“I am new to Art's Express, but my experience has been wonderful. The local talent is amazing. The amount of effort and coordination that must go into each event is very impressive. The productions will make you laugh, possibly cry, but always leave having had a wonderful entertainment experience.”
“Beautiful grounds especially for events like weddings. The landscaping is complete with some of the hugest trees I've ever seen in Tucson. They are remodeling right now and have promised a very exquisite build on to their property. I liked taking the tour through the whole entire facility at my own leisure. There are many tennis courts, a very nice size pool which has just been updated recently, and a hot tub. They have many classrooms ideal weightlifting, dance and so on and so forth. The exercise machines are plentiful. The woman at the counter was so informative and very very polite. She's definitely a keeper. The only thing that I have bad to say I guess about The Mariposa Resort is that the fees for a yearly pass have gone up but that is due to the remodeling jobs, I'm sure. I, personally, was not too keen on the price of a yearly membership currently but it is understandable. The Mariposa Resort is definitely a great option for the folks of Tucson to have for ALL of their fitness needs! If you do decide to get a membership here, it is also a great place to meet a friend or two as well!”
“As a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Stillwell! Shot here countless times and it's always a great experience for everyone! Top notch service and staff, with a beautiful property!”
“One of many reasons I love Tucson is that it can support arty venues like this that cater to a wide variety of alternativish entertainment. Intimate, unpretentious atmosphere.”
“I recently attended a celebration of life at the San Pedro Chapel, and it was truly a special experience. The facility is incredibly historic, with a deep sense of character and authenticity, yet it is very well maintained.
The staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, which made a meaningful difference for such an important event. There is also plenty of information available throughout the property to learn about its history, which adds to the overall experience.
The setting itself is incredibly peaceful, and the view of the Catalina Foothills is absolutely beautiful adding a quiet, reflective backdrop that feels fitting for remembrance.
It’s a beautiful, serene place that honors both its past and the people who gather there.”
“Cute overall decor. In room coffee service was instant coffee but still appreciated. Park your car at valet and go - so much in walking distance. Rooftop pool. Simple but adequate gym. Can't incline on treadmill due to low ceilings. Rooftop bar offers a nice cocktail list. Rooms could've been vacuumed better. You're in the college vibe. Friendly staff.”
“This event salon is beautiful. I planned my daughters quinceañera and she fell in love with this venue. The package that we purchased was all-inclusive and it helped so much with planning.
Lydia was amazing to work with and was so helpful in helping plan everything for what my daughter wanted. She was very resourceful and made sure that my daughter's vision for her special evening was at the forefront of the planning. We had so many little changes the day of and she was able to accommodate all of them.
The staff and employees made the evening so special and they were so professional. All the beverages and food was included, and it was delicious. Our guests were well taken care of. The venue accommodated for our theme and set special areas up for my daughter and her court to set up for different parts of the ceremony. There was security and they helped keep the event orderly and safe. There was constant communication with the DJ, choreographer, and the event venue and it helped everything run so smoothly. I received so many compliments on planning the evening from friends and family, and a lot of that can be contributed to Lydia and this excellent venue. Highly recommended.”

“Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tucson. It’s such a neat spot, and bigger than you would expect since it looks so small on the map!
I went during Christmas and they had beautiful and intricate mini trains and train stations corresponding to historic southern Arizona and other US states train stations. There were gorgeous light displays, and all of the plants were still amazing to look at, even at night!
They have local art exhibit, a gift shop, live music, it’s just so fun!!
It’s truly a lovely place, next time I hope to go check out their butterfly exhibit!”

“This place and the people here are absolutely amazing, especially the owner. From the time they first opened to now, they’ve continually expanded their services and events, truly making the surrounding community a better place to live.
I still remember taking my very young kids to their first mini fair experience and seeing their priceless smiles on the small Ferris wheel. It’s one of those memories you don’t forget.
Now I’m looking forward to coming back with my wife for a trail ride and maybe enjoying some wine and a charcuterie board picnic.
MVR, thank you for being awesome!!!!!”
“We had our wedding reception at Kingan Gardens and were extremely impressed with the planning, communication, preferred vendors, and lovely venue itself.
Matthew did a great job helping us plan out our day and guide the selection process for all the details. The preferred vendors used by Kingan made the process easy and all helped contribute to a great experience.
The venue was beautiful and all those involved in the planning and execution were helpful and made the day perfect.”
“I called and asked you if they would rent their chapel to a church on Sundays and they agreed to prices a little high but we can deal with it and we've been using them now for oh about 3-4 weeks and really nice people we pay by zell so we don't see him a whole lot they do have somebody that meets us there to open up Make sure the air conditioners are on for us and generally she stays the whole time we're there really nice people so if you're looking for a spot for a conference quinceanera graduation party I recommend them highly”
“This was a wonderful place to visit. As we arrived within 45 minutes of their closing time, we were admitted free of charge. We had missed finding it earlier in the week, as it's located in an area with narrow roads, one-way streets, and current road reconstruction (5/26).”
“I had a great experience at Lava Island! The place was fun, clean, and perfect for the kids. I especially want to recognize Kate she was amazing! She was very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. She made sure we had everything we needed and provided excellent customer service. Thank you, Kate, for making our visit even better! We will definitely be coming back.”
“Took a walk down nostalgia lane... Performed a wedding here years ago (20+) and thought then how beautiful it was. Here we are, a lifetime later, and it's just as beautiful and serene as it was then.”
“We had such a wonderful experience hosting our Affinity Group Retreat at Himaya Garden! From start to finish, the team put so much care and attention into creating a truly special experience for our members.
Every detail felt thoughtful, from the beautiful and calming space to the delicious food and beverages and the activities they helped curate for our group. Most importantly, our members felt welcomed, valued, and appreciated, which was exactly what we hoped to create with this retreat.
The Himaya team was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, and it showed in the experience they created for us. We left incredibly grateful and already looking forward to the opportunity to work with them again!”
“My daughter had the most amazing wedding at Stardance.
The venue is breathtaking, all our needs were meet, Kelly was never too busy to answer our calls and emails. When the weather forcast was possible rain, Kelly talked me off the ledge by reinsuring me of rainy day options available.
Our guest raved over their wedding experience. The dance floor was a hugh hit, the DJ, photographer, and bar service were 5 stars. My daughter smiled the entire day and was able to enjoy her wedding because everything was perfect.
Stardance are experts at wedding planning.
Thank you Kelly and staff for the wonderful wedding memories.”
“I really enjoyed walking around this rustic gallery, perusing fantastic displays of human creativity uniquely presented against the red brick walls of Steinfeld Gallery. Interesting lay-out of the building which further creates interest in the art pieces being displayed. It was a splendid evening indeed!”
“My husband and I got married at Oasis in early May, and it was nothing short of perfect. During our pre-wedding meetings, Hannah and Sierra were incredibly helpful and answered all of my never-ending questions. We never felt stressed or worried about how the day would turn out. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Since most of our guests traveled from out of town, they were blown away by the desert landscape and the beautiful sunset views during the ceremony. The food was delicious, and DJ Obi-Wan kept everyone dancing all night long! Hannah and Judy were especially helpful on the wedding day, checking in with us throughout the evening and making sure everything ran smoothly. The day went by far too fast, and we wish we could do it all over again. Thank you, Oasis, for giving us such a beautiful and memorable wedding day!”

“The event we planned with Pia was a great success! Everything went very well! All our guests were very pleased and some guests asked about contacts for an event they were planning.
Pia was exceptional in helping us plan the event as well as very patient with us when we kept changing the schedules and everything else! She is so amazing in her suggestions and coordination with all the parts of the events, it's a great help for those of us that are not familiar with what goes into planning a large event. I highly recommend The Venue Event & Conference Center at The Sheraton.”

“Had a great first experience at Pinz this week! My little one accidentally left behind her brand new water bottle, and James and Rebecca were so helpful to locate it and reunite her with it. Their kindness and customer service truly stood out and made our day. Excited to come back again for more bowling and fun ?✨”
“I had a great experience renting an apartment at Casa Blanca in Tucson, AZ. Linda and Erika were both amazing throughout the entire process. They were very professional, kind, and always available to answer any questions I had.
They made everything smooth and stress-free, and you can tell they truly care about their tenants. I really appreciate their help and would definitely recommend Casa Blanca to anyone looking for a place to live.
Thank you, Linda and Erika, for your excellent service!”
“Savoy & team helped us host a BEAUTIFUL corporate and non-profit combo event and I could not recommend them more! The staff was on top of every detail in planning, the environment and staging was gorgeous, every bite of food impeccable, and the outcome made an incredible impact on our guests. Plus, you get the bonus of a true southwest town at Traildust - built in vibes!”
“As one of the founding Members, I’m a little biased but there’s simply no other venue in Southern Arizona like The Sands Club. From the staff to the cuisine to the overall vibe and layout of the Club, it’s unmatched in our community.”

It was an amazing night!! So pleased and thankful!”
“We've attended numerous shows over many years at this theater. There is always a wide variety of performances here. The theater is comfortable and spacious with good views in all seats. The theater staff is friendly and helpful.”
“Not as crowded as spectrum or park place. Great seats, free refills on soda, alcohol and ice cream, and Starbucks. More adult friendly. Arcade games in-house and right next door to Costco, Walmart, Dave and busters and restaurants”
“I had such a great experience photographing a wedding at The Buttes! The venue is beautiful and offers so much variety throughout the property, which is always a huge plus as a Tucson wedding photographer. There are plenty of great options for portraits and so many different ways to use the space throughout the wedding day.
The venue team was friendly, helpful and easy to work alongside, which makes such a difference when you’re part of a larger vendor team. Everything flowed smoothly and I really enjoyed photographing there.
I would absolutely recommend The Buttes to couples looking for a beautiful Tucson wedding venue and I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to photograph a wedding there!”
