We got married on the terrace at La Fonda in September of this year, and it was a beautiful wedding! If you want a classic, downtown Santa Fe wedding then this is your place. However, there are a few things to be aware of going in: 1. Conside...
r hiring a day of coordinator. I was told by others that I didn't need one because the hotel has a coordinator. Samie is very knowledgeable and kind and in the end our day was organized very well. However, I found that she was somewhat difficult to connect with leading up to the event, and I hardly saw her the day of our wedding. I had to personally ask multiple times on wedding night for the waitstaff to remove a couple tables for dancing, even though this was agreed upon in advance. If you want more personalized attention, it is worth the extra cost for a coordinator. 2. Be aware of the prices - La Fonda charges "a la carte" pricing - for example, tent sides and string lights on the terrace are individual costs. We were able to negotiate some costs down, based on how valuable these items were to us. 3. Don't expect special treatment from the hotel. They do SO many weddings a year (two the weekend we were there) and you are just another guest to them. The room block situation is below average - they will only reserve 10 rooms for free, and they charge $2 a bag to deliver welcome bags to your guests. Despite the above, I would have another wedding at La Fonda in a heartbeat. The historic hotel is just stunning, and we had the most perfect weather for our outside ceremony. Our guests all raved about the experience. It's just good to know what to expect!

Samie at La Fonda was great. It started to before my ceremony and she already had a room set up inside just in case. In the end I chose to get married with a light drizzle, she made sure our chair were wiped dried and it was beautiful. The food...
was amazing and the staff was really friendly. I couldn’t have wished for anything better.

Got married at La Fonda a few weeks ago and have nothing but great things to say. They venue is absolutley beautiful an so perfect for an indoor/outdoor option. Their second floor patio area overlooks a beautiful historic church and the ballroo...
m right next to it is so amazing, not like a traditional ballroom. it is very light, open air, and no carpet on the floors! The venue doors can also be open on 3 sides so its super nice if you get married on a day with good weather so you can go inside and outside if you want. The staff was amazing and so were the drinks and the food. Samie, was so organized and on top of things. Even with my many requests and e-mails she met all our needs and made sure everything was perfect. If you get married in Santa Fe and want to be close to the plaza, this is the place, for sure.

Samie is an expert and a pleasure to work with. Our guests loved cocktail hour hour on the rooftop overlooking the Plaza. It was an experience you can only get in a place like Santa Fe

Thank you Samie and Cindy for making sure everything ran smoothly!

This venue is what made my decision to have a destination wedding! My now husband and I were set on getting married in the Texas Hill Country where we both grew up - until my mother convinced me to look at venues in Santa Fe, where our love sto...
ry all began. I knew the moment I stepped onto the La Fonda Terrace that this is where my dream wedding would take place! And a dream it was - with the beautiful backdrop and gorgeous ballroom - our wedding day was a fairy tale and La Fonda set the scene. Not only is this venue gorgeous - but the food, service, and love you receive from the LaFonda team makes everything that much more special. I hope future brides to be have the opportunity to look at the beautiful La Fonda on the Plaza as a venue for their special day!
