“As a wedding photography and planning team, The Dream Choice has the privilege of working with venues across the country — and Hotel Willa stands out as a true gem. Nestled in the heart of Taos, this reimagined boutique property is effortlessly stylish, warm, and welcoming, with a uniquely artistic spirit that makes every event feel magical. The spaces are beautifully curated, from the serene outdoor lawn to the thoughtfully designed gallery, and the Adobe House Casita is perfect for couples or families seeking privacy and comfort. Our clients love that it's modern without losing the charm of Northern New Mexico. Even more importantly, the team at Hotel Willa is a dream to work with. Their professionalism, creativity, and deep commitment to community and hospitality shine through in every interaction. As planners and photographers, we appreciate how communicative and accommodating they are — truly collaborators in bringing each couple’s vision to life. If you’re a couple looking for a soulful, elevated venue that honors the spirit of Taos, or a vendor seeking a seamless experience, Hotel Willa checks all the boxes. We can’t wait to create more love stories together here.”

“As a wedding photographer, I'm always inspired by breathtaking environments, and The Stakeout does not disappoint. With its million-dollar views and magical sunsets, it's no wonder New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment. Perched atop a hill, The Stakeout is a hidden gem offering stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling French doors that lead from the dining room to the back terrace. This venue is a one-stop shop, providing everything from an exquisite chef with diverse food options to incredible mixologists crafting perfectly curated drinks. They also offer decor and A/V add-ons to complete your wedding experience. If you're looking for an elevated high desert wedding, I highly recommend The Stakeout. They truly exceed expectations.”
