parents felt that every moment EVERYTHING was looked after the evening of the reception....from perfected serving style of the delicious halibut and filet mignon to the beautiful swags of lights and detailed table decorations Krista coordinated. I worked with Krista for 1 year of planning the event and she looked after every detail! She has great working relationships with all of the venders and guided me through all of the little details that I was so worried about. The room on the water looked like the oasis we had planned and we received so many lovely comments from family and friends about how beautiful and smooth everything went. Thanks Krista and Jennifer! You truly did make it awesome celebration to remember that evening!

    This is the most beautiful place in Scottadale to get married. The lake setting was perfect for the ceremony and receptions. Jennifer, the banquet captain was stellar. If it was just her and her staff runnin the show it would have been flawless!! The whole night was perfect. I would reccomend anyone to get married here. The only downfall is the new wedding coordinator. She was, at times, difficult to work with and unprofessional.

    I cannot imagine having my wedding anywhere else. The fact that so much is included in the package prices (open bar, WONDERFUL food, cake from "Let Them Eat Cake" (also fabulous), BEAUTIFUL ceremony location and rooms to get ready in and stay the night of was absolutely the best value in town for the quality of what we got. With the open bar, I was so glad to be at a resort where everybody could stay the night and I knew they were safe. The staff worked so hard to make my vision a reality and the perfect vision I had in my head they made EVEN BETTER on the day of. They took care of everything and coordinated everything perfectly. We just got our pictures back and the setting is just the most beautiful place you could ask for. I HIGHLY recommend the Millennium. Don't be scared off by the original price quote - remember what is included and I guarantee you you will spend more putting all of these things together yourself somewhere else. My guests are still raving about the food and the cake! I am so glad I chose the Millennium!

    I LOVED having my wedding at the Millennium! Their wedding venue is awesome...it is separate from the main part of the resort so it feels private, the view of the lake is beautiful, and the best part is that the floor-to-ceiling doors open up so that you can technically be inside but feel like you are outside at the same time. We actually had our dance floor outside, and dancing under the stars on my wedding night was such an incredible experience for me and my husband, as well as our guests. Millennium's food was delicious, their price was very reasonable, and the atmosphere was just perfect.

    Neither my husband or I are originally from Arizona, so the majority of our guests had to travel to attend our wedding, and they all stayed at the Millennium Resort. They had nothing but good things to say about staying at the hotel, and we all had a great time hanging out at the pool and the Pinon Grille with our family and friends throughout our wedding week. The Millennium also helped us organize a pre-wedding golf tournament at McCormick Ranch, Manicures & Massages by the pool for the ladies, and a welcome reception for all of our guests with drinks and appetizers.

    The one negative aspect we experienced at the Millennium was the difficulty we had in working with their wedding coordinator. Although she was very nice and appeared to be organized, she frequently did not return my e-mails or phone calls and she did not follow-through on some details. We had to get the hotel manager involved several times, and although he was very helpful and went out of his way to correct any issues that came up…issues still kept coming up. So although everything that went wrong was corrected and our wedding day ended up being perfect, the planning process was frequently very frustrating.

    I do believe that the wedding coordinator and hotel manager that we had for our wedding have since been replaced. Hopefully this means that the problems we experienced are no longer occurring, because the Millennium truly is an amazing wedding venue and helped me to have the wedding of my dreams!

    Absolutely breath-taking setting by the lake. Really impressed our out of town guests. Fantastic food. Great service and bar staff. And we loved having the open air dance floor under the stars. Also great value for your money, and flexible pricing so make sure you ask for exactly the right package for you.

    This is a beautiful venue. A great place to have your special event. The lake and dock gives a beautiful peaceful environment. I had such a wonderful time here on my wedding day. I would recommend this to place to anyone.

    The resort facility was beautiful, and the catering staff was very nice and made wonderful food, However my wedding coordinatior was so mean and angry to everyone on the day of the wedding that I have had comments from almost all my guests about her glaring them down, or yelling at them! I would highly recommend the facility if there is a different cooridnator.
