Not worth the aftermath

Well, after waiting three months and a phone call we still have not received the photographs from the photographer that we paid for with the venue. We got an initial order and when we voiced dissatisfaction we were promised we would get the rest. The amount of stress that not getting the pictures and then being lied to about pictures has made me think of my wedding day as sour . Sheila is in partnership with this photographer and does not seem to care that we had such a horrible experience. I hate to pull the gay card but all the reviews that are five star come from straight people. Beware if you are a gay couple and go somewhere else.

Absolutely perfect!!!!

Kingan Gardens is one of the best outside garden venues in Tucson. The staff was so wonderful and made my day the best it could have ever been. Sheila is a saint and does what ever is needed to make sure your day is special.

Smith Wedding 2/11/23

This place was perfect! Beautiful for a day or night wedding. Sheila and her staff were so accommodating and so nice! I like the fact that we were able to get ready, get married and have the reception all in one place. The grounds are beautiful! The best experience and my day could not have gone any better! Thank you so much!❤️
