Santa Fe has two airport options: Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) and Santa Fe Regional Airport. ABQ is the larger of the two and has more flight options. ABQ is located about an hour drive away from Santa Fe so if you do fly into ABQ, you will either need to rent a car or take the airport shuttle (more info on the travel page!) Santa Fe Regional Airport is about a 20-minute drive to downtown Santa Fe and offers daily flights to/from Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston. If you are flying to/from these locations or need to connect, we recommend looking into flying into Santa Fe, as it is far more convenient than flying into ABQ.
While we recommend renting a car to get around, it's not totally necessary. There is a lot to do in walking distance from the hotel and there are Ubers available.
Yes, there is garage parking at La Fonda available for $30 (plus tax) per evening. You can also try to find street parking around the hotel.
Open bar, of course!
Our wedding takes place during a holiday weekend so please bear that in mind! The city might be a little more crowded than usual so we HIGHLY recommend making dinner & brunch reservations for the days/meals around the wedding events. Santa Fe is a small city and restaurant reservations get booked up quickly, so please be sure to make plans ahead of time! A fun July 4th Santa Fe tradition is Pancakes on the Plaza. Be sure to check it out! https://santafe.com/pancakes-on-the-plaza/
Santa Fe during July will likely see temperatures in the mid-high 80s, with it cooling off quite a bit in the evening. Santa Fe has a dry heat, which makes it a pleasant place to visit during the summer. However, July is smack in the middle of "monsoon season," meaning it will most likely rain at some point during the weekend. Please be sure to pack layers and rain gear!
Altitude sickness is a real thing when visiting Santa Fe, a city that sits 7,000 miles above sea level. Please be sure to drink lots and LOTS of water throughout your stay and take Advil pre-emptively. Taking Gingko Biloba supplements the week leading up to your trip may also help prevent altitude sickness.
