This is entirely up to you the hotels we suggest are on the “travel” page. We are staying at the Hilton, but are aware it is on the higher end for pricing for a Sedona hotel, so we also listed Sedona Summit Resort as a more affordable option. Sedona Summit and The Marriott in Sedona are both closest to the venue but are furthest from the Hilton we are staying at. We most want you to find a lodging option that best fits your needs and budget.
Whenever you can. If you wish to do the Saturday sunrise hike we highly recommend you stay in Sedona Friday night. If you’re coming up for the ceremony only then Saturday may be a good option for you. Depending on how far you’re traveling it is also possible to do as a day trip. We will be in Sedona both nights so regardless when you arrive/leave we have many opportunities for you to spend time with us.
The ceremony location is pet friendly but pets MUST be leashed. I intend to bring my dog Gypsi along. Please know that Gypsi is typically dog neutral but I would not list her as dog friendly, so if you bring a dog please don’t bring them with the expectation that you can turn them loose to play.
