la mariposa,
The Starlight room
“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”
- nobel LAuREATE RABINDRANATh TAGORE

Truer words were never spoken as a couple prepares for their wedding day, which is a series of cherished moments that are designed to endure forever.

At the aptly named La Mariposa (the butterfly), those moments unfold for the bride and groom in a lovely environment, surrounded by Tucson’s wonders, designed by nature and man.

La Mariposa has been hosting weddings for the past twenty years In that time, the property has grown to encompass 100 peaceful acres, featuring mature shade trees, lush lawns, a sparkling pond that overlooks a grove—encircled by the Catalina and Rincon Mountains.

Situated in a grove of mesquite and cottonwood trees, the three-acre lawn and gazebo are the most romantic setting for an outdoor ceremony. The adjacent pond, which is home to ducks and the occasional egret, offers the gentle reflection and soft sound of water. Add to the serene surroundings experienced event planners and a creative culinary team, and you have a recipe for an unforgettable wedding.

Many couples who choose La Mariposa for their weddings exchange vows in the beautiful gazebo, and then enjoy a singular reception experience in The Starlight Room.

The recently renovated Starlight Room includes a spectacular star-shaped skylight, sophisticated star-themed décor and views from every angle of the property’s lush landscape The reception tables are arranged around the dance floor for a romantic effect, particularly when the bride and groom enjoy their first dance www.lamariposaresort.com.
