    This Venue is awesome! It was amazing for our wedding and we truly enjoyed the experience. You will work with Mary, the events coordinator at the center, and she'll be you POC every step of the way, including your event day! Mary cares about making your day special and will offer up her knowledge and experience with weddings at the center. You'll get great prices, and she'll even work with you on the bar menu! The best thing is there are no extra fees here and it's straightforward since it's a non-profit building and organization! The space does become your playground being able to bring in vendors you want for your day. You feel like you're getting married in a castle here and the courtyard provides the best outdoor wedding vibe! Our guests loved the look and were astounded that place like this exists right in the heart of Phoenix. The center also puts on several programs and events throughout the year to visit!

    This was a gorgeous location for a wedding! The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing. It didn’t feel like I was near the busy city of Phoenix. My only complaint was the parking situation. It was difficult to find and I would recommend parking at the park nearby instead.

    Not what I thought it would be. I thought maybe it would have some Irish castle decor. It was very modern inside. The cottage only took maybe 10 minutes to look at. Really only good if you are Irish and want to do your ancestry. The whole upstairs is a library with computers and books to look up family.

    This place is an amazing gem of culture and history. You could spend all day looking at the resources and return every week finding a fun cultural event to bring the whole family. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and helpful.

    Tha dùthas seo! Sorry that’s scottish gàidhlig for “this is culture” but seriously, if you need to do any research or if you are of Irish descent and have any questions you need to find about an ancestor this is the place to start of be. Highly recommend going on a quiet weekday to look at the facsimile of the “book of Kells” or even to just be in community. Each staff member has passion and care for tradition, Geneology and more. You will NOT be disappointed, jealous that we don’t have a similar center in Idaho

    We wnt to the Harry Potter event they hosted it was so fun and immersive. The architecture and everything really felt out of place in downtown Phoenix but it was a really cool environment.

    We came here for St. Patrick's Day a few weeks ago and lots of rich history to be learned about Ireland! Highly recommend visiting this place.

    Visited it by pure chance on a road trip from LA to Austin in 2020. Owner of a copy of Book of Kelts. Met nice library guide volunteering there, formerly living in Bavaria so we could speak german which he quite enjoyed. :-) Stayed for more than two hours just to listen to his stories about the founding and development of the library by the Support of the Irish community in and around Phoenix. Impressive location. One of our most pleasant visits in the US.

    Stop by the Irish Cultural Center to get a tour of the replica of an Irish cottage. The architecture of the castle imitates Norman less in Northern Ireland and houses the library. The library is free to visit and a facsimile of the Book of Kels with explanations is on display.
