Beautiful location, outstanding service!

I’m am beyond impressed with this venue! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the staff was genuine and attentive during both ceremony and reception and the food was amazing. The wedding suite is stunning and the ambiance of a million twinkling lights against mature landscape is a sight to see. Truly a venue that captures Tucson’s artistic desert charm with elevated service the whole way through!

Beautiful Garden Wedding!

There simply isn’t a more beautiful wedding location in Tucson! There are many ceremony and reception locations within the gardens and all of them are gorgeous. Our reception cocktail hour and dinner was superb! The staff was responsive and professional and the cost was very reasonable. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out!!!

Amazing venue with helpful staff

Tohono Chul is a lovely venue with a community-oriented mission. They are an oasis of Sonoran Desert in the middle of urban Tucson, so you get a feel for the local culture and nature. The staff were extremely helpful and supportive, and really helped everything go smoothly on the wedding day. Guests were very complimentary of the food and ceremony+reception spaces!

My perfect Tucson wedding venue

The venue is perfect and has an indoor and outdoor option which we utilized. We had the ceremony in the Spanish Colonial garden and reception in the garden pavilion and cocktail hour in the area in between. It was perfect. Guests got to experience Tucson's natural beauty but still have a beautiful indoor area for dancing and to cool off from the heat. We had approximately 70 guests and this venue was perfect for that amount but I know Tohono Chul has several other venue options. I can't have imagined getting married anywhere else.

Best Night Ever, thanks to TC Staff

We could not have asked for a more perfect night, thanks entirely to the staff at Tohono Chul. Helena, Lucie, Nick, Kelly, and all the servers are an incredible group and even a month later us and our guests still talk about what a perfect wedding night we had. Chef Nick and Kelly helped us create hands down the best meal we have eaten (every single guest came up to rave about the food.. we were so, so happy. I am still dreaming of our fried avocado tacos and the pepper jack au gratin potatoes) and the night could not have gone more smoothly thanks to Helena and Lucie. Not everyone can say they had every single thing go right on their wedding day, and I am so grateful to Helena and everyone else. From the planning stages to the night of, we cannot recommend this venue enough. Wish we could do it again! Tohono Chul is a beautiful venue on its own, but we feel so lucky to have been able to work with this team; they made the night go above and beyond. Photos by Andy Shepard or my own.

Stunning venue + amazing team!

We loved everything about our experience with Tohono Chul! From the start, the team was helpful and responsive to all of our questions. The catering team is great too and food is delicious (love chef Nick and Kelly)! It was a positive and easy experience planning our wedding over the course of the year. The day-of wedding was right out of a dream! The Performance garden glistened and was perfect for our group of about 120 guests. The Spanish Colonial Garden was a dreamy ceremony space and felt magical being under the big mesquite trees. The grounds of Tohono Chul are stunning and unique- our out of town guests just loved strolling through them to get to our wedding space. We heard that this was the best wedding people have ever been too! Mackenzie, Lucie, Helena, Greg and Team were awesome to work with. They were open to all of our ideas and executed them with ease. Highly recommended for a magical tucson wedding! (Below photos taken by Andy Shepard Photography)

November Wedding

I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the staff at TC. We originally planned our wedding for 2020, but had to reschedule for 2021. TC was very flexible and the transition to the new wedding planner, Helena, was seamless. She made the entire experience so stress free. She made such an effort to really understand us and what we wanted. We didn’t even realize how much we needed her until the process began- she was incredible. She asked all the right questions, advocated for us, and kept us on track. The day of she was a total rockstar. The ceremony space was beyond beautiful; everything went so perfectly. She was by my side the day of escorting myself and my bridesmaids around to where we needed to go. She was so helpful and calming. It’s all a blur but Helena handing me a drink and making sure I ate some food stands definitely stands out. I always felt like she had my back. We are so happy with how everything turned out, thank you!!

Our wedding was truly magical. While the venue was easy to work with the caters were amazing! Samantha (who we worked with) went above and beyond in making sure our night turned out the best that it possibly could have. The food was incredible and the transformation of the venue space between ceremony and reception turned out great. We couldn't be happier.

Happy Newlyweds!

We chose Tohono Chul as our venue in December 2019 for a fall 2020 wedding. When the pandemic forced us to change our initial date, they were very flexible and helpful allowing us to secure a new date.

We met our new coordinator, Helena, this summer, and were instantly impressed. She is kind and has a lot of experience. She continually emphasized that our wedding day should be low stress, and she delivered on her promise to ensure a seamless event. She and the rest of the staff at the garden were attentive and helpful the entire day. We even got to eat a full meal - who else gets to say that about their wedding day?

As they staff are all still relatively new, they still have some growing pains to work out - all in all, our wedding day was fun and beautiful. The venue was gorgeous at night with all the lights on the flora. We would recommend Tohono Chul as a venue with an elegant vibe that is quintessentially Tucson.

It was slightly difficult communicating and scheduling appointments, since I was living 2000 miles away. However, they did a great job setting up the venue, allowed us a lot of flexability, and even found a wheelchair at the last minute for a guest who needed it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
