Hotel Albuquerque is a true gem.

Located in the heart of downtown Albuquerque across the street from Old Town Plaza, this venue will meet your needs if you're looking for an elegant and versatile location for your ceremony and/or reception. BONUS: It's extremely convenient for any visiting family and friends to reserve a room on-site, as well as reserving a suite to get ready before the wedding.

Located right in the back of the hotel is its very own wedding chapel, regardless of your religion or denomination. The courtyard is an opportune area for formal family and couple's photos with its sprawling ivy over unique New Mexican architecture.

During the warmer months, the outdoor pavilion is a picturesque ceremony space with an ivy-covered canopy to shade you from the desert sun. It can also be converted into a dance space for outdoor evening receptions, with dinner served on the adjacent lawn.

If you have a smaller guest count, the Franciscan Ballroom, located opposite the welcome desk, is perfect, with large west-facing windows to let the golden sunset light in before the party begins. If your guest count is more robust, the back of the hotel has a very generously sized conference room where you can dance the night away.

Hotel Albuquerque has so many spots perfect for photographing couples with minimal interference from other guests, from the chapel courtyard, to the fountain, to the long ivy corridor.

This place is one of our favorites, and we can't wait until our next opportunity to photograph a wedding here!
