-Our Guests Top 16 Reasons-

Santa Fe’s Premier Ranch Wedding & Event Venue

Discover why Blame Her Ranch (BHR) is one of the best wedding venues in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. From exclusive use of the ranch to flexible catering and luxury lodging, BHR provides everything you need to create unforgettable weddings, family reunions, and corporate events.

  1. Exclusive Ranch Experience: At BHR, you and your guests are the only people on the property. No sharing, no distractions, no strangers—just total focus on you and your celebration.
  2. Flexibility for Your Dream Event: Our philosophy is simple: we do what the couple wants. While there are always a few limitations, our goal is to accommodate every request. From custom décor to unique entertainment, you’ll find freedom here that traditional Santa Fe venues can’t match.
  3. No Cut-Off Times: With our on-site lodging option, you and your guests can party until 4 a.m. (or later). Guests can come and go as they please, without restrictions or rigid timelines.
  4. Unlimited Catering Options: Unlike most wedding venues in Santa Fe that limit catering choices, BHR gives you the freedom to choose:

    – Food trucks
    – 5-star fine dining
    – Family-style potlucks
    – Local favorites or home cooking

    Enjoy food that makes you and your guests happy—without hotel restrictions, overpriced menus, or hidden service fees.

  5. Bar Service on Your Budget: We provide handcrafted wooden wine barrel cocktail tables and rustic wooden bars at no charge. Stock the bars with your preferred beer, wine, and spirits to save thousands by avoiding resort-style alcohol pricing and excessive taxes and fees.
  6. All-in-One Venue & Lodging: Host your wedding, family reunion, or corporate retreat in one central location. With accommodations for up to 66 overnight guests and 250 day guests, BHR makes logistics simple.
  7. Transparent Pricing: Skip the hidden charges that come with Santa Fe hotels and resorts. At BHR, you’ll know the exact cost upfront—no surprise bills at the end.
  8. Multiple Venue Options: Beyond the Main Lodge, you’ll enjoy three distinct event spaces for BBQs, welcome dinners, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, and wedding banquets.
  9. Easy Set-Up & Planning: Most venues only allow access on the event day. At BHR, you can pre-set your site, deliver items in advance, and store them safely for a stress-free weekend.
