The venues on Net Zero Ranch’s list across Santa Fe, Taos and Northern New Mexico — private estates and ranches, museums and galleries, retreats and gardens — and what each kind of venue allows.
Santa Fe · Casa Estrella del NorteThe Asado needs live wood fire on site. Museums and galleries: never — choose the Charro or the Micro Event.
No kitchen is fine. Our outdoor kitchen setup brings the tent, lighting, power and a hot-water sink.
Ask whether the venue allows an outside caterer, and what its own vendor list requires.
Vacation rentals and Airbnbs need the owner’s written consent to host and to have us cook on site.
Each venue sets its own rules — check yours before you sign.
Private estates and ranches are where the Asado shines: our grill chefs cook over live wood fire on site. The Charro and the Micro Event fit here too. Hosting at a vacation rental? We ask for the owner’s written consent.
No live fire at museums or galleries. Here we serve the Charro, smoked off-site by our local smokehouse partner and brought in hot, or the Micro Event.
Retreats and gardens each set their own rules for fire, kitchens and outside caterers — ask before you sign.
No. We never cook live fire at museums or galleries. There we serve the Charro, smoked off-site by our local smokehouse partner and brought in hot, or the Micro Event.
Yes. We just ask for written consent from the property owner, confirming they are happy to host the event and to have us cook and serve on site.
Field, backyard or open mesa — add our outdoor kitchen setup. Our standard is a 20-by-20-foot wind- and rainproof tent with sides, lighting, power, a hot-water sink and a dry floor.
Weather is part of how we design your event: tenting or a covered fallback where the setting calls for it, coordinated directly with your venue.
We bring the whole meal and its service as one continuous, food-safe operation — no outside caterers or vendors, including outside small bites. Your dessert and wedding cake come from our partner professional wedding cake baker in Taos, or a baker Net Zero Ranch has approved. Ask your venue whether it allows an outside caterer before you sign.
