Our Wedding Venue

I was hoping to have this post up yesterday but I had to wait for the thumbs up letting us know that our reservation was official. At the end of our venue tours it was very clear to Evan and I which venue was number one in our minds. Surprisingly it was not the one we went in thinking it would be. The first time I saw pictures of our venue online I fell in love but logistically thought it might not be our best option, however in the end its pros greatly outweighed its cons. So which venue did we pick?

Paa Ko Ridge Golf Club

 

Paa Ko Ridge is located up in the mountains about 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque which is what gives it the most beautiful views. The whole place is breathtaking, mountains, trees, pristine greens, ponds and more.

 

The ceremony will take place on the green of one of the courses on the property. After seeing the ceremony spot that took us in the see the indoor reception space, at this point I was completely sold. I felt like most of the other places excelled in either having a great ceremony spot OR a great reception spot and Paa Ko had great options for both.

 

 

Of course the reception space was empty because they didn't have any events going on that weekend but I've seen beautiful pictures of ones from the past. I loved this space because it needs so little, its already beautiful in a simple and clean way. In comparison our second choice option would have required a large amount of draping and more to fit what we were looking for.

 

I am so thrilled that our decision is made and our date it on the books this takes a huge weight off my shoulders now we can officially begin planning and relax a little. Since the wedding is over a year away we wont have to get into little details quite yet the next thing we will need to do will be to pick a photographer, which will be a really tough one for us.

 

I can't wait to marry the man of my dreams in this spot!!
