SAVE YOURSELF TIME, MONEY, and HEARTACHE! HOTEL ALBUQUERQUE is unprofessional and greedy! They refused to uphold a legally binding contract signed between them and my son/daughter in law. They chose to host an event that would be more lucrative for them than the wedding of a native Albuquerque family. Legal documents mean NOTHING to them. Their word is worthless. It is disgraceful and despicable to do what they did to my family JUST THREE WEEKS before the wedding. They chose to double book the same ballroom for the same night—then offered my family no reasonable or appropriate alternative option. This is not a “one off”. We heard from others in the city while we were there for the wedding that they’ve done this repeatedly to other families. It is unconscionable to me how HERITAGE HOTELS act as if they are above the law!! Shame on them for treating people this way! I’m sure the President and owner of these hotels would NEVER allow this to happen to their loved ones. Disgusted doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings.
DON’T HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE! RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
Do not give Hotel Albuquerque any of your money or consideration. Two weeks before my 200 person wedding, Hotel Albuquerque’s callous and uncaring staff informed me that they had booked our ballroom for another more profitable event, seven months after we signed a legally binding contract to reserve the ballroom. They offered no reasonable recourse - falsely “offering” a room which was only intended for 150 people, cramming more guests per table than comfortable or safe. When we explained how devastated we were, the Heritage Hotels President challenged us by repeatedly saying, “sue me” - which we are navigating now, but nothing will compensate us or our families for the stress, sadness, and betrayal of Hotel Albuquerque. My most important day was ruined by selfishness and desire for profit, and the courts only offer so much for consumers against big organizations such as Heritage Hotels. Throughout the legal process, Hotel Albuquerque has refused to show good faith and continues to bully me and my family, forcing us to endure an arduous legal battle. Hotel Albuquerque continues to withhold our deposit, despite the fact that they were the ones who cancelled the event, causing severe financial and emotional strain. A beautiful time in my life became tear stained and completely sleepless, as my focus was forced away from meaningful details to a lawsuit. My only choice now is to tell our story as many times as possible to as many people as possible so that others can avoid the heartache my family suffered.
This ballroom issue was obviously a huge and unforgivable action. The ballroom is the heart of my issue with Hotel Albuquerque. I will add a few issues I had with planning as well, just in case this was unconvincing:
1) The wedding coordinator was unorganized and would not email back within 1-2 weeks (I had to follow up almost every time). At first, we were impressed by the person who was marketing the venue to us- but once the contract was signed, we were quickly passed off to a disinterested and uncaring staff member.
2) The staff were unaccommodating for small requests (my partner and I are both active duty, and hotel ABQ would not work around our deployment schedule to plan a tasting… also, my grandmother can only eat well done steak, it took a week or two for us to fight for one well done steak)
3) The food (we finally attended the tasting just a few weeks before the “wedding” that didn’t happen) was below average especially for the price
4) Overall, since I have now unfortunately had the experience of working with all levels of Hotel Albuquerque and Heritage Hotel Staff, from coordinator to President the customer service is abysmal. Double booking a venue could be rectified many ways (i.e. by offering another hotel within Heritage Hotels or offering money to move the event elsewhere - something other hotels do when this issue arises), but Hotel Albuquerque didn’t have the decency to rectify the chaos they caused. They continue to make our lives miserable.
5) Since this has happened, we have spoken with members of our ABQ community and within just a few days already heard of two similar instances of Hotel Albuquerque choosing profits over couples looking to get married.
Do yourself a favor, save yourself the heartache/headache, go literally anywhere else.
HOTEL ANQ RUINED MY WEDDING! STAY AWAY.
My fiancée and I booked a ballroom at Hotel Albuquerque for our wedding this July. Just 20 days before our big day, they evicted us from our reception room to accommodate a larger, more profitable event—a blatant breach of their own contract.
Their “solution” was laughable: they tried forcing us into a smaller room limited to 150 guests when they knew we had 200. When we expressed concern about their solution and said it wouldn’t be suitable for us, the Heritage Hotels President challenged us to sue him. Needless to say, we rejected their offer and demanded our deposit back. It’s been over three weeks now, and they still haven’t returned it, forcing us to seek legal assistance.
Hotel ABQ’s lack of respect and professionalism has been nothing short of baffling and scammy. Me and my family lost sleep, time at work, and endured financial strain to salvage our special day at an alternate location.
If you value your wedding or really any event you’re hosting, avoid Hotel Albuquerque and any Heritage Hotel properties at all costs. Their conduct toward us has been disgraceful and disrespectful. PLEASE Save yourself the nightmare we endured.
Since they didn’t have the decency to respond to my email, I will share it with all of you!
Hello, I wanted to reach out and let you know that we had our wedding at Hotel Albuquerque on the 2nd of September. I regret to inform you of our negative experience.
We had a total of four different wedding coordinators throughout the 9 months we were engaged and had decided on this venue. That means we had a different coordinator every two months. The day of the wedding during the reception and cocktail hour our coordinator was nowhere to be found; she did not pick up any calls and I had guests coming to us for answers, so instead of enjoying our time we had to spend it directing people and explaining. At the time of the cocktail hour, we were introduced to Jose Sanchez, he was the most help during this but even the supervisor at Hotel Albuquerque didn't know who he was and questioned him in front of us.
We had many meals not served and two of our children's plates with dietary restrictions were not provided. Our kid meals which were hamburgers were served raw/severely undercooked that they had to be returned resulting in our kids eating last and not with the rest of the guests. These are meals we paid our hard-earned money for, so for them to not be readily available when the rest of the meals were handed out was very disappointing.
We had guests complain that their cake slices disappeared when they went to dance for a few minutes. I am not saying the cakes needed to be left out all night, but I had family who did not even try the cake.
Our guests informed us that many plates and glasses were removed before finishing and when they questioned the waiters and waitress' they told them they had another event.
Family and friends stayed at the hotel and even that came with issues. My sister-in-law who lives in Albuquerque wanted to stay with her family in the hotel to enjoy herself at the party. They reserved room number removed , they have three young children, and the neighboring guests were having very loud sexual intercourse that prevented my family from enjoying the rest of their night.
Overall, we were disappointed in the service we received. It felt like there was more importance given to the other wedding that day, which is ultimately very sad. We were so disappointed we decided against staying for breakfast the next day. We have friends getting married next year and they have asked us for our opinion and although the venue is beautiful our experience makes it difficult to recommend.
Hotel Albuquerque went above and beyond for our wedding! They are extremely organized and know what they’re doing. We loved working with them and our coordinator, Beth, was so on top of everything. They made our wedding beautiful and I would do it a million times again.
Hotel Albuquerque,
,
Boris and I have been busy with married life, moving, etc. but we both wanted to send you and your team a special Thank You for the outstanding job your entire staff did for the Evans Venet reception soirée.
All the workers, waiters, and helpers did an outstanding job going above and beyond our expectations on the service and attention to detail.
Please forward our deep appreciation to Beth, Chris, and all the others involved in making April 28th such a perfect evening. Our guests (professionals who’ve attended many soirées) were enchanted and very impressed. I won’t hesitate to recommend Hotel Albuquerque and the wedding planners and staff for any important event, big or small.
Most sincerely,
Susan Evans Venet and Boris. ❤️👍🏼
Our biggest disappointment with Hotel Albuquerque was that our cards were stolen at some point during the wedding (as were the cards at another wedding at the hotel that night). You would think with how much you’re paying the hotel you wouldn’t have to worry about this. We’ve learned that this has happened before at this same venue, so just be aware of that when considering Hotel Albuquerque.
We also worked with three different event planners while planning our wedding here. It was as if our wedding was just being passed along from person to person, causing a lot of miscommunication. There were long gaps between email responses due to this. The food at our tasting was cold, however many people complemented the food at the actual wedding. Just thought that should be noted as well. While our wedding was beautiful, Hotel Albuquerque just didn’t live up to the hype. With the poor communication, high price and lack of professionalism, I might consider having your wedding elsewhere.
WORD OF CAUTION! - Of course you want a beautiful wedding! BUT- Hotel Albuquerque may not be the place to have it! On August 28, 2021 -The bride and groom were stunning, our decorations were beautiful, and family and friends were wonderful – BUT – thousands of dollars from the gift card box were stolen, and the hotel states that they take “no responsibility” (same for another wedding whose cards were stolen on the same day). The hotel rep. stated that “many times people think the housekeepers take things only to get home and find the items in their underwear”. Really? We will look again, but do not expect to find the cards in our underwear! Why would they state that “this has never happened before” – when they were aware that it had happened at another wedding the same day! We filed a police report. Hotel Albuquerque did not (for either wedding). In addition, there was not a good place for the bride to wait to walk down the chapel aisle. My daughter had to wait in a hall and as a result she had to greet many of the guests prior to the wedding. For the outside wedding the bride was standing in the hall as well. The Chapel is beautiful, but was very hot, even though we had asked prior to the wedding day to make sure the air conditioning was working. Food service did not have a consistent flow. Some guests received their dinner, while others waited. Some guests stated that their steak was too rare to eat; others stated that theirs was to tuff to eat. We included multiple appetizers, and when they were passed around, no plates were provided to seated guests, and later no forks were provided at the wedding cake desert table. The hotel rooms are not updated. SO – if you are concerned about security and quality, you might want to look elsewhere!
Hotel Albuquerque was a great venue for our wedding ceremony. The outdoor pavilion is beautiful, especially in the spring and summer when all of the greenery is blooming. The backdrop for the bride and groom is also beautiful, and our pictures came out wonderful! The staff was also very helpful throughout the wedding. Lindsay became the coordinator midway through our planning, and she was great in helping plan all the details we needed. During the rehearsal, she was very helpful in organizing everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. On our wedding day, Lindsay and Brittany both were very helpful in ensuring everything went smoothly as well. They set up our decor, and, even though the day was unexpectedly windy, they were helpful in ensuring there were no problems. They tied down certain decor to keep it from blowing and, when the wind blew one of the unity sand glasses off of the table, they were quick to clean it up. We appreciated their help throughout the process, and the venue was beautiful and we were thankful to have our wedding there!
After reserving a spot in Summer 2017, my wife and I held our wedding reception in June 2018 at the Hotel Albuquerque. Honestly, it was phenomenal in every way and exceeded our expectations. Specifically, Carin the event coordinator, who joined the Hotel Albuquerque midway through our planning process was phenomenal. She really went above and beyond, and helped us to tailor the reception to what we had in mind, while having a real eye for providing guidance when we needed. The days before the wedding she really helped to simplify the process and take as much off our plate as possible, including coordinating the entire setup process. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was phenomenal. From the hostesses to the bartenders and wait staff, our guests were treated phenomenally, and the food was absolutely fantastic. Despite all of this, we were easily able to come in under our wedding budget. We would not change a thing, and would give Hotel Albuquerque (as well as Carin) the highest of recommendations.
This venue is perfect for an Albuquerque wedding if you are not into the casino hotels. The pavilion, the chapel and the Alvarado ballroom are grand! I love the ceiling and lights in the ballroom and I loved the greenery and new chandeliers in the pavilion area! The chapel was nice and cool and is where we did our rehearsal. When we met our first coordinator we were unsure if this would be the best option for us. But once Carin got there, we felt so much better. She was enthusiastic and informative and accommodating. I loved the buffet selection we chose when we did our taste test and everyone enjoyed the food on our wedding day too! We had purchased our own linens and centerpieces are we were allowed to set up the night before which was very helpful! Our rehearsal dinner was through gardunos and we loved it. They were accommodating as well because we were unsure if it would rain during the dinner, the moved us into a room inside the hotel. Everything was perfect! The only downside was the next morning after our wedding we found out that two of our guests had their trucks broken into. (Typical Albuquerque). But other than that everything was perfect!
Hotel Albuquerque was the absolute perfect venue for our recent wedding. We couldn't have made a better decision. Beth and Adrian and the Hotel staff went above and beyond for us! They were so patient and accommodating and made every aspect of our dream wedding come to life! Words cannot express how happy we are with how everything turned out. Wedding planning can be so stressful but Beth was there for me from start to finish and she and her amazing team alleviated my stress with their organization, professionalism, suggestions, and overall care and support. I would recommend this venue to anyone! The outdoor space is stunning and our wedding was more beautiful than I ever imagined it would be. A million thank you's Hotel Albuquerque!
Absolutely incredible! The staff was amazing, we did not have to worry about anything the day of. And the food- everyone raved about it!
We used Hotel Albuquerque this past December for our "Sweets and Drinks" reception following our ceremony at my family's church. All the food was delicious the ballroom was the perfect size for our ~100 guests, and all the staff was kind and considerate. They even helped us locate a platter that went missing; it had to be returned to a vendor! Overall a great experience, just turned out to be a bit pricier than we wanted, but ended up being well worth it. We and our guests had a wonderful time!
Hotel Albuquerque provides a beautiful venue for your wedding, however you must be prepared for severe customer service issues such not responding to your calls/emails, misplacing your tasting dates, inability to provide financial accounting and most importantly misappropriating your personal items with no hotel/management accountability.
I booked my wedding at Hotel ABQ 1 year in advance. I should have anticipated problems after the innumerable voice mails and e-mails to even discuss booking the venue. During the year leading up to my wedding, voice/e-mails were unanswered, deadlines were missed, financial accounting did not occur and multiple phone calls/e-mails were required to get a response for any questions.
The wedding event planner is inattentive, uninterested and does not follow through. She even shared her dislike of weddings/rehearsals in the chapel where my guests were sitting during our rehearsal.
I provided specialty beverages for my wedding after consultation with the wedding planner. I was assured that the hotel staff could manage this. Beverages were ordered with the understanding that there would be overage and that it was to be returned to me after the wedding. In spite of requesting a return of the unused beverages immediately after the wedding, and multiple phone calls following the wedding, I was informed that my specialty beverages were used by the hotel staff for other events at the hotel. Hotel management did nothing to replace/refund or acknowledge the theft of my property.
Please don’t use the Garduno’s restaurant in the hotel for your rehearsal dinner. The food and service are terribly disappointing. Select another venue for your dinner you will be very dissatisfied.
My wedding day was the only thing that was perfect. The team worked very hard on that day to ensure that everything went well.
Proceed with caution and low expectations if you decide to have your wedding at Hotel Albuquerque.
Everything was perfect! Beth and her wedding team really helped my husband and I create the perfect wedding. Everything went very smoothly and it was beautiful! The food was excellent as well! (If you book here, try to book the Franciscan ballroom!)
As the mother of the groom and clueless about how to plan a wedding in eight weeks for two professional people, I am eternally grateful to Beth Schelling at Hotel Albuquerque. I am experienced in planning and attending many banquets through the years. But I have never encountered a more professional coordinator. Beth is innovative, helpful, unflappable..a true professional. We had guests with special dietary restrictions, vegans, and children. Her response to every request was "no problem, we'll take care of it." I cannot give her enough praise. Also, the entire staff at Hotel Albuquerque was amazing. They were polite, friendly and helpful. Well done.
The Hotel Albuquerque saved my wedding!
I was planning a wedding at the Hacienda Dona Andrea in Santa Fe. I had paid deposits and was ready to walk down the aisle when, 7 weeks before the big day, I was diagnosed with cancer. This was not supposed to happen! I had met the man of my dreams and planned my dream wedding, life was perfect. Then CANCER. Doctors wanted to start chemotherapy immediately and warned me that I would lose my hair within a couple of weeks. I couldn't get married without hair and I needed to be near the hospital. My fiancé, MIL and MOH quickly called all our vendors and told them the situation. Everyone was amazing and gave us full cash refunds, with one exception. The Hacienda Dona Andrea would not give us a full refund. They have a very front heavy deposit schedule and a very strict no refund policy. BEWARE. Not even the bride getting cancer is a good enough reason. The Hotel Albuquerque, on the other hand, was incredible. After a call from my future MIL they jumped into action and made my wedding happen. It was so pretty too, better than I could have imagined. The coordinator Beth went above and beyond! She and my family planned the most PERFECT day with only 7 days notice and didn't skimp on the details. I will never forget the compassion that the staff of Hotel Albuquerque showed to me and my family. They gave me a beautiful wedding at a great price only 10 days after a life altering medical diagnosis. I can't sing praises loud enough. HOTEL ALBUQUERQUE and specifically their coordinator Beth, saved my day and made a really crazy difficult season of life beautiful. Thank you!
We had our ceremony on Nov 14 outside in the Pavilion and our reception in the Franciscan Ballroom. Liz Robinson was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Once the wedding weekend arrived, Hotel Albuquerque took care of every last detail! Everyone was so professional and made sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. Almost all of our guests were from out of town and they had nothing but great things to say about the hotel. Not only was the venue great, the pricing was incredibly reasonable and our guests raved about the food. It was the most fun and least stressful weekend of my life thanks to Hotel Albuquerque!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Hotel Albuquerque on 5/24/2015. The wedding and reception were beautiful and our guests had a great time! We had our ceremony in their outdoor pavilion and it was gorgeous! Their food is awesome and was just as good at the reception as it was at our tasting. The wedding coordinator, Liz Robinson, is very professional and on top of everything and overall great to work with. She did a great job helping us through the planning process and making sure we weren't forgetting anything. The only small issues we had were with minor details. My name was spelled incorrectly on the signs outside of the reception room, my mom was given the wrong linens when she went back the day after the wedding to pick everything of ours up, and some of our items (our cake topper and a few other items for the reception our families had brought) were misplaced and our cake was mistakenly thrown away. We would definitely recommend having your wedding at Hotel Albuquerque! Our only advice is to be specific with what you want done with things after the reception so that you're on the same page with the banquet staff.
Liz Robinson is phenomenal! Hotel Abq was a great venue for our small, intimate wedding of ~60 guests. We used the outside pavillion in early October for the ceremony and the fireplace room for our reception and it was the perfect size. Liz made sure all the details were perfect so that everyone could enjoy themselves during our ceremony. The food at the reception was delicious. We would highly recommend this location for anyone seeking a hotel venue.
You could not have a more beautiful place to have your wedding. We had ours ceremony outside in the Pavilion and reception in the Spanish Gardens. It was just beautiful with all of the greenery and flowers. Liz Robinson does such a great job in helping and overseeing everything. I had an unforgettable wedding that everyone will be talking about and I had no worries the day of. If I did have one tiny complaint, it would be our wedding concierge, at times we felt like we were on her timetable and not ours. Other than that I cannot not say enough about Hotel Albuquerque! Just an overall wonderful venue!
We used Hotel Albuquerque Chapel for our ceremony and it was such a lovely setting. The chapel worked well for us because we didn't need to decorate it to much and it was large enough to accommodate all our guests. I was a little disappointed with having to wait for earlier scheduled wedding to be done and the place was not cleaned up upon our arrival.
Ceremony was held outside in Pavilion...just beautiful. Reception/dinner/dance was held inside in Alvarado Ballroom...great setup, food, etc. The staff was great throughout whole planning process and day-of event...Liz and Ashley made it all go smoothly. No stress on the bride or groom.
Hotel Albuquerque is a beautiful venue with service to match. I was a little skeptical when it came to quality as we ordered 250 plated filets for dinner, but they proved us wrong. Dinner was absolutely fantastic and each guest commented to us about how wonderful the food and service was. Hotel Albuquerque has a fantastic special events/banquet department, however the hotel accommodations leaves a lot to be desired. The front desk forgot to hand out our gift bags to people checking in, but they did make the situation right by providing breakfast to all our hotel guests. The hotel rooms are outdated and all smell like they have been smoked in. There's no central A/C and the cleanliness of the room is substandard.
We used the hotel to celebrate my bachlorette party. We were not able to get conjoining rooms. They were not willing to cooperate with us to make sure that our stay was exactly what we wanted. The rooms were nice, and it was a good location of a couple places to go out.
We had our ceremony out in the pavillion. It was absolutely beautiful and everyone enjoyed it. The only negative was while we were trying to take pictures afterwards...the hotel let its guests and artists wander around, meaning we were constantly asking people to move (and some of our pictures ended up with people in them!). When you pay that much for a space, you would expect them to keep people out for the 2 hours you have it.
Overall, very beautiful and scenic...maybe just ask that other guests be kept out!
I absolutely love Hotel Albuquerque. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the staff is super friendly, and they are so on top of their work that I had no worries on my special day. Liz Robinson is THE BEST coordinator I have ever had the privilege working with. Because of this amazing woman, I had an unforgettable wedding that everyone will be talking about and I had no worries the day of. I say this out of sincere honesty, even though the service can get a little pricey depending on what you want, it is ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. Thank you Liz and Hotel Albuquerque for making my wedding unforgettable!!
Everything came together on our special day. We didn't have any issues with the banquet staff or the hotel. The food was delicious and the service was good.
Used the chapel, and I didn't decorate much to preserve the simplicity and beauty of the space. My coordinator changed three times though, and the wedding concierge that was provided was the best out of all of them. Would do it again. Communication to others about the wedding block of rooms wasn't the best ever though.
Overall the staff was great! They let us in early and the wedding cordinator Cindy was so sweet! She took care of the music for us and made sure we were ready to go! She kept us informed of the time and the amount of people in the chapel. The staff after the ceremony in the hotel was just as nice! We ended up renting a suite there and it was perfect! If you are looking for a nice place with great staff and a pretty scene then you have to have your wedding there!! They are great!!
Great place for both! The staff was great, food was great, and all my guests had a great time!
Chapel was lovely, and wedding concierge that helped with rehearsal was very nice. The catering department sent a cheese tray to the bride and groom room, accompanied by sparkling cider. Are we teenagers? In order to get two real bottles of champagne we paid $84 to the hotel. After spending so much money on the chapel rental at the hotel, I would have thought more care would have been put into our ammentities. Also, there is no exit to the outside from the bridal room in the chapel, so the bridal party was forced to wait outside "hidden" for 45 minutes, in the freezing cold, so that no one got sight of us. It's the little things that really stick out in your mind; something so nice, dampened by things that were overlooked.
My bridesmaids and I got ready in the "bridal suite" in the hotel. The room was ridiculously hot and having my hairdresser have to do my hair and makeup in this chair made out of tree branches was hard on my back and overall just uncomfortable. The room was shabby and needs to be modernized.
Hotel Albuquerque was the best place I could have had my reception. They took care of everything! The food was amazing! The reception ballroom was decorated beautifully. I left some of my own decorations with instruction and they followed them perfectly. They were very accommodating for my other vendors! We also had the bridesmaid luncheon there too! Plus the honeymoon suite was beautiful.
what an awesome experience! The Hotel event planners work with you on every single detail to provide an overall amazing experience. The Chapel they have is so amazingly gorgeous didn't even need decorations! The hotel also provided a 5 star meal! I had a great time and our guests were very impressed!
I had my ceremony and reception at their outdoor pavilion. The venue was phenomenal and I am SO glad I chose to get married at Hotel ABQ. However, their service was horrible. They say one thing and do another. Make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing or you will most likely regret it later. They are super expensive for what they offer and when I think about how much money we gave them for them to run an event so horribly it makes me sick. If you choose to get married there, make sure you give them a very detailed outline for everything you want on your wedding day! Although, I did that for them and they still got everything wrong... so good luck!
Overall we had a good experience with Hotel Albuquerque. They worked with our budget and we got exactly what we wanted. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. Our only complaint was we had a cash bar and the ATM wasn't working and the hotel said there was nothing they could do about it. So, I would suggest making it part of your contract if possible so that you make sure your guests can get cash for the bar if they wish to do so.
Cindy and Liz made our day amazing and flawless!
Staff was very helpful. The ceremony and reception was outside and it was gorgeous! They had it together the whole time. There were a few glitches on the wedding day, but pretty much what you would expect might go wrong. My only complaint would be the swamp coolers were not equiped to deal with the amount of guests, and a few of the rooms were extremely hot. But the pool is great! I recommend the Ice Luge at the ceremony too...
It was pretty good. The food was wonderful and the room was amazing. The one thing I would say is if you want anything specific done make sure to talk to the manager overseeing and not one of the staff. That was our mistake.They also had champagne in the room when I'm allergic to alcohol and I had made that clear at the tasting. Easily fixed however.
It was hands down the best place in Albuquerque to have a wedding. The hotel is beautiful, the outside garderns incredible and the wedding chapel romantic. The food was delicious and the service impeccable!
Our experience with Hotel ABQ was, for the most part, very good. The staff and coordinator were very open to negotiation and customization. The food was also very good. All our guests enjoyed the filet, salmon, and stuffed chix menu. Our only trouble happened the day of the wedding. My wedding party had to push the staff to get the reception site set up before the ceremony started, and our coordinator was not there that day. She had a stand in, but she never introduced herself to me. Also the bridal suite was prepared by my bridal party, not the cleaning staff. The money we payed for this venue went mostly to the ambiance and food and planning before the day, not necessarily the customer service the day of.
We had such a beautiful wedding at Hotel ABQ and we were very happy. The food was great, the environment was beautiful and all the little extras that came with our package gave our wedding such a personal and unique touch. I have only 2 very, very minor disappointments- 1. We went through 3 contacts taking care of our wedding in 10 months and the last one had changed a couple days before our wedding day. I was impressed with the customer service but had hoped to keep one contact through the whole process. However, our second contact (Aimee) was awesome and bent over backwards to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. 2. Our ceremony was off site and our reception was in the evening in a ballroom, and there was another wedding and reception going on at the same time outside. We would have liked to take pictures outside in the beautiful courtyard but were unable to since another ceremony was taking place we had to go off site. Overall it was perfect and food was delicious!
It was Beautiful! The food was Great!
My husband and I are not religious so we chose the chapel at the Hotel Albuquerque to appease those that were miffed we were not getting married in church. It really is the perfect place for a medium sized wedding.
I wanted to have the ceremony and reception in the same location to make it easier on our guests and this did the trick! The hotel was able to block out rooms at a discounted rate which helped for the holiday weekend. Our ceremony was in the chapel and everything went smoothly. The transition from ceremony to cocktails to dinner was seamless and everyone found their way easily. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The wedding coordinator was so organized and had great recommendations for other vendors as well. I would recommend the hotel to anyone!
Hotel Albuquerque is the best place to have your wedding and reception. They are the best.
