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!!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:
Hi Billie
Thank you for the wonderful review! We try to treat every Wedding like it is the only one we are doing that month. John does a fabulous job and has been our House DJ for 24 years! Francesca and I are happy that you had a fabulous Wedding. Best of luck to you both in the future! -

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!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:
Hi Ashton

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! Thank you, thank you, thank you!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:

Vic K. Sent on 02/11/2022Professional, 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!

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!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:
Thank you Amanda for the nice review and for trusting La Mariposa with your Special Day! Congratulations and best wishes for the future!

Mary R. Sent on 10/30/2021La 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!La Mariposa Resort - Weddings & Special Events's reply:

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!
