Isn’t She Lovely

Good Morning America certainly agrees that Sedona is magnificent. They have chosen Sedona as one of the TOP 10 most beautiful places in America. Their weatherman Sam Champion was here this past week filming and interviewing Sedona people and businesses.
We are very honored that our Shaman Officiant Akal was chosen by the Sedona Chamber to be a featured guest.
They filmed one of his amazing Drum Songs on Airport Vortex at Sunset. So watch ABC and Good Morning America the week of August 8th. And then let your imagination fly and call us soon to book your Sedona Destination Wedding!!

Shamanic Sedona Song

At this Intimate Wedding along the banks of Oak Creek our Shaman Akal serenades the couple with his drum singing solo.

Akal’s drum songs are moving, memorable and once in a lifetime. He creates his song from the energy of the moment. This Song was heard on the Wind for a moment and remains in the heart forever.

Our Shamanic Sedona Package is truly one of a kind!

Native American Flute Song


Having music as part of your Ceremony is a wonderful addition.
The Native American Flute is a southwestern touch. The flute echoes off the rocks and allows you and your guests a moment to pause, breath and contemplate this very special day.
Native American Flute playing is part of our Shamanic Package. You may add it to any of our other packages as well!!

Sedona is for Lovers


Sedona is romantic no matter what species you are.
Here this loving toad couple bask in the warmth of the Sedona Sun and the glow of their love on the Red Rocks.
Even nature reflects the joys of the heart.

Sedona Song

The sound of this Sedona Native American Flute rings off the Red Rocks and vibrates deeply into the Heart.
Music is the language of God. The Native American Flute is a beautiful and lovely addition to your Wedding Ceremony. The Flute song deepens our feelings and its notes resonate forever in our hearts.

Sedona Wedding Witness

The Red Rocks of Sedona hold so many mysteries. Depending on the Light, the time of Day or year there are a multitude of Beings etched in the Rocks.
This majestic Red Rock Totem Bird stood sentinel above us for one Sedona Wedding.

Sedona Wedding Guest

An unexpected guest attended our Valentine’s Day Wedding on the banks of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing.

A duck is a great omen. Ducks mate for life and this handsome male was there with his mate. A very special blessing for the lucky couple.

Ducks also let everything flow off their back. They go with the flow in the Creek of life.

Duck is a powerful teacher. I always say when Quack Quack is headed your way – practice Duck Medicine and DUCK!!

Sedona Wedding Guests


Expect the miraculous in Sedona. You never know who will show up to your Wedding on the Red Rocks.
Everyone loves romance and these beautiful Ravens were no exception.
They circled a Ceremony at Airport Vortex and took all our breaths away.
A true Blessing from Spirit.

Beautiful Sedona


Sedona has been voted the most beautiful place in America. It’s moments like this rainbow over Courthouse Butte that earn Sedona this honor.
Sedona is full of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant Red Rocks, bluer than blue skies. Even a dark sky can yield up a treasure such as this rainbow.
There’s actually never a bad day or wrong time of the year to get married in Sedona. The views change from moment to moment. Photographers love it here – no two pictures are ever the same. The sky even when overcast blankets Sedona in Magic and Mystery.
Sedona is the perfect backdrop for your Sedona Wedding!

Sedona Wedding Ceremony Traditions

There are so many lovely Wedding Traditions that you can add to your Ceremony to add richness, color and express your uniqueness and your love in a fuller manner.

These traditions come from a variety of cultures and historical times.

A very popular one is the Unity Candle and a lesser known one is the Honey Ceremony.
The Hindus have a lovely tradition called the 7 Steps. The Rose Ceremony is a sweet reminder of your Wedding Day throughout your life. There the Hand Fasting tradition from the Druids and the Sand Ceremony which is colorful and leaves you with a daily reminder in your home of your special day and the vows you made. The Hawaiians use Leis and the native Americans use the Wedding Vase Ceremony.

Then there’s the Wedding Pouch Ceremony which is unique to Sedona Destination Weddings. its a lovely little tradition that we created in the Spirit of creating a Sedona Wedding Tradition tradition found nowhere else.
Its a lovely touch to add a Tradition to your Ceremony.

All of these Traditions and more I will share with you in greater detail in the coming Blogs.

Sedona Wedding Sites – the Tipi Temple

The Sedona Tipi Temple is the most unique Wedding Location you will find.
In the shadow of Thunder Mountain this beautiful Tipi Temple is large enough for a party of approx. 20 people. The circle shape echoes the circle of your rings and your eternal love. Inside the Tipi Rises high over your head and has the feeling of a pyramid. The acoustics are amazing and the interior walls are the same magenta hue of the local claret cup cactus flowers. The walls themselves have been filled with crystals during construction which amplifies the energy of this spot.

The Tipi Temple is a wonderful location for our Shamanic Wedding package or at the very least some drumming and singing!!

You can learn more about the Tipi temple at our Tipi Temple Package page.

A Sedona Tipi Temple Wedding is very Sacred and very private. This is a beautiful jewel hidden in the heart of the Red Rocks.

10-10-10

The countdown is on for our 10-10-10 Weddings. People began booking that day last October. It has proven to be the most popular day for Weddings that we and all of Sedona have ever had.
I just read this about the 10-10-10:

What is 10-10-10?
The number 10 represents Rebirth. The triple 10-10-10 of Oct. 10, 2010. Brings in the triggers of completion of jouneys, returns to origins, perfection, fulfillment, the return to unity, and closure for those of us ready (after the wild past 10 months of 2010) to move through another 3D triple Initiatic Doorway or portal/gate and move up another important energy stair step during fall 2010. I suspect that on the immediate other side of the 10-10-10 portal/gate/stair step, we’re going to feel-for a while-much like we did during the very strange Zero Zone phase of December 2009; being deep within another stage of dying, transitioning, and being reborn into a very new level of being. (10 = 0 and 1 energies but at a higher octave of unity.

The part about perfection and the return to Unity might explain why so many couples have been drawn to this day for their Wedding.

Sedona Destination Weddings will be officiating 8 weddings on that day.

We begin at 10 in the morning with Tina and Roger and a powerful Shamanic Ceremony at Red Rock Crossing.

It promises to be a day of Great Celebration and Joy and we get to bask in the love until Sunset!!

I’ll keep you posted on all the high lights of the day.

Blessings
Rev Iala
