All-Inclusive Venue in Taos
Upscale New Mexico Weddings
Welcome to The Stakeout — a legendary Taos hideaway where mountain views, historic architecture, and modern amenities set the stage for your wedding. Just 15 minutes from downtown Taos, our hilltop venue offers exclusive use of our indoor and outdoor spaces, seating for up to 250 guests, custom menus from our kitchen, and day-of coordination.
Come for the vows, stay for the view… and maybe the mezcal.
Our hilltop Mew Mexico wedding venue offers a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that are as flexible as they are unforgettable. Host your reception in The Salon, with its floor-to-ceiling mountain views, vintage Saltillo tile, and modern fine art touches — or in the Tent Annex if you’re going big. Every space is yours to style, whether you’re leaning into bold Southwestern color or keeping it minimal to let the landscape do the talking.
For quintessential New Mexico ceremonies, the Bell Terrace steals the show with panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the ringing of our namesake bell.
If the weather turns, we’ve got you covered with beautiful indoor options that keep the celebration seamless, from cozy adobe fireplaces to the warmth of the Fireplace Lounge.

“Truly Amazing”
“The Stakeout is an incredible venue! It is gorgeous and the views are awesome. The food by Chef Angelle-Leigh was truly amazing and they were so accommodating to my mother in law who is disabled and to my wedding guests who have dietary restrictions. The staff is very professional and attentive.”

“Unforgettable”
“James and Cecilia were the best wedding coordinators we could have asked for; they were patient, knowledgeable and extremely flexible throughout the two years of planning. The food was fresh and served by gracious staff, James anticipated any need of ours, and the day was truly one we (and our guests) will never forget.”

“I booked The Stakeout sight unseen and was blown away!”
“My husband and I were married at the Stakeout in August. The entire experience exceeded my wildest dreams for my wedding. The whole staff is lovely and made my family feel right at home. I booked the Stakeout sight-unseen, and was blown away by how perfect the space is for a wedding. From the cozy bridal suite to the deck and outdoor bar, from the gorgeous indoor bar to the cozy seating area, and the gorgeous farm-style dinner tables, I was in love with the whole vibe. The Stakeout’s chef lives up to her fantastic reputation. I couldn’t get enough of the tomato and melon salad, turkey legs in mole, and all the other snacks, sides, and sweets. Many employees on site ensured our night went off without a hitch, and they were so lovely it honestly felt like they were one of our guests. We can’t wait to visit for our anniversary and enjoy more beautiful nights on Outlaw Hill.
