Jaclynn Madrid(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 The venue was absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing as well. However, the banquet manager Rebecca was a nightmare to work with. Our wedding was on Saturday September 17, we were scheduled to have our rehearsal on Thursday the 15th during 4-5 pm. I asked Rebecca what would happen if we went over in time and she said we couldn't because there was another party having their rehersal at 5 that day but we could move ours to 6:30 if we were worried about going over. So we did. She emailed me the week before the rehearsal to ask us to move our rehearsal AGAIN because the 5 oclock party needed more time. I told her we couldn't because we had a rehearsal dinner planned after. We were expected to accommodate someone else's wedding rehearsal because Rebecca double booked the rehearsal times. When I stood my ground about not changing our time she acted like she was doing us a favor by getting her other party to stay in the time frame they had already been scheduled for. She was extremely rude and treated us like we were some second class citizens, even after we spent almost $20k at this establishment. It all around put a damper on our whole experience.

Camille Sanchez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2019 Prairie Star was the perfect venue for our wedding day. It was nothing short of perfect and Rebecca ensured everything ran so smoothly. The food was amazing, the guests could not stop talking about it! On top of everything, this venue provides views that will leave you breathless. If I could do it over, I wouldn't change a thing!!

Monica Roybal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-09-2017 This venue is awesome! From the backdrop of the Sandias to the food, everything is amazing! Rebecca was responsive to all my questions along the way and her and the staff went above and beyond on our special day. Our guests commented how nice everything was especially the food. I highly recommend to anyone. Reviewed on 13-09-2017
Molly Lappin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2016 Rebecca, the event coordinator at Prairie Star, was an absolute professional. She flawlessly executed the event for us, and even helped us get kegs of our favorite local beer! We were able to do the outdoor/indoor event that we were hoping for and transformed the lawn near the ceremony into a space for lawn games and lounge area. The food was delicious - far beyond what I was hoping for with a buffet style reception. This venue have wonderful views of the Sandia Mountains and blew away all of our out of town guests.

Chelsea Lehman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2016 We had our wedding here and it was perfect!! Rebecca was so helpful and she thinks of everything! We had a rain delay and the whole staff was so kind and rearranged the tables under the tent so we could have the ceremony under the tent but still have the mountains in the background! Everyone was so helpful! The food was amazing!! We received so many compliments on the food! And the view is unreal! The biggest selling point for us was the perfect view of the Sandias! We loved everything about this venue! Reviewed on 24-09-2016
Shelby P(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2016 I had my ceremony and reception at Prairie Star last weekend and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff was so kind and helpful. We had rain during the first hour, when the ceremony should have been going on, but once it stopped, the staff got our there and wiped down the chairs to begin the ceremony. The food was delicious and the bartenders did a great job. The entire staff even stayed 30 minutes late so that we could continue the reception a bit longer. The coordinator, Rebecca, helped us stay calm during the rain delay and kept everything else running smoothly. This venue has the most gorgeous view of the mountains. No other venue like this is ABQ!

Alyssa Mohon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2014 We ran into some major issues with our venue and ended up moving our ceremony/reception to Prairie Star only TWO WEEKS before the big day. They were WONDERFUL! They made everything so easy and worked with us to make everything perfect. In only a couple of weeks, they pulled everything together, and our day was absolutely perfect. I loved everything about the venue, and everyone was raving about the food; many people told us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! We loved this venue and would recommend it to anyone who is getting married. Reviewed on 22-10-2014
Jessica Garruto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-05-2013 Motivated by a last-minute venue change, we visited Prairie Star and instantly fell in love with the mountain vistas and charming adobe restaurant. We were excited to be able to hold our wedding ceremony outdoors, under the spreading tree that perfectly framed the unobstructed view of the Sandias. Our reception in the banquet area of the restaurant was perfect as well, with plenty of space for our band, dancing, dinner and mingling. The chef worked with us to create a perfect NM-styled buffet, and Rebecca, the special-event coordinator was incredibly easy to work with and made sure our evening went smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! Reviewed on 11-06-2013
Travis Conlin(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-09-2012 they were great not one problem that night the food was really good every one told me it was the best wedding food they have ever had... , the view was amazing it made the best wedding pics. this place was a little more money then a hotel but well worth it.

Michelle Patton(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2011 I really loved this place from the moment I saw it! The ceremony can be held outdoors under a beautiful tree with a backdrop of the mountains which is what we did. Then we had our reception inside. The room is a bit small but it works perfect if your having a smaller wedding like we did. The food is also really delicious! We had the steak/chicken buffet and everyone really enjoyed it! The only reason I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5 was because it did happen to rain during our wedding so we didnt quite have the backdrop of mountains we were hoping for. But luckily it did stop long enough for us the have the ceremony outside. But I would still recommend this place :) Reviewed on 18-08-2011
Rachael White(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2011 Prairie Star offered picturesque views, an amazing food spread, and an elegant, relaxed atmospher. Catering was great! All food was prepared well and displayed beautifully. As a first time bride, I was very nervous regarding how things are normally set up by a wedding party, timelines, decor suggestions and did not receive a lot of feedback from the director. The entire staff, director included, was very courteous and professional. The venue is divine! Reviewed on 22-06-2011
Micela House(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2011 Great location, Rebecca is organized and to the point. Beautiful scenery for ceremony and excellent indoor room for reception Reviewed on 09-06-2011
