Solana is not just a wedding venue — it’s an event destination. Set on 11 private acres first founded as a guest ranch in 1948 in Tucson’s lush Tanque Verde Valley, the historic Solana Guest Ranch blends Spanish-style charm with rustic ranch elegance. We offer our event space for weddings and receptions or a buy-out option giving you and your guests exclusive private access to a multi-day, immersive experience filled with natural beauty, thoughtful amenities, and warm hospitality.
We can host wedding celebrations for up to 150 guests. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a grand affair, our flexible indoor and outdoor spaces adapt beautifully to your vision.
Solana Guest Ranch can customize a multi-day destination wedding or single day ceremony and reception package to fit your budget.

Our site fee includes venue use and event support for a single event lasting up to 6 hours. We can plan and add additional events for extended stay events. Our venue site fee does not include food, beverages, or premium add-on services. Onsite lodging at Solana Villas is priced separately.
