Casas de Suenos Old Town Historic Inn & Reception Hall

ickly. The bridal group and guests were able to rent out the cute casitas to stay the night. It was so nice just to wake up, get ready and walk to the garden for the ceremony. The ceremony took place in the garden, it was so beautiful and perfect. All the little details at this pace made it much more special. We used their reception hall for the reception which worked out perfectly.. LeAnn let us go in the day before to decorate (know it depends if there is an event the day before). Thank goodness we did not have to clean up at the end of the night, Overall it was such a great experience for our wedding, we loved and enjoyed every minute of it.

excellence in service the venue was gorgeous. we were married in the garden area and had our reception in the hall, which has a stellar layout. Perfect private area away from main entrance doors for the gift table. They also provide SO much to the vendors to assist with their work as well. Wonderful, affordable venue!

. LeeAnn and her staff are extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. We (and multiple guests) stayed at Casas de Suenos as well, the rooms are so unique and quaint. The breakfast is delicious and made to order. Thank you LeeAnn!!!

ly helpful for our June wedding. It was so great that a lot of our family and friends were able to stay with us at the venue as well. BUT-let me tell you the best part- LeeAnn. LeeAnn is the wedding coordinator for the venue, and let me tell you, that woman is a ROCKSTAR. My wedding day was perfect from start to finish in part because of her. She made sure everything ran smoothly, made sure I had a drink in my hand after pictures and made my dream wedding come true. If you're on the fence about some other venue, I hope this will help you choose Casas de Suenos, because aside from the beautiful garden, LeeAnn is a treasure and amazing at her job. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!

ore. We opted to do the ceremony and reception outside in the gardens, which is beautiful with all of the twinkle lights. We happened to have a freak rain storm during the wedding, and LeeAnn and staff were fantastic. They had large plastic sheets to cover the tables and chairs with, and when it rained during the ceremony, they changed out all of the linens and wiped down all of the chairs during cocktail hour so that everything was neat and dry for dinner. With all of the unexpected rain, one of our guest's rooms had a leak in the ceiling, and LeeAnn and staff absolutely bent over backwards to fix the situation, even offering to put my guests up at another hotel because the rest of the rooms on site were booked. Our guests decided to stay on site anyways to be close to the action, and felt super taken care of. The customer service the entire weekend was superb. Being a super Type A bride, and an event planner professionally, there were a few times in the planning process where it was a little tough to get in touch with LeeAnn, but I shouldn't have worried -- she was more on top of our details than I was! We also live in Las Cruces and were not familiar with vendors in Albuquerque. LeeAnn provided a list of suggested vendors for us and we went with several of her options. We felt like Casas de Suenos was a great fit for us -- both for our budget and for the style of wedding we were looking for. The only downside (which exists with many ABQ venues) was a hard stop at 10:00 pm due to noise ordinances. We were initially worried about the wedding feeling too short, but to be honest, especially with the rain, the timing was perfect and we felt like there was plenty of time to celebrate.

directed our rehearsal, which was instrumental in making the day of the best ever, and were present and attentive on the day of the wedding. After speaking with our other vendors, they were very pleased with how well LeeAnn communicated with them and it made my day worry and stress free. We also felt the value of what was included was unbeatable. We stayed in the secret garden casita the night of the wedding and loved it. The hot tub in the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast the next morning was DELICIOUS. We can't wait to return and recommend Casas de Suenos to our friends, family and those who read this review!

uly), and they have great options for indoor/outdoor spaces. Venue event coordinators LeeAnn and Blair were so kind and helpful - they made sure that every detail was taken care of just the way I had envisioned. Also, after researching almost all of the venues in Albuquerque, this is certainly the most affordable for what is included. I can't recommend this place enough!

f runners, set up options, etc to please anyone. We held the ceremony at ABQ Bio Park Botanic Garden, so it was just a couple blocks down. Only problem was the terrible construction on Central for the ART project. There was another way to get to the reception hall without issues, but many people were confused at first. 10/10. Totally recommend for any couple looking for a spacious reception hall!

nd the area. Casas de Suenos also has an onsite restaurant with terrific entrees. The casitas themselves are perfect for couples or groups up to four. Our wedding guests who stayed at Casas de Suenos were completely impressed by the casitas. Highly recommended! The center garden with gazebo is where we held our ceremony, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing! With approximately 120 guests, the area was both intimate while also spacious and welcoming. The smaller gardens throughout the venue (wisteria, bamboo, fountain) make for outstanding photo sites. We had our “First Look” photos taken in the wisteria area; completely stunning. LeeAnn and her staff deserve the utmost praise for their knowledge, professionalism, and true understanding of wedding planning/organization. LeeAnn was very accessible and always responded promptly to calls and emails. She has plenty of experience in planning and made very astute suggestions that kept our planning and actual ceremony flowing smoothly. LeeAnn and her staff truly embody the characteristic of “attention to detail.” Nothing went overlooked when in the hands of LeeAnn and the amazing staff of Casas de Suenos. If you’re looking for an enclosed venue, Casas does offer a celebration hall. Whatever event you happen to be planning, LeeAnn and her staff can accommodate and help bring your vision to fruition. Visit today!

t feel the need to decorate, and the reception hall was a great place for the reception. I do recommend having your drinks done through the venue because it is unlimited for your guests, coffee, tea, water and lemonade.

an issue we had with the owner that we believe other couples considering Casas de Suenos as their venue should know about. When we started our wedding planning, we wanted a particular date for sentimental reasons. When we contacted Casas de Suenos to inquire about our date, they told us that the space was available. What they did not tell us, at least not until we were at our appointment to view the space, was that there was already a wedding scheduled there for the morning of that day. The owner assured us that there would be no problem setting up and that we could rent a tent in case of rain. To make a long story short, it turned out that none of the tent companies we talked to could set up a tent during the set up time Casas made available to us, in spite of their assurances to the contrary. We ended up having to find a back-up venue in order to have a weather backup plan. Throughout the process, Casas treated us as though we were doing something wrong for wanting to be able to book a tent in case of rain. The owner did nothing to accommodate a weather backup plan for us, even prohibiting us from communicating with the earlier wedding in case of bad weather. (If it was raining all day, maybe we could have shared a tent. In that case, everyone would have won!) All we wanted was to be able to have a weather backup plan. This left us feeling like Casas cared more about booking the space to as many people as possible than making sure that their customers have a good experience and peace of mind. That said, the space is beautiful and well-maintained. Our guests loved it. Unfortunately, however, the worry about the weather backup plan in a particularly wet year caused me and my now-husband a lot of grief.

r some brides. I loved that all of the out-of-towners were staying in the rooms surrounding the courtyard where the wedding/reception took place (part of the package I chose). I refused to have a tent and of course, it rained on the day of the wedding 2 hours before the ceremony after everything had been set out. Casas de Suenos owners/workers came to the rescue and fixed everything immediately, doing whatever it took to make it right. The owner is also the wedding organizer and she is wonderful- she knew I was a control freak and made me realize that it was ok to let her handle everything. The only downside is that it had to end at 10pm.
