Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel

There is not enough good things I can say about Santa Ana’s team!! If the ceremony space doesn’t sell you enough with the great view then the team absolutely will. My partner and I were absolutely blown away with the amount of detail and care Jarren, Sheryl and team took in executing our perfect day! They take care of everything which helped us truly enjoy every bit of our day. We are so absolutely thankful for the whole process and team. They have a well oiled machine and it shows!! Also like another reviewer said all the staff at Santa Ana are so nice and congratulated us several times from check in to check out

I had an absolutely spectacular wedding at Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel. My husband and I can’t imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married here! Jarren made all of the planning meetings really fun and he was really easy to work with. He and his team really made the wedding of my dreams come true. Cedar Greens is a beautiful ceremony location with a lovely view of the Sandias. The first time we toured, it was really windy, raining, and hailing. Despite this, I could still see the beauty of the space and how nice, flexible, and easy to work with Jarren is. I am so happy we chose Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel to have our wedding! Everything was amazing, from the decorations, to the food, which was no easy feat with all of my food allergies. They were able to accommodate a multitude of food allergies and made me a delicious dairy free, gluten free, pepper free, nut free meal. Since so many of my guests were also dairy and gluten free, they were also able to make the entire buffet gluten and dairy free. The food was so good, I had guests without dietary restrictions come up to me and tell me it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. I am really thankful to Jarren, Sheryl, the chef, and their entire team for making it such an incredible wedding!

From the beginning, it was a great pleasure working with Jarren. He was organized, responsive, and had great recommendations. Our wedding was beautiful and it was a stress free day, thanks to the hard work of Jarren, Sheryl, and the rest of the team at Santa Ana. They worked closely with our photographer/coordinator and everything went really well. The decorations were beautiful and we were able to get amazing photos with the mountains in the background. During the reception, the event coordinators (title?) were great at communicating with us and took care of packing up all of our gifts, remembrance photos, yard games, and other belongings. We really did not have to worry about a thing. On top of that, all the staff at Santa Ana were very nice and congratulatory. It made us feel welcomed around every corner. It was a perfect day 🥰

Santa Ana did the most amazing gorgeous dream wedding!!!! The staff was wonderful, we worked with Jarren was who worked with us and we can't say enough of how amazing he was especially cause we planned our wedding all via phone calls and video calls from 2,000 miles away and he got every color and design exactly how we envisioned it. Definitely worth every cent we spend!!!!!

We had a great time. The service was top notch, everything was well organized and on time. We couldn’t have asked for more. The team members were excellent.

Santa Ana Casino truly acted as a one-stop shop and never nickel-and-dimed us. Jarren, our wedding planner, was fantastic—he provided a clear quote during our visit, and the pricing included everything we needed. They even offered extra services at no additional cost, such as a photo backdrop, cake cutting, and bar service. It was a relief having them handle the small details so we could focus on enjoying our day and feel less stressed during the planning process. They also had a great selection of colors and décor for napkins, centerpieces, flowers, the arch, the sweetheart table, and the backdrop.

We booked the presidential suite for the night before the wedding, and the night of was included. Having the suite early made it much easier to bring in our things ahead of time. The bride and bridal party also used the room to get ready, and it comfortably fit nine people along with the hair and makeup artist and photographer. The natural light in the room was perfect for photos. The night-before stay wasn’t included, but it was discounted, which we really appreciated.

We received many compliments on the food, and we personally enjoyed our buffet with sliced beef tenderloin and enchiladas. (We had previously attended another event at Santa Ana where the chicken and steak with chimichurri were a bit dry, but our wedding dinner was excellent.)

Our ceremony and reception were both indoors, but the staff shuttled us outside afterward to take photos in their beautiful outdoor area. The decorations exceeded our expectations and looked even nicer than what we felt we had paid for. The reception space accommodated our 85 guests comfortably, and the dance floor was quite large—almost bigger than we needed, but still great to have.

Overall, we were extremely happy with our decision to choose Santa Ana Casino. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, the staff was incredible, and we felt we received outstanding value for what we paid. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free experience with exceptional service. Such a classy beautiful venue!

Our Experience at Santa Ana Casino was incredible! From the start, Jarren and the entire team made everything so easy and stress-free. They handled setup, takedown, and every detail with professionalism and kindness, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The value of what we received was unbeatable - everything was included, from catering to coordination, and food was amazing. They worked within our budget while still delivering first-class service. Every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel special, and our guest couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team!

This venu is absolute gold! We worked with Jarren and he is an absolute gem! Everything from beginning to end was so easy and their packages are such great value! Leading up to the day they helped us make decisions and make sure everything was in order to make for a beautiful day. Not to mention the food was amazing. Day of was sooo smooth and stress free. They made sure everything was beautiful and super flexible if things came up. I cannot thank Jarren and his team enough. They love what they do and it really shows! I will recommend this place to any future couple.

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel was the perfect venue for our beautiful wedding reception. From the time we met our events planner to the end of our stay, every detail was wonderful. There was dedicated staff who treated us like royalty as the happy married couple and the rest of the staff treated the rest of the guests like family. Let's talk about food! wow! The three options we had were delicious and our friends and family were very impressed and still talk about the delicious food. We didn't stop at the buffet dinner; we also treated our guests with a late-night snack that once again fed a hungry crowd and wow'd our taste buds. Staff were completely attentive to our needs and we had an amazing evening celebration. But it didn't end there, once we arrived to our honeymoon suite, we were showered with many surprises and a beautiful and restful room. The only issue that we encountered was a certain person at the reservation desk was not very friendly to our friends and family trying to make reservations under our block. They were rude and disrespectful to some of our family but once we reported this to our events manager, she took care of it quickly. I went on to also book events with my company business and have been equally proud to have it at Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel.

We absolutely loved holding our wedding reception at the Santa Ana. The venue is well equipped with so many things that you can really customize their space really well. Also, they include so much in their packages that you can add and customize without adding more to the total cost. Lastly, working with everyone, especially Heather, was such a delight. Heather is incredibly talented at what the does. She is responsive, kind, patient, and highly organized. We absolutely recommend this venue.
