Manzano Mountain Retreat
About this venue
In 1995 the historic apple orchards that put became the host to a new summer camp, brought about by the owner of Darnell Apple Orchard. The owner is an architect and builder, who designed and constructed the main dining hall, and five group cabins as summer-only buildings. A year later Scott and Spencer Garrett, the developers of New Mexico Sports and Wellness recreational clubs, purchased the Apple Wood Camp and renamed it Apple Mountain Camp. Their goal was not only to create a summer camp facility but to develop a high-altitude sports training facility. Their dream reached reality when in 1997 and 1998 swimming gold medallists Tom Jager and Janet Evans used Apple Mountain to host their Gold Medal Swim Camp. In 1999 the Garrett’s sold their recreational clubs to a national chain but retained ownership in Apple Mountain Camp. In 2000, Scott purchased all remaining shares of AMC and commenced a significant remodeling and expansion effort, renaming the facility Manzano Mountain Retreat.
Our event spaces
Dining Hall
Rustic wood and long, family-style tables set the scene for a fun wedding reception. The dining hall is the ideal place for a winter wedding- its charm is easily accented by pine boughs and gentle lights. Easily sits 100 people.
Guest capacity
Up to 100 Seated
Trigo Room
Looking for that small reception with honourees and drinks? The Trigo room has its own fireplace, sound system, large screen and leather furniture. It’s the best option for a cozy, intimate affair with a minimum number of guests.
Love On The Water
We have a small pond nestled near the mountains, perfect for a wedding up to 200 people. The trees create a natural isle that facilitates the bride’s big moment. Just a few steps away from our luxurious Pond House, you and your future spouse stand center on our lovely pergola in front of the water with your minister while your wedding party sits in front of you. This is a great location for weddings at any time of the day and at any time of the year.
Guest capacity
Up to 200 Standing
Autumn Cider
Get married in the harvest time at Manzano among our magnificent 2000 apple trees and have your wedding meals along the rows of our 19 varieties. You can have your reception out under the stars or in our rustic dining hall. Baskets of apples and autumn cheer await.
Winter Wonderland
The Perfect wedding option for those looking for an intimate getaway. We have several large cabins that can host your family and closest friends. With a maximum of 30 guests, you can be close to the ones closest to you
Spring Blossoms
Embrace the mountain as you embrace each other. The Manzano Mountains are beautiful this time of year. With the apple trees in bloom you are sure to have pictures to remember. Windswept and lovely, the spring is a romantic time at Manzano Mountain Retreat. Your love is entering a new stage of growth, and so are the mountains here. Mid March thru late May
Vintage Bloom
If hydrangeas, pastel roses, mint and that vintage feel are to your tastes, MMR can turn your vintage wedding into a sweet dream full of pastels and delicate touches
Country Blooms
It’s unique mountain location gives MMR the perfect position to be the your country wedding destination. We even have antique farming equipment and a rustic red wagon around the property for that perfect picture. If mason jars, sunflowers, chalkboards and some great outside fun are anywhere on your list, look no farther. You will arrive on Friday and your wedding party has free use of the grounds. Have a blast on our trails and we will even organize a property-wide scavenger hunt. Have the wedding under our Pergola at the Pond or in our grass field surrounded by the smiling faces of your family and friends.
Under The Pines
For those seeking a quiet retreat among the shade of the pines, we can set up a wedding to remember under 100 year old trees and the soft smell of leaves. Great for very large groups or for groups of any size, you can have the wedding in the midst of nature.
Pavilion
Picnic area by day, an elegant outdoor shelter at night. The pavilion is our most versatile space; it is a blank canvas that can be decorated to suit your needs. The Pavilion provides an outdoor reception experience with the reassurance of a roof over your head in case of inclement weather. Great for those summer nights and early fall evenings. Tables are often set up in a U-shape with dancing in the middle, or as a cocktail reception.
Gymnasium
Are you planning on having a lot of people at your wedding? While MMR sleeps 200, the gymnasium can seat many more than that. This space is large and conducive to dancing the night away with your DJ.
