    Please get married here!

    My husband and I had our Welcome Dinner here and it was an absolute dream. We did the large clear tent out on the lawn by the restaurant and it was perfection. Seriously felt like a fairy tale and all of the guests loved it. We had a seated dinner for 120 guests and it was executed with perfection. They had plenty of staff and they were all so professional and timely on the food, not to mention it was delicious! I work at a venue in the Houston area so I was very particular about A LOT and Amanda was so helpful and kind the whole way through. She was patient with my MANY MANY e-mails and requests and was always so supportive of my ideas and vision. She was nothing but helpful and accommodating and offered great suggestions and options. She has a super calming personality and is very likable and easy to work with. She is such a hard worker and will walk with you through the process to make your vision come to life. Whether you are having a welcome dinner, rehearsal dinner, wedding, private dinner, engagement, birthday, etc. this place is perfect and beautiful in every way and you will absolutely love working with Amanda!!

    Amanda and La Posada were great in helping to ensure our wedding reception went smoothly. Amanda was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and provided great tidbits about how to keep the costs within budget. The day itself was almost flawless-- La Posada was a wonderful venue, as there is a lot of space for guests to congregate both inside and outside. Amanda was willing to set up our decorations better than I would have done it myself. When there was a small moment of miscommunication during the event, Amanda jumped on it immediately to resolve the situation without our guests noticing. Our bridal suite was wonderful and Amanda made sure it was stocked with champagne and snacks for the weekend. All of the food at the event was delicious and worth the price. La Posada was also so accommodating to our out of town guests and it was also so nice to have our out of town guests be able to stay at the venue. Overall, La Posada was a wonderful spot for a reception and we highly recommend it!

    La Posada de Santa Fe was the perfect wedding venue, one walk through the venue will have you falling in love with the property. I call the hotel “my happy place,” as it offers serenity, comfort and the Santa Fe flair. The intimacy of the event space was perfect for our celebration; the ballroom, foyer, canyon room and terrace gave room for our guests to spread out and have an intimate social engagement. The property is so disperse guests can all be at the same hotel without feeling on top of one another. The Baca Suite was the perfect space for the Bridal Suite and to host a Goodbye Breakfast the day after the wedding. The catering at La Posada is absolutely delicious, we had raving reviews from our guests that our meal was the best wedding meal they had ever had. The food was outstanding and far surpassed our expectations! All that being said, David Stone, the Director of Events and Catering is the real selling point to La Posada de Santa Fe. David is hands down the best to work with on wedding coordination. No task was too large or detail too small for David, he worked with me in every capacity and was very accommodating to every request. He was full of great suggestions and solved any problem that was presented. David became so near and dear to my Husband and I through the whole process, he will always hold a special place in our hearts for making our wedding day so magical.

    I would 100% highly recommend this venue for any wedding. David, head of events is a joy to work with and we could count on him for anything. He understood our style and made the perfect suggestions for our special day. It felt like he ran the entire hotel because everyone respected, trusted and listened to him (which comes in handy if anything goes wrong). Regarding the hotel, I would recommend getting a trial with the spa before counting on them to do hair/makeup. I would also triple check room reservations - we had a few room reservation hiccups and some "special requests" were not held for our guests. We loved the bartenders, food, buffet breakfast for guests, decorations (all the vendors know each other well), and basically every part of our wedding. Here is our list of FAVORITE vendors who rocked our wedding day!!

    La Posada Venue Contact: David Stone - you need him. I can't say this enough
    Rehearsal Dinner Venue contact: Lacunagalleries - walking distance & BEAUTIFUL
    Rehearsal Dinner Food: Vicki Markley - everyone LOVED the brisket
    Rehearsal Dinner Entertainment Cowboy Singer: Rod Taylor - very authentic singer
    Florist: Marisa Peluso - she has an incredible eye and really listens to your taste
    Dessert: Irene Barba - you can count on her for the yummiest desserts in town
    String Quartet: Carol Hawkins - her music made my husband tear up, enough said
    Photographer: David and Bonnie Williams - GET THEM FROM TEXAS. David stole the show. Best photographer & personality
    Videographer: John Arnold - he only does a few weddings a year but make sure to book him. His videos are a true work of art
    Band: Colette and Rick / midnightsunco@aol.com - this band is on the East Coast but worth your entire wedding budget
    DJ: John Edwards - awesome guy. He actually kept our timeline in check and went above and beyond on the day
    Hair: Ana Claudia Doria Da Silva - She is not with La Posada but get a trial with her and you'll love it!
    Makeup: La Posada's - Get Audrey

    La Posada was a beautiful venue, and our wedding was perfect because of it. David Stone, the catering and events director/wedding coordinator, was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process, especially so since I was such an indecisive bride. His suggestions for timing, decor, and menu were great, and he was very accommodating with our requests. The suite in which my bridesmaids and I spent the night before the wedding was gorgeous and perfect for us, and the way the staff added little touches for my husband and I the night of the wedding was just so sweet. Did I mention the food? It was absolutely delicious! I'm still dreaming about it, and guests were raving about it. I'm still being told they're craving this or that. All this being said, it's a bit on the pricey side, but for the attentiveness from David and the quality, it's totally worth it. My wedding went perfectly thanks to David and La Posada, and my husband and I got a fantastic start in our life together and will have beautiful memories for the rest of our lives thanks to them.

    La Posada is a beautiful and magical place to have a wedding ceremony and reception. The staff there were excellent and very professional. The event coordinator David Stone made everything so easy and stress free. I would highly recommend La Posada to anyone looking to have an elegant Santa Fe wedding.

    Choosing to have our ceremony and reception at La Posada made the entire engagement and planning process a delight. The wedding planner, David Stone, is unmatched and will go above and beyond on every detail. Not only that, he makes the entire process fun. The day of the wedding was very low stress for me as I had 100% confidence everything was being taken care of.

    Multiple guests commented on how excellent the food was. The service was so prompt and professional and the quality was really impressive.

    I cannot recommend La Posada and David Stone enough!

    La Posada de Santa fe is a beautiful location for a wedding and the staff is wonderful, especially David Stone. His attention to detail is outstanding. For instance, he brought blankets to all the ladies during dinner because we had an unexpected cool evening.

    I had my wedding reception at la fonda de santa fe. i absolutely loved David Stone. His level of excitement towards every detail is something that i wanted in a venue. Because I was planning my wedding from out of state, I needed to have our reception at a hotel so food and beverages, etc. would all be done as a service of the hotel.... With that said, I really didn't want the feel of a typical ol' ballroom. The room at La Posada has a warm and cozy feel to it, I didn't have to do much for decor, it opens up to a beautiful lawn area which we had decorated in lights. It was amazing. I can't say enough about David. He made sure my family was comfortable and having a good time. The only downside was that our room blocks were on the high side so nobody stayed at the hotel. We tried to negotiate them down but it wasn't happening... As far as the reception goes, I loved every second of it. Although a bit pricey, it was worth every penny to have David and everything go off without a hitch!

    Our wedding at La Posada was absolutely beautiful and Amanda Gesten worked very hard to make our day perfect! We had a little difficulty getting in touch at times, but our interactions were always very professional and cheerful. Once we figured out the best mode of communication for everybody (which turned out to be via text), everything went perfectly smoothly. We would absolutely recommend La Posada as a great wedding venue! :-D

    I can't say enough good things about La Posada. It's on the pricey side, but they worked with us to do something within our budget. They also didn't have a minimum - the only place in Santa Fe that we could find that didn't - which helped us tremendously since we had a small wedding. David is absolutely wonderful. I have no hesitations whatsoever about recommending La Posada. If you can afford it, it's absolutely a dream.

    La Posada is a great wedding venue for the destination wedding. My husband and I chose Santa Fe because the majority of my family lives in New Mexico so it would be convienent, but it is also a great vacation destination which was good for the majority of his family. David did a great job of helping us plan our wedding and helping us find good vendors to work with. He helped us plan our semi-formal budgeted wedding and we had a great experience overall. The grounds are beautiful during the summer. They made the photography well worth the money. The food was fabulous! We brought in our own cake, but I suggest asking if they will do a wedding cake since there is a cake cutting fee. We were very happy with our wedding at La Posada. We would suggest other couples take a look there for their weddings.

    I do not recommend booking this facility for your wedding too far in advance. Life happens, but if life happens to you with La Posada, you will lose your entire deposit despite time in advance and circumstances. We enjoyed the one person we worked with, but ended up moving 5 states away (couldn't turn down a fantastic job offer because of our wedding, no one in their right mind would do that). So, we lost over 1,300USD and canceled 9 months in advance. I know our wedding would have been beautiful, and everyone really was a joy, but in the end (through no fault of our consultant I'm sure), I felt like a dollar sign instead of a human. I understand the point of a deposit is to recoup costs from last minute cancellations, but I doubt they had trouble filling our Santa Fe June wedding slot. Definitely book here if you are SURE nothing is going to get in the way of your plans.

    We originally chose La Posada because of how incredible the wedding coordinator was & the grounds were incredible. Then, that person took a new position with a different company just a little over a month prior to our wedding. The grounds were still gorgeous, our outdoor ceremony went off without a hitch thanks to the incredible Tony Baca who ensured we had a wonderful experience. But, in working with the "wedding coordinator" the weeks leading up to the wedding was a nightmare. I would never recommend to work with this resort unless you are detail oriented and super dilligent in making sure your details are not overlooked. We ended up with a wonderful celebration, but the headache and lack of support from the GM with the planning phase after the departure of their coordinator was just awful. The issues with passing out welcome bags, errors on our order, issues with food and wine communication, and errors with rooms are just some of the problems we encountered as folks rotated in and out of working at LPDSF and didn't pass on notes & forgot to return phone calls and e-mails.

    Beautiful venue but not worth the headache

    The wedding itself was wonderful but I thankfully had a wedding planner putting out all the fires so I could enjoy the day. The week of the wedding I was being asked about pricing for the event and for my credit card information because nothing had been saved from the previous Event Coordinator. Almost two weeks after the wedding the finance department made an unauthorized charge - without notifying us and without or consent to use the card on file (per the contact and authorization form guidelines). I'm still dealing with these issues 3 weeks later. Lyric is the only saving grace there but she's only one person. Save yourself the money, time, and stress especially since there are so many other beautiful venues in Santa Fe. If you do choose La Posada, then prepare yourself and you will need to get yourself a wedding planner.

    My experience with LaPosada:
    -Initially, loved everything about it! We were so excited "to have a wedding coordinators services as part of our contract"
    -Wedding coordinator leaves three months or so after signing.
    -Have to try and plan with 3 temps while they find a replacement.
    -Finally they got wonderful Amanda to fill the coordinators shoes. She tried so very hard to make our day just perfect and she was so pleasant to work with.
    -Our wedding suite, that was originally promised to us by the wedding coordinator, was sold to one of our guests. We figured out a solution to the room situation.
    -Go to check in to the hotel rooms, they pulled my assigned room and gave it to some random couple.
    -They only set up one of the two bars we requested for the reception, amongst other things.
    -They were really late on getting dinner out. We had an hour and a half to do all of our special events and dance before the night was over.
    -My bridal party table never got served food. They sat there while everyone else ate, finally they had to ask someone.
    -The food was absolutely AMAZING! The steaks were cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. That was the saving grace to the food debacle. Our guests can't stop raving.
    -They cleared our tables completely before the evening was even done. Everyone was unable to save everything they wanted. Name cards, favors, thank you cards, pictures for and from the guest book, etc. were all thrown away.
    -They had two Valet people for a hotel on a Friday night and a wedding reception of 220, when the only option is Valet.
    -The honeymoon suit was never cleaned, even though requested at the beginning of the day. As newlyweds we walked into the remnants of me getting ready, and slept in dirty sheets.
    -We were credited 4 nights stay to make up for EVERYTHING.
    -All in all... if I went through all of that for just for the backdrop to my pictures, it was totally worth it in every way. Just gorgeous!!
