Laura H. Married on 07/10/2021Amazing and Gorgeous Venue
I loved having my wedding at the 1880 Union Hotel. It's so beautiful and the team there is amazing. They have a day-of coordinator who comes with every package - we worked with Jessica (from Tricia Dahlgren events) - and she was so on top of things! She answered all of my questions leading up to the day and helped bring my dream wedding to life. Everything ran so smoothly with her in charge. The team at the 1880 is also so great. Krysta, Josh, and Jordan really know what they're doing and can make anything you want happen pretty much. The food is SO GOOD. For real, the food is not your average wedding venue food, it's so fresh and delicious. And the venue itself is gorgeous. Everyone was telling us after that is was the best wedding they've been to. You get to stay on the property (up to 20 people) and it was so nice to stay there the day before the wedding so everything didn't feel so super rushed. I can't recommend this venue enough. You won't regret booking with them!! I want to go back for an anniversary trip haha! And the town of Los Alamos is so much fun. Cute wine tasting rooms and some great restaurants. Such a great location! Seriously, just book with the 1880 and you'll be in great hands!-

Erika A. Married on 01/23/2021Just booked this venue!
This place is amazing. It’s not cheap, but for what you get, it’s an amazing value. The venue is unbelievably gorgeous, with lots of fun details, and options for customization. Also, the surrounding neighborhoods is so cute — your guests will love it. The staff is really kind and helpful, and it’s a relief to know they do weddings every weekend (and that’s all they do!) so you’re in good hands, with people who know the space. I can’t imagine finding a place I loved more.

If you are looking for a unique and historic venue to have your wedding, there isn't a better spot than the Union. The possibilities for photos are endless, with a wide variety of indoor and outdoor locations. I feel like I could shoot there many, many times before running out of great new places to take portraits. The staff was friendly, and there was cool water in the lobby to keep us hydrated during the warm day of photographing.
