Literally Perfect Venue

Candace's team is fantastic, we worked mostly with Kelly and Maria, both of whom were so communicative and kind. The food was AMAZING, everyone said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and I fully agree (we had the braised short ribs, you should definitely try it). The bartenders were great! The venue is absolutely beautiful, we didn't end up bringing any florals or extra decor besides table settings because the courtyard looks so lovely. We honestly felt so lucky to find such a gem of a wedding venue in the middle of downtown Tucson. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous venue!

What a gorgeous venue!! I had the pleasure of playing violin at a wedding here and just loved it here! It is such a gorgeous outdoor/indoor wedding with so many options. It’s super cozy and has such a woodsy feel which is perfect for the classy, rustic wedding. Can’t wait to come back for the next one!!

Full-Service Wedding Venue in Historic Downtown Tucson

As parents of the bride, we can’t thank Candace, Wilma, and the entire Stillwell House staff enough for providing a fairytale wedding for their hometown girl. Clients should not be tempted to decorate the venue; everything is already perfectly and elegantly dressed, from the exterior courtyard to the Bride’s and Groom’s Dressing Rooms. The Stillwell House Team has anticipated every detail including a gift and card hutch and even an exquisite wedding cake knife. The menu is extensive and includes locally-sourced and regional flavors from a trusted family with deep culinary roots in Tucson. Dinner for 135 people, served hot and simultaneously, is no easy feat. Kudos to the wait staff and professional bartender as well.

Smooth As Possible

This team truly made our wedding day go seamlessly. If there were any issues, we had no idea. They made sure we had drinks and had a taste of our appetizers. They coordinated and decorated and were fantastic. Every guest said the place looked beautiful and the best wedding they attended.

Perfect Night

The Stillwell House gave me the wedding of my dreams and took it to the next level! Maria from the stillwell house made sure that my look of my wedding was absolutely beautiful and asked me about the smallest details that I would have never thought of until it was too late 😂 I knew she had it all covered and I could relax and get ready to get married! Jennifer was a day of coordinator and let me know everything I needed to properly manage our time for the wedding. The quality of the food was incredible, the venue was gorgeous, staff amazing and all of our guests had the best time. They took many precautions to ensure that we were covid safe and let us know in advance what restrictions needed to be met to be in compliance and ensure our guests safety. I really appreciated this! Overall, not a single complaint, only the best compliments!!!

Amazing atmosphere!

This is such a hidden gem in Tucson with all the great personal touches you could dream of! All the team at The Stillwell House is so easy to work with and made the planning process a dream (especially when planning from out of state). We got so many compliments on the atmosphere, food, and friendly services. This was the best "bang-for-your-buck" venue without ANY compromise in quality! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to family, friends, and would use again in the future for an event!

Amazing Venue!

I can not say enough good things about the Stillwell House and their staff, Wilma especially. She made our day come true, and every one of our guests absolutely loved the site. They provide catering and the food was exceptional. I suggest the chicken nopalitos, it was an extremely beautiful plate and tasted delicious.

Wonderful Venue!

The best venue! This was our first pick and we are so happy we went with Stillwell! We were married 4/26 and our guests STILL can’t stop talking about how beautiful and intimate this venue was. The layout is perfect and the garden is stunning with the lights at night. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in Downtown Tucson! It was a huge hit and we didn’t regret it one bit !

So happy I chose Stillwell!

Booking Stillwell House and Garden as our reception venue was the best decision I made for our wedding. The team here is amazing, patient and kind. I booked very far in advance and they helped walk me through the process of what to expect and were very helpful. I really wanted an outdoor wedding venue because we had so many visiting guests that are from the Midwest and dining outside at stillwell was amazing and beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests. The menu options here are the best that I saw in comparison to other venues, a great value and the food was DELICIOUS! The team setup all of my decor better than I imagined and were incredibly helpful and organized with returning all my decor and pulling it all together for me to take home after the wedding. This is a wonderful venue, everything here is beautiful and there are multiple spaces in case weather doesn’t go your way, you can also bring your own alcohol to supply at the wedding which was a great value. We couldn’t be happier booking here, it’s an awesome location in the heart of Downtown tucson and our guests enjoyed everything.

Beautiful space with lots of potential

We've been looking for a venue for a while and at first had no luck. We heard from a friend about Stillwell House and decided to visit. We fell in love from the very beginning. The space is beautiful. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and kind making our experience that much better. The space has a lot of potential and well taken care of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

My favorite venue to work with! Kelly, Candace, and Wilma do an outstanding job of making weddings run smoothly. They go to extra mile to personalize their venue with colors and decor to match each unique wedding. The venue is flexible with every request myself or my brides have had, again, truly allowing for each bride to have their own special day.
