Everywhere else, a wedding is a block of hours on someone's calendar. Here it is a stay. You have all 25 private acres to yourselves, twenty-five of your people sleep on the property, and you arrive early and leave when you are ready. There is plenty of room for tents and RVs if your group runs larger. No other group, no turnover crew waiting in the wings, no eleven o'clock checkout the morning after.

We are at 5,300 feet in the Sky Islands with Coronado National Forest on every side, so the quiet is real. There is a commercial kitchen, which is unusual at this size and means you can bring your own caterer or cook together instead.

The land was a children's church camp for fifty years, and we kept the original pews. You can say your vows on them under the oaks, up on the hill looking out over the land, or inside the screened pavilion. Three very different settings, all on the same 25 acres.
