We loved having our reception at UNM. We had it in Ballroom C, which comfortably sat 160 individuals for a 3 course sit down dinner, dance floor, cake table, gift table, and D.J. ...
table. The service was awesome, the food was great, and the atmosphere was what you made it: either laid back or very professional.
