This Wedding Featured in DC Modern Luxury Magazine!!

We’re so excited to share Shana and Kamal’s stunning photos, and stories of their magnificent weddings! We knew from the start it was going to be an incredibly special wedding day when we got the initial call from Shana saying she and Kamal had their first wedding in Morocco with his family and friends, and that they wanted to have their second wedding in Sedona with her loved ones. Shana’s sweet personality instantly captivated us, and the photos she shared of their Moroccan wedding literally brought tears to our eyes! Shana and Kamal had a uniquely personalized vision of incorporating touches of Moroccan wedding traditions into their Sedona Native American wedding, and it was an honor to provide ala carte services and onsite coordination for their sacred marriage of customs and cultures. Here are some photos of how it all came to life at the idyllic L’Auberge de Sedona and Huckaby Trail!

We’re also thrilled to announce that Shana and Kamal’s wedding was featured in DC Modern Luxury Magazine!! Here is a quote from the article:

“…the lovebirds took over L’Auberge de Sedona, participating in a Native American ceremony from the Havasupai tribe. Guests were welcomed in the traditional Moroccan way with mint tea and dates, then enjoyed seared wagyu filet and truffle risotto during the reception, where Shana serenaded Kamal with a rendition of Terry Clark’s ‘Now That I’ve Found You’.”

A Shining Celebration!

What a blast!! Lauren and Dominic and company kicked up their heels at this wedding of a lifetime at the gorgeous Enchantment Resort!! We were thrilled to see everything come together in such an extraordinary way.  

Even the red rocks had shining golden tips in celebration!! The photos tell the real story, so enjoy!

Here’s what the Bride had to say:

“Susan with Weddings in Sedona was an absolute treasure from start to finish. She is organized, professional, and will go above and beyond to translate your vision into reality. She not only gave me the wedding of my dreams, she helped me plan it and then re-plan it after covid-related setbacks. Because of Susan I had zero stress the day of my wedding because I knew that she had crossed every T and dotted every I well before even the week of the wedding! I could not recommend Susan high enough, and even this review does not do justice to the peace of mind having her on my team brought me. Susan will do everything and more to make sure you have the day of your dreams!”

May you two continue to laugh your way through life, and may you continue to relive all of the moments, large and small, throughout your lifetime, from your spectacular wedding day!!

M & C’s Happily Ever After!

Join us and you’ll see why this wedding has all of the markings of a true fairytale! Michelle and Craig were married a few years ago, but the pictures of their wedding are absolutely timeless. The wedding was nestled among the warm red rocks of Boynton Canyon, at the award-winning Enchantment Resort. 

The ceremony took place at the Wedding Knoll, with leafy green trees above their heads, soft grass beneath their feet, and hanging red roses and white origami blooms as their backdrop. Their closest loved ones were there to witness this oh so romantic scene unfold, as our couple was welcomed with an open aisle lined on both sides with lanterns, bright pink flowers and rich orange leaves.

Romantic shots capture Michelle and Craig in tall grasses enjoying their day of days, and you’ll even see a deer join them for a moment. After the ceremony, an intimate dinner reception was feast for all, including a deliciously unique wedding cake.

Rainbow Blessing

Kelly and Ken’s wedding was brimming with joy–there’s no other way to say it! You can see the total happiness on their faces, and their day even came complete with a rainbow, blessing the occasion! Agave of Sedona provides an idyllic backdrop, as this couple began the day there with Kelly and her ladies preparing for the day in the exquisite Bridal Suite, while Ken and the guys hung out in a cool outside alcove they’ve affectionately dubbed the “Man Cave.” The enchanting ceremony sweetly unfolded on the Ceremony Terrace, and afterwards family and friends naturally flowed onto the covered Celebration Terrace to enjoy the cocktail hour filled with nibbles and libations to delight the palate! And then it was time to move indoors to the Montage Ballroom for a fabulous dinner, followed by toasts, cake cutting, and dancing, with sincere well-wishing and hugs and kisses woven throughout the evening hours!

If you’ve been to many weddings, or actually even just one, you know that each carries its own personality. Kelly and Ken’s was imbued with sincere devotion and an easy laughter that was enjoyed by all–including us!

Congratulations Kelly and Ken, and may your lives be filled with the kind of endless incredible moments that can only be found with your One True Love!!

Each event naturally unfolded into the next: intimate first look, amazing wedding ceremony, stunning red rock photo shoot, easy cocktail hour, delicious dinner, delectable desserts, frivolity at the photo booth, dancing galore, all revealing this couple’s laughter and love, quiet tenderness, and casual delight!

Thank you from the heart for this review–your wedding was a blast!

Gorgeous Gatsby

If ever there was a fairytale wedding, Sarah and Galen’s fits the description perfectly! They chose a Great Gatsby theme at L’Auberge de Sedona: Elegant and chic, and with their meticulous planning, not a detail was overlooked. As you can see from the photos, the wedding was stunning from beginning to end. The love between Sarah and Galen was palpable. Their First Look by the creek was filled with joyous emotion, and was followed by an intimate ceremony up on the SpiritSong Terrace, with stunning views of the crimson red rocks for which Sedona is so famously known.

The springtime garden cocktail hour and reception gathering by the creek provided the opportunity for loved ones to relax and enjoy the lush surroundings and ambiance. The celebration was made even more special, with an exquisite string quartet playing in the background. Birdcages, vases, and the like were filled with fragrant floral overflow, and an abundance of candles and leafy decor graced the tables. This charming couple enjoyed hand-selecting each and every piece, creating a symphony of shimmering charm to the sheer delight of their guests!

Sarah and Galen, we’re grateful to have played a part in your enchanting wedding, and we wish for you a lifetime filled with the kind of enriching moments that you experienced on your one-of-a-kind wedding day!

A World of Magic in Sedona

The enchanted world of Harry Potter served as a bewitching backdrop, as Andrea and Jimmy brought their family and friends together to witness and celebrate their joining. This couple’s joy was palpable, as you can see from the photos, with their laughter woven throughout all of their wedding events! And each event had a different location: their First Look was at A Sunset Chateau, and at the exquisite Agave of Sedona the vows were exchanged on the Ceremony Terrace, the cocktail hour was on the Celebration Terrace, and the reception was in the Montage Ballroom. They even enjoyed a romantic photo shoot at Merry Go Round Rock! Andrew Holman brought his photographic expertise to each shot, guaranteeing memories that will last a lifetime.

The ceremony was graced with unstructured romantic flowers by Bliss Extraordinary Floral, and elegant music flowed from Marion Maby’s violin.

Andrea and Jimmy’s classy Harry Potter-themed reception included a Sorting Hat to guide guests to their seats, with the sign reading: “Catch your key to find your house (seat),” and passages that were turned into paper flowers alongside candles as centerpieces.

From the First Dance, “How You Love Me” to the Last Dance, “Beautiful Now,” Downtown Browne rocked the scene! Reliable and festive Verve Events and Tents supplied the rentals, and our own Susan Perry helped with portions of the planning, and tended to each and every detail throughout the entire day.

Andrea and Jimmy, we are so happy that you chose Weddings In Sedona to partner with you on your special day, and we wish you a great deal of magic and wonder, laughter and love, in all of your future adventures as a married couple!

Tlaquepaque “Best of Everything” Union!

We invite you to take an exclusive journey with us, as we celebrate the marriage of Naomi and Andrew—they came all the way from Virginia to get married in our quaint town of Sedona! We had a blast planning their wedding, and being there on the day itself to watch them infuse their experience with laughter and meaning was truly a gift.

Tlaquepaque lived up to its meaning, “Best of Everything” on the day of Naomi and Andrew’s wedding, a uniquely beautiful backdrop for a uniquely beautiful couple! A symphony of bright flowers adorned the event, as hot pinks and deep purples nuzzled together in bouquets and arrangements bursting with orchids, hydrangeas, anemones, lilies, roses, callas, ranunculus, freesias and stock, all artistically arranged with a “pop of whimsy” by Mountain High Flowers. What a perfect accent to the emerald green dresses Naomi chose for her attendants! Their closest family and friends anxiously anticipated the couple’s arrival, as Eric Miller’s guitar gracefully set the mood with the classic melody of Pachelbel’s Canon in D. At that moment we watched gorgeous Naomi walked down the aisle to meet Andrew, her handsome husband-to-be. The ceremony was performed by our own Rev. Susan Perry, who herself had a hard time keeping her eyes dry!

Then on to the sparkling cocktail hour and stunning reception! Verve Events & Tents set the stage with tables and chairs, specialty linens, dinnerware, and more, creating an oh-so enchanted evening. Filling the plates with delectable fare, and the glasses with luscious libations, was Bonnie Grant and her crew from Rosalie’s of Sedona. The evening was topped off with a simply exquisite lemon lover’s cake with raspberry filling by Marla Hutchison Cakes.

There to creatively capture each memorable moment were top-notch Sedona-based photographers Katrina and Andrew of Sedona Bride. From the casual engagement photos, to the bride and groom “selfie” just after the ceremony, to the quiet moments stolen under an arch made of bricks, and so much more, Sedona Bride was there to capture it all.

Naomi and Andrew were such a joy to work with, that it didn’t really seem like work! They were so loving and inclusive, so responsive and appreciative — what a pleasure! We’d like to take this moment to thank Naomi and Andrew for choosing Weddings In Sedona for their “day of days.” And, we wish you, Naomi and Andrew, a lifetime of delightful experiences, woven together with miles and miles of laughter, happiness and contentment.

Here Come the Brides!

14We were so excited to help our two Sweetheart Brides, Terra and Megan, create their one-of-a-kind wedding day in Sedona! The events began with their First Look, and then they went on to take advantage of the breathtaking red rock panoramic views at Back O’ Beyond. Next, and of course, the highlight of the day, was their intimate wedding ceremony, which they shared with the closest of family and friends. It took place on a carpet of sprawling green grass, in front of a timeless terracotta-roofed gazebo at Poco Diablo Resort. A gorgeous photo session followed the ceremony, graced by a magnificently romantic willow tree, with their loved ones (pups included!) by their side. Terra and Megan’s reception brunch played out immediately afterwards in the ballroom, as their true love was celebrated by all.

Thank you, Terra and Megan, for trusting Weddings In Sedona to weave together your stories, laughter, thoughts, colors, tastes and inspirations, to create your extraordinary wedding day!

Also, a shout out to the professional vendors that helped to bring our special Brides’ dreams to life!
