6 OF NEW MEXICO’S BEST WEDDING CATERERS

Header image by Alicia Lucia Photography

Welcome to August, friends! Even though we still have about two months to go, summer is already preparing to pack up her things and hit the road. We love summer days like nobody’s business, but we are fully prepared to bring out the oversized sweaters and cuddle up by the fireplace with some tea. Who’s with us?!

Another aspect of fall that we love oh-so-much is the weddings – the moody, warm, and totally intimate kind. Despite local couples being urged to rethink their larger weddings, all the beauty that has come out of it has been worth the days of worry and extra effort to avoid cancellation. We’re digging the determination of vendors and couples alike when it comes to creating those unique quarantine-style micro-weddings. So far, come fall, things won’t be much different! Micro-weddings are going to be in full swing and amazing as ever.

When we think of any wedding, big or small, we think about the important aspects, like the venue and one of our favorites – the food. Now that elopement style weddings are happening all over the world, finding ways to feed your guests at an unconventional location may leave you stumped. That’s where your favorite local wedding caterers come in! With years of expertise and weddings behind them, these miracle-workers will not only accommodate your needs but also leave you and your guests full-bellied and satisfied.

Here are 6 of New Mexico’s most exquisite and Chef Wedding Collective approved wedding caterers:
