It’s your big day, so why not have it go down in history as the perfect first day of the rest of your life? Imagine your wedding in the beautiful Hotel St. Michael’s Crystal Ballroom where the Old West melds with graceful Victorian architecture. Tall arched windows, high ornate-metal ceilings and glossy, hardwood floors provide a one-of-a-kind setting for traditional elegant or modern-themed wedding ceremonies and receptions.
The spirit of the Old West still thrives here in the historic Hotel St. Michael located at the center of downtown Prescott. Originally named the Hotel Burke, the building was built in late 1891 by Dennis Burke and Michael Hickey, who sought to bring some elegance to the Wild West. By 1895 the owners had added another story to the building, boasting that it was “fireproof.” In 1900, a fire leveled the entire block of Whiskey Row, including the Hotel Burke. The hotel was rebuilt as it is today and then renamed St. Michael by his partner after Michael Hickey died in 1909.
The Hotel St. Michael now stands proud, as it has for over 100 years, on the corner of famed Whiskey Row and Gurley Street. It is right across from the iconic Prescott Courthouse Plaza, with its beautiful green lawns and tall, shady elm trees, making it a truly unique and romantic setting for wedding ceremonies and photos.
The Crystal Ballroom accommodates up to 225 guests for theater-style seating or 150 for a formal dinner. Ask about our affordable and customizable packages. So, whether you call Prescott home or think of it as a dream destination, please consider the Hotel St. Michael as the perfect place to celebrate your special day!
Every couple wants their wedding to be timeless. In this age, with real hospitably rapidly fading, it remains alive and well at Hotel St. Michael. Our dream is that every wedding becomes as special and wonderful as the love being shared.

In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.![]()

“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”![]()

Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. ![]()
