“And so together, they built a life they loved”

-a random quote off the internet

The Historic Bates Mansion is a vintage wedding venue situated in Tucson, Arizona. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Jerry and Vanessa Holland, this enchanting property provides celebrations of all shapes and sizes with a rustic hacienda-inspired backdrop. They redesigned and reimaged the space and brought a rustic hacienda look with an old pueblo feel. The mansion was once occupied by businessman C.T.R Bates and was the meeting place for the prestigious local institution, the Mountain Oyster Club. It has been fully renovated for a feeling of both comfort and convenience and features inviting event spaces, invaluable amenities, an in-house caterer, and more.

The Historic Bates is available for Weddings, Quinceañera’s, Bar & Bat Mitzvah, anniversaries, holiday & business parties, receptions & so much more.

Yes, we feel its haunted. No you cannot stay overnight and “ghost hunt”. Yes you CAN schedule a tour and let us host your next event! Who knows, maybe if you’re lucky, Mrs. Bates might visit you and your guest at your event, or shut a couple lights off.
