Travel Information
Air Travel
If traveling by plane, you can fly into Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) or Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF). ABQ is one hour away from downtown Santa Fe and offers a variety of direct flights. SAF is 25 minutes from downtown, with fewer direct flights.
Ground Transportation
We recommend making arrangements prior to your arrival. We note that there is no taxi or rideshare service available in Santa Fe and suggest either renting a car or booking a transport service (recommendations below). We have intentionally booked our events within walking distance of the plaza, so there is no need for a car while you are here (unless you wish to explore elsewhere!).
Accommodations
We have reserved a block of rooms at La Fonda on the Plaza for our guests, as well as another block of rooms at La Fonda's sister hotel, Piñon Court. We recommend booking soon to secure availability during the busy September season. If you prefer to look elsewhere, there are a variety of walkable hotel options nearby in downtown Santa Fe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
Friday evening dress code is cocktail attire. We suggest men wear jackets without ties, and women wear short or tea length dresses (or a dressy pantsuit).
Saturday dress code is formal attire. We kindly ask that men wear a suit and tie, and women wear floor length dresses or a dressy pantsuit.
Our aesthetic for the weekend is desert garden party. Our color palette is reflected in this website as well as the save the date and invitations - we encourage colors and florals! We note that in the adobe backdrop of our venues, neutrals/tans may appear washed out in photos.
We are not leaning into a Western theme for any of our events. For those who may be inspired to embrace traditional Sante Fe style, the Friday welcome party would be the appropriate venue to do so, while Saturday's ceremony and reception will be more traditional.
Events on both nights will be indoor/outdoor. The outdoor areas do not have grass and will be on concrete terraces.
What is the weather like in Santa Fe in September?
Typically the daytime highs are in the mid-70s, with cooler nights and mornings given the desert climate.
Are my children invited?
Our wedding will be an adult-only (18+) event. We appreciate you making accommodations so you can celebrate with us.
Do I get a plus one?
You and your invited guest (if applicable) will be listed on your invitation. We are not able to accommodate guests outside of that.
What else should I know?
The altitude in Santa Fe is 7,198 feet! We recommend drinking lots of water (starting 1-2 days before traveling) to help acclimate.
