Are catering and AV included in event venues quotes?
It varies. Some Ruidoso event venues bundle in-house catering, AV, and event staff into the rental. Others operate venue-only and let you bring preferred vendors. Each listing notes its model when claimed; for un-claimed listings, ask in your quote and venues will detail what's included.
