Blame Her Ranch was a magical, beautiful, fun place for our wedding! It was everything we dreamed of and more. The entire property perfectly accommodated our guests for the weekend and had tons of places for people to hangout and enjoy their time. We spent lots of good family time in the barn every day for meals, dancing, and games. Randy the Ranch Manager was incredible! He was always available when we needed help or had questions, was always so kind, definitely a hard worker, and was easily recognized as an important piece of making the ranch such a special place! The cold sparks from Randy’s rentals made our first dance unforgettable. We don’t know how the weekend could’ve been any more perfect. BHR will always be an important place in our hearts and memories!

Blame Her Ranch is nothing short of spectacular and the process of working with Randy was seamless and fun. Randy was responsive to all requests and always wore a genuine smile (he also gives the best hugs and has an infectious laugh). My husband and I were a bit worried it might be hard for some guests to find, but we didn’t hear a single complaint from anyone driving from Santa Fe. In fact, so many of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the ranch and told us it was the most stunning wedding location they had been to. I wish we could get married there every year!

We held our wedding at BHR in May of 2023, and we could not have asked for more out of the ranch. We booked the ranch in January of 2022, and the staff at the ranch worked with us through the entire process to make sure our event went perfectly. Randy the Ranch Hand deserves a particular shout out – he was incredibly responsive and informative throughout the entire planning process and helped us plan the details of our wedding and reception beyond what we expected. He was instrumental for us in getting everything prepared for our stay at the ranch, and was available seemingly 24/7 while we were at the ranch, answering questions, helping us prepare for our events, telling us how to get the most out of the ranch, and helping us steer the whole thing. Truly could not have done it without him and his team.

The ranch itself is also an absolute dream. The landscape and views speak for themselves, but I’d highly encourage anyone considering booking the venue to make the trip to see it in person. We were on the fence before doing so, but after touring the property with Randy, there was really no question. The house has every amenity you could think of and more, with Randy available to show you how to use them. There was so much space and things to do that our guests that varied from age 3 to 70 all had things to do during our entire 5 day stay. We wondered if a 5 day stay would get boring by the end, and we were so wrong. We could have had 5 more days and still wanted more time to enjoy the pool, hot tub, sauna, movie theater, fire pit, etc. The ranch can be chilly even in the summer, so make sure your guests come prepared!

The ranch has many different spaces to utilize for a perfect wedding weekend. We used the barn for our rehearsal dinner, and it was a great space for hosting a slightly smaller group. It could fit 100 people comfortably with room for tables and space to walk around and socialize. The ceremony space is absolutely beautiful. The views from this space are incredible and all the details in this space make for beautiful photos. We used the lawn for our reception and it was amazing. Plenty of space for a 9 piece band and all of our 180 guests! People were able to go in the house to warm up when they needed to or they could go outside and dance poolside on Randy’s gorgeous dance floor.

We could go on and on about BHR, it was the most amazing place to get married, and we constantly found ourselves just staring around in awe of the ranch and the surrounding views. You won’t regret booking a stay at BHR.

When we first saw the ranch we fell in love with it!! We knew right away we wanted to get married there. Our wedding was beautiful! Randy was amazing to work with. He helped with all our questions and throughout the whole process. Even on our wedding day! I would recommend Blame Her Ranch for a vacation getaway, wedding or whatever kind of celebration you are celebrating.

Had the most amazing experience ever staying here at this Ranch. Everything from the scenery to the decorating to just that house itself was breathtaking. There is so many things for you to do on the ranch you’ll never have a dull moment. Randy personally made my wedding so special and so perfect and exceeded my wildest dreams. Thank you so much blame her Ranch for having us we will definitely be back. Any event or party or gathering you would ever want to throw do it here!!!

The venue is known as the best that New Mexico has to offer. That’s not just me talking, from the guests to the vendors everyone said that this place was the best. Our wedding party stayed with us and had an experience unlike any other. Our stay at the ranch was made incredibly relaxing and care free with the help of Randy the ranch hand. Randy coordinated everything from our various vendors and guests and even helped with last minute hiccups. We used every bit of the venue that we could. This venue has a heated pool, cauldron hot tub, sauna, numerous outdoor living areas with fireplace, fireplace in living room, dog run for the fur babies, massive kitchen and dining area, fully snack stocked movie theater with reclining seats and one full body massage chair, billiard table, arcade games. These were just some of the amazing amenities that we took full advantage of. My wife and I can’t wait to go back maybe for a Christmas or summer family reunion.

There are not enough good things that I can say about this venue and Randy The Ranch Hand. The photos do not do this venue justice. Touring the venue in person is an out of this world experience. The ranch itself has the most beautiful southwest architecture and is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Each room has a theme and has plenty of activities for everyone. It is a desert oasis dream home. As incredible as the ranch itself was… the grounds were just as phenomenal if not better.

They were very well kept and clean. The ceremony area gives you the feel that you are floating above a canyon. The reception area was also amazing on the lawn in front of the pool. Our guests were absolutely in awe at this hidden gem in the southwest.

We also utilized the barn for our groomsdinner which was equally as beautiful. They did an excellent job creating a lovely ambiance for any part of the ranch, whether that is inside or outside.

Randy The Ranch Hand was incredible. Extremely professional, punctual with returning our calls and emails, organized, very knowledgeable, and one of the friendliest people we have ever met! This was a destination wedding for us and Randy did an exceptional job coordinating with us. He truly made our experience stress free and was always readily available to help or answer any questions we had. We also utilized Randy for the rentals he offered. We chose to rent the dance floor, audio for the ceremony (we couldn’t see any equipment anywhere and guests could hear every word perfectly), and the magic mirror from him.

Our family and guests flew in from all over the US, many of whom had never been to New Mexico and they left memorized by the Land of Enchantment wanting to book their own trips back!

We will definitely be returning for our anniversaries to come and utilizing the ranch for family reunions. We loved it so much!

We would HIGHLY recommend this venue. The Blamers and Randy have put a lot of thought and work into this magnificent venue to make it an unforgettable experience. Our guests feedback was nothing but positive saying that our wedding was at one the most unique and beautiful places they have ever been!

Randy has been so helpful with our wedding planning. He was flexible with our schedule. Randy has been available to help in any way! The venue is beautiful! Everything we need is on the grounds.

We have our wedding planned for next year at Blame Her Ranch. So far it has been really easy and great working with Steve and Linda. They are very responsive, kind, and down to earth. It has made the planning phase very easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this special spot.

Steve and Linda have been absolutely amazing!! They have been so helpful when I have questions about how things can work and about where I can go to get good deals with vendors! Randy has been a huge help as well! He has kept in contact with me and answered all of my crazy questions! BEST venue for a wedding!!! There is nothing else like it! Your guests will love it!

I can not emphasize how amazing our wedding was at this venue! Randy (day of coordinator) made everything run PERFECTLY and it was absolutely gorgeous being there in mid-September. We spent the weekend at the ranch with our wedding party and it was really nice and relaxing being able to have the time to set up, hang out, and enjoy the pool/hot tub/skeet shooting/movie theater/golf “driving range”. It felt like we were truly at home when we arrived, and there was so much space for our guests that stayed at the ranch for the weekend (24) to sleep comfortably. Randy set up gorgeous lights, tables and the dance floor in the lawn area the day before the wedding so it wasn’t rushed with vendors arriving which was great. Speaking of vendors– Randy got all of the contact information from them and did great with coordinating arrival times so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. During the planning process the communication was top-notch, and the owners/Randy were very open to us visiting the ranch whenever we requested to help with our “wedding vision” and planning out the setup that we wanted. If you choose to book this venue be prepared that it’s about an hour outside of Santa Fe, but it is 100% worth it in terms of the beauty and customization of the wedding day. I would say this is a venue perfect for a couple that is ready to do a lot of planning to make a day “your own” if you don’t get a planner. We booked shuttles for transportation for our guests (Road Runner Shuttle–top notch) from Santa Fe (Blocked a hotel at Santa Fe Sage Inn– affordable for guests and great location), got a food truck/buffet vendor for a more casual dinner service (Palate Food Truck, Real Burger Catering– both amazing), port-a potties, hired bartenders, ordered kegs from Tractor Brewing/got Costco wine, got our DJ (complete weddings), had live music from the Gershom Brothers, and decided to do our own flowers from whole sale. (PS–special shout out to Dham Khalsa photography– don’t get me started on how perfect they made the whole process, seriously) That being said, I am really happy we chose to do that rather than being constrained by the typical wedding venues with “price per person” and a set menu for food/beverages. We had about 180 guests and the venue comfortably held them (capacity 250). We did a pre-wedding cocktail hour in the barn by the ceremony space as the guests arrived in shuttles and then had our rehearsal in the lawn area/house. The natural beauty of the ranch allowed for us to have to do minimal decorating (basic table settings and decorated the ceremony arch with greenery/flowers) and it was flawless. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests talking about how it was the most beautiful wedding venue they’ve ever seen (I know, everybody says that, haha), and how a few of our engaged couple-friends want to “steal” it and use it for their own wedding. If we could re-do our wedding day (I wish), I would choose Blame Her Ranch over, and over, and over again. You guys made the best day of our life so special, thank you so much.
