 Wedding Weekend Plans

Our ceremony and reception will take place at the historic Ghost Ranch, which has more than enough space for everyone! However the accommodations are rustic, and if you'd prefer a bit more comfort, we also recommend the beautiful Abiquiu Inn just 20 minutes down the road!

BOOK YOUR CABIN IN THE GHOST RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD HERE.

Option 1: Ghost Ranch Ghost Ranch has rooms for over 300 people -- so there's space for everyone! It's surrounded by a breathtaking mountain range of red rocks--the natural beauty is what drew us and hopefully draws you in too! Stays here can range from an elevated camping experience (with a roof, bed, and showers) to a true camping experience, pitching a tent under the stars--which you WILL be able to see if there are no clouds. The rooms here come with showers but the showers don't come with soap. That kind of place. It's summer camp! All lodging at Ghost Ranch includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner service at the cafeteria. There is no air conditioning.

If you're joining us for all three nights (Thursday 6/17 to Sunday 6/20), there's no better place to stay than in our neighborhood of casitas! Situated in the center of the ranch, this cluster of cabins will be the social hub for our weekend of festivities. Each is unique, so take a look at the layouts and table above to choose the one that suits your party best.

But there are other ways to enjoy Ghost Ranch too! - Get a single unit in the dorms!- Pick up an RV on the way and enjoy full RV hookups!- Pack a tent and camp under the stars! <a href="https://ghostranch.secure.retreat.guru/program/come-stay-with-us/?form=1&amp;lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn more about Ghost Ranch's many available accommodations!</a>

Offering an onsite restaurant, this Abiquiu inn is adjacent to the Georgia O’Keeffe Studio. Each room includes free Wi-Fi. Each air-conditioned room features a seating area, a fireplace and a cable TV at Abiquiu Inn. An private bathroom is also offered. Café Abiquiu serves Southwestern cuisine daily at Abiquiu Inn. A courtyard with a fountain is available for guests to enjoy. A gift shop featuring local artists is also provided on site. Ghost Ranch is 20 minutes’ drive from Abiquiu Inn. Plaza Blanca is 4 miles from the hotel

The Abiquiu Inn

Option 2: Abiquiu InnThis place is a southwest art gallery with beds. For folks who may be sensitive to heat and need AC while sleeping, this is the place for you. A few important notes on this place:- About 20 minutes from Ghost Ranch- Need independent transportation-A little more expensive than Ghost Ranch Some highlights:- Abiquiu River access- Restaurant Onsite (Exceptional!)- Nestled in a grove of cottonwood trees- Down the street from the Lavender Farm

There's no wrong way to get to Abiquiu!

Traveling from Southern California? Take the Party Train! The Party Train is the regularly scheduled Amtrak Southwest Chief departing Los Angeles Union Station at 4:55 PM on Wednesday 6/16/27, arriving in Santa Fe at 1:40 PM the next day. Enjoy a surprisingly great dinner on board (don't forget to book it in advance!) and fall asleep to the click-clack of your steady railroll East. Wake up to a hot breakfast in the dining car as you cruise through the American Southwest. There's no more civilized way to travel.(The train will drop you off at Lamy and Amtrak will provide a bus to Santa Fe. From there, the Welsh-Romero Party Shuttle will carry you to Abiquiu.)

Party Shuttle

At 2PM on Thursday 6/17/27, the Welsh-Romero Party Shuttle will gather everyone in Santa Fe, particularly those who have just arrived via Party Train, and carry them to Abiquiu.

Albuquerque International Sunport

Flying in? You'll probably have the most luck landing at Albuquerque's Sunport. They also have a well-stocked rental car center with competitive rates. Remember: don't call it an airport!

Santa Fe Airport

Santa Fe has the easiest charming little airport you've ever visited. Flights might be more expensive, but it'll save you half the drive!

Road Trip

Arriving by RV? Why not? Ghost Ranch has an RV park with full hookups. Traveling by car? We've done that trip - we love it! See the sights of the Southwest along the way!
