Resources & FAQ
What should wear to the ceremony and reception?
We request that you wear formal attire. Think long dresses, suits, and a touch of winter elegance. It’s a winter wedding in Phoenix, so expect cool evening breezes—bring a wrap or jacket to stay cozy under the desert stars, but don’t worry—the reception is indoors.
What’s the best way to get from PHX Airport to Scottsdale?
Uber, Lyft, and airport shuttles are readily available. Taxis and rental cars can be picked up at the PHX Sky Train Rental Car Center. A rental car is recommended if you plan to explore Phoenix or Scottsdale beyond the wedding events. However, most major hotels are within rideshare distance of the venue.
Is the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Yes, both the ceremony and reception will be at Dolce Events, 9343 E Shea Blvd B-135, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors but the reception is indooors.

When should I book my stay?

Which airport should I fly into?
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is the closest and most convenient airport, about 20–25 minutes from most Scottsdale resorts and venues. Visit skyharbor.com for flight, parking, and transportation info.
What will the weather be like?
Expect sunny, mild desert weather! In mid-January, daytime temperatures in Scottsdale typically range from 65°F to 70°F (18°C–21°C), with cooler evenings around 45°F (7°C). Rain is rare, and humidity is low, so it’s comfortable for outdoor events. Bring sunscreen for the daytime and a light jacket or wrap for the evening desert chill.
