About
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. For intimate weddings, our courtyard is a beautiful location and for larger weddings, up to 200 guests, our meadow is the perfect location. Most couples get married on-site but you don't have to! This means that after the ceremony you and your guests will then have a chance to relax and mingle in our 4,000-square-foot custom clear tent that boasts views of the Rio Ruidoso River and lush trees. As the sun sets, the tent is illuminated with the warm romantic hue of Edison bulbs.
​
With on-site catering services, your meals are always freshly prepared with the best items. Chef Michael Tafoya, has over 20 years as a caterer and over 25 as a chef, winning several culinary awards during that time. You are sure to delight in charcuterie boards, regional cuisine, 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 our Casa del Rio are the perfect locations to prepare for your dream day and rest after your reception. With an opportunity to be onsite the day prior to your wedding you will be able to relax without worrying about transporting luggage and the day-of-necessities.
We can't wait to support you and invest our time
into 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!
