Cass Gelt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2022 Alright, I am going to preface by saying I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Yet somehow Stillwell delivered with my love for champagne and elevated my expectations of a wedding venue. Was Stillwell the cheapest venue option? No. But was it the option that left all of my guests saying, âThat was the best wedding Iâve ever been to and Iâve been to a LOT of weddings!â 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 Loewâs 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 â where are we going to get 100K to host an exceptional wedding? Intro ď Stillwell house. Ambiance: â˘\tThe 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: â˘\tCandace, Wilma, and all the many faces at Stillwell are your guides â 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.â˘\tLeveraged 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 â˘\tWith 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: â˘\tEveryone 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. â˘\tLater 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-chimmiâs in fear he wasnât 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 doesnât feel limited but conversations feel closer, the backdrop you aspire to obtain as a couple (truly, I could have forgoâd 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 didnât have enough. The Stillwell team is the real deal, the dream team, and made our nuptials unforgettable. Reviewed on 09-01-2023

I work in the food and service industry at a country club south of Tucson, so I'm quite familiar about how things should be run. Stillwell House is pure professionals. They 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.

Erin Treat(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2017 Stillwell House does TONS of weddings. TONS. Which means they know how to put on a beautiful event - how to help you organize your day-of schedule (SO helpful if, like me, you're a clueless bride who hasn't spent her whole life planning her dream wedding), how to guide your guests through each of their three gorgeous spaces so the whole event flows effortlessly, how to style their venue so that the wedding looks much fancier and more expensive than it actually is. They have it DOWN.Plus, their food is delicious, and they're totally willing to go the extra mile to make sure you're happy with your selections (we went through three rounds of tasting with our vegetarian entree). And the food (like everything else!) is very, very reasonably priced.A couple of caveats: If you want to do things different from the way they usually do them, you have to be prepared for some pushback. It's all well-intentioned (they know what works, and they want you to have a great day), but you will have to assure them - and then reassure them - that yes, you're sure you want to do it that way, thanks.Also: They offer a discount on your rehearsal dinner if you do it at one of their partner restaurants and have them set it up (score!), but I'd advise you to be very clear about what kind of rehearsal dinner you're envisioning if you go with that deal. We assumed we'd be in a private room / area with our group of 20 so that folks could give toasts, get up and mingle, etc. What we got was a long table in the middle of the restaurant's patio, surrounded by other large tables - no speechifying or mingling was really possible. To be fair, we should've established what we wanted in advance instead of assuming they'd know. In the end, it was fine, and we weren't upset, but if a certain kind of rehearsal dinner is important to you, make sure they know.We had a beautiful day at a beautiful venue, and we didn't have to stress about any of the nitty-gritty, behind-the-scenes stuff, which is priceless.

The morning of my wedding, my brain went through the many details that I was sure I forgot to mention to Kelly and Wilma, but they read my mind and everything was where it needed to be! I even forgot the pens that I picked out especially for my guestbook, but the staff at Stillwell found replacements.I appreciated the staff's ability to problem solve! Everything was perfect (and anything that wasn't was expertly fixed without my knowledge!). The ceremony space was set up beautifully and Wilma did a great job directing everyone and keeping us on track. Guests were so impressed by the delicious meal and (stiff) drinks. We received so many compliments and I'm so glad that we chose the Stillwell House for our wedding. The spaces are all so beautiful and so much of the decor is available without extra cost, so you can go simple with flower arrangements and other decor items - this was a huge plus for us! Additionally, I appreciated that so much was included in the cost, so we didn't have to worry about communicating with a separate bartender or catering company.I know some of the other reviews say that they aren't very flexible... that wasn't my experience at all. Wilma and Kelly are the experts and will absolutely let you know if they think there is an easier or more elegant way to get something done, but also respect whatever decision you make. Most of the time, I took their advice and the day was better for it. A few times, we stuck to our original decision and it worked out too. All they want is for you to have a great day :)I also want to mention that whenever we met with any of our vendors and they asked what our venue was, the next thing they said (without fail) was, \"Oh that's great!

Here are some of my experiences:\rWe had two priorities for our reception, good food and a good bar, and Stillwell house delivered on both! We chose the prickly pear BBQ chicken and green chili mashed potatoes and it was a hit. Even the picky eaters in the family loved it. We served two signature cocktails and some varied liquor, wine, and beer. We loved that you provided the alcohol so you are paying for what you want to serve, and not for things your guests wonât drink! The bartender got both our signature drinks perfectly (whiskey sour and cranberry margarita) even though I forgot to give him a recipe. He even through in cute garnishes. We loved that Stillwell house serves all drinks in glassware, no un-classy clear plastic cups here!\rOther bonuses to having your wedding at Stillwell house is that they have a wide variety of tablecloth colors for you to choose from at no extra charge. They also have items for your centerpieces such as vases, containers, picture frames, and mirrors. All you need to do is provide candles, flowers, etc. I forgot to order flowers for the guest book table, and Wilma made sure that the table didnât look empty. Other than a few items for the tables, I loved that the venue needs very little decoration. My mom was delighted that they do so much of the set-up and tear down for you!\rWe did not have our ceremony at the Stillwell house, and I would agree with some previous reviews that this venue has wedding receptions down to a science. If you want to deviate from their set path, you will receive some push back. Honestly, in the end I would say push for what you want, but remember that Wilma and her team had years of experience and they are really trying to make your life easier you your wedding day perfect. I also read some reviews about sales and different price quotes. I was concerned with this as I was getting married on a holiday so they would be charging an additional âservice feeâ. Additionally, the 1 week promotion for signing after you visit fell on a holiday, so they said they would extend it to 2 weeks. Hold your ground and learn to negotiate and you will get a fair and excellent deal! Finally, we were also a small wedding, and some things were forgotten like serving cider to the kids for the toast. Oh well, nothing is perfect. I notice this, but my guests were non-the wiser.\rOne downside I found in planning was that the since it is a wedding venue, most weekends are slammed with events. Therefore, you will need to schedule most of your meetings during the week, during business hours. This was a challenge for me as I had a full time job in PHX. Even when I was able to schedule a meeting, my meetings were often interrupted by another client.\rOne last work of advice, donât miss out on their open houses!\r Reviewed on 15-02-2013

Nicole LeBlanc(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2012 They do weddings... it's their specialty! And mine was perfect, mainly because of them. Wonderful staff, great planning. I honestly don't have enough good stuff to say about them. Plus, their price was really reasonable in comparison to other places we looked at. Reviewed on 15-05-2012

Rebecca King(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-02-2012 I had a large wedding of about 140 people. The Stillwell House is family owned and operated and the setting is absolutely beautiful. They have so much available to you at no extra cost. The courtyard is stunning and I hardly had to do anything to decorate. The staff was very friendly and attentive. You get a lot for your money. They don't charge extra for things like cake cutting the way that other places do. And you can take your own alcohol to be served by their bartenders, they provide all the mixings.

Sarah Wojtovich(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-11-2011 Very helpful, all inclusive wedding venue! They have an open house to try all the food and show all their different decorations. They know a lot about what they're doing and made our wedding day very smooth and wonderful! I highly recommend them to anyone (also their food is delicious :)) Reviewed on 30-12-2011
Sarah Welch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2011 Wilma and Candace are the most organized and helpful people I could ask for. They answered all questions quickly and helped keep everything on schedule. The venue is GORGEOUS and my upper class New York relatives were impressed, no need to add any decorations. Very, very, very reasonably priced!!!! So much my Dad offered to pay for it because it was so economical. I highly recommend this venue..... Reviewed on 08-12-2011
Elizabeth Quintanilla(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2011 I know I made the right decision in having my wedding at the Stillwell House. Not only was it the most picturesque backdrop for such a romantic day, but they executed my vision (almost) perfectly! The almost is for two very minor details, our dessert wasnât completely set out, one was never brought out. And during cocktail hour, the wrong musicians played. Thatâs just a bit of coordinator mishaps. But other than that the dĂŠcor was amazing, the table settings were absolutely pristine, they were accommodating with time and I was able to get a completely personalized wedding that was intimate, fun, and a dream come true. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect spot for an intimate and romantic wedding. Reviewed on 07-11-2011

Kara Hoppe(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2011 From the moment my new husband and I walked into the Stillwell House, I knew in my heart that this was the place I would see my dream wedding become a reality. Though we did not have a large wedding guest list, the location was absolutely perfect for our 60 guests. The staff of the Stillwell House surpassed my expectations and handled every detail with the utmost of care. Their assistance in planning my wedding was also a great help as this was my first and only wedding so there were certain details I had not even considered. During the ceremony and reception, every staff member we came in contact with was ever so polite and courteous. All of our guests could not say enough great things about how beautiful the wedding was and what a great location the Stillwell House was. If it weren't for the wonderful staff at the Stillwell House, I don't believe I would have received my dream wedding. Reviewed on 09-06-2011
jessica Hanson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2011 I originally wanted to get married at a vineyard in California, but that would limit people going to my wedding. The Stillwell House was perfect. It had all aspects of a vineyard. They were very professional and reasonably priced. I thought my wedding was gonna be very simple, but they just made everything look beautiful!What I especially liked is that they had wine service for dinner which I thought was excellent. Everything went smoothly that day. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the venue. Reviewed on 22-05-2011
Leah Rogers(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-04-2011 I had a wonderful wedding here. It was beautiful great flowers and perfect setting. The help was iffy though. Wilma was excellent. She tended to me the whole time and I felt like she was an extension of me and what I wanted during the wedding. Candace on the other hand seemed to only get in the way and cause problems. So i advise anyone who goes here to definitely choose it but request candace has no part in it. Reviewed on 08-05-2011
Rachel Wallach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2010 Stillwell House offered a unique place for a wedding reception. Unlike the ordinary \"boxed-up\" conference room at various hotels, this space is very historical, comfortable, romantic, and has a very nice flow to it. The space has 3 different places for guests to celebrate- for those who wants a quiet area to talk, the courtyard was perfect and romantic; for those who wants to dance, the cantina offers a very nice dance floor with a bar; and the historic main house offers a very sophisticated space for dinner. One other HUGE advantage of choosing this place is the fact that you can bring your own alcohol! Yes, that's right, you can bring your own alcohol and they'll provide the bartending services. It was amazing.. you can save so much money by bringing your own beer, wine, and maybe margarita! The food was also really good. Everyone at our wedding can't say enough good things about this place. It was just the most perfect place for your wedding reception; Tucson style. Reviewed on 22-01-2011

They took my vision and helped me plan the \"BIG DAY\" in a couple days!! Day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was set up!

brittany douglas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2010 I love Stillwell house. My best friend's sister got married here, and I knew we had to come back for a tour as soon as we got engaged. We loved it and the wedding went perfectly. The price was good. The food was excellent. We did a lot of DIY, but Stillwell was able to work with us on the decorations to make sure everything was set up as it was supposed to. The location is beautiful. And at the end of the night, everything was packed up for us, ready to go by the front door - we didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you Stillwell! Reviewed on 17-11-2010
Trish Winter-Hunt(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2010 I loved, loved, loved this location! It was cozy but elegant. We had an afternoon/evening wedding all set on the patio. Everyone that attended had nothing but rave reviews about the location. We received a great package deal as well. The food was great, service was wonderful and it all went off without a hitch. \rThe on-site coordinator could be a little high-strung and make your head spin, but she made sure it all came together seamlessly. Definitely recommend this location if you are on a budget or not. Reviewed on 27-10-2010
Shasta Lantz(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2010 I must admit. I fell in love with the place when I went for my tour. I had to have my wedding there. The staircase in the house was just breathtaking, and if you're having an outdoor wedding, coming in through the gates really makes an impression. In the end I had an awesome wedding, BUT I think my wedding coordinator that day was in a bad mood or something. She was very snobby!!! And, the bartender had the U of A vs Iowa game on the entire time we were in the cantina, so NO ONE wanted to dance or participate in the game. I couldn't believe it. If I had to do it over, I would choose them, but I would have made them remove their tv before the wedding. Reviewed on 07-10-2010
