Stillwell House

t the option that left all of my guests saying, “That was the best wedding I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a LOT of weddings!” YES. Read on for all the detz. I was a bride with wide eyes and a list of non-negotiables. Before we secured Stillwell, we toured and received quotes for a variety of Tucson venues including Loew’s Ventana, Ritz Dove Mountain, JW Starpass Marriott, Stardance, Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, Hacienda Del Sol, I could keep going but you catch my drift. No bride rock went unturned in my quest to locate the perfect venue. Then I was discouraged by the proposals provided by these venues on average, $80-100K for four hours, your traditional menu, and a four-drink minimum. My excitement was met with tears due to reality – where are we going to get 100K to host an exceptional wedding? Intro  Stillwell house. Ambiance: • The Stillwell team allows you to create your vision using their unique bones and beautiful courtyard. For example, we prepared for rain on our NYE wedding therefore, organized a clear tent over the courtyard which amplified the magical ambiance. Flowers was top of mind and Bloom Maven elevated their already beautiful green stems with roses and an abundance of baby breath. Staff: • Candace, Wilma, and all the many faces at Stillwell are your guides – they prevent you from overdoing it but also align with your initiatives and objectives. Always being available to assist with any questions, problems, and hypotheticals we had. • Leveraged Billi Delgado as our Wedding Planner with ACA Event Studios to help with all the day to day planning, she knows the venue incredibly well having worked there in the past • With any outside vendor, Stillwell accommodated their arrival, set up, and made sure they were positioned in the most conducive place for guests and visual appease Food: • Everyone comes to a wedding knowing they will get a few apps, a cold piece of chicken or steak with a lame side. OKAY, not the case here- Stillwell delivers on the FOOD. I have never had so many texts or comments on food alone! Everyone raved about the bacon wrapped shrimp, the elongated charcuterie board, spicy meatballs, spinach artichoke, and this was just the apps. Incoming- fresh off the grill, split plate, scalloped potatoes, mac and cheese… which was all raved about. • Later we rolled out a late-night nacho bar which again, brought people luring with their mouths watering. At one point, our officiant commented on our cousin who was taking a to-go bag home of mini-chimmi’s in fear he wasn’t going to leave enough for others to have seconds, LOL. Overall, you give out of towners the experience of downtown Tucson, you share with them an intimate venue where space doesn’t feel limited but conversations feel closer, the backdrop you aspire to obtain as a couple (truly, I could have forgo’d the florals and it would have been just as beautiful) and the confidence the staff and owners are going to give you a remarkable night to remember forever. With 200 guests the only thing I was concerned about was space and never ONCE did I feel like we didn’t have enough. The Stillwell team is the real deal, the dream team, and made our nuptials unforgettable.

e and helped calm any nerves we had. The food was great, the venue is just gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and they did so much to help that!

smoothly! I can’t express in enough words how grateful I am to them and how magical the venue is once it was ready for the event! It is the most beautiful space in Tucson! I highly recommend this venue due to their beautiful garden, lovely historic home and traditional cantina! You also get to work with wonderful people to look out for you on your special day. I was stress free on my day because of them! Thank you Stillwell team!

ditional decorations needed to a minimum. On the day of our wedding, the staff perfectly set up our small amount of personal touches and games with minimal direction creating a stress free and beautiful day of experience. The staff was friendly and attentive not only to us but to our guests as well. Even late in the reception, the venue seemed just as clean and perfect as it did during the ceremony. You won’t regret getting married at the stillwell house!

hey have weddings down to a science and their venue is absolutely gorgeous. We booked them last minute with three months before my wedding. When we toured the place, Candace was an absolute go-getter and confidently answered all our questions and gave us plently of advice without feeling like a pushy salesman. I was especially happy with their courtyard area since I wouldn't have to build or rent an arch since they have one built into their courtyard. When I went back for my final appointment, 2 weeks before my big day, Wilma helped me set my timeline and helped make sure I hadn't forgotten any important details like table assignments. My wedding day was the most beautiful day of my life and I didn't have to worry about anything. The wonderful Stillwell staff went the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly and worked easily around a few last minute changes. There's a very good chance that most of my younger siblings will get married here! It's worth it!

We are hoping our other 2 daughters will want to get married at Stillwell House also!

enough! We were especially appreciative of all the precautions they put into place to allow us to safely have a small event despite Covid. If you are considering working with Stillwell House then do not hesitate to book them; you will not be disappointed!

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!

impler. They have a ton of experience, which was very reassuring.

when it came to planning. Plus! We attended a cute group tasting that was buffet style where we were able to try everything they have to offer! So fun. On the day of the wedding, our guests were treated like family, the venue lit up like a dream, and the food was DELICIOUS! Our guests are still raving about it. When your venue takes care of tables, linens, chairs, servers, coffee and tea, sodas, water, and so much more, it really helps remove stress from your wedding planning process. We wholeheartedly recommend the Stillwell House. Thank you!

ing in the flowers over our heads as we got married in the courtyard! I loved having 3 different wedding sites built into one venue. The food was delicious, the ceremony and reception were lovely--it was beyond perfect. Thank you to Kelly, Wilma, Candace, and the entire Stillwell House team for a beautiful ceremony and reception!

ad. I highly recommend the stillwell house for weddings and any other events! They are absolutely wonderful and will make your big day an absolute fairytale!

that we really wanted. The staff was so amazing, helpful, and informative! There were a lot of items that we wanted to DIY for our wedding. Not only were they so accommodating of the crafting and woodworking that we wanted to incorporate; they were also soo helpful in placing everything the way we dreamed of it! They really did make our process of planning and execution of our wedding simple and just the way we wanted!

this venue are extremely professional and willing to go the extra mile in attempt to make the event better. Wilma was amazing during our planning process, thinking and planning out all of our little details that Sam and I hadn't even thought about. She ran our wedding rehearsal and our wedding day and made sure that everything was perfect and all the details were in place. The food was incredible! We were able to choose from a bunch of different items. We even were able to go try the foods at their tasting so we knew what we wanted. The bartenders were efficient and made our signature drinks just how we wanted them. Words cannot express how impressed we were with our entire experience with the Stillwell House. You will not regret your decision in booking with them!

cious. It was seriously the best night of our life and we loved being so close to downtown. For everything included we felt the price was very reasonable. We highly suggest looking into using this venue for your wedding!

y responsive, organized, and professional. The waiting staff was especially great the night of. I don't regret a thing.

ll 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.

en carefully packed them all up at the end of the night. They grabbed things that I left laying around, on our table, or elsewhere, and put them back in the bridal suite so I didn't lose anything. There was a server that made sure my husband and I got appetizers and made sure our drinks were refilled the whole evening. We had many guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I thank the Stillwell House for that. It was truly a fairytale evening.

ll and our experience. Guests LOVED the food and the overall experience. I heard from many that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The grounds are meticulously kept, the workers are polite and prompt, and Wilma really knows how to run a wedding. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

heart of Downtown Tucson! Yes!! They helped create the perfect menu. It was the BEST night ever and we could not have picked a better place!! #love
