About This Vendor

Lodging, 4 Different Venues--Destination Wedding

COVID-19 UPDATE Blame Her Ranch (along with many other venues) has been postponing weddings and events. Most 2020 weddings have moved to 2021 and of course, all those wanting a 2021 wedding are now competing for availability both here and at other venues. So in order to help those reaching out to us, we are providing the following for a short period of time: -A virtual and complete tour of the ranch on our website until state guidelines allow personal, one on one tours. https://blameherranch.com/tour-the-ranch/ -10% off our standard published rates if you book within 30 days of your inquiry. -An extra 20% off for 2021 stays. -A small deposit of only 10% (normally we require 50%) for anyone willing to lock in their dates and go to contract within 30 days of inquiring. -Personal, over the phone concierge services, where we can help you save thousands of dollars on your catering, music, dance floor, and other wedding costs from other suppliers we work with. But, you need to move quickly so you can secure your date as well as receive these discounts and preferred booking offers. Additionally, with over 1620 acres, BHR has many world-class locations for breathtaking photographs. But you’ll need to use our extra, free 4 hour photo day so you and your photographer have the extra time to get to our special locations in order to capture images you’ll enjoy for years. Alternatively, you can use this for your engagement photos! BHR is much more than just a wedding venue and unlike our competitors, you have full access to some of the best sunsets and filming sites in NM, for free. -------------------------------------------------- Blame Her Ranch is 50 minutes outside of beautiful Santa Fe, NM, owned by Steve and Linda Blamer (hence the name). It isn't a hotel or bed and breakfast. It's a private ranch that's exclusively yours when you rent it. BHR allows you to plan your wedding your way. No cut-off times, pick the caterer you wish, handle bar service the way want without paying extra in resort fees and gratuity while also having an on-site manager to help with preferred vendors and coordination. The ranch sleeps up to 24 people. You have 4 different venues to host everything from the ceremony to rehearsal dinner. We also include log tables and benches for 250 guests plus 4 bars and 8 cocktail tables. Take our virtual tour or come see for yourself why Blame Her Ranch is New Mexico's premier venue.

If you’re looking to spend your big day in the most incredible location, look no further. Blame Her Ranch was a dream wedding venue. It is absolutely gorgeous and was so easy to work with. Randy was attentive and patient throughout the entire p...
lanning process and never took more than a day to respond to any of my emails. For the wedding itself, he went above and beyond my every expectation to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. He even glued the arm back on our wedding cake topper when it fell off! I promise that you won’t find a better wedding venue in New Mexico. We received so many compliments from guests and being able to stay at the same place we were holding our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception made all the difference. Everyone was incredibly impressed and my husband and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. I highly recommend this venue to any bride!

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 i...
t 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.

Wanting the most amazing event for your family, friends and life?! Choose the Blame Her Ranch! My husband and I knew this was the place for us as soon as we met Randy and saw it online. It was used to film LONGMIRE!!! Seriously it is AMAZING!...
!! It is a laid back kind of place that hands over the keys to you for the days you rent it which is amazing! Randy is there to help in every way possible without hovering. We had 75 guests total and 23 family members that stayed in the ranch with us. There was room for everyone to hang out and enjoy the weekend. The feel was a weekend family vacation that we just happened to be getting married at, which was exactly what we wanted. The barn for the reception was beautiful and really didn't require any decorations. We rented in December and Randy asked if we wanted Christmas decorations to be set up, which we said YES, and it made the place feel even more "homey". The ceremony site on the edge of the mesa was gorgeous and I wouldn't have changed anything about our weekend. Randy even helped us find a special spot off the ranch for our photographer to do the "first look shot" at sunrise. I can't say enough good things about that place. The price seems a little high at first glance but once you see what all comes with it and how many days you get, you can't beat the math compared to other venues. BHR does not nickle and dime you for extra costs, the price you see is the price you pay.

lace to yourselves! There was no need to rush off to our honeymoon, it felt like we were on vacation already. Our dinner was so outstanding because everything flowed into place. At night we danced away under the brightest stars you will ever see. Getting married at the beautiful Blame Her Ranch is what made our wedding the best wedding we have ever gone to; we are definitely looking forward to our next visit.

Meet the Team

meet the owner
Steve and Linda Blamer
Owner
Steve and Linda have owned the ranch for 12+ years. After their daughter's wedding in June 2017, everybody kept asking the Blamer's to rent the ranch. With the help of Randy the Ranch Hand, the Blamer's started that year with one rule: no rules. The Blamers are NOT in the Wedding Business, they are in the rent the ranch business. They want to leave it up to couples to decide how they want to do their wedding and not the other way around. At BHR you will get one price, with no ups and extras, and total transparency (something missing at most NM venues). This should be a fun time for couples.
