For couples who want to be married here in the shaded courtyards of our picturesque Santa Fe hotel, with all the spontaneous romance of an elopement, we offer several wedding options. Our General Manager, Jennifer Wilson Hoback, is certified as an ordained priest from the Universal Life Church, approved as a legal endorsement by the County Clerk of Santa Fe, New Mexico.


A ceremony catering to all the senses at the outset of your journey together – sight: a long lingering eyeful of each other, your first mutual gaze as husband and wife; smell: fragrant local piñon wood incense burners scenting the courtyard; sound: native American wind chimes lend a  natural accompaniment to the ceremony; taste: a special toast for the bride and groom; touch: the soft velvety sensation of the sage bouquets holding each of your rings.

The Blanket ritual is a beloved part of Native American culture – an The Inn of the Five Graces makes it a memorable part of your Santa Fe elopement: two blue blankets are wrapped around the shoulders of both bride and groom, symbolizing the separateness of their past lives.  After their marriage has been blessed, they are draped with a single large white blanket to signify their happy union.  The Inn of The Five Graces will have the blanket elegantly monogrammed and sent to you once you have returned home as a married couple.

In this symbolic candle-lighting ceremony, the bride and groom light their own small candles, representing their distinct backgrounds and values.  Then together, the couple lights a large single candle symbolizing the union of their lives; the flames of the two smaller candles remain   lit to signify that although they are now one, they are still each unique individuals.
