Weddings & intimate ceremonies.
Say "I do" on private property along both banks of the Pecos River, a secluded canyon setting 30 minutes from Santa Fe.
A small wedding venue near Santa Fe
The river, the canyon and the two of you.
The Pecos River Cliff House has hosted weddings before, and it's easy to see why. Red sandstone cliffs rise above a quiet, cottonwood-lined stretch of the Pecos, the river flows year-round past the meadow below the house, and evenings end with the canyon glowing at sunset and a sky full of stars.
For couples looking for an intimate wedding, an elopement or a small ceremony with the people closest to them, it's a setting that feels a world away while staying close to Santa Fe and within reach of Albuquerque.
- Private property on both banks of the Pecos
