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.

The perfect wedding with a perfect venue…read more As soon as we walked in for our first tour we knew this had to be our wedding venue. All pricing was mentioned up front and very transparent. 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.

It could've been chaos, but Bre, our coordinator at Modern Moments, handled everything like an absolute champion. She was out there soaked, running around in the pouring rain, doing everything she could to take care of the wedding party and keep the day on track. She went above and beyond in every possible way. Her dedication, calmness, and genuine care made all the difference. We felt taken care of from start to finish. If you're looking for a place in Gilbert, AZ for your wedding or event, there is no better place than Modern Moments. Hands down, the best team you could ever ask for -- and Bre is a rock star.

Aside from loving the venue, Shelley was so warm and welcoming from day one. She answered all of our questions with a smile, was patient with me while I was trying to decide on a date, and was super responsive over email (I never had to spiral for too long, if you've planned a wedding or about to be you'll understand what I mean by this lol, Shelley was always there with an answer). Fast forward to the final walk through & the rehearsal. The venue was so clean & everything was ready for my wedding. Shelley ran through all my vendors I had coming & had their contact info for the big day. I felt like I could let go & things would be handled - and they were. My wedding day was everything I could've ever dreamed of and MORE. My vision came to life thanks to some very lovely ladies & Shelley's crew at gather. Everything went so smoothly, the venue looked beautiful, and I mean it when I say I truly wouldn't have changed a single thing.

Jamie, Norma & the entire team are so nice & welcoming. I appreciate all their hard work to make our wedding perfect. This venue is very clean and well taken care. Every time I visited the venue for a planing session, the staff was always cleaning & touching up the venue, it's obvious that this team takes pride in their work. There is not one negative thing I can say. It's a large venue with large clean bathrooms. My wedding had 300 guest and there was never a line for the bathrooms. Jamie was so helpful with connecting me with any vendors I needed & Norma took care of decorating the venue just how we had dreamed of. This venue is always investing in their craft, we got the chance to use their new tables, chairs & centerpieces. It was so modern but still elegant. I highly recommend any of your events to be hosted by this venue. Thanks you Eduardo's.

When I first walked up to the hall I was not impressed at all. It is located in a shopping center…read morenext to a Dollar Tree but my opinion of the place changed once I walked in. The space is very large, modern, and nice. The packages offered are great and more affordable than others we researched. The servers and bartender were Amazing. The DJ was excellent at getting the party started but the music could have been better. I was a bit disappointed with the music that was being played but everyone had a great time. The staff cleaned before and after the event. It really is a one stop shop. The reason I am giving this 4 and not 5 stars is because In the contract I had to give a refundable deposit. Once the even was over I was never contacted to be refunded my deposit. I have tried a few time to come and pick up my deposit and every time I come it's closed. It seems like the staff is in the salon located in Phoenix and not the Mesa location more often. I would recommend you set a calendar reminder after your party to collect your deposit. Also call the establishment before coming because more often than not it will be close. Call before you drive over to make sure someone is there. Gas is too expensive to just be driving around. Other than that, I do recommend 100%. If I have another major event I will definitely try and book here again.

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.
