Big Tin Cotton Gin on West Ocotillo in San Tan Valley is exactly what the name says: a 1950s cotton gin turned into one of the most characterful wedding venues in the East Valley. The enclosed outdoor ceremony area has brick paving, string lighting and corrugated tin walls that photograph beautifully, and inside there are 5,000 square feet of flexible reception space with rustic tables, chandeliers and a built in bar. A bridal suite sits upstairs, a groom's room downstairs, and the vendor policy is open, so couples bring whoever they want. Capacity runs to 300. We have photographed a wedding here and know how that tin reads in Arizona light through a ceremony, and how much our uplighting and a dancing-on-a-cloud first dance add inside once the sun drops.
