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!La Mariposa did great for my wedding ceremony and I wanna thank Amanda for helping us out organize our special day.

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!La Mariposa was the most absolutely stunning and professional place to hold our wedding.

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.Our wedding at La Mariposa was a dream come true!

Amazing Experience
My husband and I got married 12/10/22 and La Mariposa made it a day to remember. Steve and Francesca are very knowledgable and helped us through the entire process making our special day stress free and memorable. We have received compliments from guests on the amazing food, bar service and DJ, John, who all helped make the event fun not only for my husband and I but for our guests as well. La Mariposa also has recommendations for decorations and bakers who are not all on WeddingWire. Endless Decor and Nadine's Bakery did a phenomenal job and I could not be happier. Everything is what we envisioned. If you are looking for a beautiful, affordable and stress free venue, La Mariposa is the venue for you!My husband and I got married 12/10/22 and La Mariposa made it a day to remember.

Our wedding was spectacular from beginning to end. The owners were amazing. The venue was perfect. The cost was incredible for what we received. But PLEASE let me brag on our officiant/DJ John!!! If you are thinking of getting anyone else officiate. DONT. John is the most amazing person I’ve ever dealt with. He was friendly, accommodating, the music was incredible. But what we really loved about John was the emotion he displayed during our ceremony. You would think he was family. He made us feel like he knew us for years. I could boast about John and La Mariposa for hours- but see for yourself. It’s the best place in Tucson. Best place in Arizona!!Our wedding was spectacular from beginning to end.

Gorgeous venue, great people!
I can't say enough great things about La Mariposa, Kacie, & John! They treated us like family from start to finish, not just tolerating our quirks, but celebrating them! Everything was done on time, to perfection, and they kept me (mother-of-the-bride) calm and collected in the process. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, and our daughter's day was perfect!

Professional, accommodating, and budget friendly
This venue is straight up PROFESSIONAL, ACCOMMODATING, and BUDGET FRIENDLY. The location has a very private feel as it is tucked away from the rest of the city. Plenty of paved parking for the guests. The outdoor ceremony was in front of the gazebo with mountain views, majestic trees, and a serene pond. Nothing short of BREATHTAKING! It started to rain right after the ceremony and the reception was moved completely indoors. Talk about flexibility. The Mexican food was spectacular! DJ John nailed it with the music and as the MC. The staff was friendly and on top of things throughout the night. Appropriate COVID protocols were in place. The rain disappeared after dinner and we were able to also celebrate outside! Clean-up was easy and efficient. Unfortunately at the end of the night I discovered that a part of a tree had landed on my car after the storm but John was attentive and Steve was responsive with getting the damages repaired. Honestly, don’t book your wedding until you’ve checked out this place. Otherwise, you’ll never know what you missed out on!This venue is straight up PROFESSIONAL, ACCOMMODATING, and BUDGET FRIENDLY.

La Mariposa is a "dream come true" wedding venue!
I could not imagine a more beautiful place for an outdoor wedding in Tucson. Steve and all the staff were fabulous, going out of their way to make sure everything as splendid as possible, including the food and service. My guests were absolutely delighted to be in such a lush setting with ponds and mountain views. A magical day!I could not imagine a more beautiful place for an outdoor wedding in Tucson.

The staff are friendly and attentive. The location was beautiful and had the option of having inside or outside celebration. Both are just as beautiful! The food was delicious, the venue was perfectly landscaped and the packages were unbeatable!

Absolutely Perfect
This venue and the staff were absolutely amazing, my husband and I had the best day of our lives here. I got 1 million compliments on the south of the border Buffay, and the venue is absolutely stunning. The DJ John goes above and beyond his duties and is absolutely wonderful. I could go on and on, I will simply say that this could not have been a better choice and we would do it over again 1 million times!This venue and the staff were absolutely amazing, my husband and I had the best day of our lives here.

My Perfect Day at La Mariposa!
Thank you La Mariposa for a storybook wedding. I have heard brides say how difficult it is to first choose and then organize all the venue decisions. I didn’t experience any of that. La Mariposa’s attention to detail, commitment to excellence and calm expertise created a fabulous event.
La Mariposa is the prettiest place in Tucson to get married. While the location itself is still convenient to reach, from the moment you begin down their long private road, you see nothing but the natural beauty and the peacefulness the place offers. With unobstructed views of the Catalinas and those huge old mesquite trees, you know you are somewhere rare and special.
They offer an incredibly high level of quality from start to finish. Beginning with their help in planning your special day, their excellent vendor recommendations, the yummy tasting session, their availability and kindness through the months before right up to the big day, it’s wonderful.
Cynthia and Steve went above and beyond to listen to what I wished for and then to make it happen. Cynthia was there every moment, no detail was overlooked. We had the best DJ, John, who ran the timing of the entire evening seamlessly. He and Cynthia make a great team on the day of. He was fun and took really good care of us. Genevieve, who made our cake, is doll and an artist. She made us the most fantastic cake. It was exactly what we talked about and looked better than the pictures I showed her. Classic, elegant and delicious. Pepe, the Mariposa chef, is gifted. Everything was cooked perfectly. Finally, a big shout out to our talented photographer, Ryan, everyone loved him and his pictures are extraordinary. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about our wedding, the food, how beautiful everything looked and how much fun they had.
May 25, 2019 at La Mariposa, when I got to marry the best man there is, was better than I could have dreamed. Thank you La Mariposa!

Beautiful venue! Great people!
This has got to be one of - if not - the most beautiful venues in Tucson!
Not to mention the people that own and run the venue obviously know what they're doing with food, setup, and service.
If you're looking for an event venue at all in Tucson, I'd give this place a look and maybe you'll be as impressed as we were!This has got to be one of - if not - the most beautiful venues in Tucson!

I was the officiant for a ceremony at La Mariposa Friday evening. This is not the first ceremony I've performed there, but felt compelled to write a review after this one. The ceremony got off to a later than scheduled time due to a traffic accident that affected guests ability to arrive on time. It gave me the opportunity to sit and observe as well as speak with the very gracious owners of the property. They were patient, attentive and worked together to ensure the Bride and Groom's needs were met. I was also treated very well, more like a guest than a vendor. I look forward to performing more ceremonies at La Mariposa. Hats off to a top rate management team! Thanks again!I was the officiant for a ceremony at La Mariposa Friday evening.

La Mariposa made me feel like a very pampered bride. All the guests were extremely happy and had a wonderful time. The food was incredible! I could not have asked for better staff. Rita, my wedding planner, was on top of everything! I couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend La Mariposa.

5 stars is an understatement
We had an amazing evening. Great food? Great music? Great drinks? All checked. Everything was perfect! Any big events I have will now be at La Mariposa. The reason is due to the staff. You cannot find these beautiful souls anywhere else. It is these people, who truly made the night unforgettable.
Johnny: The DJ who does it ALL. He helped with every detail of the planning, decision making, and brainstorming. Thanks to him, the night flowed smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. His ideas were brilliant (he even made my decorating better!) and I'm still getting calls from guests just praising him. He had 90 year-olds on the dance floor and made several personal touches, too numerous to list. He has the biggest heart wrapped up in the most professional demeanor I've ever seen.
Amanda: Our lovely coordinator who also makes the best martini in town. Not only did she work the bar expertly, she gave me the best menu recommendations, kept constant communication during the planning, charmed all our guests, and put out every fire. She is on it.
These people are pros....with hearts. I've had MANY large events at several places in town, but have never left with the desire to adopt the staff. They truly deserve all the credit for our memorable night. You can't go wrong when the staff cares just as much about your event as you do. These dynamic folks will do everything to make your event perfect. Johnny and Amanda, thank you from the bottom of my heart.We had an amazing evening. Great food? Great music? Great drinks?

A Magical Romantic Venue
Right after viewing the venue we were sold by the 100+ year old mesquite trees. It feels like a totally different world straight from a fairytale. John and Steve were incredibly flexible and professional, you can tell they have ran 1000’s of weddings in the past. La Mariposa was the perfect location!Right after viewing the venue we were sold by the 100+ year old mesquite trees. It feels like a totally different world straight from a fairytale.

Perfect Wedding
La Mariposa was our daughter’s only choice for her wedding venue and when we saw it we immediately understood why. It is spectacularly beautiful.
Steve and Francesca, received us with warm hospitality and offered thoughtful guidance as we moved through the wedding planning process. They were patient and made excellent suggestions, which contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day. For that, I and my family will always be grateful.
Great food, great DJ and music, Great fun!
Also, it was a destination wedding and Steve got us very good reduced room rates for our out of town guests at the nearby Hilton East in Tucson; a very nice hotel.

Amazing Wedding Experience
My Wife and I had our wedding here at the end of January. Steve and Francesca were amazing getting everything set up for our day! We originally had to postpone our wedding a year, in which they were very accommodating. From the DJ (John Lochert) who they recommended, to the food that was served (LOTS and LOTS of compliment, definitely did not disappoint! ) , to the service that was provided, everything was outstanding. We had a lot of out of town guests and no one could believe this venue is in Tucson. Absolutely beautiful and would recommend to anyoneMy Wife and I had our wedding here at the end of January.

Best place ever
Honestly an amazing event.
Casey the coordinator was awesome and helped and explained everything! Any mishaps she fixed and was perfect!
John the DJ and officiant was spot on! My officiant dropped out less than a week before the wedding and he jumped in and handled everything so smoothly!! The music was awesome and everyone had so much fun!
He improvised so well during my family/daughter dance when my drunk grandpa cut in randomly and no one knew it wasn’t supposed to happen!
Highly recommend
I’m still getting texts from everyone who attended saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that they had the time of their life!
Food was amazing btw!! Everyone was so happy and it was so nice to seeHonestly an amazing event.
