Planning a Taos ceremony

Taos sits at high altitude in northern New Mexico, with big skies and sudden weather changes. Plan for wind, sun and cool evenings, and bring layers for guests. If you marry outdoors, ask about a backup plan and confirm any time limits at the garden. Learn how a New Mexico marriage license works, who must be present to obtain it and when it must be filed.

Getting there

El Prado is just north of Taos. If guests are flying in, the nearest large airports are in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and the drive is scenic but takes a few hours.

Ask how long the ceremony will run and whether a rehearsal is included. If you have family traditions you want to honor, share them in your first meeting so the wording can be arranged around them.
