“The Stakeout is one of those rare hidden gems of the desert that exudes creativity, ingenuity and culinary excellence. We've been shooting weddings for 16 years & can say unequivocally that The Stake Out is one of our all time favorite venues. It's not only "the vibe" when it comes to all things Southwest, the staff & way it's run is top shelf. We've shot many weddings there and continue to look forward to going back each time. It is also surprisingly diverse when it comes to custom configurations that are possible. If you have the budget & you're drawn to Taos, NM - book The Stakeout.”
