October is well-regarded as a perfect wedding month, especially in destinations like Sedona, Prescott, Scottsdale and Tucson, where the average sunset time is around 5:45pm, and evening temperatures are in a comfortable range of 55 - 70° F. In the latter half of the month, when temperatures are significantly cooler, October still presents a valuable opportunity to hold a memorable outdoor/indoor ceremony and reception at some of swankiest golf courses, hotels and resorts. We've lined up some of our favorites, whether you're planning an elopement or quickly approaching wedding date this fall, or next spring, summer, or the year after.
Here are two of our top Sedona weddings picks:
El Portal Sedona Hotel is a boutique hotel, perfect for a Sedona destination wedding. The luxury inn's beautiful, romantic central courtyard has a dramatic backdrop of towering red rocks that is the perfect spot for a small wedding. The inn also features a spacious great room that can serve as the perfect room for an intimate reception.
The Segners' Ranch Country Estate is an enchanting place for a larger wedding; up to 150 guests can enjoy this special day on three acres bordering Oak Creek. From casual to extravagant, this country estate is a beautiful place for a wedding. Whether you're looking for a barbecue or five-course dinner, El Portal can make all the arrangements.
Creekside Inn at Sedona is the choice for romantic, private, creekside weddings for 20 to 150 guests. With exclusive use of this bed and breakfast's inn and its two acres of lush grounds, with winding paths leading to Oak Creek, the Creekside Inn is the ideal backdrop for exchanging your vows in front of your closest friends and family. Creekside Inn can accommodate weddings and receptions from intimate elopements up to a full reception, with flexible options for reserving just a honeymoon stay in one of the enchanting Victorian style rooms, or renting the entire inn for a larger affair.
We've selected the following wedding venues for their spectacular scenery, practical amenities, renowned service, flexible meeting and ceremony spaces, timeless style, and a range of price points from moderate to luxury.
