So you take your awesome engagement
and pre-wedding photos at Mesa Arts Center - why not have your wedding or
reception at Mesa Arts Center, too? You have probably seen your friends in
family photos, senior photos or wedding photos in spectacular settings with the
distinctive backdrop of Mesa Arts Center. I’m going to let you in on a secret:
It is more affordable to have your wedding, reception or business event here
with all the prestige of the theaters and the Mesa Contemporary Arts museum,
than at any similar reception center in the East Valley.
My favorite reception space is
the outdoor, lower-level courtyard of the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, which
happens to be a fraction of the rental rate of comparable reception sites in
the East Valley. The courtyard is gorgeous lit up at night, with a full-wall
waterfall and museum backdrop. Your reception will be unique and classy, and
you will have the cachet of listing Mesa Arts Center Museum Courtyard as your
setting. This courtyard holds up to 200 guests at a time for a standing
come-and-go style reception, 80 guests for a seated dinner reception, or 100
guests for a wedding with an aisle. You can use any licensed, insured caterer,
which gives you a lot of flexibility.
There are also terraces available
for weddings or receptions. The Joanie Flatt Terrace is on the west side and overlooks
the Shadow Walk with shade cover sails, palm trees and other greenery. The view
of the Mesa Arts Center campus is breathtaking after dark, and also very cool
during the day. This terrace holds 115 guests for a seated dinner, or 175
guests for a standing reception.

Another option is the terrace rooftop
of the nearby Arizona Museum of Natural History, which is booked through Event
Services at Mesa Arts Center. This terrace looks fabulous with our beautiful
Arizona sunsets, and holds 120 guests for a ceremony and seated dinner with
dance floor, up to 150 guests for a seated event with no dance floor, or 175 guests
for a standing reception.
