Wedding Weekend: We have an exciting weekend of wedding celebrations planned! We recommend arriving in Sedona by early Friday 9/18/25, and departing late on Sunday 9/20/25, to make the most of the wedding festivities and your time in Sedona.

Flight

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

If you’re flying into Arizona, we suggest booking your flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. While Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is geographically closer, flights tend to be more expensive, and rental car availability is limited and unreliable.

Rental Car

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

3400 Sky Harbor Boulevard, Phoenix, AZ 85034
 

Rideshare (Uber, Lyft) and taxi services in Sedona are extremely limited. To ensure you have the flexibility to explore the stunning red rock scenery on your own and to come and go from our events as needed, we highly recommend renting a car for the weekend!!

FAQs

If we missed any questions in this line-up please feel free to text either the bride or groom and we will get back to you as soon as we can!
Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love your littles; our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception will be adults only (18+). We hope you take the opportunity to enjoy a "parent's weekend away"!

Question

Can I bring a "Plus One"?

Answer

Due to limited capacity of our venue, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, or were invited as a family, your invitation will be addressed accordingly and further shown in the RSVP section of our website here. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Dress Code?

Answer

For our evening wedding, we are requesting a Formal Dress Code. Please take this chance to whip out that outfit you have "nowhere to wear" as overdressed is always better than underdressed! For men, this is suits or button down shirts and dress pants, tie optional. For women, floor-length gowns, elegant cocktails dresses, or dressy jumpsuits are great. This link will take you to a great article that outlines the different attires: https://www.samialynn.com/bridal-blog/dresscodes Keep in mind, there will still be Arizona sun & heat in September in Sedona; averaging about 84 degrees for the time of year. Please note! Our wedding party will be in Terracotta (a burnt orange/copper tone) and either Dusty or Navy Blue (light and dark blue) so, please refrain from wearing these colors and of course, refrain from wearing shades of white.

Question

What time should guests arrive?

Answer

Please arrive to the Agave of Sedona venue (1146 W. State Route 89A Sedona, AZ 86336) by 4 pm. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 pm.

Question

Can I Uber to & from the venue?

Answer

Rideshare apps are not the most reliable in Sedona. While it may appear that you can order a ride, this isn't always timely or accurate. For your planning purposes and ease of mind, a rental car is the best option for the weekend!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Sedona offers a range of beautiful accommodations, from luxury resorts to cozy vacation rentals. We recommend staying at one of the following hotels, Mid level pricing, close to the Agave: Sky Rock Inn Sky Ranch Lodge Arabella Courtyard by Marriott Sedona Los Abrigados Resort (Hotel Block link under Travel & Lodging) More high-end hotels, close to the Agave: Ambiente L'Auberge de Sedona Amara Resort The Cliffs at L'Auberge For those opting for an Airbnb or VRBO, we suggest choosing a property on Sedona’s west side (accessible from State Route 89A) for the best access to wedding activities and local attractions. Traffic along the 179 Highway can be very heavy on weekend afternoons in Sedona.

Question

Is the wedding indoor or outdoor? Where can I park?

Answer

Both! Our gorgeous venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces, with indoor restrooms. The venue does have a private parking lot to accommodate guests, with about 80 spots total. There will be no change of venue, so you can plan to be at the Agave from start to finish.

Question

Can we post photos of the wedding online?

Answer

Our ceremony will be "un-plugged" as we want to respect our photographer and make sure no one's arm/phones are blocking her shots or ringing over our vows. While we ask you to please silence and hide your phones then, we would love to see all the fun our guests have throughout the rest of the night!! Please share with us online and be sure to tag the bride.

Question

What time will the reception finish?

Answer

The venue strictly requires all guests to be out of the space by 10 PM.

Question

What meal options are available for dietary restrictions?

Answer

If you know Dylan and Darbi, you know we are big foodies! So our menu will not be restriction specific, but it will be very diverse in hopes everyone is able to enjoy.

Question

What if I can't make it?

Answer

We will be missing you! If you cannot make it for the wedding, please RSVP "no" so we are made aware. The sooner we know, the better we can plan ahead.

Question

When should I RVSP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by no later than August 1, 2026. If you forget to RSVP before then, plan to bring a lawn chair and sandwich with you. JUST KIDDING! However, this helps us finalize all details with our wedding vendors and ensures everyone has a night to remember!

Question

Who do I reach out to 'day of' for help?

Answer

While we will be patiently awaiting seeing all our favorite people, we want to be as in the moment as we can on our wedding day. Please reach out to the Maid of Honor or Best Man if available, or to our Coordinator Casey Green for assistance or questions! Casey Green 602-448-8133

Sedona Things To Do

Sedona has our hearts, and we hope it will have yours too. Here is a sample of what the area has to offer. Please take a look through Sedona's official travel site as well to find your niche activity! https://visitsedona.com/

Oak Creek & Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Drive (Hwy 89a)

West Fork Trail, Oak Creek Canyon, AZ 86336

Oak Creek is best viewed at the West Fork Trailhead, but if you are feeling adventurous there are tons of access points to discover along Highway 89A! Swim, fish, or simply take in the views. The 15 mile drive itself is also considered to be one of America's most scenic routes due to the red rocks the area is famous for. This is Darbi's personal favorite Sedona thing to do.

Fay Canyon Trailhead

Fay Canyon Trail, Sedona, AZ 86336

Difficulty: Moderate; Length: 2.3m; Est: 51m - Halfway through the Fay Canyon Trail, you can veer off to see the Fay Canyon Arch. Continuing on the Fay Canyon Trail will bring you to a short climb to see the breathtaking canyon! (Also where Dylan proposed so maybe we are biased..) Enjoy!
