The Buttes at Reflections

The Buttes at Reflections is a wedding venue on Oracle Road in north Tucson, Arizona, close to Oro Valley. It sits at the foot of the Pusch Ridge Mountains, with gardens, a fountain and a wooden pergola for the ceremony and an indoor hall for up to 230 guests. Packages bring catering, staff and planning together, so most of the work is done in one place.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Each package gives you six hours of exclusive use, with an in-house planner, servers, coordinators and setup handled by the venue. That means one team looking after the day from start to finish, and fewer suppliers for you to manage. GLW likes the online planning portal and payment plans, which make the process easier to keep on top of.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies are held outdoors in landscaped gardens at the base of the mountains, beside a fountain and under a wooden pergola. White garden chairs are set out for guests. The venue runs a guided rehearsal before the day, so the wedding party knows the timings and where to stand. The mountains make a strong backdrop for photos as the light changes in the late afternoon.

Receptions and food

The reception hall holds up to 230 guests, with large windows looking out to the gardens and mountains. Catering and DJ services are part of the packages, and the venue sets each table with chargers, china and silverware. Servers and coordinators look after guests through the evening, and setup and clearing away are included. Linens, centerpieces, signs and cake displays can be chosen from the venue's own stock.

Getting there and the area

The venue is at 9800 N Oracle Road, on the northern edge of Tucson. Oro Valley and Catalina State Park are just to the north, and central Tucson is about 20 minutes south. Tucson International Airport is roughly 30 minutes away by car. Hotels along Oracle Road and in Oro Valley give guests somewhere to stay nearby.
