Tucson Convention Center
Expansive Offerings for an Unforgettable Day

The Tucson Convention Center offers well-appointed ballrooms and entertaining spaces that can be modified to accommodate even the largest wedding parties in Tucson.

Event planning is a specialty here, where on any given day of the year, the staff is managing lighting, audio-visual needs, setup and catering for some of the area’s most exciting functions.

A wedding reception at the Tucson Convention Center offers a great deal of flexibility. The ballrooms at the venue can seat from 30 to 1,000 people for a banquet A number of configurations are available, making it a wonderful place to experiment with a variety of décor options. Seeking a reception that is equal parts festive dining and dancing, with a cocktail lounge in a separate area? The Tucson Convention Center is the place to make these dreams a reality.

While each ballroom -- Copper, Crystal, or Turquoise -- can be reserved individually, they can be combined to form an immense 20,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom. The technical team at the Convention Center offers the skills and equipment to effortlessly present a couple’s courtship videos, showcasing their lives leading to the wedding day.

The softer side of this reception site lies in the expansive catering menu, which truly offers something for everyone. Imagine butler-passed smoked salmon-stuffed bouche, chipotle pepper tartlets or spinach and goat cheese flatbreads that will wow your guests. Buffets, plated meals, and “action stations” are available, as well as carving stations. How about a fish taco station, pasta station and quesadilla station to offer something for everyone? Delicious. The diversity of the menu choices will satisfy the most demanding couples. An optional “sustainable menu” features organic and locally produced selections such as grilled petite buffalo tenderloin, smoked free-range chicken with three-cheese polenta, local organic fruit and berries and rainforest alliance certified coffee.

An added bonus is the Convention Center’s proximity to the gorgeous, historic St. Augustine Cathedral.
