    We had our wedding at Agua Linda Farm this past September. From the beginning Laurel and Stewart were a pleasure to work and very responsive with emails. The farm is so GORGEOUS - but you already know that from the pictures - and was everything we wanted for our outdoor wedding. Laurel and Stewart are very helpful with any questions you may have and they provide a variety of rental options (the hacienda uplighting is a must - incredible). They allow you to pick all vendors and provide a list of those they recommend. The only vendor you can’t pick is the DJ, as Stewart provides that service. He did a phenomenal job DJing for our wedding! We gave him a few songs as ideas for our general cocktail/dinner playlist, and he ran with it - we received numerous compliments on the music from guests with much more sophisticated taste than us. After dinner, the dance floor was always bumpin’. Also, the bartending service they provided was well done and professional. This is more of a DIY venue but that’s what I loved about it, the fee includes so much and is very reasonable!

    I can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else. This beautiful farm nestled in Amado, Arizona is SO beautiful. I felt like I got married in the most beautiful place in the world. The staff was great, Stewart made an excellent DJ and all my guests were blown away by the views and beauty. We even got to watch the full hunters moon rise over the mountain and it was nothing less than magical. Thank you Laurel and Stewart for helping our wedding be the most amazing day of our lives.

    They were awesome! Because of the shifting weather we were late in reserving a tent. I called the vendor ALF works with and had difficulty securing a tent because of the timing. That vendor then contacted ALF and ALF found another vendor we could use. ALF then contacted me letting me know they had contacted and arranged everything and I just needed to confirm the reservation. They went above and beyond!

    I fell in love with this place when it was covered in dirt and I was on a pumpkin patch field trip with my daughter's school. When I found out that they were doing weddings there now I went immediately to their website and I was blow away with how beautiful it was! I wanted to be barefoot in the grass at my wedding and I knew that would be tough in the desert, but Agua Linda Farm is such a beautiful venue! Then getting the opportunity to work with Laurel and Stewart was so fun! They are so laid back and easy to work with. They really worked with us to make sure that it was just how we wanted. The place was perfect! It gave us that beautiful and elegant feeling with a relaxed at home vibe! The music was perfect! Everyone was telling us how beautiful it was and how much they loved the venue! We were absolutely pleased above and beyond with working with them! Loved every moment of it! Would highly recommend anyone to work with them!!!

    Our experience at Agua Linda for our wedding could not have been better. We found the farm online while we were living out of the country, and had our parents do our initial site visit for us. Right from the first e-mail correspondence, Laurel and Stewart were extremely responsive and helpful. At every step of our planning process, they helped us figure out exactly what we would need, worked with us to incorporate unique elements of the property into the event, and really helped us create a setting that was characteristic of us, the region, and the farm. They were extremely generous in letting us use extra things that they had on sight, from an old table to old pane-glass doors that we used to hold our seating cards, all of which really added a lot to the aesthetic of the event. Laurel and Stewart were also fantastic the day of. Their staff was polite, helpful, and extremely competent, and everything they provided was there and ready without any delays or glitches. It was truly a family affair: Stewart provided great music, Laurel arranged our gorgeous flowers, Gerry and Jasmine took fantastic photos, Alex served drinks, and the Loew kids served as parking attendants. An affordable, family atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

    The property at Agua Linda is stunning. We had numerous comments from guests throughout the event and even in days after, all of whom gushed about the beauty of the setting, the gardens, and the general atmosphere at Agua Linda. It's a special space that's suited to a formal event but still feels natural and open at the same time. There really isn't anywhere else like it.

    It was clear to us that Laurel and Stewart were invested in helping to make the space ready for the event we wanted to have. They were kind, considerate, and constantly responsive. We couldn't recommend them or their farm more highly.

    Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. You also did a fabulous job in putting together a fantastic celebration for your family and friends. Thanks, Laurel Loew

    I am the mother of the bride and want to express my gratitude to Laurel and Stewart and their entire staff for helping make my daughter's wedding a beautiful and memorable event unlike any other wedding I've ever attended. The natural venue was perfect for our particular bride and groom. The space was perfect for having the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour while the bridal party's photos were taken, buffet dinner, and dancing. Laurel and Stewart took care of everything they said they would, were professional in every detail without being stuffy or controlling, provided information we needed when we needed it. The cost of having the wedding at Agua Linda Farm was less than we were quoted at other venues that we didn't like as well. The price was right, and it was worth every penny. The location is near the Wyndham Canoe, a perfect hotel for wedding guests. I highly recommend Agua Linda Farm to all the brides-to-be and their mothers! (and their fathers won't mind the cost!)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! We enjoyed meeting your family and hope you come back and visit us soon! - Laurel and Stewart

    This venue is perfect for laid-back couples who want a beautiful simple wedding. The farm is filled with gorgeous scenery and the owners are extremely nice and helpful. You will have to deal with everything that an outside wedding might entail including dirt and bugs that is why you need to be laid-back and not high strung when it comes to your wedding. I would describe this venue as hippie, folk, vintage and country style.

    When my husband and I started looking at venues, we looked at quite a few. As soon as we arrived at Agua Linda Farm, we knew it would be perfect for us! It is absolutely stunning and provides a lot of natural decor with wildflowers, huge trees, and beautiful spaces. We were kind of worried about getting married in the middle of June in Arizona, but the trees provided the perfect amount of shade which helped keep our guests and wedding party from getting overheated. The price is very reasonable and you get a lot for what you pay for. One of the great things about Agua Linda Farm is that you get to choose your own caterer. We ended up going with one of Laurel's preferred caterers and the food was absolutely amazing.
    Thank you Laurel and Stewart for helping to make our dream wedding a reality!

    I could not have imagined a more beautiful place to have my wedding. Everything was perfect and Laurel was wonderful and accommodating. We completely forgot to have plates and forks for the cake and Laurel found us some and truly saved us in a pinch - I am forever grateful for that. This is an example of how wonderfully helpful Laurel and Stewart are.

    There was only one thing - a comment about Mexicans never being on time was made to both sides of the bridal party by one of the staff. While I have a pretty good sense of humor about things like that, a few other people were offended. I would just be careful with these types of comments. I am very happy with my overall experience, though.

    Agua Linda Farms is a beautiful wedding venue! We were very lucky to get a date when the majority of the flowers were in bloom. This is more of a DIY wedding venue, and while they will point you in the right direction, you have to ask specific questions. I would definitely recommend hiring a wedding day coordinator on the day of the wedding to make sure everything is as you expect it be. The venue will charge for any additional service or anything they can, and while I understand its a business, sometimes not everything needs to be nickel and dimed. The owners really do know how to throw events at their venue, it's the planning process that can become frustrating with them.

    Agua Linda Farm's reply:

    Many venues require clients to have a same day coordinator - perhaps we should, too, however, this can cost an additional $1000+ - for just a same-day hire. This is, of course an option and is one of the reasons I state on our website that we are not coordinators and send a list of helpful hints that includes the suggestion of hiring one - it sure can make it easier - but I choose not to force it as we pride ourselves in being flexible and many brides use family to put the finishing touches together to save money. However, I must say, I am certain that Agua Linda staff is MUCH more helpful than other venues that provide location only - I can't think of one wedding where I didn't personally jump in and help with tasks that were not included in the contract and never charged extra. Often these things happen out of site of clients, so you may have been unaware. In fact, most clients are especially thankful that we are so forthright when it comes to costs, what our venue fee does and does not include and the price of any up-grades. Having spent much time in this business, I can say that there are very few (if any) websites that so clearly post ALL their prices and every potential client sees these costs before signing a contract - there are no hidden gratuity fees, wine corking charges or any of the real "nickel and diming" that occurs with just about every vendor in the event business - this, in fact, is something that I am proud of.
    I am happy that you otherwise enjoyed our lovely location - it is a wonderful business to be in, but also tricky as all of our clients are new to the "wedding business" themselves :) and have little to compare the experience to.. I can assure you, however, that you would have found MANY hidden fees with just about any other venue and that we offer a tremendous value for a quality product and a stunning venue with more flexibility than most venues offer. I hope you remember your day here with nothing but positive feelings! -Laurel Loew

    Communication was poor on the part of the venue hosts. They were given a play list that was not followed. There was all kinds of random songs thrown in that were not on the play list. We were under the impression that we could take our time cleaning up after wedding, but were called in the middle of the night to finish cleaning up. All venue host had to do was tell us that they had an appointment in the morning to show the venue, before we started setting up, and we would have made arrangements to clean up in a more timely manner. Their dog ran off with one of the large pieces of meat from the buffet...a $100 piece of meat! It was my understanding that the dogs were to be inside the house before and during the reception, but that was not the case. Venue host was drinking during reception...very unprofessional. None of the extra tables for appetizers and cake display that we requested were set up and ready to go when we arrived to set up. The catering staff found it very hard to set up for the event due to the lack of facilities offered for their needs. The gift table was set up where no one knew where it was...just about every guest asked where to put gifts. There is no usable area for prepping food or staging food at this venue. The bridal suite was hotter than hell and made putting on make up & doing hair very difficult. The pool & hot tub were not covered which poses a hazard to young children that are not being watched closely by their parents/other guests. The grounds are nice, but with all the other issues....I was not impressed!
    It rained heavily during reception...of course not the venues fault, but we all knew it was going to rain! No one took the time to set up a tent for the food until the torrential downpour started. It would have been nice if we didn't have to do damage control during the reception. We had to call upon every able bodied individual (guests) to help move the buffet tables as it started to pour.
