Sanctuary Cove

Sanctuary Cove is a desert preserve and event space in the Tucson foothills, situated on private property adjacent to Saguaro National Park West at 8001 North Scenic Drive. Managed by the All Creeds Brotherhood, a religious nonprofit, the property has offered spaces for prayer, meditation, and community gatherings in the Sonoran Desert since 1955. Open to the public 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset, the grounds feature a non-denominational stone chapel, an open-air amphitheater, a meditative labyrinth, and a 1.8-kilometer loop trail. For private events, Sanctuary Cove offers three ceremony and gathering spaces: the hand-built stone Chapel accommodates up to 25 guests for intimate weddings and memorials, the Outdoor Amphitheater hosts larger ceremonies of up to 100 guests, and the renovated adobe brick Guest Cottage accommodates up to 20 for small receptions and day-of preparation. Wedding permits are available for elopements through large celebrations of up to 180 guests, and the venue also hosts memorial services, photography sessions, and workshop gatherings.
