Casa Cinco Patios is a magnificent, historic private home located right in the vibrant heart of San Miguel de Allende’s historic center. True to its name, this venue features five distinct courtyards, each offering a unique ambiance, connected by beautiful colonial architecture, arched walkways, and stunning details. Known for its intimate luxury, versatile spaces, and prime location, it offers a perfect setting for couples dreaming of an elegant, sophisticated, and quintessentially San Miguel destination wedding with the convenience of being steps away from the town’s attractions. This venue provides a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor rooms and patios, privacy within the bustling center, and historic charm, making it a top choice for a stylish celebration.
As a dedicated event venue, Casa Cinco Patios offers the rental of its exquisite property for a specified period, providing the framework – the multiple courtyard spaces, indoor rooms, getting-ready areas, and essential infrastructure like restrooms and potentially a dedicated area for caterers. It serves as a luxurious backdrop. Couples have the flexibility to bring in their own curated team of vendors, from caterers and florists to musicians and decorators, allowing for a highly personalized and sophisticated wedding experience. While Casa Cinco Patios provides the stunning location, the full event coordination, staffing (beyond basic venue support), rentals (tables, chairs, linens, etc., unless explicitly packaged), and all culinary aspects are managed separately through chosen suppliers and a wedding planner.

Is This Venue Right for Your Wedding?
Casa Cinco Patios is an exceptional venue for couples seeking an intimate, luxurious, and perfectly located setting within the historic center of San Miguel de Allende. If you dream of a wedding featuring stunning colonial architecture, charming courtyards, and a sophisticated atmosphere, all within walking distance of the town’s magic, this venue is an excellent choice. It’s ideal for couples who desire privacy and elegance for a medium-sized guest list, the flexibility to curate their vendor team, and a seamless blend of beautiful distinct spaces for ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing.
The venue’s key highlights include its five unique and beautifully designed courtyards, exquisite colonial architecture and interiors, prime location in the centro, versatile indoor and outdoor spaces (including terraces and salons), and the intimacy offered by a private home rental. Perfect for a romantic, elegant, and centrally located San Miguel wedding.
How Does a Wedding at Casa Cinco Patios Work?
Planning a wedding at Casa Cinco Patios typically involves:
Booking the Venue: Securing your desired date by signing a contract and paying a rental fee for the exclusive use of the property for a specific duration (often 24 hours or a multi-day package). The venue provides the physical space and potentially some basic infrastructure.
Hiring an External Wedding Planner (Essential): Crucial for a venue rental model. Your planner is responsible for designing, budgeting, sourcing, hiring, and managing *all* other vendors and logistics that are not included in the basic venue rental (catering, rentals, decor, music, transportation within town, timeline, guest communication, etc.).
Selecting and Contracting Caterer: Food and beverage are typically handled by an external caterer, often from a list provided by the venue or one approved by the venue. This involves separate menu planning, tasting, and contracting.
Vendor Coordination: Your planner coordinates access, setup, and teardown for all vendors working at the venue. The venue has specific rules, especially regarding access times, noise curfews (critical due to central location), and use of facilities like the kitchen.
Renting Equipment: Tables, chairs, linens, tableware, lighting, staging, dance floors, lounge furniture, etc., are typically rented separately through your planner and rental companies.
Guest Accommodation: Guests arrange their own accommodation within the historic center of San Miguel de Allende, as Casa Cinco Patios is a private venue rental, not a hotel with a room block. Its central location makes this very convenient for guests.
The process gives you flexibility and control over your vendor team and design but requires comprehensive planning support to bring all the pieces together seamlessly within this multi-patio space.
Best Months to Get Married
The prime season for weather in San Miguel de Allende is during the dry months, from late October/early November through April/early May, ensuring optimal conditions for utilizing Casa Cinco Patios’ beautiful courtyards, terraces, and open-air spaces. The rainy season (May-September) often brings afternoon/evening showers, which requires careful planning for courtyard ceremonies/cocktails and a robust backup plan, utilizing the venue’s charming indoor or covered patio areas.
The Basics of Wedding Planning (Venue Rental Model)
Casa Cinco Patios operates as a Dedicated Event Venue Rental, with wedding arrangements typically structured as follows:
Guest Stay Options: Guests arrange their own accommodation in San Miguel de Allende’s historic center or nearby. Casa Cinco Patios is a venue rental, not a hotel.
Wedding Planning Structure:
Venue Rental Fee: A fee is paid for exclusive use of the property for a set period (e.g., 24 hours). This fee covers the space itself and basic facilities but typically little else in terms of staffing, F&B, or rentals.
External Vendor Model: You contract *all* key services separately – catering, rentals (tables, chairs, linens, etc.), decor, music, photography, transportation (within town if needed), etc.
Catering: Handled by an external caterer, usually from a list provided by the venue or approved by them. This is a separate per-person cost.
Planning: A full-service external wedding planner is essential to manage the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors within this historic, multi-patio venue and navigating central San Miguel logistics. The venue manager focuses only on the property itself.
Additional Costs: Venue rental fee, catering (per person), all external vendors (planner, decor, music, photo/video, rentals *beyond basic venue inclusions*), guest travel & accommodation (off-site), airport transfers (BJX/QRO), optional hosted events (welcome party, brunch) at Casa Cinco Patios or elsewhere, legal/religious fees, personal items, tips, permits if needed (especially for street closures if planning a Callejoneada).
This model offers immense flexibility and customization but requires a strong planning team skilled in executing events within San Miguel’s historic core.
Who Pays for a Destination Wedding?
Cost allocation generally follows traditional wedding standards for a venue rental model:
- The couple typically pays for:
- Venue Rental Fee.
- Catering costs (per person).
- External Planner fees (Essential).
- Contracts for all external vendors (photo, video, music, decor, rentals, officiant, etc.).
- Guest transportation *to the venue* on the wedding day (if needed, e.g., from hotels a bit further out in the centro).
- Optional hosted events (welcome party, brunch) at Casa Cinco Patios or elsewhere.
- Their own travel and accommodation.
- Legal/religious fees.
- Personal items.
- Guests typically pay for:
- Their flights to Guanajuato International Airport (BJX) or Querétaro International Airport (QRO).
- Their accommodation booking elsewhere in San Miguel (most likely within or near the historic center for convenience).
- Local transportation in San Miguel for non-wedding events (though walking is very possible from this location).
- Any F&B not included in hosted events.
- Optional extras (tours, shopping, dining in San Miguel).
- Wedding gifts.
Venue Capacity and Guest Accommodations (Historic Centro Home)
Casa Cinco Patios offers a more intimate capacity, primarily across its beautiful courtyards and interconnected rooms:
Event Capacity: Comfortably hosts intimate to medium-sized weddings (e.g., 50 – 150 guests), utilizing its multiple patios, terraces, and elegant indoor salons.
Event Locations: Multiple beautiful and versatile options include:
Five Unique Courtyards (Patios): Ideal for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or smaller dinner/lounge setups, each offering a distinct atmosphere.
Terraces: Rooftop or upper-level terraces may offer city views and are great for smaller gatherings or cocktail hour overflow.
Indoor Salons & Rooms: Elegant rooms suitable for getting ready, intimate dinners, dancing areas, or as a weather backup.
Layout Flexibility: The interconnected patios and rooms allow for a beautiful progression throughout the event, guiding guests through different “scenes” for ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and dancing. Careful planning is needed to manage flow in potentially narrower passageways between patios compared to expansive gardens.
Accommodations: Casa Cinco Patios is a private venue rental and does NOT offer guest accommodation on-site. Guests must arrange their lodging in San Miguel de Allende, most conveniently within the historic center at hotels, rental homes (casas), or other properties. Its central location means many guests may be able to walk to the venue or take very short taxi/rideshare trips.
Ceremony and Reception Logistics (Historic Centro Coordination)
Logistics at a historic, multi-patio venue like Casa Cinco Patios within the centro require intricate external planning:
Venue Navigation: Guiding guests through the interconnected patios and rooms requires clear planning for the event flow, potentially needing signage. Your planner will design this guest journey.
Vendor Access: Located on a potentially narrow street in the center, vendor load-in/load-out requires precise timing and coordination with the venue manager and local city regulations. Truck access may be limited. Setup across multiple distinct patios and rooms demands detailed planning for power distribution, lighting, sound systems, and rental placement (tables, chairs, bars, dance floor) tailored to each space’s unique dimensions and restrictions (e.g., historical preservation limits). Everything except the raw space must be brought in.
Setup: Planning setup across multiple separate patio and indoor areas is complex. It requires detailed coordination with the venue and vendors for access times, space allocation, and adherence to any historical property rules. Ensuring smooth transitions for staff and services between the distinct spaces is key.
Guest Transportation: Guests are staying off-site, mostly within the historic center. While many guests may walk or take taxis/rideshares directly to the venue, coordinating transportation *for* the wedding (e.g., recommending local taxi services, potentially arranging limited shuttles from key hotel areas) is helpful. Transport *back* at the end of the night is also important. Airport transfers from BJX/QRO (1.5-2 hours) remain guests’ responsibility to arrange or can be facilitated by your planner.
Location: Its location *in the very heart of the center* is a major advantage for guest access to SMA’s attractions, but presents unique challenges for vendor logistics (street access, parking) and noise restrictions.
What’s Included in the Venue Rental Fee?
Inclusions for a venue rental like Casa Cinco Patios are typically limited compared to a hotel package, focusing on exclusive access to the property:
- Grants exclusive use of the property (multiple courtyards, terraces, indoor salons) for the contracted time period (e.g., 24 hours or a specific event block).
- Includes access to basic facilities like restrooms and potentially getting-ready rooms.
- May include basic power and water access points suitable for a residential-style property, but likely requires external power/AV rentals for full event needs.
- Includes basic on-site venue representative for property-related matters (access, rules, security).
- Often includes a required venue cleaning fee.
- May have restrictions on guest count, type of event, layout changes, or historical preservation limits.
Common exclusions (which you must source and pay for separately): All Food & Beverage (catering, staff, bar), *all* rentals (tables, chairs, linens, tableware, glassware, tents, specialized lighting, sound systems, staging, dance floor), all decor & florals, all entertainment (music, performers), all staffing beyond basic venue security/access, full event planning & coordination, guest accommodation, guest transportation (airport, within town), legal/religious fees, permits (if required for street impact or late hours/noise). Note that due to the multi-patio layout, extensive rentals (multiple bars, sound systems, lighting in each distinct area used) can add up.
Obtain a detailed venue rental contract outlining the exact inclusions, permitted use of spaces, time limits, rules (especially strict noise curfews in the centro, vendor access limitations on historic streets), and required cleaning/security/damage deposit fees.
Backup Plan for Outdoor Ceremonies (Indoor Salons & Covered Patios)
Casa Cinco Patios typically offers elegant alternative indoor or covered spaces for weather contingencies within its structure:
Indoor Salons/Covered Patios: The venue’s beautiful indoor rooms or permanently covered patio areas can serve as sophisticated alternatives for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or reception dinners if needed.
Patio Flexibility: The multiple patio layout means you can potentially shift spaces, utilizing a more covered patio or transitioning into indoor rooms earlier than planned. Tenting might be possible in some patio areas but can be complex and costly in limited or uniquely shaped spaces within a historic home.
Planner Coordination: Your external planner will be responsible for the logistics of executing the backup plan, coordinating with all vendors (rentals, decor, etc.) for necessary setup changes across the venue’s different rooms and patios.
Ensure your contract confirms the designated backup spaces and discuss the logistics, feasibility, and timing with your planner and the venue manager well in advance.

Payment Terms and Cancellation Policies
Payment terms involve multiple contracts typical of a venue rental model, especially for a high-demand centro location:
Venue Rental: An initial deposit (often 50% or more) is required immediately to secure the date, particularly for prime dates. The final balance is typically due closer to the event date (e.g., 60-120 days prior).
Catering: Deposits and phased payments are separate from the venue fee, based on the caterer’s contract terms. Final payment is typically based on the final guest count.
Other Vendors: Each key vendor (planner, rentals, music, etc.) will have their own deposit and payment schedule as per their individual contracts.
Cancellation Policy: Venue contracts for sought-after properties in the centro have strict cancellation clauses with significant, non-refundable penalties, potentially losing deposits or more depending on the timing. Vendor contracts also have their own cancellation terms. Comprehensive wedding insurance covering cancellation and liability is essential.
Coordination: Venue Manager vs. External Planner
Understanding the crucial support system for a venue rental wedding in the historic center:
Casa Cinco Patios Venue Manager: Your primary contact for all things *related to the physical property* – access to the venue, understanding strict venue rules (especially noise curfews, vendor access limitations on central streets), ensuring basic facilities (restrooms) are functional, and potentially being present during the event for property emergencies. They do *not* manage your timeline, coordinate external vendors beyond property access, oversee detailed setup/teardown across multiple patios/rooms, or handle any guest logistics beyond access to the property itself.
External Wedding Planner (Highly Recommended/Essential): Provides personalized, comprehensive planning for the *entire wedding experience*. This is absolutely vital for a venue rental in a complex location like the centro. Manages overall design vision for distinct spaces, budget, sources, hires, and coordinates *all* external vendors (catering, rentals tailored to each patio, florists, musicians, photographer, videographer, transportation logistics within town), creates detailed timelines for the full wedding weekend (including off-site events), coordinates guest communication (travel tips, transportation options within town), manages intricate logistics of bringing everything into and setting up across the multi-patio venue, oversees setup and teardown within tight constraints, handles crisis management, and acts as your advocate and on-site manager for all aspects, bridging the gap between the venue’s basic offering and a flawlessly executed event. Their expertise in central SMA logistics is invaluable.
Dietary and Menu Restrictions (External Catering)
Handled by your chosen external caterer:
Catering Provider: All food and beverage is exclusively provided by an external caterer that you contract separately. Casa Cinco Patios likely has a list of preferred or required caterers experienced in working within the constraints of this type of historic central venue (e.g., potentially limited on-site kitchen space requiring extensive off-site prep).
Menu Customization: Offers high flexibility. You work directly with your chosen caterer to design a bespoke menu tailored to your preferences, style, and budget. Tasting sessions are part of the catering process.
Dietary Needs: Your chosen caterer will handle all dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, etc.) as communicated by you and your planner. Discuss all needs in detail with your caterer during menu planning. Be mindful of the caterer’s logistical needs within the venue’s setup (e.g., kitchen access across multiple patios).
Music and Entertainment Restrictions (Strict Centro Policies)
Entertainment policies at Casa Cinco Patios are heavily influenced by its location in the historic center and local noise ordinances:
Style: Welcoming to a range of entertainment suitable for its elegant setting, from classical musicians in the courtyards to live bands and DJs. However, the *location* dictates *when* and *where* certain types of music can be played.
Curfews/Noise: As a venue located directly amidst residential properties and other businesses in the historic center, Casa Cinco Patios (like most centro venues) has very strict noise curfews for amplified outdoor music. This is typically around 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM at the absolute latest, mandated by city regulations. Music must **always** transition to a fully enclosed, sound-insulated indoor space (if available and suitable for dancing) for later hours. Volume must be carefully managed throughout the evening to avoid issues with neighbors and authorities. Discuss specific timing and location restrictions for music with the venue and your planner *very* early.
Vendor Policies: Standard venue requirements for professional external vendors (insurance, access protocols, setup/teardown times within centro constraints). Your planner will coordinate this. Ensure power and potentially additional soundproofing needs for bands/DJs playing indoors after curfew are met by your rental/AV vendor.
Parking and Guest Logistics (Centro Location)
Logistics for guests are simplified by the central location, but vendor logistics are complex:
Airport Transfers: Guests arrange transport from BJX or QRO (approx. 1.5-2 hours) via private shuttles or taxis, or this can be facilitated by your planner.
Accommodation: Guests stay off-site in San Miguel, most likely within or very close to the historic center.
Transport to Venue: Many guests staying in the center may be able to walk to Casa Cinco Patios. Others can take short, inexpensive taxi or rideshare trips within the centro. Planning transport *for* guests is more about providing clear directions, potentially arranging limited shuttle points within the center, and coordinating taxis *from* the venue at the end of the night. It’s less about long-distance shuttles compared to venues outside of town.
Parking: Parking directly at Casa Cinco Patios is likely **extremely limited or non-existent** for guests due to its location on a central, historic street. Vendor parking/access is also a major logistical consideration for your planner. Guests should plan to arrive via taxi, rideshare, or walking.
City Exploration: The major advantage of Casa Cinco Patios is that guests are immediately immersed in the heart of San Miguel’s historic center, with easy walking access to attractions, restaurants, shops, and other activities throughout the wedding weekend.
Total Cost Breakdown (Venue Rental + External Vendors – Centro)
For an estimated wedding of 100 guests at Casa Cinco Patios (reflecting a typical capacity for this type of venue):
Venue Rental Fee: $10,000 – $30,000+ USD (Depending on season, day, and duration of rental, reflecting its prime location and historic prestige).
Catering (Food & Beverage): $130 – $350+ USD per person ($13,000 – $35,000+ for 100), includes food, beverages, service staff, and basic catering rentals (plates, cutlery, glasses from caterer). May be slightly higher due to logistical complexity in a historic home kitchen.
External Wedding Planner: $8,000 – $25,000+ (Essential, especially one experienced with centro logistics).
Rentals (Tables, Chairs, Linens, Lighting, etc.): $9,000 – $35,000+ (Can be higher than a single open space due to needing items/lighting/sound for multiple distinct patios and rooms).
Decor & Florals: $12,000 – $45,000+. (Leveraging the architecture reduces some needs, but intricate decor for multiple spaces adds complexity).
Music & Entertainment: $5,000 – $18,000+ (Must factor in potential for multiple music setups for different areas/times, and costs for indoor setup after curfew).
Photography/Videography (Luxury): $6,000 – $15,000+.
Guest Transportation (Within Centro, e.g., shuttles from key points or taxi coordination): $500 – $3,000+ (Less than out-of-town venues, but still useful).
Contingency, Service Charges (Catering 15-20%+, Vendor Staffing), Taxes (Venue & Vendors), Permits: $9,000 – $30,000+.
Total estimated *event* cost (paid by couple) typically ranges from $72,500 – $261,000+ USD for 100 guests, reflecting the premium venue rental, the need for full external vendor teams expertly navigating a central historic property, and comprehensive planning for a luxurious, multi-space celebration.
Splurge vs. Save
Save: Book a mid-week or off-season date, choose a simpler per-person catering menu with a more limited bar, focus rentals on core necessities for the main reception patio, use the venue’s inherent architectural beauty as the primary decor, hire local musicians suitable for the courtyard settings, limit hosted events to just the main wedding day, and strictly adhere to venue hours and noise curfews. Utilize taxis/walking instead of arranged shuttles within the centro.
Splurge: Rent the venue for multiple days for a full wedding weekend experience (welcome party in one patio, brunch in another), select premium catering menus and top-shelf open bar packages, invest in custom lighting design to highlight the architecture in each patio, bring in high-end furniture rentals and extensive florals for multiple distinct spaces, hire renowned bands or DJs with proper sound systems for the indoor party after curfew. Provide arranged transportation for guests within the centro at the end of the night. Work with your planner to obtain any necessary street permits for unique arrivals (e.g., a Callejoneada ending at the door).
Venue & Catering Inclusions
Key components based on venue rental and separate catering contract, specific to a central historic home:
Venue Rental Fee includes: Exclusive use of the property (multiple courtyards, terraces, designated indoor salons/rooms) for set hours, basic facilities (restrooms, getting ready rooms), basic venue representative. May include some basic power access (verify capacity for event needs). Access limitations and strict rules apply.
Catering Contract includes: All Food & Beverage service (catering, bar, service staff) based on selected menu/package, often basic catering rentals (plates, cutlery, standard glassware) and kitchen equipment/staff. Caterer must be experienced in working within the potential logistical constraints of a historic home kitchen/service areas spread across patios.
Exclusions (must be sourced separately): All event planning & coordination (essential!), *all* rentals (tables, chairs, linens, specialty glassware, any tenting, all lighting *beyond basic property lights*, sound systems *for all areas*, staging, dance floor – *beyond what the caterer provides*), all decor & florals, all entertainment (music, performers), specialized or upgraded services, guest accommodation, guest transportation (airport, within town), legal/religious fees, any necessary permits (noise, street impact). Soundproofing/AV needs for indoor dancing after curfew are crucial exclusions to plan for.
Verify all details in your separate venue rental contract and catering contract(s), as well as contracts with other key vendors. Pay close attention to vendor access times and setup/teardown schedules dictated by the venue’s central location and rules.

Activities for Other Days (Guests Staying in SMA)
Guests staying in San Miguel de Allende (off-site from Casa Cinco Patios) are ideally positioned to enjoy the town’s offerings, as the venue is right in the heart of it all:
In San Miguel Centro (Walkable/Short Taxi): Guests will be steps away from the iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, El Jardín main square, world-class art galleries and artisan shops, vibrant markets (Ignacio Ramírez, Artesanías), sophisticated rooftop bars with stunning city views, renowned restaurants, and cooking classes. Exploring on foot is the primary way to experience the centro.
Off-Site (Day Trips – Require Transport): Guests can easily arrange day trips via taxi or tour operators to nearby thermal hot springs (La Gruta, Escondido Place), explore local vineyards and wineries on the Ruta del Vino, visit the historic town of Dolores Hidalgo Cuna de la Independencia Nacional, or explore the botanical garden (Charco del Ingenio). Your planner can help coordinate group tours or provide recommendations.
Three Practical Tips for Brides
Hire a Planner Experienced in SMA Centro Venues Immediately: For a venue like Casa Cinco Patios, a planner with proven experience in San Miguel de Allende’s *historic center* is absolutely essential. They understand the unique challenges of logistics (vendor access, street regulations, noise curfews) within the centro, are skilled at designing events across multiple distinct spaces within a historic home, and can expertly manage the complexities of a venue rental model in this specific context. Hire them as one of your first vendors.
Embrace the Courtyards and Architecture: Casa Cinco Patios’ charm lies in its distinct courtyards and beautiful colonial architecture. Work with your planner and design team to leverage these spaces for different parts of your event. Design a guest journey through the patios, highlight the architectural details with thoughtful lighting, and use the inherent beauty of each space as a foundation for your decor rather than trying to build over it.
Plan for Noise Curfews and Transitions: San Miguel centro venues have strict noise curfews for outdoor music. Discuss this reality early with your planner and band/DJ. Plan for a seamless transition to an indoor space for late-night dancing if you want the party to continue past the outdoor music cutoff. Ensure the indoor space is suitable for your guest count and that sound/lighting are adequately planned for that area. Clear communication with guests about the party transitioning is also helpful.
Two Bride Reviews
“Getting married at Casa Cinco Patios was a dream come true! We wanted a true San Miguel experience, and being right in the heart of town was amazing. The five courtyards provided such beautiful, unique backdrops for every part of the wedding – the ceremony in the main patio, cocktails by the fountain, dinner in another patio, and dancing inside later. Our planner was a rockstar, navigating all the details in the centro and making sure everything flowed perfectly. Our guests loved being able to walk home after the reception.” – Sofia R.
“Casa Cinco Patios was the perfect blend of historic charm and sophisticated elegance for our wedding. The architecture is stunning, and each patio felt like a hidden gem. It was incredibly convenient for our guests staying in the centro. While the noise curfew for outdoor music was a factor, our planner helped us design a fantastic flow that transitioned the party indoors seamlessly. It felt incredibly personal and intimate, a truly unforgettable celebration in the most beautiful setting.” – Isabella M.
My Final Thoughts as a Wedding Pro
Photographing a wedding at Casa Cinco Patios is a captivating experience. The multiple courtyards offer incredibly diverse backdrops within a relatively compact footprint – from sun-drenched patios with vibrant flowers and fountains to shaded, intimate corners and elegant indoor rooms. The colonial architecture provides beautiful lines, textures, and framed views, offering endless opportunities for creative compositions. My focus here is on capturing the intimate moments within these distinct spaces, utilizing the unique light and shadow play in each courtyard, documenting the guest journey as they move through the property, and highlighting the architectural beauty that makes this venue so special. Challenges include managing light changes as the event progresses through different patios, navigating vendor activity in potentially tighter historic spaces compared to large open areas, ensuring coverage across multiple distinct locations simultaneously, and coordinating with the timeline transitions, especially the move indoors for dancing. Casa Cinco Patios is perfect for couples seeking sophisticated, intimate, and visually rich wedding photography that celebrates the historical beauty and unique spatial dynamics of a premier San Miguel de Allende centro home.
