Wedding Ceremony was great!

La Mariposa did great for my wedding ceremony and I wanna thank Amanda for helping us out organize our special day. The food was amazing and the desserts were on point. Jorge did a great job on decorating inside with the colors we want and it was just perfect. Last minute, we decided on using John the DJ and let me tell you, he knows music and knows how to get the dancefloor going. If I had another event, I'd use him again! Thanks to all of them for making my day so special!

I couldn’t recommend a better venue

La Mariposa was the most absolutely stunning and professional place to hold our wedding. Amanda and Johnny were extremely professional amongst the entire process, answered all of our questions, and worked hard to ensure that we had the most amazing day. We were so lucky to have our wedding here and had so many compliments from our guests. Thank you to everyone involved in helping our dreams come true!

Absolutely beautiful venue

Our wedding at La Mariposa was a dream come true! The venue is absolutely stunning. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue's beauty, and we're incredibly grateful for the unforgettable memories made there. John and Amanda were also wonderful to work with and made the day of stress-free for me (the bride!), which is a huge deal.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
