Wigwam Weddings
The Wigwam resort has an extensive history dating all the way back to the 1900s. It was first established as a tiny lodge with the goal of serving the area which was primarily used for cotton ranching at the time. In fact, this original lodge is still present on the property today, known as the Organizational House. In 1929, it officially became a resort. The area saw gradual yet consistent expansion efforts in the time since, today being host to over 100,000 square feet of event spaces, making it perfect for Wigwam weddings. The Wigwam resort also features nine tennis courts, three swimming pools, and three championship-caliber golf courses along with award-winning restaurants. In just over 100 years, it has transformed from a quaint lodge to a luxurious resort.
Brief History of the Wigwam Resort
As you enter the gates of the Wigwam resort, you cannot help but be taken in by the beautiful, lush greenery. The juxtaposition of lush lawns and swaying palm trees against the desert landscape in the background is one of the many reasons why couples find this to be an idyllic setting. Of course, another major feature of the Wigwam resort are the extensive villas and casitas in hacienda style architecture. The crisp white exteriors further help enhance the natural appeal of the surrounding landscape. Taken together, the resort itself features heavily with adobe and timber, making it a beautiful representation of its rich history in the West Valley. As a comprehensive resort, you can even plan your entire wedding around the venue from a spa day to a golf outing and many other exciting activities for bridesmaids, groomsmen, and guests alike. Of course, there are no shortage of romantic spots for photographs, something we truly adore about Wigwam weddings.

Wigwam Lawn & Patio
The Wigwam resort’s most celebrated outdoor event space, the Wigwam Lawn & Patio feature 6,500 square feet of lush landscaping. This provides an excellent location for an outdoor ceremony or reception. It is bordered by a beautiful fountain to the west that makes an excellent backdrop while flowering plants such as roses can be found surrounding the perimeter. Many couples love this space for its openness and photogenic appearance. Fit 250 to 500 guests for this area. Need more area? The citrus-lined Front Lawn can host up to 1,000 guests.
Trellis Garden
Our favorite aspect of the Wigwam resort is the Trellis Garden, which is a magical space for your Wigwam wedding, particularly if you prefer evening festivities. Here, you can fit up to 300 guests who will enjoy the fragrant smells of citrus in this space that feels quite intimate despite the size. Twinkling lights and hedges create a great ambiance that can help augment the feeling of romance in the air.
Litchfield Patio
If you want to create a more casual environment for socializing during your reception but still appreciate some touches of elegance, the Litchfield Patio makes for a great choice. This area has a beautiful backdrop and can host up to 125 people. With stone and wood décor and plenty of chairs for seating, it provides a contrast to the more open spaces referenced above. This is one of several smaller patios and terraces offered by Wigwam resorts, but by far our favorite of the smaller settings.
