My Tucson Wedding

Jordana and Richard were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 31st. 2010 at 5:00 PM by pastor David Hallstrom. It was a beautiful Tucson evening with weather for their ceremony close to 70 degrees.  The groom and groomsman wore cowboy hats, and the bridesmaids wore red dresses.

Brady and Carla were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 30th. 2010, at 4:30 pm.  Their four children were both ring bearers and flower girls and Brady’s dad, Brian Kelly performed the ceremony.

Chocolate linens and pink napkins make a nice combination for a table design. At Saguaro Buttes you can choose from over 50 different table linen colors as part of the Gold and Concierge packages. You also have the option to upgrade to satin linens or crinkled linens. The possibilities are endless with literally hundreds of combinations you can choose from. You also have the choice of four different color charger plates, Gold, Silver, Blue, or Red. This allow each bride and groom to have their own unique  design.

Something new that we are offering at Saguaro Buttes at a minimal charge is “up lighting”. “Up lighting” consists of LED lights placed around the room, against the wall, that add color and atmosphere to the reception room at night. You have the choice of a variety of colors and as you can see in this photo, the lights on “pink”, positioned behind the head table.

Adding a little humor to the wedding reception, can be fun. Christopher Wagner got a surprise after the wedding ceremony when he walked in to see a large sock monkey sitting at his table. It was a gift from his father and I am sure it was an inside joke. Be careful not to go overboard though, a little humor done right is good, but going too far can be embarrassing.

We would like to thank all those who came out to the “I Do In Tucson” Bridal Show at the Hilton East on Sunday, January 24, 2010.  We had a wonderful turn out, with close to 200 brides and grooms showing up. Cindy and Danyele were there at the Saguaro Buttes’ booth answering questions and scheduling tours. It was a joy to see everyone, and also all those Brides and Grooms that had already booked their date. Thanks again.

Arizona had a fierce winter storm over the last couple of days (January 21,22), but today the sun came out and it was just a beautiful to see all the snow on the Catalina Mountains. This picture was taken from the ceremony site at Saguaro Buttes.  

Despite gale force winds and heavy rains and snow the day before Josh and Maura had beautiful weather for their wedding on January 23, 2010 at Saguaro Buttes. The Sun was out, snow was on the mountain, the temperatures were a little chilly in the low 50’s, but it turned out to be a wonderful evening.  Josh and Maura met in July of 2008 on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, as they worked together in the 355 AMXS Squadron.

Saguaro Buttes has been selected as a top wedding location in Tucson according to “The Knot” Best of Weddings 2010. This is a survey conducted by “The Knot” of thousands of brides. We feel honored to have been selected as one of the top wedding sites in Tucson.

As we continue to upgrade and improve Saguaro Buttes we recently acquired enough new white Chiavari Chairs to accommodate most wedding parties.  You now have the option to use either silver or white chiavari chairs for your receptions with either ivory or black chair pads. You also now have four choices of charger plates, gold, silver, red, and blue.  All of these options are included in our packages at no extra charge.

Just recently we added a number of lights of different color and also rope lights to the cascading waterfall at Saguaro Buttes. You will not notice these lights until after sunset, but when they do come on, they add elegance and atmosphere to your wedding reception. We continue to improve and upgrade Saguaro Buttes on a weekly basis.

This beautiful marble topped carved table along with the elegant full sized mirror was recently added to the lobby at Saguaro Buttes. It makes the perfect gift table for your guests as they arrive. Actually there are two of these tables in the lobby and they make a gorgeous set.

All of us at Saguaro Buttes want to thank those who stopped by to say hi at our Bridal Expo booth at the TCC (Tucson Convention Center) today.  We had a wonderful time, and look forward to seeing you again. If you have anymore questions please feel free to call 647-0994.

A new feature at every Saguaro Buttes wedding is a coffee station. It is provided by Rivers Edge Catering and is open as soon as the cocktail hour starts. It includes both regular and decaf coffee with all the amenities. Having recently installed a new commercial coffee brewer the coffee is almost right up there with Starbucks.

This photo was taken at the wedding of Amy Dashiell and Sean Lastuka. Since the groom loves pies they decided to have wedding pies with the wedding cake. They had both apple and cherry pies.

Sean and Amy were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 16th at 4:00 PM. by Pastor David Hallstrom. It was a beautiful evening with partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 70 degrees. Sean and Amy met while at college in Seattle, Washington where they currently live.  Amy grew up in Tucson and they had family and friends from Canada  Washington, California,, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Texas in attendance at the wedding.

One recent upgrade that you will not notice on a tour at Saguaro Buttes but you will discover when the evening comes and the dancing begins at your wedding, are our new LED lights. They are amazing, so much more colorful and changeable than what we previously had, which were the older PAR Can Lights. These new LED lights are controlled by a computer program and can do some awesome lighting effects at the press of a button on the dance floor. As we continue to upgrade Saguaro Buttes we will keep you updated.

Here is the table design of a recent wedding at Saguaro Buttes. Table runners can add a lot of style and elegance to your table setting. Black is always classic, and silver chairs with black pads add to the general appeal. The center piece accents the table, with mirrors and votive candles. The silver charger plates coordinate the colors. Saguaro Buttes offers as a part of our standard package, the choice of over 50 different color linens, which gives you plenty of choices to choose from.

The skies came aglow above the Rincon Mountains this January 9th at Saguaro Buttes. We have had an amazing January so far with so many wonderful sunsets and fantastically balmy weather. With the rest of the country in sub zero weather and snow flying we are fortunate to be able to enjoy living in the great state of Arizona.

Ryan & Kathryn were married at Saguaro Buttes by Pastor David Hallstrom on January 9th, 2010. The ceremony time was 4:00 PM and it was a beautiful sunny afternoon with 71 degree temperatures. It was an intimate wedding with about 40 wedding guests, family and friends from California, North Dakota, Colorado, and Road Island.

Over the last six months we have been working on upgrading the front porch, putting in the railing, adding rope lights, planting some nice vegetation with a drip system.  It has come a long way and is a wonderful place for taking pictures and watching the Sunset. It is relaxing to sit listening to the water fountain, and watching the colorful sunsets. We have more plans, to include flagstone, and new tables and chairs, music sound system and other upgrades.  It is a place to enjoy.

January can be one of the most beautiful months to have a wedding in Tucson.  The weather can be very mild, with temperatures in the low 70’s, as it was in the wedding with Becca and Ken on January 7th. pictured here, with this picture taken around 4:45 PM with the sun setting and the clouds casting shadows on the the Rincon mountains. For your guests coming from out of town, especially from the colder climates, it provides a wonderful break from the winter weather.

Our commitment at Saguaro Buttes is to continue to improve and upgrade our location and become the most beautiful site we can become. We have just completed installing flagstone for the entire ceremony site at Saguaro Buttes, including the walk way going to the ceremony site. We also raised the actual ceremony site 12-18 inches, and it has a whole new look and feel.   It really looks beautiful.  As we continue to make improvements at Saguaro Buttes we will keep you posted.

Becca & Ken were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 7th, 2010 by Pastor Ben Pitney.  It was a beautiful day, with temperatures around 70 degrees and a gorgeous Sunset. They also elected for covenant marriage, which is offered in the State of Arizona.
