Starlight Memorial Park

Stepping back in time

We planned a DIY wedding and ran into a few hiccups with outside vendors, but Carly and her team at Starlight Memorial Park stepped in without hesitation to find solutions and save the day. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by their friendly staff and responsive communication. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking—walking through felt like stepping back in time at this one-of-a-kind venue. We loved the book wall and Solarium, plus the bridal suite had everything we needed with the Gold Room's natural light for hair and makeup and the lounge for photos and snacks before the ceremony. Carly and her team added thoughtful touches throughout that made our day feel special. We're so grateful they went the extra mile to make sure our wedding day turned out exactly as we hoped.

Glorious Hidden Gem!

Realizing that we could have our wedding at Starlight Memorial Park was a total game changer. Mark and Carly went above and beyond, more than I can describe, to make sure our experience was as smooth and carefree as possible. The venue is stunning, unique and spacious but also feels incredibly intimate. Would get married here over and over again! 1000/10!

A beautiful venue with thoughtful, caring stewards

My tour of Starlight was phenomenal! The atmosphere was relaxed but attentive. The staff made me feel super welcome and gave me some amazing ideas on how to use the unique space on our special day.

Married surrounded by Starlight!

From the moment we started planning, the team at Starlight made us feel welcomed and at ease with their laid-back approach. They truly understand that a venue is more than just a space, it's a beautiful historical gem that sets the tone for your entire day. The bridal suite was decorated beautifully and stocked with everything we needed, and their practical tips about timing and taking care of ourselves made such a difference in how smoothly everything ran. Our wedding day turned out to be so special, and our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how stunning the park is. We're already planning to return because there's so much more to explore there, and honestly, it's become my favorite place in Tempe. We'd recommend Starlight to any couple looking for a venue that feels both professional and genuinely caring.

Starlight Memorial Park is one of those businesses that makes Tempe a truly great place. The owner Carly (Tempe’s Business Woman 2026) saved a very old piece of Tempe’s history from becoming one of those mixed use development building. When you step into the park, you’ll notice two things, an instant calm washes over you and it’s about 15 degrees cooler because of all the trees. The property contains multitudes; a very cool esoteric shop, refillery, end of life services, wedding and event area, and overall wonderful third space. Come here, spend your money and support what makes Tempe awesome.
