A Desert Ranch Wedding, Just Outside Tucson

A short drive from Tucson, Cocoraque Ranch offers an escape from the ordinary. Trade city views for sweeping desert landscapes, where golden hour ceremonies and a beautifully equipped Pavilion reception create a seamless, unforgettable experience. We handle the rustic elegance; you focus on the celebration.

The Cocoraque Difference: More Than a Tucson Venue

Why choose a ranch when Tucson has so many options? Because your wedding should be an experience, not just an event.

  • A True Desert Backdrop: Unlike manicured golf courses, our untouched desert landscape offers authentic, stunning vistas and unparalleled photo opportunities you simply can’t get in the city.

  • The Perfectly Balanced Day: An open-air ceremony with mountain views, followed by a reception in our covered and climate-controlled Pavilion. The best of both worlds.

  • Vendor Freedom: We believe you should have the freedom to create your perfect day. Bring your favorite Tucson caterer, florist, and other vendors—we provide a preferred list, but no required vendors.

  • Dedicated Getting-Ready Suites: Start your day in comfort with our private, air-conditioned suites for the bride and groom’s parties, complete with full-length mirrors and ample space.

Travel & Logistics: An Easy Journey from Tucson

We make the trip simple for you and your guests.
