Luna Escondida has quickly become an iconic wedding venue in San Miguel de Allende. I’ve been working with their teams as a wedding collaborator and consultant. I’m totally biased when it comes to my opinion of this beautiful venue. However, once you step inside, you’ll quickly realize that my words and the beautiful photos you’ve seen don’t do justice to this gem of a place.  

Luna Escondida is a 33–acre ranch that remained completely private up until 16 months ago when it became open to the public. When you walk through the gardens, the stables, the homes and all of the event areas, you feel how every little detail has been taken care of with attention and love. As a wedding designer, this place is the ultimate ideal canvas to work with.  

What makes this place so unique?  

The spaces  

From the main entrance, the organic farm and the conservation pounds, to the 30-year-old olive grove, the stables and the overall architecture, the ambiance at Luna is quite special. The vision of its owners is for you to feel at home, as if you were hosting your wedding in your own private yard. Now, I must admit that my own yard doesn’t look at all like Luna, but I totally get it! Couples who have celebrated their destination wedding have shared that they felt as if the ranch were an essential part of their love story.  

3 beautiful homes at your disposal  

When you choose the buyout option at Luna Escondida, you gain access to 3 newly renovated homes. Luna can accommodate up to 24 people in total. Each home has its own style and privacy. There, families can really enjoy the weekend and spend quality time while also having a private place to rest and restore.  

Amazing curated gardens 

One of Luna’s distinctive features is the Hummingbird area. The style and inspiration behind it were Monet’s gardens in France. A short walk through its tunnels and magical areas allows you to envision a beautiful ceremony.  

Vendors’ area 

Luna Escondida offers a designated vendors’ area with easy access to bathrooms, water, and showers. This is the ideal space for vendors to gather, florists to work prior to the events, waiters to go on short breaks, etc. When you see this from the vendors’ perspective, this space is awesome! Most places don’t offer this area, and if they do, it is rarely large enough, or even shaded.  

Beauty salon 

Villa Andrea, one of the homes at Luna, has a small and private beauty salon area. Beautiful natural light and a mini kitchenette for tea make it, in a few words, the perfect getting ready spot when you don’t want all your aunts and friends crowding your room.  

Exclusivity & Privacy   

Luna Escondida ensures your privacy. This means that no other event will be held during your wedding, even if the space allows for it. Thus, you can rest assured that nobody will randomly walk into your event.  

The Staff 

When you rent Luna, its services include: security staff, valet parking, housekeeping and a chef (as breakfast is included). Members of the staff at Luna work all year round, and they have been working for the owners for more than a decade. These are dedicated, committed and professional people who will be delighted to be part of your wedding.
