We had our wedding here and I have to say that from start to finish everything that they did to make things flow as best as possible. The people they recommended to use all were very professional and made our wedding spectacular. The venue itself is so beautiful on the outside for the ceremony, while the inside had everything needed to have a fantastic reception. The cooking staff did an amazing job with the food and everyone serving were always on top of things. Just an amazing experience to share with so many people.

John and Kacie were phenomenal! We met each of them on separate occasions, and both provided such thorough information and were patient and kind with all of the questions we had. Kacie worked with our budget and made sure we understood every aspect of the contract and planning. We can’t wait to have our wedding there! The venue was gorgeous and there are so many packages and add ons. We really appreciate everything and everyone

While this venue was one of the most beautiful venues I had seen, I definitely had my ups and downs while dealing with La Mariposa for my wedding. The staff are very friendly and very kind, but I had multiple experiences in which someone forgot they made an appointment with me and couldn't see me, or would take weeks to get back to me about a simple question.
The coordination for the day of my wedding was beautiful, and my event honestly went perfectly! However, after my event had ended I was informed that I was due a refund for my bar tab, it has since been two months since my wedding with La

I had my engagement party at La Mariposa in March 2021 and there aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful of an experience it was. The place is gorgeous. Both Steve and Francisca are wonderful. They were easy to meet and communicate with and we are forever thankful. 5 stars and highly recommended!

I attended a wedding at La Mariposa and it was amazing. When my father in law passed we wanted to do something very special for his Celebration of Life. We had his Jewish Ceremony outside in they beautiful outdoor gazebo and followed with a reception indoors. The gorgeous green landscape outdoors was the perfect setting for the ceremony. The reception indoors was the perfect setting for family and friends to share their memories of our dear Paul Bracker. The food, service and attention to every detail was perfection. We continue to get compliments on a job well done- what my father in law so we’ll

I am finally getting around to writing a review for our wedding. This is the best place to get married in Tucson if you want a beautiful, peaceful, private, affordable venue with fantastic people and delicious food. I've seen and worked at most of the venues in town but La Mariposa is the most naturally beautiful all around. They exceeded expectations and I would highly recommend for any event.
