The short answer: we're built for 40 at the table
We host weddings of up to 40 guests seated, or 80 standing, and we do it one way: you take the whole house. That means all six of our suites, for at least three nights, with room for 12 of your people to sleep under our roof. The rest of your guests stay elsewhere in town and come through the moon door for the celebration.
It's a small wedding by design. There's no ballroom here and no second event running down the hall. For three days the courtyard, the rooftop and the staff are yours.
How a wedding day here usually flows
Most couples use three spaces, in this order:
- The ceremony and cocktail in our courtyard. This is the center of the house: the pools and jacuzzi, the lemon trees, and the double Chichimeca staircase rising above the water. Vows are said at the foot of it more often than not.
- A sit-down dinner on the rooftop. Up to 40 guests at the table, above the rooftops of Zona Centro.
- Back down to the courtyard for the party. Once dinner is done, everyone comes downstairs to dance until the evening closes.
You don't have to follow that order. It's simply the one that makes the most of the house. The courtyard is lovely this time of evening, when the lanterns on the staircase come on, and that's usually when couples want to be in it.
On the day, our hospitality staff and house manager are there alongside you and your planner from setup to the last guest out.
What the buyout includes, and what it costs to hold a date
A wedding here starts with a buyout of all six suites for a minimum of three nights. The buyout includes the right to host at least one event at the property, so a welcome party, the wedding and a farewell brunch can all happen in the same place.
On top of the rooms:
| Item | What we ask |
|---|---|
| Minimum stay | All 6 suites, 3 nights |
| Event fee | $2,000 USD |
| Food and drink minimum | $6,000 USD |
| Deposit to confirm | 30% of the buyout and food and drink quote |
| Second deposit | 70% of the food and drink cost, due 30 days before the event |
| Booking window | 12 to 14 months ahead |
| Menu tasting | Book 72 hours in advance |
| Seated capacity | 40 guests |
| Standing capacity | 80 guests |
| Overnight capacity | 12 guests (6 suites, double occupancy) |
Room rates for a buyout are set by contract, separate from our usual nightly rates, so we'll quote them with your dates.
Food and drink: what our events menu looked like
Our catering prices below come from our April 2024 events brochure, all plus 18% service. Ask us for the current menu when you write, since a lot can change in a year in a kitchen.
- Hors d'oeuvres: 6 pieces per person for $25 USD, or 10 pieces for $35 USD.
- Family-style dinner: two options, $70 USD or $85 USD per person, minimum 20 guests.
- Late-night sliders: $6 USD per person, minimum 20 guests.
- Open bar, per person for two hours: basic from $40 USD, standard from $60 USD, premium from $80 USD.
Family-style suits a table of 40 well. Platters get passed, people talk, nobody waits on a plated course.
The house rules for celebrations
We're a small hotel on a quiet street in the historic center, and the rules below are what let us host a wedding here at all. Please read them before you fall for the courtyard.
- Timing. Events finish by 12am, and vendors are out by 1am. On the wedding day you have a 12-hour window for setup and breakdown.
- Sound. Music stays under 55 decibels from 4pm to 10pm, and under 50 decibels from 10pm to 1am. Think a string trio or a good playlist, not a full band with amplifiers.
- Permits. The municipality requires permits for weddings, events and loud music. Fees are set per event.
- Not allowed. Fireworks, fire shows, wishing lanterns, confetti and small plastics.
- Weather. The garden in particular has limited cover from wind and rain, so plan a little shelter into your design.
- Stairs. We have no elevators, for structural reasons, and dinner on the rooftop means stairs. Tell us early if anyone in your party needs help moving through the house.
- Age. We only welcome children 12 and older in the hotel.
What you bring, and who we can introduce you to
Our venue rate covers the house, not the production. External vendors, ceremony items, music, decor and extra lighting are all yours to arrange. If you don't have a planner yet, we can suggest professional local planners who know how the house works.
Getting your guests here
Your guests will most likely fly into one of three airports. Querétaro (QRO) is about 1h20 by road, Bajío (BJX) about 1h40, and Mexico City (MEX) about 3h30. We can arrange SUV transfers with our transportation partner from any of them; for the 12 people staying with us, Let's arrange that for you as part of the plan.
The town itself does a lot of the work. We're in the historic center of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city Travel + Leisure named No. 1 in the world in 2024. Guanajuato is an hour away and Dolores Hidalgo half an hour, if your guests want a day out before or after.
Before you write to us
Have three things ready: your preferred dates (12 to 14 months out), a rough guest count for the dinner, and whether you want the welcome party and brunch here too. Write to events@namronhospitality.com and we'll check the calendar. Take your time, there's no rush here; a wedding this size is better planned slowly.
We were glad to be featured in The Wedd Book in August 2024, and we'd be glad to have you.
