The team at Verde Canyon Railroad was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was friendly, efficient, and easy, which made planning our special day a breeze. The value they provided was great, with a unique and memorable experience (and amazing photo opportunities). They worked with us to create a customized menu, an adorable welcome sign, and their staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout the event. A special shout out to Ellen who arranged for us to do a “first look” on the train beforehand. Our guests have raved about what a one-of-a-kind wedding we had, and we credit a lot of that to the wonderful team at Verde Canyon Railroad, especially Ellen who was great to work with. We were not a small group —120 people— and they handled us with ease.

As soon as we toured the venue and saw the view of Humphreys Peak from the ceremony location, we were sold. Our experience only got better from there. Alexis Holle was our coordinator, designer, and florist through her company, Holleday Productions. Alexis is an absolute artist. With a few conversation over email and a Pinterest board, Alexis created the perfect vision board. She executed that vision beautifully on our wedding day. I cannot recommend The Arboretum at Flagstaff and Alexis enough!
