Welcome to The Stakeout at Outlaw Hill, a legendary Taos hideaway once frequented by desperados and outlaws like Billy the Kid and Dennis Hopper.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I'm always inspired by breathtaking environments, and The Stakeout does not disappoint. With its million-dollar views and magical sunsets, it's no wonder New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment. Perched atop a hill, The Stakeout is a hidden gem offering stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling French doors that lead from the dining room to the back terrace. This venue is a one-stop shop, providing everything from an exquisite chef with diverse food options to incredible mixologists crafting perfectly curated drinks. They also offer decor and A/V add-ons to complete your wedding experience. If you're looking for an elevated high desert wedding, I highly recommend The Stakeout. They truly exceed expectations.

Los Portales 

5.0

Anthony, NM
  • Up to 130 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $6,900

Los Portales is an event venue near El Paso, TX built in 1932. It is an adobe building with history in the vineyard area of the upper valley of the Rio Grande, along the old route to Mesilla, also known as Don Juan de Oñate route. Initially it was a women’s club in the 40’s and 50’s, a place of reunions, politics and community center. Later, it became a church for over 20 years. After the church moved out, it was abandoned for many years. Now it re surges after extensive remodeling, taking into consideration its historical value, the structure of the building and authentic antique value, as a new option for intimate family events, in a rustic and country feel for any event.

On the day, their beautiful, elegant and classy venue provided the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. They were so supportive the day before, letting us add extra personal touches to the space. And the day-of, the staff guided us seamlessly through our timeline, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The owners and staff are truly the most understanding, patient and supportive people we've ever worked with - they went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We can't recommend Los Portales enough!
