Dream Wedding

We had the best experience with The Event Center. Lauren and Ashley were awesome and were always there when we needed them and answered all questions. They made sure everything was good to go and set up perfectly so we didn't have to stress about anything the day of the wedding. The service from the staff on our wedding night was phenomenal. My guest raved about the food and how beautiful the place was. Definitely 10 out of 10!!

Fairy Tale Wedding

Thanks to Lauren and Ashley, it was a fairy tale wedding. They made planning a wedding fun and relaxing. Everything was absolutely perfect and the food was over the top. Most of our 200 guest were from out of state and they were blown away by the gorgeous setting, the food, and the service. Janie Rowe

Stunning grounds

There was no doubt in my mind that Sandia resort was going to be beautiful for our wedding. But the staff went above and beyond and our wedding was even more stunning than I expected- the staff did a fantastic job decorating, our pictures came out wonderful because the weather was amazing, Randy was so patient with me even when i was an overly concerned bride, and made sure i was comfortable. I really appreciated that i was able to slide into my dress in the bridal suite because we asked for early check in. That was a game changer and i am forever grateful for it. The food was phenomenal, we got the ribeye, Mediterranean chicken and quinoua stuffed peppers, and couldn’t have been happier. The service staff was flexible and ready to ho with dinner even an hour earlier than we expected which shifted everything up but noone noticed since the staff did an amazing job. Thank you to everyone at Sandia!

We are very glad that we chose the Event Center at Sandia Golf Club for our wedding reception. Lauren and her staff including Helen were fantastic to work with, even as we planned everything from another state! The venue is gorgeous with its mountain views and has the fun patio with rolling windows that allows for both indoor and outdoor activities. We went with the La Casa menu with some customizations for our dinner, and everyone thought the food was delicious. We had a beautiful reception at the Event Center and would definitely recommend it! Lauren and Helen, thanks for doing a great job!

Our entire wedding experience was so easy and stress free because of the excellent staff at Sandia. Stephanie, the wedding coordinator, is truly the BEST. Their responsiveness and ability to calm our nerves was above any expectation. The venue is incomparable with views and beauty. Our food was delicious and the staff was excellent. I hope we can use Sandia again in the future for another party!!!

Ana and the team at Sandia Casino & Resort are fantastic! Ana discussed every detail with us with patience and understanding. Planning a wedding can be daunting but Ana always made everything better.

The views of the Sandia Mountains are amazing. We had looked at A LOT of other places in Albuquerque and didn't find another venue that came close to the view they have.

The team made us feel like family and were there to support us throughout the whole process. Never having planned a wedding before I had a lot of questions and Ana was there to answer every one and took the time to make sure we were happy. We live out of state but we were still able to work remotely with Ana on all the details. She was quick to respond to emails and my calls. I don't know how she does it and always with a positive attitude.

I would highly recommend Sandia Casino & Resort for your big day. Go and visit and ask for Ana Torres, you'll see what I mean. :)

The Team at this venue did an awesome job. Their services definitely allowed us (bride and groom) to relax the day of the wedding because everything was in such good hands. The scenery was beautiful and our ceremony and reception set up was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't change anything about this venue. We loved it!

We had our wedding reception at the Event Center at Sandia Golf Club on 11/11/17. We were blown away by the customer service from the very beginning. Lauren was very responsive to all of our questions before the event, kept us informed of any changes, and was accommodating to all of our last minute additions. Everything was set up perfectly when we arrived. We loved having the entire space including the ballroom and the outdoor patio, especially since the venue has such gorgeous views of the Sandias and the golf course. The food was excellent! The Comfort menu and mashpotini bar were a huge hit with our guests. Our guests had great things to say about the bar service as well. During the event, the catering manager and staff took excellent care of us and our guests. Overall, Lauren and her team were amazing and a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend the Event Center at the Sandia Golf Club for wedding receptions.

We loved this venue! Took such great care of us from start to finish. At the wedding me and my new husband had our own waiter for our table and he was great! Valerie did a great job of running the show and making sure everything started on time! Thank you for everything!
