The Stillwell House Reviews

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!!

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.

This team truly made our wedding day go seamlessly. If there were any issues, we had no idea. They made sure we had drinks and had a taste of our appetizers. They coordinated and decorated and were fantastic. Every guest said the place looked beautiful and the best wedding they attended.

The Stillwell House gave me the wedding of my dreams and took it to the next level! Maria from the stillwell house made sure that my look of my wedding was absolutely beautiful and asked me about the smallest details that I would have never thought of until it was too late 😂 I knew she had it all covered and I could relax and get ready to get married! Jennifer was a day of coordinator and let me know everything I needed to properly manage our time for the wedding. The quality of the food was incredible, the venue was gorgeous, staff amazing and all of our guests had the best time. They took many precautions to ensure that we were covid safe and let us know in advance what restrictions needed to be met to be in compliance and ensure our guests safety. I really appreciated this! Overall, not a single complaint, only the best compliments!!!

I can not say enough good things about the Stillwell House and their staff, Wilma especially. She made our day come true, and every one of our guests absolutely loved the site. They provide catering and the food was exceptional. I suggest the chicken nopalitos, it was an extremely beautiful plate and tasted delicious.

The best venue! This was our first pick and we are so happy we went with Stillwell! We were married 4/26 and our guests STILL can’t stop talking about how beautiful and intimate this venue was. The layout is perfect and the garden is stunning with the lights at night. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in Downtown Tucson! It was a huge hit and we didn’t regret it one bit !

Booking Stillwell House and Garden as our reception venue was the best decision I made for our wedding. The team here is amazing, patient and kind. I booked very far in advance and they helped walk me through the process of what to expect and were very helpful. I really wanted an outdoor wedding venue because we had so many visiting guests that are from the Midwest and dining outside at stillwell was amazing and beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests. The menu options here are the best that I saw in comparison to other venues, a great value and the food was DELICIOUS! The team setup all of my decor better than I imagined and were incredibly helpful and organized with returning all my decor and pulling it all together for me to take home after the wedding. This is a wonderful venue, everything here is beautiful and there are multiple spaces in case weather doesn’t go your way, you can also bring your own alcohol to supply at the wedding which was a great value. We couldn’t be happier booking here, it’s an awesome location in the heart of Downtown tucson and our guests enjoyed everything.

Stillwell House was a perfect choice for our wedding. The staff there was very comforting, informative, and worked extremely hard to make our day run smoothly. Wilma was our manager for rehearsal, and the wedding day, and ran it so efficiently and professionally. My groom and I had a blast, and felt that we couldn’t have asked for a more seamless event. Beyond that, the guests enjoyed the beautiful courtyard, and delicious food.

If I could give Wilma and her team 6 stars I would. From the initial planning to last minute changes, Wilma was prompt with a response and easily accessible. She answered questions right away or got back to me within 24 hours. My day was perfect and it was due to her and the amazing team at The Stillwell House!

The Stillwell House was amazing! I have no complaints about them at all! Wilma was awesome to work with and really knows her stuff and what it takes to make your ceremony and reception run smoothly!
I had my ceremony in the courtyard and the arbor and seating were decorated beautifully! They incorporated their own decorations in with the items that I provided and it all meshed wonderfully!
Dinner was in the main house and was excellent! Every one of my guests commented on how good the food was! I even had a few of my more picky guests say they ate it all!
The staff is very professional and they really go the extra mile to make sure that we had everything that we needed. 5 BIG stars for the Stillwell House!

If you are looking for a private venue for a small wedding (less than 150 people), with a beautiful backdrop that is conveniently located and easily accessible to your guests and wedding party, than this is the place. I was looking for a vineyard-like backdrop as my theme revolved around wine and Greece (the Greek's love their wine) but I was afraid of the high price tag that came with a typical vineyard. While the Stillwell House is not a vineyard nor has it ever been, the decor of the private garden and of the house itself achieved the feel. The price was exceptional, considering our package contained food, service, linens, plates, use of the house and property for six hours to include the two hour pre-ceremony set-up, bar service, cutlery, tables, chairs, and any extras the house had available. Willma and Candice are very knowledgable in the workings of weddings and their experience shown brightly through as they sat down and went over every detail of wedding with me. Both were very professional in their dealings with me and they were flexible by letting us pay them gradually up to the week before the wedding.

Because of these two ladies, my wedding was a success that to this day I am still getting compliments on it!

P.S.
Book as far in advance as possible. By the end of month in which I booked, they were booked solid for June.

This is such a hidden gem in Tucson with all the great personal touches you could dream of! All the team at The Stillwell House is so easy to work with and made the planning process a dream (especially when planning from out of state). We got so many compliments on the atmosphere, food, and friendly services. This was the best "bang-for-your-buck" venue without ANY compromise in quality! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to family, friends, and would use again in the future for an event!

We've been looking for a venue for a while and at first had no luck. We heard from a friend about Stillwell House and decided to visit. We fell in love from the very beginning. The space is beautiful. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and kind making our experience that much better. The space has a lot of potential and well taken care of.

Choosing the Stillwell House for our wedding was one of the best decisions that we made. It is in the heart of Tucson yet still has a home and garden feeling. The venue itself has three different beautiful environments and we were able to use all three: outside garden area, the cantina/bar/dance floor, and the historic home where we ate the reception meal (this was not our first choice, but it turned out beautiful to eat inside and we are SO glad we did!). One of the biggest things that our guests complimented us on was how good the food was at the Stillwell House. Candace, Wilma and Kelly were all very attentive and helpful. We had a few unexpected external issues that arose and the Stillwell team was very accommodating to navigate these issues ensuring that our day remained special and that everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend the Stillwell house for any wedding.

My wedding was beautiful and perfect at the Stillwell House. They did amazing on everything and it turned out incredible. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, especially on the wedding day.

I can not recommend Stillwell House enough. The prices are reasonable, the food is amazing, and they will set up and take down your decor if you bring it for them. It is absolutely beautiful, and the staff was wonderful. We had so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was, and how delicious the food was!! It was the best wedding ever, and it was in large part because of how great this venue was. Thank you!!!

Could not have picked a more beautiful venue. Places inside and outside for everyone. Did not need a lot of extra decorations because the venue is gorgeous. Kelly was wonderful. Food fabulous. Wait staff attentive.

Having our wedding reception at Stillwell House was one of the best decisions we have ever made! Not only was it affordable but it was absolutely gorgeous and the food was delicious! Candace, Kelly and Wilma were so great to work with and they helped make our big day run so smoothly. We got sooo many compliments on the ambiance and set up of the Stillwell House, and of course, the food. Our guests were in awe at the beauty of the garden- the lights, flowers. I loved how in one venue we got 3 different atmospheres (the house, the outside garden area and the cantina). We would not have changed a thing! Thank you, Stillwell House, for making our wedding day a dream come true!!! We highly recommend, The Stillwell House :)

The Stillwell house is not only a beautiful venue, but the staff is amazing! Everyone we worked with was great! Specifically Wilma and Kelly. They listened to us and answered all our questions. I felt like I had a lot of decorations and details for the wedding and they executed everything perfectly! Thank you!

All who came to our event raved about the Stillwell House.

Stillwell House and Garden was amazing. I have no regrets choosing them for our wedding venue. The venue itself is beautiful, from the main house to the courtyard. The value was amazing! They provide linens, tables, beautiful decorations, and the in-house catering gives you one less thing to worry about, and it's an amazing deal. Wilma was an amazing coordinator, and made our wedding run incredibly smoothly. The icing on the cake: all of our guests told us that ours was the best, and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, and I'd like to think that's all due to the Stillwell House.

The Stillwell House provides a unique downtown Tucson setting that is versatile for small or large weddings. Our wedding size was close to 100 and the space was more than adequate to hold an intimate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Wilma and Katie were very easy to work with and very responsive. They covered everything with us on multiple occasions and made sure we did not miss a single detail. We knew it was a great venue when we choose it but we were over joyed with how it all turned out and the professionalism of the whole team.

Beautiful setting with no additional decor needed. Well organized, the staff knows exactly what they are doing and do it well. My guests enjoyed themselves and we relaxed. All of the staff were gracious and responsive to all needs. Details are their specialty.

Love love love this place and the staff. So beautiful

I cannot say enough about how special and amazing Stillwell House made our wedding. Wilma is a miracle worker and she made the day run smooth and perfect. The most romantic atmosphere, delicious food, and great customer service.
