This was hands down one of the best experiences I could have asked for and if you have the chance to work with Karen, DO IT. Being someone who is always busy with work, I was able to tell her what I wanted, give her a budget, and then have her run with it while having full trust that she was coming up with something amazing. She did all this while still making me feel like I had control of the event by sending me a options and letting me pick my favorite. With this, the event fell nothing short of amazing. Everyone had an amazing time and it really brought the team closer together. Courtney Harper

I married in December 2021 and used this business to plan all our reception details. We chose a helicopter hangar to host our reception and we worked with Karen of SPEV to plan the entire event. It was an amazing experience to have a wedding reception in a helicopter hangar and Karen is as professional as it gets! She demonstrated she clearly knows how to plan and throw an amazing party and doesn’t miss any of even the smallest of details. We got to work with her to brainstorm what kind of food and drink and decor we wanted and she took our ideas and created an amazing event for us. Very easy to work with and speak to and fun to brainstorm with. She suggested so many ideas we hadn’t ever thought of which we ended up going with and made our event unforgettable. Definitely recommend working with Karen! Nick Hool

I could not be more happy with this venue! My best friend hosted her wedding reception here, so naturally I was fully prepared to roll up my sleeves and dive into whatever was necessary to make her day perfect. But I never had the opportunity, because Karen and her team were always one step ahead of the game! Polished, professional, and genuinely thoughtful, they created the most beautiful scenic backdrop amidst an even more unforgettable customer experience. Really, it’s rare for a business to check all of the boxes these days. Thank you! Lorin G

How do you plan a wedding in five months during a pandemic? You call Karen and hire SPEV! She had one date open and we took it and are so happy we did. From the very beginning Karen guided us through the process of transforming a hanger into a really cool reception venue. Through zoom meetings with many from out of state, Karen took care of all the venue details and left us to deal with the wedding details. It was a huge relief. Her team (Denise and Emily) were great to work with. DJ Tarvis was a blast! Do something out of the box and have your event at one of Karen’s unusual locations…you won’t be sorry. Hool Law

Karen was so amazing to work with and the Heli Hangar was a truly unique and perfect venue for a party. Karen always went the extra mile to source the perfect furniture and decor to compliment the look and feel of our brands. She found a stellar cigar roller for me and even ice sculptures to match my vision for the event activation. I’ve been working on events for many years and this event thanks to Karen was the absolute best. She really thinks of it all and is a true partner in making a vision and event come to life. Diageo

Karen and her team thought of EVERYTHING for my wedding reception. They turned an airplane hangar into an elegant party. It was over the top and more stunning than I even expected. I would highly recommend Karen and her team for any event. Especially if you are looking for that wow factor. Danielle McElroy

Prior to my sister’s passing she asked that we throw a party in her name. She wanted her friends and family to all get together to celebrate not mourn. Karen May, Cindy’s lifelong friend said, “I got this!” and she did! Because of Karen and Scottsdale Private Events we were able to celebrate Cindy’s life in a way we could not have imagined. Karen, Thank you for your hard work and resourcefulness. The night was amazing. We are forever grateful. The Cooper and Lawrence Family

We held an event for our physicians at the hangar. The open door with the planes parked nearby; landing and taking off, added to the unique ambiance for our event. Karen was extremely helpful with the planning and offered lots of fabulous ideas. Listen to her advice! She really knows what she’s talking about. She was there throughout the event and I knew I could call on her if we needed anything. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Arizona Priority Care

In the year of a pandemic, putting together a holiday party seemed impossible. Well that’s not the case if you are working with Karen and her amazing SPEV vendors! They helped put together an amazing event where we could practice social distancing while still enjoying time together in an open/outdoor and spacious venue. Our creative ideas were brought to life in a matter of weeks. The food, its presentation, and serving staff were exquisite. The venue layout, décor, and ambiance were magnificent.
