Madeleine’s Place Event Center

Madeleine’s Place Event Center originally built as a large ranch is situated in the beautiful Bosque area of Corrales, N.M. and is over 100 years old. The facility was completely remodeled about 10 years ago creating the much larger building we see today.

Madeleine’s Place has multiple space options to fit just about any need you might have… For retreats, or a spiritual or meditative type event we have a Cretan Labyrinth in the back of the property created out of crystal rocks. A lovely tree covered Garden area is particularly inviting for small luncheons, informal or relaxed meetings and can be a beautiful setting for a small wedding ceremony.

Our Great Room and adjacent patio is very popular for larger weddings, meetings, seminars and private dinners providing the flexibility of an indoor/outdoor event up to 100 guests. We have two fire places, one in the Great Room and one in the Reception Room especially cozy on a cold winter day or evening.

Ample parking is provided.
