Business Name and Reviews

C
Cali Cochitta B&B
A gorgeous Bed and Breakfast. We held a brunch buffet-style wedding reception here with about 20 guests and every detail was absolutely impeccably attended to. Dave and Kim, the owners, were fantastic in every way. And, it's close to downtown but without any noise or tourist traffic. Just wonderful!
 
Dave and Kim work their butts off to make this our favorite B & B in town. Dave made waffles one morning that were as if we were made by a chef at the Ritz. Powdered sugar and fresh fruit to boot! And nothing compares to having a wonderful breakfast looking at the sunrise on the
Portals!
 
  CC Flower Shop
We thought they did a great job on our wedding flowers. The cost was very affordable too.
 
As of this writing this is the only flower shop in Moab. We liked our flowers well enough but think they could use some competition...pricing was pretty random and changed throughout the course of our planning, and they weren't very quick to return calls...overall tho they were very pleasant and helpful.
 
Good location, reasonable prices, nice presentation.
 
  City Market - Bakery and Floral

Not impressed with the floral dept. We never could get a live body to answer the phone. The bakery was helpful and friendly enough but they had too many restrictions as to what we could and couldn't do in terms of fresh flowers on the cake. We did like the cake they delivered for us. One other note, like too many Moab places, they have no email access so everything had to be done via phone - we ended up going elsewhere in town for our flowers.

 
We liked the bakery and thought they did a great job especially for such a small town.
 
We loved our wedding cake! We were so impressed with the bakery. We didn't use the floral department.
 
You know what is great about City Market in Moab is that they came through for our wedding where another local business failed - at the last minute. Our wedding was going to happen the next day when we finally got to see the wedding cake that another local business made for us. It was really, really shameful. It was mis-spelled, and came in a greasy egg carton. The place we were staying recommended checking out City Market for a replacement cake, and they did one for us on the fly
that was beautiful. The staff in the bakery at City Market was fantastic.

Fiesta Mexicana
We held a very informal rehearsal dinner there on the patio and it was fantastic. Great margs, service, food, and location. The price is affordable too.
 
I wish they would cater! We go there every time we visit Moab and it never disappoints. Fabulous prompt service, great food. We will be back!
 
We love it. The best Mexican food in Moab, in our opinion.
 
Every trip to Moab one of our first places we go to eat is the Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant. Our family is from Arizona....and we know what authentic Mexican Food should taste like, and for Moab, this is as close as it gets...which is pretty close. Amazingly we have never had to wait in line, even in the high-season. I don't know if they do catering, but the restaurant would be a perfect place to have a
pre-wedding party. The interior is decorated like a pueblo and the staff always treats us really well.
 
H
Holiday Inn Express
The nicest of those we have stayed in, a bit more expensive than others described here. Super clean, wonderful beds. very pretty, nice staff. Not as handy to restaurants (not within walking distance to most or to the downtown). PET FREE. North side of town. Quiet.
 
L
La Quinta Inn
Standard La Quinta--nice, clean, a few extra touches in the rooms. Very nice staff. We are always remembered when we register. Walking distance to Moab Brewery, a very good, consistent restaurant (family friendly). Pets allowed. South side of town.
 
  Lost River Trading Co.
Imports clothing from Indonesia (Bali) and has an outlet store in Moab. A few of my friends have found hippy-dippy type wedding outfits there--which is great if that is what you want, but nothing remotely traditional and very hit and miss.
 
Nice dresses, jewelry and handbags. Great Main St. location.
 
M
Manna Floral Designs
My husband and I recently got married down in Moab on October 14, 2006. We worked with Manna Floral Designs (Kelly Green) for the flowers and were exceptionally pleased with her professionalism, communication, and beautiful floral arrangements. She was very helpful
in asking the right questions to help us identify the type of flower arrangements we wanted. The wedding was beautiful and elegant because of the flowers. I would recommend Manna Floral Designs in a heartbeat for any special events.
 
  Marianne's Bakery
Marianne has lots of experience when it comes to baking cakes...her personality leaves alot to be desired though. We swung by one morning for some coffee and a light breakfast just to check out the bakery. Nice place, but she made us both twitch. It didn't help too that she didn't return any of several phone calls I made to her to ask about wedding cake. Too bad it's basically the only bakery in Moab right now. But we found someone else thanks to Joelle's knowledge...yay!
 
I thought they did a decent job, but they didn't wow me or my husband. Very affordable wedding cakes and the shop is cute.
 
  Moab Brewery
They do catering, have a casual menu including some mexican dishes, burgers, etc. Semi-private room in the back will seat around 40, maybe more. Service is always great and we enjoyed most of the menu items we sampled. Jeeper-and family-friendly, which is either good news or fair warning!
 
  Moab Valley Inn
The pool's a big hit with the kids. This hotel seems like it is always busy.
 
Our family used to stay here all the time, but in the last year or so the level of service has really gone downhill. Also, the place badly needs some renovation. Somehow they still manage to host lots of tour groups.
 
Do not recommend.
 
  Mondo Cafe
A great hangout or just stopping place for the action and adventure crowd. Lively and hip. Coffee and baked goods here are really delicious.
 
Too busy for our taste but they have a lot to offer.
 
I called there one time with a wedding-related question and after a few seconds the girl interrupted me, told me to call back, and said they had a line out the door (mind you, this was in the off-season). We showed up in person and saw her for ourselves. Although it was actually rather busy, my wife watched her pick her nose then hand over cash and god only knows what else. We would never go back.
 
N
Nifty Fashions
A old Moab store with lots of tacky clothes. I have been in there a few times over the years when I was absolutely desperate. Nifty Fashions does have the franchise for a national tux rental place.
 
I thought it was charming in an odd way...desperately needs a makeover though. Helpful staff, and they do rent tuxes if that is what your looking for.
 
P
Pasta Jay's
The food was great, I think it is the only Italian fare in Moab. I would give it a higher rating but the wait staff has never impressed me - they're never very friendly but they get the job done.
 
We tried contacting a manager to talk about catering but all we got was a call back from a frustrated assistant mgr, it was obvious the mgr didn't communicate to her who we were or what we needed. We found catering somewhere else.
 
We love their food and the location is great...always good people-watching!
 
Fantastic Food, marginal service.
 
R
Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge

Absolutely gorgeous venue. Sandy was our coordinator and she is impossible to get hold of and she seems pretty scatterbrained. In the end it worked out okay. The view was spectacular and food was pretty good too. Wine tasting was just wonderful.

 
Totally overrated. Another Moab business that relies more on appearance of the property and natural attraction than service. Why they don't answer our phone calls and emails is beyond us...so we went somewhere else. Really disappointing as the property is really attractive.
 
We had a great time there. You can also get great lodging discounts during off-season.
 
  Red Rock Bakery
We love this place. Fantastic coffee, bagels, and fresh baked breads. And they have wireless internet. Fast and cheerful service.
 
I can't say enough good things about it. The bakery expanded its space earlier in 2006 so navigating around is easier now. Wish they did wedding cakes. The bread is awesome, we always buy a loaf to go.
 
The perfect spot for a quick and healthy lunch.
 
River Canyon Lodge
Clean, nice, reasonable. Pet/biker/family friendly. Excellent location just off Main Street within walking distance to restaurants, downtown area, etc.
 
S
Sleep Inn
All the perks of a chain hotel - you know what to expect, which was fine by us. Friendly front desk staff and clean rooms.
 
We would definitely come back. We happened to stay here during the off-season and it was very reasonable. The staff were very helpful and courteous.
 
It was fine for the price (very reasonable).
 
  Sorrel River Ranch Resort
Gorgeous resort but completely condescending staff. We decided to bag it and get married elsewhere they treated us so deplorably.
 
This is the most expensive venue in Moab by far. Exquisite location and view but I have to agree with the comment above, the staff were really snooty. I would gladly give them a higher rating if they had treated us better.
 
We give them 3 'stars' because it is so beautiful there and the amenities are really very impressive. However, we were surprised at how quick they were to quote us a substantial price for our reception and then we struggled to hear back from them after that. The location and features just couldn't get any better but the level of service was disappointing.
 
  Sunflower Hill B&B
Sunflower Hill deserves its impressive 4-diamond AAA rating. Gregg is a wonderful and attentive host. The property is large - esp. for a B&B - and managed with the utmost care. Gorgeous rooms and honeymoon suite.
 
Z
Zax Pizza
Great pizza and food. Service is also outstanding.
