…Our Guests Choose Us vs Other Venues
Why Blame Her Ranch?
-Our Guests Top 14 Reasons-
Beyond the ranch’s beautiful setting, outstanding facilities, almost endless activities and unmatched southwestern decor, these are the top 14 reasons why our guests select BHR vs other venues:
- Exclusivity: When you and your guests are at BHR, you are the only people at the ranch. No sharing, no distractions, no strangers, a total focus on you.
- Flexibility: We only have one goal, “We do what the bride wants.” Of course, there are always limitations, but we truly try to accommodate all requests and not have too many rules, so just ask.
- No Cut-Off Times: With the lodging option, party until 4 am in the morning (or later). Let your guests come and go as they please is our way of operating. There are no cut off times or restrictions to having more fun.
- Unlimited Catering Options: Food trucks, 5-star dining, home cooking, potlucks — whatever you want, we allow. Eat and enjoy the food that makes you and your guests happy vs being controlled by limited menu options, expensive/exclusive caterers, or bloated hotel food and beverage fees.
- Bar Service Your Way, Your Budget: We provide 8 handcrafted wooden wine barrel cocktail tables and 4 eight foot wooden bars at no charge. More importantly, you can buy whatever you want in advance to be served at those bars and in the process save thousands of dollars by not paying high priced resort or venue alcohol and refreshment prices (not to mention the tax and service fees).
- All In One Place: Weddings, Family Reunions, and Corporate Events are about people and BHR offers a great opportunity for one central location for both events and accommodations for up to 44 lodgers and 250-day guests.
- One Price, No Surprises: When you compare hotel room rates in Santa Fe and then add in venue charges, BHR is extremely attractive. You know coming to the ranch what you will be charged with no surprise bill at the end.
- Multiple Venue Options: Beyond the Main Lodge you have three additional distinct options allowing for BBQs, Welcome Dinners, Rehearsal Dinners, Ceremonies, and Wedding Banquets on different days or times.
- Easy Set-Up and Advanced Planning: Most venues limit your access to only the day of the event. At BHR you can pre-set-up the site and even have items delivered before your event weekend begins for easy storage.
- Free Wedding Decor: Free Wedding Decor: BHR includes 25 rustic tables and 50 benches for up to 250 guests along with 8 cocktail tables and 4 bar tables. We also have bistro lights adorning the 18,000 sq ft great lawn and twinkle lights in the knotty pine barn. We estimate these things to rent out at over $3,500 from a rental company, but we include them and set them up for you free of charge.
- Private Concierge: Weddings, Corporate Events, and Family Reunions take planning. Lots of planning. BHR offers free on-site concierge service both before and during your stay to make your experience flawless and hassle-free, saving you time and money.
- Uniqueness: Try, just try, to have a firework show or a skeet shooting contest at your local Santa Fe hotel, home rental, or some out of town wedding venue. It won’t happen. We offer professional service providers in both areas (plus other areas as well) that will make your event and stay extra special and memorable.
- Responsiveness: Who would have thought it would be so hard to get a venue to respond? We certainly didn’t! Answering your questions is our number one priority. It shouldn’t take several days (or several follow-ups!) to get information from your venue. And if they are this difficult to get a hold of now, what’s it going to be like if you actually book with them? BHR promises to respond to your emails within 48 hours.
- Glamping: Nowhere else will you find luxury glamping… BHR has multiple different options from a tipi, conestoga wagons, and airstream Bambi’s.
