About this venue

The Big Tin Cotton Gin is a historic wedding venue situated in Queen Creek, Arizona. Dating back to the 1950's, this former cotton gin is now one of Pinal County’s most distinctive wedding venues. Characterized by its classic-meets-contemporary vibe, the property is replete with vintage decor that pays homage to its manufacturing past. Mother and Son owners Julie and Kevin Ballentyne have been inviting soon-to-be newlyweds to make it official at this one-of-a-kind facility since 2019. Renovated and romantic, the Big Tin Cotton Gin can provide the perfect backdrop for your entire occasion.

    I loved the professionalism of both of my coordinators Julie and Kristen. I had a couple problem family members and they were not afraid to make sure my wedding went the way I wants. They are super easy to work with and very responsive. They both made my night so memorable and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to make my day perfect!
