Heather and her team were truly amazing! My daughter got engaged January 1st and was married just over 3.5 months later at Santa Ana Star Casino-Hotel on April 21st. Without them, we could never have pulled it off. This team of wonderful people executed perfectly what we envisioned and quite honestly, more! The evening was literally magical! Communication was impeccable during all stages of planning, especially the day of the ceremony. If I called, Heather answered immediately and met me right away to help with our every need. For these reasons and many more, I’m forever grateful. During meetings and all contact with the team, I felt like I was working with friends, not just going through the process of wedding planning. That’s exactly what I didn’t know I wanted or even needed during this exciting life event for my daughter and son-in-law. Multiple guests at the wedding were blown away after hearing that this was all put together so quickly! So, Heather and all involved, you’re ROCKSTARS!
Run, do not walk, let Santa Ana and their wonderful staff make your wedding everything you could hope for!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the one. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional every step of the way, making the entire planning process feel seamless. On the big day, everything ran smoothly, and our guests are still raving about the beautiful setting and the exceptional service. If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares and creates unforgettable memories, this is it!

Honestly everything was so amazing and beautiful and well done! Heather and her crew are amazing at everything they set to help us achieve! Only thing I wish I could’ve changed was that a couple of my guests meals were wrong and no one wanted to say anything because no one wanted to upset waitresses or waiters or anyone really and my sister is allergic to pineapple and we specifically ordered her meal with no pineapple because she loves salmon but couldn’t have the glaze and they still served it with the glaze and without her knowledge it was on there and she had an allergic reaction (nothing deadly) luckily there was Benadryl by a friend on hand. But nobody ever offered maybe even a small discount or to take her meal off or cook her something different after she wasn’t able to eat that at all. Other than this everything was great!!!

Santa Ana was truly a godsend – we originally were booked at a venue about 15 minutes east of Santa Ana but had booked a room block here for our guests. Jarren worked with me over the course of nearly a year to confirm the room block and coordinate a shuttle between the original venue and Santa Ana. When things fell through at our original venue, we looked to Santa Ana and thankfully they had our original date available.
Jarren helped me get in touch with Heather, their wedding coordinator, who quickly started planning and working with us to confirm details. Their process was extremely straightforward and easy: the tasting was very nice, and the banquet staff were great and very polite. We used their booklet to decide on napkin color, set up, extras, and other décor. I was so grateful to have Santa Ana staff available to do everything for us – they set everything up, made sure things ran smoothly with the ceremony, and were very attentive to the details we requested of them. They allowed us to put a personal touch on a lot of the elements of the wedding and I can’t say enough good things about the view!!! When there was a mix up with the rooms, Heather helped make it right and she was so helpful in answering my constant questions and she never seemed to get annoyed with helping us!
In addition, when our cake never showed up, I believe the hotel staff scrambled to make us a nice chocolate cake in its place, which was extremely appreciated, so that our guests had some dessert to eat. The bar and banquet staff were also amazing, so kind and everyone made us feel like we were the most important thing on our wedding day. They even left us a complimentary gift in the room on the night of the wedding which was so unexpected but absolutely appreciated!!! Would recommend Santa Ana for anyone looking to get married in New Mexico!

Heather and her staff are Amazing!! We are an older couple and I had never really thought about a wedding reception not really thinking I’d ever get married. With Heathers help it was the least stressful part of my wedding planning. The decoration options are amazing but the fact that you can bring in the your own decorations to add to theirs to make the venue truly special is AWESOME!! The food was to die for well worth the price per plate. My husband and I could not recommend this venue higher. We had about 80 guest and the size of the room was just right. Felt intimate but we weren’t on top of each other either. All in all just a wonderful place and AMAZING staff!!

Heather and Jaron were 3 steps ahead of everything! Both were very responsive and answered all questions, comments, and concerns we had. The night went smoothly and everything turned out exactly how we envisioned it.
Our guest still compliment our wedding venue even weeks later.

I looked at every major venue in ABQ before settling on Santa Ana. There were a combination of reasons why I chose the venue from pricing, availability and more. On paper they were great, but what blew me away was working with the event staff. Everyone was amazing and blew my expectations out of the water. They were absolutely fantastic and everything I wanted they made it happen. I had tons of decor that I brought, they worked with all my vendors to coordinate the day, and kept everything running smoothly so I didn’t worry about a thing. It was amazing to have that kind of piece of mind on such an important day that is filled with tons of details. The staff was absolutely amazing and their service and attention to detail made our day perfect. Walking into the venue blew me away and I hope every bride and groom gets that feeling on their day, and if you choose Santa Ana I know you will.
