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.

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!
