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!!

When You Know, You Just Know

My husband and I first came across the Stillwell House on Wedding Wire, and were curious about it. The Stillwell house was the first venue I visited in Arizona. I never cried when looking for or even finding my dress- I cried when I first came to the Stillwell House.

The Stillwell House is a historic site, rich with Tucson history. The family that owns the El Charro restaurant in downtown owns the Stillwell House, and is their exclusive caterer. In other words: The best southwestern food in Tucson.

Stillwell includes just about everything:
-Ceremony, dinner, and reception can be held on site.
-Linens, tables, chairs, charger plates, glassware, water and Pepsi products can be served on site.

Other Stillwell Pros:

-Excellent Staff: Everyone from Candace, Wilma, Kelly, our servers, the kitchen and custodians truly make Stillwell a venue that is beautiful and runs efficiently. They are truly masters in the business.

-Versatile Spaces: The three locations at the Stillwell House can be "flipped" for dinner and reception. Stillwell itself is more spacious that it appears: It can accommodate over 200 guests, and a variety of entertainment options. My husband and I had a DJ (Fernando Gonzalez: Raza Entertainment), Harpist (Christine Vivona), Beer Donkeys (AZ Beer Burro Co.), and Caricature Artists (Dianne and Murawski from About Faces Entertainment).

-Lighting and Decor: Stillwell's lighting, and vintage/vintage inspired decor creates a perfect romantic ambiance that isn't overdone.

-Preferred Vendor List: Stillwell is quite known in Tucson, and has an extensive preferred vendor list that can accommodate a large range client tastes.

The Cons:

-You will have the absolute, hardest time picking out which food you want for your dinner because everything is DELICIOUS.

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.

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.
