ASU Kerr is an enchanting, timeless adobe and wood former home and performance space, located one mile north of Old Town Scottsdale. Built by legendary composer, ethnomusicologist and violist Louise Lincoln Kerr in 1959 as a space for friends to gather and play music, the rustic facility is a distinguished performing arts venue and private event site.
If you are looking for a distinct, one-of-a-kind wedding, reception or event location, ASU Kerr is a beautiful, historic and affordable setting for up to 220 guests. Versatile, rustic and welcoming, the space is an incredible, charming place for you to craft a memorable celebration for yourself and the people that mean the most to you. Both indoor and outdoor garden events are a hit at the venue.
Get creative and bring your own vendors! We offer in-house bar service packages for festive functions and provide chairs and a variety of table types. Technical labor is included for private rentals and free public events. As a music and arts venue, we offer a professional edge to your gathering with our sound, lighting, video and audio services and talented staff. The rustic adobe buildings are a memorable and unique alternative to sterile event spaces, and the fascinating origins of the property are always an added bonus for attendees.
Enjoy utilizing our two kitchens, large private parking lot, the freedom to bring in the caterer and vendors you desire and more.
