Highly, highly recommend…read more Alena was such a great contribution to our planning and execution of our wonderful wedding day. We are so grateful for her professionalism and experience, as she organized all of the vendors and kept our wedding on a timeline. Not only is she a great wedding planner, but she genuinely was excited for us and shared in our love and joy for the months leading up to our event. It is obvious how much Alena loves her job. I hope she is able to continue to grow her business and share her skills with many more couples for years and years to come. Thank you Alena!!!!

Alena is extraordinary. Absolutely top notch - she is a total cut above the rest! I run anxious and…read moreI was incredibly worried about everything going well (after having lost my first wedding venue in California and needing to put together a totally new wedding in NM in 5 months, I was especially concerned). Since I live in CA, I was working with Alena remotely, which could have caused problems with someone less capable. No problems at all with Alena, her work was A+. Not only was I able to 100% trust Alena with all of my worries and details, but she went above and beyond in every way during my wedding in Santa Fe in August. She will have every detail that is important to you in her brain day of, and make sure that it happens precisely as you want it to happen. She will solve problems before they even get to you. She will be a shepherd to you and your spouse on your big day - not pushy, but not a pushover. There in exactly the way you need her. She knows her craft, and she executes like the expert she is. She is worth every single penny and more. She has a calming, but kickass presence that will complement you in whatever way your personality type needs. Her organizational skills and professional demeanor truly impressed us during the whole lead up to the wedding and the day of. She managed all of our vendors with elegance, but a get-it-done attitude as well, and they had great things to say about her to us as well. I wish I lived in New Mexico so I could work with Alena on more events. She is unbelievable. Hiring her was the best decision of our entire wedding - and my husband and I say that every time we reminisce about our big day. She made it even better than I imagined...which I did not think was possible!!

The venue itself is beautiful, but our experience on the wedding day was incredibly disappointing. The communication leading up to the wedding was responsive and great, and our questions were answered promptly which we were very impressed with. However, responsiveness beforehand did not translate into execution on the wedding day. They reassured us that Marina was a certified wedding planner and that we didn't need to hire another one or a day of coordinator. That couldn't be more wrong. Our signature cocktail ingredients that we purchased ourselves and brought were misplaced. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, our family was led to believe they had forgotten to bring them. Several family members, and I during the wedding spent 30-60 minutes searching the venue and scrambling to find them or replacement ingredients. During the wedding they never offered to replace them or reimburse us for the hundreds of dollars they had lost. We had even spent time brewing tea specifically for the cocktails, which ultimately wasn't used either even though it was there. Before the wedding, I offered to batch the cocktails in advance to avoid exactly this type of problem. I was reassured that it wasn't necessary. When the missing ingredients were eventually found days later, we were asked to come pick them up after the wedding ourselves so they could be returned. There was no offer to reimburse us for the inconvenience until we pressed them for it. A simple phone call that night could've saved everything but there was no communication. If your guest count decreases before the wedding but they already charged you for plating or other things don't expect them to offer you a refund unless you press them for it either. When we arrived about 45 minutes before guests were scheduled to arrive, almost nothing had been set up yet, and the coordinator was in the office just eating. They ask you to assign your own friends and family to handle tasks that I expected the venue staff to coordinate. The reception tables were also not in the order requested. While we were still loading our belongings after the reception which was literally at 10pm sharp, the venue lights were turned off on us. I was literally loading things in my wedding dress with no help from the venue. My husband, the groom, also felt the bartenders hired from Nature Pointe were rude to him--on his wedding day! Also in general they don't allow caterers to cook anything on site so if you want anything that is supposed to be crispy or made on site, it's impossible, which makes the menu very limited. The "wedding planning" they offer is a sheet of vendors they know of and it's minimal and outdated. I understand that people have difficult days or personal circumstances, and I genuinely try to extend grace. Had someone simply acknowledged the mistakes, apologized, or attempted to make things right, I likely would have felt very differently. People often describe their wedding as one of the most important days of their lives. Thankfully, we were surrounded by wonderful family, friends, and incredible vendors who made the day special despite these issues. But many of the stressful moments we experienced were preventable. 3 months later I'm still disappointed and surprised that this all happened. If I were planning my wedding again, I would definitely choose a different venue AND not rely on reassurance that they have a day-of-coordinator.

We held our wedding at The View Event Center, which is a site owned and managed by Simply Decor &…read moreEvents. The location is gorgeous, and was just right for our wedding. When we arrived, the chairs were uncovered and the tablecloths had deep creases in them. Be aware that the basic package doesn't include the chair covers (even if you were told it does!) and includes their least-expensive tablecloths. Despite this, the manager on site the day of our event very kindly put covers on the chairs and swapped the tablecloths out. We had no problems with the venue or the staff until the manager left. Once she was no longer present, the staff began clearing tables, not just of trash from dinner, but also by throwing away wedding favors, florals, and other decor we had out. Many of our guests began leaving because they thought the event was over, even though it still had 2 1/2 hours to go. We ended up leaving early, ourselves, because we had no guests left! We also pre-paid for some wine vouchers for our cash bar. The bartender requested that we hand out the vouchers, so we put a friend in charge of them. At the end of the night, we still had 20 vouchers left. The bartender charged our guests full price for glasses of wine if they didn't have a voucher; this was after asking us to hand out the vouchers rather than keep them at the bar for free use by the guests. We feel double-charged for those drinks, and were offered no means of making this right, since it isn't the bartender's job to keep track of the vouchers that were pre-paid for. We frustratingly overpaid by $100 for wine that the bartender can now re-sell at another time. Overall, the management is phenomenal, and our experience was a good one. The venue is beautiful, and I'd highly recommend a walkthrough for anyone interested. Just some suggestions: make sure everything you're promised is written out to the letter on the invoice, don't have an evening event here, where the manager might be clocking out partway through, and go with a strictly cash or strictly open bar, DO NOT buy the vouchers, because they're not afraid to double-dip for the drinks that are already covered by those.
