Our Wedding

How it all began...

Alex and Kayla met one fateful night when they were both out with their friends in North Scottsdale. They exchanged numbers and the next day, Alex asked Kayla on their first date where they immediately bonded over their mutual love for watching and playing sports, music, and traveling. They made plans to see each other again the next day, which led to more plans the next day, and so on and so forth.

Their dating days were filled with too many arenas, venues, trips, and courses to count and it soon became clear to both of them that they would be sharing adventures for the rest of their lives.

...and then the real fun began!

Ava quickly assimilated into their sports and jet setting lifestyle, helping them create lifelong family memories in 8 states &amp; countless stadiums before her first birthday!

Q + A

This is where Alex and Kayla will be staying! It is walking distance to the venue, welcome party and right on the beach. The link should provide a discount, but feel free to check other booking sites to find the best available rate at time of booking! There are no official wedding events planned for Thursday, so please feel free to arrive whenever works best for you. That being said, the hotel does have an amazing swim up bar and the beach speaks for itself so we don't think anyone will regret having extra time to enjoy the area🤍.
