The Red Agave was the most perfect venue choice for our wedding. From the initial tour of the venue, all of the staff members at The Red Agave made us feel at home. Throughout the planning process they were extremely easy to contact and worked with our vendors to make sure everything was in order for the big day. The weekend of our wedding was perfect. Our wedding coordinator Stephanie and all of the staff made sure everything was perfect for ourselves and our guests. The fact that the majority of our wedding guests could stay on the property was our favorite part of the venue (besides the incredible views!) we were able to spend two whole days with our guests and since most guests were coming from out of town this made everything so much easier! Cannot say enough good things about The Red Agave! Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality! Love Kevin & Mekenna

Don Hoel's Cabins is one of the most majestic places in all of Sedona. My husband and I got married here last year and to say we were happy with how everything turned out is an understatement. Being a bride comes with so much to deal with, the staff here was completely accommodating with not only the venue space but also the cabin accommodations we booked for 2-nights for our guests. They were a pleasure to work with and made sure everything was prepared and everyone had what they needed throughout our time. We are even considering planning a family reunion next year as Don Hoel's has become such a special place to us now!

The entire staff of Creekside couldn’t have more wonderful to work with! They put so much love and care to everything they do and it really shows! My coordinator worked so hard leading up and incredibly hard the day off to make sure everything was perfect! The chef and kitchen staff created a beautiful and delicious meal for the reception. Our party kind of took over the place for three days and they were so sweet to let us use the breakfast room for prep and storage. Every single person there was just absolutely incredible and helped to make our day so special!

We recently celebrated our wedding at Aldea Weddings in the Woods this September, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the process was seamless and incredibly easy, thanks in large part to our amazing coordinator, Jay. She was responsive and made the decision-making process for the little details so effortless. One of the standout features of Aldea was their impressive selection of decor options, much of which was recycled and in fantastic condition. This not only helped reduce stress for us as a couple but also aligned with our values of sustainability. The location itself is absolutely stunning—our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the beauty of the venue and the exceptional service from the staff. It truly felt magical. We were also thrilled with the vendors we chose, all of whom were recommended by Aldea: Four Sister's Floral created breathtaking arrangements, Wil's Grill provided delicious food and service, Tony the Entertainer kept the energy high and was very communicative with us, and Maya Papaya Photography captured every moment beautifully (and had some sweet dance moves). Everything came together seamlessly. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we wish we could relive it all over again! Thank you, Aldea Weddings in the Woods, for making our special day unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin and Josh are so incredibly helpful and make sure that your wedding day runs smoothly. The food was great and the venue is beautiful. The only thing to keep in mind is that these are cabin and can be a little rustic but the beds were comfy, there was AC, and they’re clean! I loved having my wedding here and would definitely choose them again!
