ABOUT US
Let's Make a Memory
San Patricio Orchards is a wedding and event venue situated along the alluring and picturesque Rio Ruidoso River in the Historic Hondo Valley of New Mexico. From intimate weddings in our on-site chapel to those with up to 200 guests for outdoor ceremonies, you will be able to choose from various locations on the property to exchange your vows and have the reception. For intimate weddings, our courtyards are beautiful locations to mingle and then move inside the gallery room for the meal. For larger weddings, our meadow is the perfect location as it has a 4,000-square-foot custom clear tent that boasts views of the Rio Ruidoso River, lush trees including cottonwoods, and of course fruit trees. As the sun sets the tent is illuminated with the warm hue of Edison bulbs and the soft warm glimmer of fairy lights.
With on-site catering services, your meals are always freshly prepared with the best items. Chef, Michael Tafoya, has over 15 years as a caterer and over 20 as a chef. You are sure to delight in charcuterie boards, regional cuisine or custom fare, or even a dessert bar... the options are endless so you can truly customize a menu just for your day.
The Bridal Casita or the Bridal Suite are the perfect locations to prepare for your dream day and rest after your reception. With an option to rent other suites for the wedding party the night prior you will be able to relax without worrying about transporting luggage and the day-of-necessities.
We can't wait to serve you on your special day!
Turning Your Vision Into Reality
Our 4,000-square-foot clear tent is set up seasonally for weddings and events during the late spring to fall.
​
The beauty of the canopy will be enjoyed by you and your guests throughout your big day.
Beautiful greens of the area transform into warm hues of light in the evening and you are sure to feel that the stars are within reach.
​
We look forward to discussing the vision you have for your wedding and how the natural beauty of the property will punctuate your decorations, centerpieces, linens, etc.
Love is in
the details.
That's why we ask about you as a couple and find out what your favorites, preferences, and cravings are. From there we can build a custom menu just for you and your guests.
Let Chef Mike Tafoya and his team work their magic for your big day!
