Washington Ranch

Set among more than 4,000 acres in southeastern New Mexico, Washington Ranch offers a distinctive venue for weddings, group gatherings and business events. Its landscaped grounds, ponds and outdoor spaces provide a relaxed setting for celebrations, while the ranch’s historic character gives events a sense of place away from a conventional hall.

Organisers can choose from several indoor spaces, including an atrium with tropical plants and a water feature, a conference centre with a lounge area and kitchen, and a dining hall. Indoor and outdoor seating is available for groups of up to 160, with tables and chairs provided as part of group packages. The conference centre and atrium can also be booked separately for meetings, seminars and training sessions.

Wedding bookings are available as one-day or three-day packages. The longer option allows time for set-up and clearing away, and includes accommodation in selected rooms. The ranch also provides a range of overnight options for groups, including motel rooms, cabins, dormitories and a bunk house, with capacity for around 100 people across the property. RV and tent camping are available by reservation.

For larger gatherings, food service can be arranged for groups of more than 15 with advance notice. On-site activities include human foosball, a gaga pit and a tennis court, offering extra options for retreats and group stays. The property is also home to supported living residences, so visitors are guests in a shared environment. Event organisers can contact the ranch to discuss dates, spaces and the facilities best suited to their plans.
