Sedona Weddings at Enchantment Resort – The Best Destination for Outdoor Adventures and Red Rock Views
The great American Southwest is a unique region of the U.S. that resonates with those who love outdoor adventures, awe-inspiring scenery, and have a deep appreciation for the natural world. For Sedona weddings, Enchantment Resort is in a league of its own when it comes to being the best destination for outdoor adventures. With 5-star accommodations, world-class dining, luxury amenities, unique outdoor activities, and the most breathtaking red rock views, Enchantment Resort has everything a couple needs in order to create a tailored and action-packed wedding adventure for their guests.
Peak Season for Sedona Weddings
Considering its desert setting, it’s no surprise that peak season for Sedona weddings is during the spring and fall. At Enchantment Resort, most weddings tend to take place during April, May, September, and October.
“The weather is sunny and mild during these months which makes it ideal for couples that wish to celebrate at one of our outdoor venues,” explains Kayla Kudo, Social Sales and Catering Manager at Enchantment Resort. “Spring and fall are great times to hike and bike the 400+ miles of trails in Sedona. Enchantment Resort offers room-to-trail hiking and biking, as well as private, guided experiences led by their Trail House team of expert adventure guides. Enchantment guests also enjoy exclusive access to golf at Seven Canyons, an 18-hole, Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course.”
Even if couples are unable to secure a wedding date during the spring and fall, every season has its own unique beauty which lends itself to Sedona’s iconic red rock landscape. A newly renovated pool makes it even easier to enjoy the warmer months, as visitors can cool down and indulge in craft cocktails and a new pool menu.
“The new pool deck includes an enhanced welcome experience and a dedicated pool concierge to greet you for a relaxing day soaking in the Arizona sunshine,” Kayla adds. “The elevated design and furnishings transform one of the most-photographed settings at the resort into something even more dramatic through a reimagined signature aesthetic. Three new pool cabanas with cozy lounges and special amenities are available by reservation and showcase the iconic red rock views.”
Planning an Enchantment Resort Wedding Itinerary
With so many outdoor adventures and experiences to enjoy, planning an Enchantment Resort wedding itinerary can be overwhelming. Kayla advises couples to narrow it down to two or three planned group activities for their wedding weekend, which allows guests the freedom to explore Sedona on their own.
“This also offers ample opportunities for poolside relaxation and indulging in spa experiences at Mii amo,” she says. “A world-class destination spa located steps from the resort, Mii amo has been voted a #1 Domestic Destination Spa by Travel + Leisure magazine. Acclaimed for its unique ability to nurture personal wellbeing, Mii amo offers body treatments, skin care services, massage, fitness and mindfulness classes, and other specialty experiences.”
Couples can even choose to stay at Mii amo – a perfect “mini moon” option for unwinding after a busy wedding weekend, or an idyllic honeymoon experience in and of itself.
“Mii amo is intimate and secluded among the red rocks and pinyon pines,” Kayla describes, “offering couples a sanctuary to embark on their new beginning and deepen their connection. With unique services like Compassionate Communication and the Connection Ceremony, newlyweds are provided with tools to cultivate their relationship and evolve together as a couple.”
Outdoor Adventures at Enchantment Resort
As Sedona’s premier resort for mountain biking, hiking, and outdoor adventures, one of Enchantment Resort’s most popular offerings is Trail House.
“Trail House serves as an epicenter for all outdoor adventures, offering private, guided tours, bike rentals, and a retail shop featuring outdoor adventure apparel,” Kayla shares. “With access to over 400 miles of scenic trails, a visit to Trail House will help your guests choose which trails are right for you as well as offer private guided experiences including hiking, biking, rock climbing and Grand Canyon tours.”
Trail House at Enchantment Resort also offers guided vortex hikes with guided meditation sessions to help guests connect to that “vortex energy” – a circular movement and energy flow that is believed to enhance spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Couples and wedding guests may be particularly interested in a new experience for 2024, which involves taking guests to four locations: Boynton Canyon, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, and Airport Mesa.
For a more low-key way to take in the beauty of Sedona, the Artist Cottage offers various classes including acrylics, pastels, watercolors, beading, and pottery glazing. These classes are available daily, and give visitors an opportunity to capture the natural surroundings and red rock backdrop while creating a beautiful keepsake to take home.
By night, Sedona transforms into an otherworldly landscape with the most incredibly sky full of stars. So, when it comes to planning the perfect destination wedding itinerary with memorable outdoor adventures, it truly doesn’t get any better than the stargazing experience at Enchantment Resort. Couples and their guests are invited to join Enchantment’s astronomer for a night of stargazing in Boynton Canyon, surrounded by towering red rocks, ancient juniper trees, and an epic high desert landscape. Stargazing experiences are offered complimentary on Tuesday and Saturday evenings, with private tours available as well.
The Magic of Boynton Canyon
Nestled among the red rocks and framed by acres of pristine wilderness, Enchantment Resort provides the most exquisite backdrop for Sedona weddings. There’s a palpable sense of magic in the air, which makes it such a special destination for celebrating love.
“Often times,” Kayla notes, “couples that choose Enchantment as their wedding destination have a strong emotional connection or beautiful memories tied to Sedona or Enchantment Resort specifically. Sedona is renowned not only for its awe-inspiring natural beauty but also for its reputation as an energy center and place of powerful spiritual connection.”
