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!!

Here are all of the vendors that contributed their most amazing talents to making this dream wedding come true!

Spectacular Engagement Shoot!

Planning a wedding in the next year or two? If so, and you haven’t considered an engagement shoot, now is the time to think about it! In the hustle and bustle of the wedding planning process, the engagement shoot can often get overlooked. However, it is actually one of the most intimate and delightful ways to get away, just the two of you, enjoy each other among the inviting red rocks of Sedona, and make memories that will last a lifetime!

To give you an idea of what this experience can look like, we wanted to share with you a recent engagement shoot that we just absolutely adore! This particular shoot was an adventure, but even if you’re not into scaling the heights that you see in these photos, Sedona offers many absolutely stunning backdrops that take only a few minutes to access.

Christine and Eli’s engagement shoot was as exciting as it was romantic. This handsome couple had no problem hiking up the back side of Cathedral Rock to the Saddle, one of the most popular adventure locations for engagement shoots and elopements. And you can see why—the Saddle and surrounding landscapes are truly among the most stunning that Sedona has to offer!

Of course, in order to have the shoot be a success, you must have top-notch photography! Sedona Bride Photographers are just that. Their skill, combined with their genuinely caring and easy-going personalities, make their “Authentic, meaningful, moment-driven photography” an experience that will bring a smile to your faces long after the experience has ended.

AND, if these photos aren’t exactly your style, we have MANY other highly-skilled photographers at our fingertips, waiting to capture your most heartfelt moments together. We will spend time getting to know you, and will work with you until we find a photographer and style that are the perfect fit for you!

We also wanted to give a shout-out thanks to Sedona Beauty Team, who did a test run for Christine’s hair and makeup.

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do, and look forward to talking with you soon about setting up your personalized engagement shoot!

Native Ceremony, Simple & Sweet!

Meet Anne and Aaron, a super-sweet, down to earth couple, who did their wedding day on their own terms, and we loved it! They spent their wedding day eve camping out right here in Sedona, and we’ve included below the photo they sent us as they enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

From Anne’s unique floral wedding dress, to their turquoise wedding rings, to their bare-footed Native American ceremony, this celebration was a distinctive expression of Anne and Aaron’s relationship from beginning to end!

This was the wedding of our dreams and you both [Susan and Jennifer] made it come true! We wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you so much for working with Aaron and I on such short notice! We will definitely be back to visit again…and with our newest addition, our baby!  
–Love, Anne and Aaron

Thank you, Anne and Aaron, for these kind words, and we can’t wait to meet your new wee one–come back soon!

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!

Princess Bride & Her Prince Charming

We were so excited when Shay and Greg’s wedding day finally arrived! Susan Perry had the honor of marrying this dear couple on an absolutely gorgeous fall day in Sedona. Shay reminded us of an elegant princess, with her spectacular dress and accessories, and Greg couldn’t have been a more charming groom!

Their wedding day began at the Sedona Creative Life Center’s Peace Garden Gazebo, and ended at their Chapel. The ceremony actually took place out on the red rocks of Huckaby Trail, so they combined different locations to come up with their perfect wedding day! JReece Photography captured classic and unique moments throughout, and took advantage of the soft lighting as the red rocks popped just before sunset, to memorialize the ceremony for years to come.

Our own Jazi Kidd was the Day Of Coordinator, supporting Shay and Greg, as well as their family and friends, as the day unfolded.

Thank you so much, Shay and Greg, for choosing us to help make your Fairytale wedding dreams come true! May your relationship, home, and family be graced with delightful grins and giggles, and extraordinary happiness always!

Mr. & Mrs., Country-Style!

From Christina’s very first email to us, we knew how sweet she was, and we were super excited to help plan her wedding! Christina and Jordan came all the way from the UK with their closest family and friends to tie the knot country-style with their ceremony out on the red rocks of Sedona, and the reception they planned themselves at M Diamond Ranch. As you can see, all of the elements of their dream wedding came together, including breathtaking red rock views, a beautiful sunflower bouquet, the coolest country music, a horseback ride, and a casual BBQ reception as the sun was setting. The photos tell the story better than we can, so scroll down for a peek into Christina and Jordan’s lovely wedding!

High Desert Romance

Natasha and Maris were married just prior to sunset, facing a backdrop of breathtaking panoramic terra cotta-colored vistas, in the High Sonoran Desert at Dry Creek Vista. The sacred Native American-style ceremony was performed by Mario Black Wolf, a Medicine Man from the Mechica-Apache Tribe. Our gorgeous, spirited couple picked out their own Native American blanket, which became part of the ceremonial service that would transform them from bride and groom to husband and wife. Bonnie Miller’s expert photography caught the light just perfectly, as it softly streamed through this life-changing event.

Natasha’s airy bouquet was created by Sedona Fine Art of Flowers, and was laced with baby’s breath, eucalyptus and soft white flowers. Anthony Flesch enhanced the ambiance with the melodic tones of the Native American flute.

With closest family and friends and their large and small Doberman Pinschers by their sides, they bowed their heads, laughed and celebrated, this day that would be unlike any other in their lives.

We invite you to set aside a moment to take in the stunning beauty of Natasha and Maris, and their extraordinarily unique wedding day.

“May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.”
— from an Apache Blessing

Congratulations, Natasha and Maris!

A Converse & Pearls Wedding!

We invite you to step into the delightful world of Alissa and Mitch, and their fun-loving wedding day! This couple really did it up their way for sure, complete with a full array of Converse shoes for themselves and their whole bridal party! The wedding took place at the spectacular Sky Ranch Lodge, and the spirit of this light-hearted couple was captured perfectly by Jess and Genie of Birdsong Photography, from the beginning of their preparations, to the moment of their sweet First Look on the bridge over the Koi Pond, to their final honorary toast!

Alissa chose bright yellow and white flowers for her bouquet, and these cheery theme colors were splashed throughout the wedding by Flowers Unlimited. Their casual Mexican dinner feast was provided by the professional staff at Tortas de Fuego, topped off by the always delicious cupcake treats created by Marla Hutchison. Verve Events and Tents supplied the rentals for this perfect setting.

Downtown Browne accented the ceremony and dinner with their musical talents, until a thunderstorm hit. Not surprisingly, our husband and wife didn’t miss a beat! They took the party to their rooms, including all of the cupcakes that we swooped up just before the downpour, and the celebration continued, energized by the raindrops and their brand new joining!

“Rain or shine, I’m yours forever!”

Happiness Always, Alissa and Mitch!!

A Southwestern Celebration!

The Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, located in the heart of Sedona, provided the perfect ambiance for Megan and Darren to join their hearts together! We were happy that they chose us to provide our “Day Of” services for their wedding, so they could be free to thoroughly enjoy each and every moment of the day!

Megan and Darren had an awesome time, as you can see from the stunningly creative photos by Addie Mannan Photography. Their special day was filled with an exquisite blend of gentle moments, emotional exchanges, mischievous expressions and gleeful celebrations!

Splendid flowers were provided by Bliss Extraordinary Floral, and at the center of them all was Megan’s unstructured crescent-shaped bouquet, abundantly filled with orange dahlias, white lilac, deep orange peonies, orange ranunculus, light orange garden roses and Queen Anne’s Lace. Megan chose the popular Sedona Beauty Team for her hair and makeup.

Megan and Darren’s lives became as entwined as the bright green ivy vines that arched overhead. They exchanged their loving vows while friends and family happily gave their support to this marriage.

And then it was time to make merry at the reception! The festivities were enjoyed by all, as the evening ended with dancing under the stars.

Megan and Darren, we thank you for inviting us into your incredible day, and we bid you a final farewell, as you continue to transport the joy from your wedding day into all of your future endeavors!

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!

Sacred Native Nuptials

Our adventuresome and strikingly handsome couple, Cecilia and Thomas, became husband and wife high above Sedona proper, at the magnificent Merry Go Round Rock! Bon Miller Wedding Photography caught it all, as the excited bride and groom and their guests traversed the winding, bouncy road in jeeps provided by A Day in the West, to this truly one-of-a-kind setting. Native American Medicine Man Mario Blackwolf, from the Mechica Apache tribe, performed the sacred ceremony, with the smell of sage dancing on the wind, and Oman Ken’s Native American flute music filling the vistas with an ancient spiritual melody.

Upon their return to level ground, they landed at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa. As their guests enjoyed an inviting cocktail hour at Timo Restaurant, our newlyweds snuck off for a few more photos down by the creek. When they rejoined their party, they glided elegantly into their First Dance. Cecilia and Thomas then tipped their glasses together in celebration, as they  appreciated their unique cake, the topper being a whimsical expression of the moment that they met—on an airplane!

We send warm and happy wishes to you, Cecilia and Thomas, for a marriage graced with an exciting and romantic road that never ends!

 

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!

Cowboy & Cowgirl Get Hitched in Sedona!

cody-clayton-1You just can’t get any more romantic and down-to-earth than Cody and Clayton’s elopement at Merry Go Round Rock! Complete with cowboy hat, boots, a jeep and dizzying red rock vistas, this wedding was any country western couple’s dream. Cody’s bouquet reflected her sweet and spunky spirit, and Clayton was as charming as his bright blue eyes!

Our planning brought together the following vendors to make sure the day went off without a hitch (pun intended!):  Long time Sedona officiant Anthony Flesch, Sedona Fine Art of Flowers added splashes of color, A Day in the West provided a wild ride, Taryn with Love My Life Photography created photos filled with heart and style, and it wouldn’t have been legal without Alexandra of Weddings In Sedona happily adding her signature as a witness.

“When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love.
I want to love you like that forever.”
–Country Artist, Chris Ledoux
