About This Vendor
A Historic Venue for Today’s Love Stories
The Historic Bates Mansion is a wedding venue located in Tucson, Arizona. Situated in the heart of the city, this historic building was formerly the home of the famous Mountain Oyster Club. The Club, which has been a part of Tucson’s vibrant social scene since 1948, has moved on, but the Bates Mansion remains a place renowned for its splendor and quality service. There, you and your guests are invited to experience something truly extraordinary. Step back in time as you step forward into the future, and prepare to make memories you’ll cherish forever. Owners David and Allie Lazarus celebrated their own marriage at the Bates Mansion. They loved it so much that they leapt at the chance to establish their business there. David and Allie have reimagined and redesigned the space, and today, it boasts a rustic hacienda look and an inviting, cozy atmosphere. It is so homey, in fact, that some claim that Mrs. Bates never really left. If you’re lucky, her ghost might even decide to make an appearance. The Historic Bates Mansion is proud to host engagement parties, showers, elopements, wedding ceremonies, and receptions. The venue includes indoor and uncovered outdoor event spaces. Wedding package features include event planning assistance and tables, chairs, linens, glassware, and audio equipment. A list of preferred vendors will be provided for your convenience. Catering and bar services are also available. David and Allie can’t wait to meet you and discuss how they can help turn your wedding dreams into reality.

Historic Bates Mansion Reviews
My wife and I had the pleasure of having our wedding at the Bates Mansion. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at this venue. The building itself was beautiful, from the bridal party room to the courtyard, we were able to fit 100+ people comfortably. The host of the venue, David and his employees were great. Every request was accommodated, with David going the extra mile to ensure our special day was perfect. We couldn't have planned or thrown such an awesome wedding without the help of David and his crew. 100/10 for this venue!!!Side note: If you want a real party for your wedding the Bates Mansion is THE place.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding at the Historic Bates Mansion, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. From the moment we first set foot on the stunning property, it was clear that this venue was something truly special. And that's all thanks to the amazing owner, David!The elegant architecture, lush gardens, and timeless charm made for a fairytale setting that left our guests in awe. It was the ideal blend of classic and romantic, and we couldn't have asked for a more picturesque venue.What truly set the Historic Bates Mansion apart was David, the owner. His dedication, passion, and attention to detail were evident in our wedding planning and execution. From our very first meeting, David made us feel like family, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our every request. He took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to make it a reality.David's expertise and professionalism were invaluable in helping us navigate the intricacies of wedding planning. He provided excellent recommendations for vendors, coordinated seamlessly with our chosen team, and ensured that every aspect of the day ran smoothly. His calm and reassuring presence on the day of the wedding put our minds at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration.Our guests raved about the beauty of the venue and the warmth of the staff. The service was impeccable, and the whole day was truly magical, thanks in large part to David and the Historic Bates Mansion team.If you're looking for a venue that combines history, beauty, and a dedicated owner who genuinely cares about making your special day perfect, I wholeheartedly recommend the Historic Bates Mansion. Our wedding there was a dream come true, and we are incredibly grateful to David for making it all possible. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Where to begin? We are so happy we scouted out this venue when we did and we gate-kept it for as long as we could but nothing can stop an incredible place like this from getting popular. This is seriously THE spot to get married in Tucson. It has the authentic feel with a modern and classy edge that goes with any aesthetic. Did I mention the bridal and groom suites for getting ready? Unbelievably gorgeous and comfortable. Guests were obsessed with the vibe and the many photo ops throughout the space. David and his team, Rashid the DJ, Vince the bartender, Michelle with Atlas Catering, are absolutely unmatched. We were able to customize where we wanted and ask any questions we needed with a quick response time. Sadly, our wedding had a medical emergency occur (everyone ended up being ok!) and everyone on staff was compassionate and professional. They even followed up with us after our wedding to make sure our guest was doing ok. I cannot say enough positive things about Bates, it truly is something special and we feel lucky to have been married there. We'll never forget it <3

This is an amazing place to get married. We got married at the end of February and David and the whole crew were incredible. David was always responsive leading up to the wedding with any questions that we had and was always willing to give tours when we had family, etc. that wanted to see the venue. All of our vendors said the Bates was easy to work with. On the day of, everyone was super supportive and took care of every detail. The food and DJ were both great as well. Would HIGHLY recommend the Bates for any wedding or event.

You will not find a better venue in Tucson!! The night was magical and everything we could have asked for! I wish we could post photos! David, the owner was at our side all night! He made sure things ran smoothly and that we got our dinner before any guest. The venue and night were breathtaking and we can’t recommend this place enough!

Allie and David made our wedding beyond amazing. Every time I started to have a mini panic attack, they talked me off the ledge and put me at ease. I just got my wedding album back and wanted to shout out the amazing team that made our wedding so special.We had some specific limiting factors: we needed something handicap accessible, VERY kid friendly (a third of our guest list was under 18), and open to a small, casual wedding.I cannot say enough about David and Allie at the Bates Mansion. They rolled with every punch and made the whole evening seamless, effortless, and zero-stress. 10/10 would get married there again (lol jk). They are accessible and easy to talk to, they listen, and they care about their couples. They set up giant connect four and we brought games and the kids were totally included. I had really really hoped to have an out-in-the-desert wedding, but family health issues made that impossible. However, Bates is across the street from this gorgeous little garden, so I was still able to get all the cactus and desert plant pics the my little desert rat heart could hope for. I flew my photographer in, so she wasn't super familiar with Tucson or the venue. David knew where to get the best shots - in fact, there was one spot, he kept insisting that we needed to try and I was just kinda meh about it, but we went ahead and took the pic. When we got the album back, the pic that he insisted on was hands-down my favorite (in front of the brick wall). Getting married at Bates was the best thing I did for our wedding. I wish I could share pics on here to help support what a gorgeous and conducive wedding venue it is.
