The Woman Behind the Experience
Updated: Sep 15
Creating weddings, gatherings and Southern Arizona Experiences
I’ve always been drawn to creating beautiful, memorable experiences—and to the places, people, food, traditions, and little details that make Southern Arizona so special. I am Laurel Loew - event manager and creative at Agua Linda Farm in Southern Arizona.
Taken at the neighboring Shankle Ranch - a great lodging option for destination experiences for up to 26 guests.
At Agua Linda Farm, I get to bring all of that together. As the owner and creative force behind the venue, I’m involved in far more than weddings. I help couples envision their day, shape the experience, pull together the details, and create an atmosphere that feels personal to them. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a full-scale wedding, a family celebration, a dinner under the trees, or something completely unexpected, I love finding ways to make a place come alive.

My creative work doesn’t stop at the farm. Through SoAZLiving, I share the places, experiences, people, food, landscapes, and hidden gems that make Southern Arizona such an incredible place to live, visit, and celebrate. It has become a creative outlet and a way for me to connect people with the very best of this corner of Arizona.
That local knowledge is something I bring to every event I create. I know the back roads, the beautiful views, the local vendors, the restaurants, the little towns, and the character of Southern Arizona. I know where to find the right flowers, the perfect setting for a dinner, a memorable activity for guests, or a tucked-away spot that makes an event feel like a true getaway.
At the heart of everything I do is the same idea: I don’t just create events—I create experiences.

At the heart of everything I do is the same idea: I don’t just create events—I create experiences.
Sometimes that experience happens at Agua Linda Farm, where our historic hacienda, gardens, pasture, mountain views, and private acreage provide the setting. Sometimes I’m creating something somewhere else. Either way, my goal is to make people feel something—to give them a day they’ll remember long after the last glass is cleared and the lights go out.
Agua Linda Farm is offered for booking private events. Some couples choose our inclusive wedding packages with me providing day-of event management and styling like these pictured above.
While Agua Linda Farm is my home base, my creativity doesn’t stop at the farm gates. I love creating experiences throughout Southern Arizona—from intimate elopements at charming local properties and unexpected destination spots to celebrations that take guests somewhere completely different. And many of the experiences I create have nothing to do with weddings at all. At Agua Linda, that might mean a weekend of camping with friends and family, a farm-inspired dinner under the trees, a themed gathering, or a celebration designed around the character of the property. I’m always looking for ways to turn a place, a season, or an idea into something people can experience together—and that is where the real fun begins.
Other events that I have planned: Glamping weekends, family and friend parties/reunions, baby showers, Southern Arizona wine country day trips, bridal showers, horseback riding adventures, birthday parties, 50"s pajama party and magazine shoot, Corporate Christmas party, murder mystery party and movie nights on the farm.
If you’re planning a wedding, celebration, gathering, or destination experience in Southern Arizona, I’d love to help you create something that feels distinctly yours.

Ready to start planning - I can't wait to hear from you!
