My goodness, the way I love Royal Palms 🌴
I did a little research & what I found was SO cool!! I’ve lived here in Arizona my whole life and have never heard the story behind RP! Long before it became one of Arizona’s most iconic wedding venues, Royal Palms was built as a private Spanish Colonial estate built in 1929 at the base of Camelback Mountain. The Cookes filled it with art & pieces they collected from their travels around Spain & Europe! In 1948 it was turned into Royal Palms Inn & became a luxury boutique inn where celebs would come vacation! Nearly 100 years later, these stunning gardens, timeless Spanish architecture, and romantic courtyards have become the gorgeous space for countless love stories!! 😍
So if you’re looking for a beautiful wedding venue with lots of Arizona history rooted in it, here she is!! 🤍✨ feel free to bring me along with to capture it all 😉
