Guest Travel Tips

Pack for the Desert

Arizona sun is intense. Remind guests to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and stay hydrated—especially for outdoor ceremonies.

Cooler Evenings

Desert temperatures drop significantly after sunset. Suggest guests bring a light jacket or wrap for evening receptions.

Time Zone

Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time. During summer, we’re on Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight).

Arrive Early

Our venue is a destination. Encourage guests to arrive a day early to rest, explore Tucson, and be refreshed for your celebration.
