We held our wedding at Bates Mansion a few weeks ago and are still getting compliments on the venue! The mansion is a beautiful indoor/outdoor space, with gothic vibes throughout the mansion and a gorgeous outside patio. Working with the owners and planner was a dream - they were so thoughtful and patient and were eager to help any way they could. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue in downtown Tucson, look no further and book with Bates!
