Kayla Married on 05/22/2022Best 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 see -

Vic K. Married on 07/10/2021Professional, 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!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:
Thank you Vic for the kind words. So happy that you had a great time at the Wedding. Sorry that a big branch fell on your car during the storm. Thank you for being patient with the reimbursement on your damage!

Amanda P. Married on 10/22/2020Absolutely 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!-

Mary R. Married on 04/25/2020La 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!-

Danielle D. Married on 05/25/2019My 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!

William Married on 11/17/2018Beautiful 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! -
Loren Married on 03/17/2018I would really like to thank La Mariposa Resort for accommodating our special day. The owner Steve and his amazing team of employees made the night relaxing, fun, and memorable. In the planning phase, Cynthia and John went above and beyond to assure planning was seamless. They helped my husband and I plan through every wedding detail, create a timeline, pick meals/desserts, etc. They did not control our wedding vision, only encourage and help make it happen.
The day of, Steve and his powerhouse team of employees helped from start to finish. From setting up the ceremony/reception to serving us an excellent dinner for all our guests. I could go on, but I simply don’t have the words. We had guests from Korea, England, Texas, Maine, and many other places and haven’t heard anything but compliments about the evening - all thanks to La Mariposa. For all Tucson brides, this is your venue. I promise!-
