Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town Reviews

Hotel Albuquerque was an amazing venue!!! We had our ceremony in their outdoor pavilion and our reception at Casa Ecencia (also at the hotel). Both were beautiful. The staff was wonderful and took care of everything! The food was soooooo good. I highly recommend Casa Ecencia as a wedding venue. It is a great alternative to the boring hotel ballroom but has all the convenience of having a hotel take care of everything for you. It is a large “house” with lots of beautiful rooms for guess to congregate and mingle. We had food and bar stations set up throughout, so no one had to wait in line for either. I did not have to hardly decorate it at all. All my guests were wowed by it and thought it was one of the best weddings they had been to because of unique venue. The staff was VERY helpful and responsive and met all of our requests. I am so grateful to them for all they did to make our special day unforgettable!

My daughters' wedding was amazing. Lindsay was there every step of the way and everything went smoothly. I should mention I only had two weeks to find a venue and plan the wedding; my new son-in-law is in the military and received orders to relocate. Off I went, found Hotel Albuquerque, the cutest little chapel, and Lindsay. Thank you so much!

Hotel Albuquerque was the perfect location for Our wedding .
We started planning in 2019 after I fell in love with the chapel at the hotel, it is beautiful and it was just what I wanted for our wedding in March of 2020. Everything was going to plan and then the pandemic started and our wedding was canceled 2 weeks before it was supposed to happen and I was devastated but there was nothing anyone could do .
Hotel staff was amazing since day 1 they were constantly updating us and we rescheduled our wedding for a year later. We started working with Beth who is the corporate director of catering who filled in as our coordinator for the day and she was absolutely amazing She went above and beyond and answered every single question we had. We let her know we wanted something more intimate and not as structured as a normal before covid wedding and she was helpful in getting it set up the way we wanted. Adrian the hotel manager was also phenomenal! He made sure we were comfortable in our room when we arrived and we truly could not ask for more. Days before the wedding we noticed hotel staff getting everything ready for our ceremony, they were cleaning the grounds and getting the fountain ready. We were their first wedding in a year. Everyone was so excited for us. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was extraordinary. I was stressing out before ceremony and forgot to eat and they ran up to my room with snacks. Then it was time for they ceremony and my anxiety was taking over Beth told me not to stress and that everything was okay. She was right everything went as planned. Finally we get to our reception we picked the Fireplace Room, which is a smaller enclosed room off of the Garden Pavilion with french windows, hardwood floors, vega ceilings, and the fireplace. We selected this room because we were having a very small gathering due to current restrictions in place due to covid but it was still amazing and wouldn’t have it any other way. Wait staff was also amazing with all of our guest, they accommodated us in every possible way. We would not change a thing, and would give Hotel Albuquerque the highest of recommendations they truly went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Beth and Adrian and everyone involved with making our wedding day unforgettable.

Our ceremony was under the pavilion and was certainly magical and the perfect backdrop for photos. We did have a rocky start as we have met 3 different event coordinators since we started looking into Hotel ABQ for our ceremony. Carin was amazing, quick to respond and always remembered us. When she left, I appreciated an email from her letting us know she was leaving and someone else would contact us. Insert Lindsay, who reached out by email to introduce herself and always responded quickly to our emails. We were able to meet in person with Lindsay and felt comfortable with her taking over. Needless to say, Lindsay had it all under control and directed us as needed. We had no issues, things ran smoothly and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Loved it!

Hotel Albuquerque was a great venue for our wedding ceremony. The outdoor pavilion is beautiful, especially in the spring and summer when all of the greenery is blooming. The backdrop for the bride and groom is also beautiful, and our pictures came out wonderful! The staff was also very helpful throughout the wedding. Lindsay became the coordinator midway through our planning, and she was great in helping plan all the details we needed. During the rehearsal, she was very helpful in organizing everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. On our wedding day, Lindsay and Brittany both were very helpful in ensuring everything went smoothly as well. They set up our decor, and, even though the day was unexpectedly windy, they were helpful in ensuring there were no problems. They tied down certain decor to keep it from blowing and, when the wind blew one of the unity sand glasses off of the table, they were quick to clean it up. We appreciated their help throughout the process, and the venue was beautiful and we were thankful to have our wedding there!

We had our ceremony at the chapel on site at Hotel Albuquerque and our reception in the Franciscan Ballroom. Both spaces are beautiful. The staff we worked with are very professional and the whole service was very streamlined with how many events they do. I think it's a really great venue for the price, particularly if you're planning an indoor wedding in Albuquerque. The catering was also provided by Hotel Albuquerque (and required as part of using the venue). The food was done well, and there was plenty of food. The only real negative of the catering is lack of good vegetarian options for the plated meals. We were only provided a single option for a vegetarian meal.

The event coordinator, Beth, is amazing and made things easy and stress free! She has an eye for beauty and detail and helped make our day exactly how I imagined.

After reserving a spot in Summer 2017, my wife and I held our wedding reception in June 2018 at the Hotel Albuquerque. Honestly, it was phenomenal in every way and exceeded our expectations. Specifically, Carin the event coordinator, who joined the Hotel Albuquerque midway through our planning process was phenomenal. She really went above and beyond, and helped us to tailor the reception to what we had in mind, while having a real eye for providing guidance when we needed. The days before the wedding she really helped to simplify the process and take as much off our plate as possible, including coordinating the entire setup process. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was phenomenal. From the hostesses to the bartenders and wait staff, our guests were treated phenomenally, and the food was absolutely fantastic. Despite all of this, we were easily able to come in under our wedding budget. We would not change a thing, and would give Hotel Albuquerque (as well as Carin) the highest of recommendations.

When initially booking with hotel abq it was roughly 2 years from my wedding date. We fell in love with the chapel on grounds. Throughout the course of the 2 years the hotel changed wedding coordinators 4 times. The Last coordinator, Chelsea really made this review 5 stars! She is attentive, personable and truly prioritizes her clients. She understood the frustrations I had having Been through multiple coordinators and having to explain our wedding vision over and over again. She connected with us on a personal level and made our day perfect. The day of the wedding she was wonderful. She checked in to ensure everything was perfect!

Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town gave us the wedding of our dreams! Everything came together with minimal stress throughout the whole process. Beth, the wedding coordinator was absolutely fantastic! The food was wonderful! Hotel Albuquerque is also very familiar with vendors around Albuquerque. Everything available at the hotel was so convenient for our whole wedding weekend! If we had to choose all over again we would definitely go with Hotel Albuquerque again!

I picked Hotel Albuquerque because of it's central location and it's all-in-one service. I loved that the ceremony and reception were all there and that my guests (about 75% out of towners) were able to easily walk down from their rooms for the festivities.

When I booked the venue I worked with Liz, who was easy to communicate with and very nice. About a month before the wedding Liz moved into a new job and was replaced by Beth. At first I was a little freaked out with it being so close to the wedding, but Beth was great!!! She was able to pick up right where Liz left off.

Overall I am very happy with Hotel Albuquerque as a whole. The rooms were nice, the chapel was perfect and the reception was everything I wanted and more! Also, the food was so tasty! I totally recommend them!

Liz and the entire staff of Hotel Albuquerque did an AMAZING job!!! The whole process up until the day of went soo smoothly and that was thanks to Liz! She really knows what she is doing and works to make sure that everything is set up the way you want! Our reception room turned out perfect!!! We had one of the ballrooms that has the option of the new LED lighting that changes colors, and it was TOTALLY worth it!! It made the reception even prettier having the changing of the lights. Everything was setup the way we talked about and the whole night went great! Not a single problem and again, the entire staff did a wonderful job! Another thing I have to rave about was the food!! We received so many compliments on the food we had! A lot of guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding. You really cannot go wrong having your wedding at Hotel Albuquerque! It is such a beautiful hotel and it is perfect if you are having out of town guests as it is right by Old Town! Highly recommend it!!!

Liz and her staff did everything to make sure our big day went off without a hitch! They really made sure to have everything just as we asked and even kept a to do list specifically for us so we never missed a tasting or an appointment.
The chapel is absolutely beautiful and our entire guest list with no problems. There was also a huge room for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in. There was a floor to ceiling mirror for getting ready as well as numerous other mirrors. It fit the entire wedding party and both sets of parents.
The reception was just perfect. The room showed off the southwestern heritage of the region but was still elegant. Everything was just as we had asked for it to be, from the table set up to the centerpieces (that the hotel actually provides!).
The menu cannot to be topped. The food was delicious and all came out piping hot. On top of that, Liz and her staff made sure that my husband and I were served absolutely first so we could eat before having to make the rounds.
Everything that had the opportunity to go wrong was completely covered by the hotel staff so there would be no errors. I couldn't thank them enough when the whole night was over!

We used Hotel Albuquerque for our reception space only since the ceremony was in a church. Half way through the planning process my planner was switched to Liz and she was wonderful to work with. The first planner I worked with, Kelcy, was wonderful as well. The majority of the time we corresponded via email and both were very prompt in their responses. I felt like I sent so many questions but they were always courteous and kind. I also worked with the room sales team for the room block and they were equally as great.
I met Liz face to face for the first time when we had the final meeting for all of the details and I left that meeting so happy! Liz is a perfect fit for her job! She is so on top of things and she has such a wonderful demeanor. I had a number of items that I brought in myself, and she took everything in with my instructions and her and the staff set up everything perfectly. The ballroom looked wonderful! She even set up addition lighting in the ballroom just to make the linens in the room 'pop'!
The food was just as good as the tasting! We received so many complements, especially for the steak and enchiladas - they were a hit!
All in all, I'm so happy we chose Hotel Albuquerque for our reception space! The entire team went above and beyond to make the event special for my husband and I!

Hotel Albuquerque was wonderful to work with. The Chapel is absolutely beautiful and needs very little in way of decorations due to the overall structure design. Our wedding was very small (only 36 people, including me and my husband), so we had our reception in the Fireplace Room, which was a smaller enclosed room off of the Garden Pavilion with french windows, hardwood floors, vega ceilings, and of course, the fireplace. The chairs that the hotel offer are very comfortable but lack a great look to them, and I simply did not see the point in doing chair covers, so I opted to use the illusion of color and lighting and went with black overlays and lavender napkins (black and lavender being our wedding colors). The black overlays distracted the eyes from the chairs and the lavender napkins created an array of colorful "pop" at the table, combined with the color-changing centerpieces that I created and the wedding favors. Once the sun went down, the entire room looked spectacular and was like being in our own little private capsule of romance. I LOVED IT!! Best surprise of all was the ice sculpture that comes with our package! This was TRULY BREATHTAKING!!! And the food was AWESOME!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue for a bride who wants an all-in-one package and doesn't want to mess with the ceremony in one location and reception elsewhere. The entire staff was 100% professional and our honeymoon suite far exceeded my expectations from our initial tour when we were looking a year prior (much larger and had a great view).

To the wedding planner staff at Hotel Albuquerque,
Boris and I have been busy with married life, moving, etc. but we both wanted to send you and your team a special Thank You for the outstanding job your entire staff did for the Evans Venet reception soirée.

All the workers, waiters, and helpers did an outstanding job going above and beyond our expectations on the service and attention to detail.

Please forward our deep appreciation to Beth, Chris, and all the others involved in making April 28th such a perfect evening. Our guests (professionals who’ve attended many soirées) were enchanted and very impressed. I won’t hesitate to recommend Hotel Albuquerque and the wedding planners and staff for any important event, big or small.

Most sincerely,
Susan Evans Venet and Boris. ❤️👍🏼

Beautiful place to get married

Liz and the team at Hotel Albuquerque were wonderful to work with! It was very professional and clear from the beginning, and our reception was wonderful. People mentioned they liked the food as well. Hotel Albuquerque really helped create a beautiful celebration for us. The only downside was that we happened to get married on a very busy Holiday weekend, so it sometimes felt like a wedding factory. Everything else, however, was perfect.

After searching many of the outdoor options for a wedding venue, we decided on Hotel Albuquerque because it was the best choice when we considered organization and planning (day of), style, and value for our money. Hotel Albuquerque was the only venue where we could have an outdoor ceremony, indoor reception, and a day of coordinator. The staff at Hotel Abq made everything flawless the day of our wedding and took care of all of the details that anyone else in the wedding party could not be in charge of on such an important day. Everyone who was at our wedding said it was the best wedding they had been to, and most of that is credited to the staff at the venue. Great food, excellent service. Definitely a top venue choice in ABQ.

I wanted to have the ceremony and reception in the same location to make it easier on our guests and this did the trick! The hotel was able to block out rooms at a discounted rate which helped for the holiday weekend. Our ceremony was in the chapel and everything went smoothly. The transition from ceremony to cocktails to dinner was seamless and everyone found their way easily. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The wedding coordinator was so organized and had great recommendations for other vendors as well. I would recommend the hotel to anyone!

I loved the location!! Everything was perfect.

Liz Robinson, who is the coordinator there is so wonderdful! She always responded quickly and answered every question that I had in a positive helpful manner. The outside venue is so beautiful, I can't wait to walk down the isle!
The price list is only for ceremony use.

Hotel Albuquerque was our selection for our reception venue for our wedding on September 10th, 2016. Meeting in person with Beth was amazing she was very accommodating. The only downfall was the follow through on the payments and also emails with any questions we had. Our wedding day was perfect and everything was set up as we had planned. One of the best decisions we made!

quite good!!

We fell in love with the site, the elegence, the warm atmosphere, it was everything we were looking for. Excellent food, beautiful venue, we couldn't go wrong.

The night of the wedding everything from the linens and china to the meal was spot on. The event captain anticipated our every move and made sure they were taken care of. All of our guests were very impressed with the dinner choices and quality of food. Everything was beautiful and better than we could have ever imagined!!!
