Getting here.
You have two good airport options. Compare fares and flight times into PHX and Mesa Gateway before you book.

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport

Airport details Rideshare is easiest.
Rideshare is available from both airports, and ADERO Scottsdale Resort does not provide an airport shuttle. A rental car is unnecessary this weekend because every official wedding event is on property.
Dress for the desert
Wear the fun thing.
Color, pattern and personality belong here. Comfort belongs here too.
Desert casual
There are no official plans. If you find us around the resort, come as you are and stay awhile.
Colorful resort casual
Polished, comfortable and playful. Sundresses, jumpsuits, linen, button-downs, polos, chinos, clean denim and stylish sneakers or sandals all work. Please skip graphic tees, athletic wear and ripped jeans.
Pool party
Swimsuits strongly encouraged. Add a cover-up, sunglasses, sandals and whatever makes you ready for sunshine, music and a few hours by the pool.
Desert cocktail
Cocktail to formal, with room for personality. Bright color, pattern, texture and sparkle are welcome. The celebration is on grass, so choose block heels, wedges, boots or dressy flats over stilettos.
Warm days. Cooler nights.
April in
the desert.
Expect sunshine and warm afternoons, with typical April highs around 86°F and lows around 52°F. The air cools quickly after sunset, especially at the resort's elevation, so pack a light layer for Friday and Saturday night.
The actual forecast matters more. Check again the week you travel.86°Typical high

You asked
We answered.
01Is the whole weekend adults-only?
Yes. While we love your little ones, this is a grown-ups-only weekend. We know that requires extra planning, and we truly appreciate it. Consider this your invitation to step away from parent duty, reconnect, unwind and celebrate with us.
02Where should we stay?
At ADERO Scottsdale Resort with us. Every official event will happen on property, which means less driving and more time together. Our deeply discounted room block runs from Wednesday, April 14 through Tuesday, April 20, 2027. Book by February 17, 2027 to receive the group rate.
03Is Sunshine Session optional?
It is an official part of our wedding weekend, and we are planning it for the whole guest list. We cannot imagine spending the happiest day of our lives tucked away from the people we love most. Plan to meet us poolside Saturday morning.
04Will the wedding be outdoors?
Much of it will be. Sunshine Session is poolside, and the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception are on the resort lawns. After Dark moves inside to CIELO Bar. Bring a light layer for later in the evening.
05When should we arrive for the ceremony?
Please be seated on Four Peaks Lawn by 4:45 PM. The ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM.
06Can we extend the trip?
Absolutely. Our deeply discounted wedding block is available for three nights before and three nights after the wedding, from April 14 through April 20. The Bride and Groom arrive Thursday, April 15, and early arrivals may find us around the resort.
