What is your plan for COVID-19?

​

Last update - Aug 10, 2021

​

With the rapidly improving COVID-19 situation, we are planning for our wedding to be on! We are very fortunate that most of our family, loved ones and friends have been vaccinated.

 

The Delta-variant has given us pause on how to be handle it with our wedding. This is a constantly changing situation and we are going to do our best to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time. We want to give you as much information as we can to help you make the right decisions to ensure you and your family are safe. 

We are expecting 45 guests. 

We know at least 95% of our guests are fully vaccinated. It could be more, but some of you didn't share on social media. :) 

All events, the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors

We will not be requiring any of our vaccinated guests to wear masks

​

We understand there is some risk involved with spreading the Delta-variant and becoming infected if you are vaccinated. To minimize this risk, we ask that you follow CDC prevention guidelines leading up to the wedding to help protect our most vulnerable guests. 

​

We do recognize and respect everyone's comfort level is different, so please let us know if you have any concerns or feedback. 

​

Will the wedding and reception be indoors or outdoors?
​

The wedding and reception will be fully outdoors at Red Agave Resort.

​

What's the wedding dress code?

​

Dressy casual. Please remember it will be Arizona in August, so it will be warm during the days and comfortable and cool in the evenings. Consider packing a light jacket for after sundown. 

With our wedding being outdoors and virtually everyone is vaccinated, we will not be requiring our guests to wear masks. 

​

Can I take photos/videos during the ceremony?

​

We kindly ask that you leave the photography to the professionals during our wedding ceremony. No restrictions for reception.
​
When do I need to RSVP by?

​

Please RSVP online by July 18, 2021. 

​

What might I forget to pack?

 

You should plan on packing hiking shoes/boots, a water bottle, sunscreen and swimwear. It can drop down to the low-60s in August in the evenings, so consider bringing a light jacket as well.

​

Where do you recommend we take a hike?

​

Hiking is by far one of the best activities you can do in Sedona! Before planning any hike, you will need to purchase a Red Rock Pass. You can buy a daily or weekly pass at any Circle K convenience store. Do NOT stop at any Tourist Information Center - these are high-pressure sales people selling timeshares. 

​

Here are some recommended hikes:

  • Devil's Bridge - 2-3 hour | One of the most popular hikes and well worth it to see the large arch at the end. Mix of sun and shade so go early. Expect some crowds here. 

  • Cathedral Rock - ~1 hour | Another very popular hike. Mostly sun. We plan on hiking this as a group on Saturday

  • Airport Mesa - ~2 hours | Generally level hike with some of the best views of Sedona. One of the best places to watch the sunrise and sunset. Very sunny. 

  • West Fork Canyon - 1-4 hours | Shaded out-and-back trail in the West Fork Canyon. Level grade following the creek into a deep and dramatic canyon. Good option for a hot day. Tip: pair this with Slide Rock State Park

  • Bell Rock - 1-2 hours | Hike up to the top of Bell Rock. More difficult hike as you climb up, be prepared to use your hands. We plan on hiking this trail on Thursday morning. 

  • Soldier's Pass (optional with Brin's Mesa loop) - 1-4 hours | See the Devil's Kitchen and the Seven Sacred Pools on this hike. You can see the highlights on Soldier's Pass which is an out-and-back. We like to add on the Brin's Mesa Loop which takes up the mesa with stunning views. Mostly sunny hike with significant elevation change. 

​

There are dozens of other trails in Sedona you may want to explore. We have not been on a disappointing hike. 

​

What if I don't want to hike?

​

We understand hiking may not be for everyone, or you may be looking for other things to do. Here are some suggestions to fill your time:

  • Tlaquepaque - Cute art and shopping district directly in the center of Sedona. Fun place to explore and grab a drink

  • Chapel of the Holy Cross - Visit Frank Lloyd Wright's beautiful church built into the red rocks of Sedona

  • Scenic drive north on 89A - Travel north from Sedona up highway 89A. Personally one of the most beautiful drives we have been on

  • Scenic drive south on 179 - If you are coming from Phoenix you likely came in on highway 179

  • Montezuma's Castle - Visit a thousand-year-old Native American city built into the walls of a canyon

  • Pink Jeep Tours - Take an off-road tour of Sedona's sights in the comfort of an open-air Jeep

  • Spa Day - From classic to new-age spas, there are plenty to select in Sedona

  • Explore Crescent Moon Ranch - Great place to see Cathedral Rock and take a swim in the Oak Creek

  • Day trip to the Flagstaff or the Grand Canyon

  • Day trip to Jerome, a historical and ghostly mining town

  • Vortex and UFO tours - "I want to believe" you'll have fun on these tours
