The Vista Pavilion
The Vista Pavilion welcomes Jessica Miller new Director of Catering & Events
Jessica Miller
Las Sendas Food and Beverage Director Dennis Shaw is pleased to welcome Jessica Miller as Director of Catering and Events for the Vista Pavilion.
“Jessica comes to us with a background in the restaurant/hospitality industry, and the past four years as Events and Catering Manager at the Queen Creek Olive Mill,” Dennis said.
Although Jessica is starting in the heat of summer, her first thoughts already are focused on the upcoming holiday season events.
“Don’t forget, now is the time to start thinking of booking your holiday parties and family or corporate events,” Jessica said. “Believe it or not, we already are receiving Christmas and holiday bookings. New Year’s and the holiday season always have been a popular time for weddings, as well.”
The Vista Pavilion has become the area’s most popular wedding venue, with unending possibilities indoors and outdoors for lovely locations for up to 400 guests. “The Pavilion offers a variety of wedding packages,” Jessica continued. “In fact, we are offering $500 off all our wedding packages for wedding dates still remaining open in July and August.”
In addition to the popularity of the wedding venue, Jessica already is aware of another popular aspect of the Vista Pavilion.
“The best reason to have your event here is our food,” she said. “The food here is amazing—the taste, the presentation, the quality. I love food. I’m Italian,” Jessica continued. “Chef Al, previously of the Scottsdale Westin Kierland, does us proud. If you’re a foodie, you have to have your event here.”
Event menu offerings are so diverse, you can choose from the luncheon, dinner buffet and plated menus, or you can create your own.
“Holiday lights, centerpieces, trees and our spectacular Valley views from our over-sized wrap-around deck make it the perfect place to host your holiday party,” Jessica promised. “Our world is open to all your amazing ideas to celebrate with friends, family and co-workers. Choose anything, from an intimate personal touch, with a casual evening of cocktails, appetizers and culinary stations, to a full-blown affair for up to 400 guests.”
