Agritopia Farms Wedding in Gilbert, Arizona

Agritopia Farms is an urban farm and planned community in Gilbert, AZ, and is a beautiful location for your intimate wedding or elopement. When people think of the Phoenix area, and the adjoining towns of the valley, the last thing they imagine are lush green fields of clovers nestled under orchard blooms and freshly ripened peaches. Located in the heart of Gilbert, Agritiopia Farms brings the country charm of a rural farm into the urban setting. If your dream wedding include a bit of country charm together with sustainably farmed food and ambiance, look no further than this whimsical garden!

Garden weddings like this one offer a certain timelessness and nostalgic nod to a simpler time. C & D kept with this theme, choosing a softer palette of white tulips, pink roses, and lace, with a touch of funky and unexpected florals thrown in to give it that special touch as only Elise from Wildflower Design Co. can pull off (one of my favorite florists in Arizona and Utah!).

Tips to make it a great experience:

  • Cater food from the farm! The restaurants on site offer sustainable, healthy, and most importantly- tasty menus!
  • The ground in the orchard or other farm settings is not flat and stable. Wearing suitable shoes is
  • Farms and gardens come with varied flowers and flowering plants. Flowering plants= bumble bees. Being aware and making sure guests with possible fear or allergies are aware to bring any medications in case of a sting is important.
  • And above all- have fun with it! Embrace nature and all the beauty that comes with a farm wedding!
