wedding and reception sites
There are many advantages to having a destination wedding. First of all, the fact that you and your family and friends are all away from home can create a much more relaxed environment. Going to another destination can also help you have a more intimate wedding, since not everyone will be willing or available to travel. Finally, you can save on décor, since most destination wedding locations come with breathtaking scenery at no extra charge.
The good news is that you and your guests don’t have to spend a fortune to fly to an exotic location to realize your dream of having a destination wedding. Since you already live in a beautifully diverse state, you won’t have to travel far to feel like you’re a world away from home.
In fact, you can find your ideal destination right here in Arizona, no matter what kind of setting you’re looking for. Sedona, just two hours north of the Valley, is world famous for its amazing red rock vistas and idyllic waterfront setting on the banks of beautiful Oak Creek. The opportunity to have stunning wedding photos taken here is well worth the trip. Plus, a Sedona wedding can give your guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a side trip to the Grand Canyon to experience the beauty of one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
If mountains and cool pine forests are more your style, you may want to head east to the White Mountains to find your perfect venue. The area is known for its spectacular views from high up on the Mogollon Rim, not to mention its cooler summer temperatures.
The natural beauty of the high Sonoran desert in southern Arizona can also offer a spectacular setting for your destination wedding. Tucson is ringed by five mountain ranges and offers a choice of luxury resorts, ranches and inns. Or, you may opt for the charm of Tubac with its fascinating history that dates back to the 1700s.
No matter which scenic Arizona setting you choose, your true destination will be the very happy moment you both say “I do”, surrounded by family and friends.
