I got married in June 2024. I had a short engagement window (we got engaged in November and didn't…read moreset the date until the end of December, giving us only 6 months to plan). Even before we set the date, I started doing research and Villa Tuscana was at the top of my list (also in Mesa). We did a tour there in December within a day or so of nailing down the date with our Church. However, when I got to Villa Tuscana, I was disheartened. I didn't realize that the hall is set up for two parties and I was nervous to think that another event would be happening at the same time as our wedding in such a small vicinity. And then there were no windows at all. I am SOOO grateful for the representative who met with us. She encouraged me so check out Garden Tuscana and I had briefly come across it but didn't want my guests driving 40-45 minutes from the church to the reception hall. Begrudgingly, I looked up Garden Tuscana when I got home. After reading about them, I called them and got in the same day for a visit. I practically knew immediately that we had to get married here and I'm so grateful that they had availability on our date! The best thing is that you have the entire venue to yourself, it's a gorgeous space AND the preferred vendor package option is not something you can beat. I had looked at so many venues and they were incredibly expensive and/or restrictive. Some forced you to go with their food, drink providers, etc and were asking minimum $130 per person. At Garden Tuscana, you can choose to go with your own vendor and pay out of pocket, or go with one of their vendors which is a much more affordable rate. For example, a bakery I like would have cost over $1000 for a cake. But at Garden Tuscana, we went with Sugarlips Cakery and got a 4 tier cake for only about $350! We also went with the vendors for DJ (which is a must so that you can get the upgraded lighting), and food. We went with the Mexican catering option and had more than enough leftover. They also host a "vendor night" 1-2 times a year where you and all other clients can come and see all of their vendors, get information, pricing, and get a full dinner provided by the 3 catering companies they partner with (Mexican,Contemporary American, Italian). Needless to say, as soon as we saw the venue, we were itching to put the payment down. As for alcohol, you buy all of your own to stock the bar. We went to Total Wine and More and worked with them to get kegs, wine, and liquor, mixers, etc. We did pay for an additional bartender which is a good call. Only constructive piece of feedback here is that we worked with Total Wine to make sure we had ingredients for 150 of each cocktail. Well by the time I got to the bar (after about 90 mins), one of the cocktails was already out becuase they "ran out" of sweet and sour mix. In reality, I think they were using too much of it because they had enough of all other ingredients for the same drink. Only other pieces of constructive pieces of feedback: We did have a ton of leftovers. The DJ never announced that guests could go up and get seconds. I'm not sure if that's a DJ thing (which is normally something they announce) or the venue, but given the two of them work together so often, they should coordinate getting that message out so that everyone can get seconds, thirds, etc. Also, many in the wait staff do not speak English. When the cake got put out, they cut it very nicely but I noticed the sheet cake flavor of confetti cake was missing. I (the bride) went over there to ask them to cut it and it took awhile for them to understand what I was asking. Eventually they figured it out and told me no, that they couldn't cut the sheet cake until the other cake was gone. I wanted to allow my guests to sample all 4 flavors so I was disappointed they'd tell the Bride no for something so simple. And of course, we ended up with a TON of leftover confetti cake, which is disappointing because it's a family favorite. Word of advice-- I see a lot of people on here upset about the fine print of the contract. It's there for a reason so make sure you read it! What I appreciate about Garden Tuscana is that the contact isn't written in legalese. It's very easy to understand and I read that darn thing at least 10 times through and asked SOOOO many questions of Alma and Maylin. They were amazing to work with. Very kind and patient. And Maylin said that she started working there after she had her quinceanera there, so that speaks so how great of an experience she had. Also, I had a but of a mishap on the dance floor and my toenail was bleeding and in desperate need of a heavy duty bandage. Maylin had it all and even went to the dance floor herself to wipe up the blood. That's dedication! I could go on and on. But all you really need to know if you're considering GT is that it's the most affordable option and you still have an excellent experience and gorgeous venue. Feel free to message me with any questions!

The staff is unengaged and condescending (they make comments that they assume you don't/won't understand...we did). We had to chase them down in the kitchen multiple times to refill water pitchers for the guests and the chafing dishes in the buffet line. We had so much food left over (completely untouched) it could feed 50 people. Had they put the food out as needed the guests would have eaten more. Needless to say we will not be back and will not recommend them to anyone. We have multiple upcoming events to plan and we will be looking elsewhere to host them.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. We ended up loving our coordinator, Katie. She was incredibly sweet, organized, and helpful during the final stages of planning and on the day of the wedding. The only challenge we experienced was that she was our third or fourth coordinator throughout the planning process. The staff changes made it a little difficult to keep track of previous conversations and details, which added some stress along the way. In the end, everything came together beautifully, but the turnover was a bit tough to navigate. The food catered by the venue was fantastic. We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was, and the catering staff did an amazing job. Where we struggled a little was with pricing expectations. Based on our initial conversations and the overall cost of the venue, we assumed more items were included than what ended up being covered. As we got closer to the wedding, there were several additional fees that surprised us and made budgeting harder than expected. For example, we chose not to do signature drinks because there was a $300 fee just to offer them, even though we were providing the alcohol ourselves. It was small things like that which we hadn't anticipated being extra. Even with those frustrations, we truly had a wonderful experience overall. Our wedding day was beyond magical, and the venue and catering staff worked incredibly hard to make everything run smoothly. We are very grateful for their efforts and for the beautiful memories we were able to create there. Overall, we would absolutely recommend having your wedding here.

They have packages to choose from but we ultimately decided to book the venue itself and details regarding the bar and then personally book the vendors they have on their booking list. Halfway through planning we got overwhelmed and decided to add the florist, DJ, and photographer on our package and it did cost less than booking outside of the package! We had 100 guests and we got compliments from almost everyone on the venue itself, caterer, flowers, and DJ. For how expensive weddings can be I can confidently say booking with Villa Siena makes it so easy and so worth it! An additional thank you to our coordinator Jessica she was so helpful and kind & neither my husband or I or even our wedding party had to worry about a thing. Everything was so seamless and perfect.

I was not able to decorate until the day of the event. 2. She was running late for me to be able to get into the venue. To do decorating. 3. The day of the event, she wanted an extra $500 for a deposit. Which was not disclosed in any of our conversations or contract. 4. She didn't have the number of tables I requested, she then told me I would have to pay more money. I showed her our agreement and she said that it was wrong. But eventually put up more chairs and tables for no additional fee. 5. The venue bathrooms, floors, and bar areas were not clean when the event started. 5. After the party she complained about how dirty the place was,when we actually cleaned up more than we should have since we had to pay $100 for cleaning. 6. Both the men's and women's bathroom stalls were breaking. Then, the mens bathroom had rusted screws that broke off at the party. The womens toilet paper holder kept falling off. We had to force the stall door open and closed. There were no paper towels to dry hands, only the air dryer. She kept $100 for clean up and then decided to keep another $100 for the broken rusted door. 7. While I was decorating, she had customers viewing the venue. 8. My cousin had a party earlier in the year and had issues with the men's bathroom. She "swears to God" that it wasn't that way. That should have been a red flag for me. I assumed everything would be good. If you decide to use this place, make sure you document EVERYTHING! She will find a way to get more money from you. Take before and after pictures. Record your conversations because she says something different each time. Don't assume you understand what she is requesting. Be very detailed. I chose this place because it was close to my dad. The party was for him. He is very sick and not able to commute far. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.
