    The fountain behind the castle.
    Shannon A.

    Had my wedding here in 2010. We got engaged in December and thought we'd do a May wedding and looked at a few places, but as soon as we saw Ashley Manor I wanted to hold it there. It was beautiful. When I expressed my interest to the coordinator at Ashley Manor she told me that I could get a major discount if I opted to do our wedding earlier than the wedding 'season' at the end of the Spring, like we'd originally planned. The discount was considerable if we could do the wedding on certain weekday dates in February and we were game, so our late May wedding suddenly became our mid-February wedding. As you can imagine we were rushing to get things done! Thank God for the Ashley Manor coordinators, they made it 100x easier than I could have ever imagined! We opted for an all-inclusive package which (in 2010) was almost $10,000, again we got a nice discount because we chose a less popular time. The package included facility rental, food and drink for 50 people (LUX Catering: three appetizers, two entrees, one salad, one vegetable, one starch), basic bar service and a bartender, a DJ and Master of Ceremonies for 5 hours, a cake for 50 (Nancy Rae Cakes), ALL of the flowers for the whole event, a security guard, and a choice of linen colors for the tables and a coordinator to make sure the whole thing went smoothly. The good things -The place is very, very pretty, there are a couple of places here and there that could use some minor repairs and updating, but really, this place is pretty. -Our flowers were amazing! We ordered blue roses and white Easter lilies. The effect was gorgeous, and they didn't spray paint the roses, but had them water dyed the exact same color of bright blue that I wanted. I'm a florist's daughter, and I was impressed. -The cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS. We ordered a banana cake with strawberry filling and white buttercream icing, piped in a lacy-white spiderweb overlay. Not only did Nancy Rae not bat an eye when we told her we wanted a 'Corpse Bride' themed cake, she went above and beyond in delivering one! We had collectors edition Corpse Bride figurines for our cake toppers and the effect was beautiful, creepy and playful. -They had no issues with us doing a candy buffet and happily provided a candy table in the castle turret opposite the cake turret. We did an assortment of purple, black, blue and green candies and custom message fortune cookies in multi-tiered apothecary jars with blue butterflies and purple and blue dragonflies clinging to the sides, all with monogrammed, white Chinese take out boxes. It was spectacular. -Additionally, Ashley Manor's DJ was great. Our ceremony ending song was New Order's-Ceremony and he timed the music to our exit perfectly, and he was actually excited when we told him that our 'Mr. & Mrs. Introduction' song should be the energetic trumpet opening to Oingo Boingo's-Dead Man's Party. Our first dance was to Blue October's-Calling You and he nailed it. He only failed us once by using some techno re-mix of Echo & The Bunnymen's-Lips Like Sugar for the cake cutting ceremony, not the original recording. -The LUX Catering food was quite good and we enjoyed everything, and our bartender was friendly and accommodating. (We brought in our own cases of wine). The not so great things -The coordinators were all very friendly, but they weren't consistent. We worked with at least 3 different coordinators over the span of about 10 weeks and it was a bit confusing not knowing who was in charge of our file that particular day and having to reexplain the last discussion with the other coordinator to them each time we had a conversation. The one MAJOR glitch was that we believed that one of the coordinators had offered us two additional appetizers, but the next coordinator would not honor it and claimed it wasn't documented, so we had to pay out of pocket in the last couple of weeks to cover the two extra appetizers. -We hardly got any prep time before the wedding for photos because we were coming in on the heels of another wedding, because of that we only got a few photographs of the wedding party. That made me very sad. -Finally, at the end of the event almost NOBODY was still there from Ashley Manor staff for me to ask if there was anyone to help us clean up and pack our stuff. I didn't know if we were supposed to leave our stuff and get it the next day, or what. We weren't really told what to expect, and so there I was at midnight, in my gown, trying to pack up my stuff and get ready to leave. Finally someone told us we could get it in the morning if we got there by 10 AM. When we got there the next day, our stuff was packed up for us and ready to go, but sadly one of my apothecary jars from my candy buffet had been broken and the cake topper that we were supposed to freeze for our one year anniversary had been crammed into a too-small cake box and smooshed. :( Pics uploaded.

    My husband and I had our wedding in Dec. 2018 and could not be happier with the service they have provided. Everything was even better that we had planned. The staff were very accommodating and made great lengths to ensure we had a wonderful wedding. We couldn't be more happy and grateful! The venue is simply beautiful and we would recommend it to anyone who would like a magical wedding to remember.

    I had my wedding this spring at the castle and I could not have been more happy with the outcome. The coordinators made sure everything was taken care of and every detail down to the flowers and food were perfect and everyone who came had a ton of fun.

    The Ashley Castle is an AMAZING venue! Olivia, Krystie, and Lauren are wonderful coordinators who go above and beyond to make your special day run smoothly! Ruben even helped us carry in our decorations into the castle! I was completely stress free because I knew I had reliable people working for us. They address your concerns in a very timely manner and are very attentive to your needs. They pay attention to the details regarding anything from the decor, to the food, and drinks. Our guests continue to tell us how beautifully planned our wedding was. I couldn't imagine choosing a better venue. We chose the Imperial Package. The food from LUX catering (included in package) was delicious. I definitely recommend using them as your food caterer. They have good sized portions and healthy options. You can purchase the alcohol for the reception separately. The florist who works with the castle made a stunning bouquet and beautiful flower arrangements. I love the fact that the castle lets you be as creative as you want to be. I made and brought in my own manzanita tree centerpieces and garland backdrop. Thanks again for such a wonderful and memorable experience! We couldn't have asked for anything more!

Unfortunately, front desk, although very nice, was unable to immediately help us resolve the issue because the hotel was sold out that weekend. Side note, bring hair conditioner since the hotel does not provide it. An upside is the complimentary breakfast and tasty yogurt bar with fresh mixed berries, almond slivers, and other toppings.

    Our new A/C unit stopped cooling correctly (we had a power outage that caused a blown fuse - get a…read moresurge protector for your A/C unit!), so we decided to stay at a nearby hotel. Element was close, plus one of the cheaper options in July, so we took a chance and we were very pleased! We booked a one 1 bedroom, 2 room suite and loved it. The living area had a pull out couch and TV and the little kitchen island area separated the kitchen from the living room. The kitchen came equipped with everything we needed, including a full sized fridge, where we stored our beer and wine. Being a former business traveler, I can see a room like this being fantastic for a road warrior. The decorations are modern and there's a nice sized desk, if you feel the need to do work. We used the pool and our daughter loved it. It's a nice sized lap pool with a decent amount of chairs and umbrellas. We also had breakfast and it was above average and included standard fair like eggs and breakfast potatoes. The staff was exceptionally accommodating. They let us check in around 1PM, which was a blessing, as the hellish July heat was making hanging out at home unbearable. I've stayed at many business friendly hotels and this is one of the nicer ones. *Tip 1* You're right across from Chandler Fashion Center. Scheels is an awesome sports and outdoors store and you can taste wines at Cooper's Hawk restaurant. **Tip 2** The front desk staff told me the offer a weekday happy hour!

I came here for a really large work party and the best way to describe the ambiance was a nice wedding reception without a wedding. We had beautifully decorated tables with assigned seats, fun music, a bar, and photo ops. The drinks were good - in my opinion they were pretty standard event cocktails. Definitely tasty, but not craft cocktail level drinks. When it came time to eat and we all went through the buffet, I had pretty low expectations since it is a buffet to feed over 100 people. I have to say though, the food was really and truly wonderful. Best event food I've had hands down. Overall if you're looking for a fun place for your next large party this is a great option. I'd be happy to have a reason to go back!

They made breakfast accessible a little before 7 on the weekend. We were in a rush to get our son to his games at 8 so that was so appreciated. They have a gym that is open 24 hours, has good basic equipment queen room has a separate sitting area and there are 2 tvs in the room. Microwave available downstairs, I knew in advanced our room didn't have one, so I was happy to hear that. Nice lobby area, food available on site, office area if needed. The Cons: Our refrigerator was on the lowest setting but still did not really keep our items cold The hotel is on a main road, it can get pretty loud. Thankful for my good ol sound machine. Beds were a little hard. Layout of hotel is confusing. Service was for the most part friendly, the room was clean. Breakfast was basic hotel breakfast but everything was cooked well.

The front desk clerk was friendly, funny, and genuinely personable--one of those interactions that immediately makes you feel welcome. The reception area itself had a cozy, boutique feel with a small pastry display and bar setup that added a nice touch. It's a one-person desk, which actually made it feel more intimate, though I could see it getting a bit backed up during peak times. The overall design of the hotel leans modern and clean with warm wood tones and neutral colors throughout. The lobby seating area was stylish and comfortable, with plush chairs and a large statement wall art piece that gave it a polished, upscale vibe. The bar area looked sleek and well put together--perfect for grabbing a drink or just hanging out. Our room was spacious, airy, and thoughtfully laid out. The two beds were large and comfortable with crisp, clean linens, and nothing felt cramped. The wood flooring gave it a more elevated feel than your typical carpeted hotel room. There was a nice sitting area with a couch and mounted TV, plus a functional workspace that made it easy to relax or get things done. The mini fridge and coffee setup were neatly tucked into a built-in station, keeping everything organized and clutter-free. The bathroom was clean and modern with a glass-enclosed shower and bright lighting. It felt updated and well-maintained, which is always a huge plus. One of the standout features was the view--our window overlooked the pool courtyard, and it honestly felt like a little resort moment. The pool itself looked like a great size, surrounded by lounge chairs, umbrellas, and palm trees, with plenty of guests out there enjoying themselves. It gave off a relaxed, vacation-like vibe without being overcrowded. They also offer a coin-operated laundry area, which is super convenient for longer stays. Breakfast was another win--there was a good variety of warm options like eggs, potatoes, sausage, and oatmeal, along with muffins, juices, and toast. It was simple but satisfying and well-stocked. And the location? Major bonus. The hotel sits right across from a mall and is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and eateries, making it incredibly easy to find something good without having to go far. Overall, this place strikes a great balance between comfort, style, and convenience. Clean, modern, and welcoming with just enough personality to make it memorable--I'd absolutely stay here again.
