Beautiful Day

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!

Absolutely wonderful!!

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.

Cutest chapel...EVER!

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!

Beautiful venue!

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!

The perfect ceremony

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!

A solid choice for an indoor wedding

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.

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!
