Question

What is the best way to book my stay for the wedding?

Answer

To ensure you receive the special group rate and amenities we’ve arranged, please book using our group code and visit our TRAVEL section. There are additional hotels in the Santa Fe Plaza to look into that come highly recommended such as the Drury Plaza Inn in Santa Fe https://www.druryhotels.com/locations/santa-fe-nm/drury-plaza-hotel-in-santa-fe. We strongly encourage booking as early as possible, as rooms are subject to availability and the region is especially busy during this time of year.

Question

Are there transportation options available between the hotel and wedding venue?

Answer

Yes! We've arranged for shuttle service to transport guests between Inn & Spa at Loretto and the wedding venue, Four Seasons Rancho de Encantado. Shuttle schedules will be provided closer to the date, ensuring you can plan your day with ease. Should you choose to drive to the wedding venue, valet parking is available.

Question

Do you recommend using ride sharing services such as UBER or Lyft?

Answer

We understand the importance of reliable transportation to and from our event and acknowledge that in some locations or during peak times, ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft may not always be as dependable as expected. Here are some alternatives and suggestions to ensure you have a smooth experience: Schedule Your Ride: When possible, take advantage of the scheduling feature available on both the Uber and Lyft apps to book your ride in advance. Car Rentals: For maximum flexibility, consider renting a car. This might be especially practical if you're planning on exploring the area or if public transport options are limited. Shuttle Transportation: We strongly encourage all guests to secure their accommodations at one of our designated hotels where we have reserved room blocks specifically for our event. Not only will booking early ensure you receive our special group rate, but it also simplifies your logistics by making you eligible for the complimentary shuttle transportation we’ve arranged to and from the event venue. Availability is limited, so please book as soon as possible to take full advantage of these conveniences designed exclusively for our guests.

Question

What activities or attractions are recommended in the area?

Please check out our THINGS TO DO section for more information and direct links to recommendations.

Question

Is there a dress code or recommended attire for the wedding?

Answer

We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebration! The dress code is Black Tie Optional, suitable for an evening of elegance and fun. Considering the time of year, we suggest bringing a layer for the evening as it can cool down.

Question

Do you recommend booking accommodations through AirBNB or VRBO?

Answer

For those who prefer a more unique or private accommodation experience, Airbnb and VRBO offer a variety of rental properties in the area that can cater to different needs and preferences. These options can be particularly appealing for guests looking to extend their stay or seeking the comforts of home. While we have arranged shuttle transportation from designated hotels, we encourage guests staying in Airbnb or VRBO properties to consider proximity to the hotels or event venue for convenient access to event transportation and activities. Please book early to secure your preferred accommodation.
