FAQs

Question

How close is the wedding venue to Phoenix?

Answer

Arcosanti is about an hour north of Phoenix off I-17. It’s a bit remote and therefore will require a some planning for accommodations the night of the wedding for anyone who doesn’t plan to drive home. There is an motel option about 5-10 minutes away, but all other hotels will require a further drive. Please make sure to take a look at the travel page for alternatives and plan accordingly.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We want you to be comfortable (but request no t-shirts or jeans) or dress up if you wish! Rumor has it there may be a fairy on sight, so touches of magic are definitely welcome.

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

We love the kiddos but would prefer that anyone under the age of 18 stay home. This will also help us to keep our guest list count closer to our preferred number.

Will the ceremony/reception be outdoors or indoors?

Answer

Both are at the same venue and will be outdoors.

Question

What will the temperature be like?

Question

Can I take/post pictures of the wedding?

Answer

Of course! We simply ask that you stay mindful (no arms, bodies, or cameras in the aisle) so that our photographer can get the clearest and best shots possible. And when posting feel free to use our hashtag #chrisandraeslovefest 💕

Question

Can I bring my LED flow toys?

Answer

We totally encourage anyone in our festival community to bring the fun! Whips, wands, gloves, hula hoops (a handful of which will be provided), poi...whatever you’ve got, bring it!

Question

What else do I need to know?

Answer

There is an area around the back of the amphitheater (where the dancing will take place!) that is perfect for stargazing anytime you need to give your legs a rest! We are encouraging guests to bring pillows and/or blankets to enjoy the night sky and take in a constellation or two.
