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!

Sedona Best Man


This is Abner. He played quite a part in a recent Sedona Elopement.
Abner looked quite fetching in his Tuxedo Collar. He gave the Bride away, was the ring bearer. He also thoughtfully sat on her train so she wouldn’t float away in Bliss.
He was a great addition to the Wedding. And he got to have a lovely cool off in the Creek.
Having your Beloved pet at your Ceremony is a sweet touch.

A Happy Bride

I still am in awe of how perfect our wedding was, from beginning to end. There’s really a powerful combo of having time the day before the wedding with Akal to bond with the earth, the vortexes and with our spirits. It sets the stage for the wedding, and a foundation, to build upon with the connections of our spirits and energy that unites a couple in marriage… in perfect harmony.
The comments are pouring in at my blog and Facebook about how beautiful, powerful, and love filled our wedding looks in the pictures, description and video. People are saying their eyes fill up with tears or they actually weep while watching it. Just think if they had been there with us that on that mountain smack dab in the middle of vibrant, powerful, breathtaking action that only being married in Sedona can bring. I can thank Patricia, our photographer, for her energetic, giggling ways that instinctively knows when to snap the moment as if it had been rehearsed a million times. She almost seemed like another Super Hero, “Spidey Girl”; being everywhere at once click….click… finding all the tender, humorous, and big screen drama of our made for TV movie like wedding. Pinch me!! Our wedding photographs are heirlooms.
Thank you, Rev. Iala and Akal for taking our love story and turning it into a cover of a romance novel. Part of me laughs at saying that last statement, and the other part knows we asked the Universe to give us the wedding of our dreams, and then the Universe delivered it to us wrapped in turquoise skies, rich red dirt, Raven filled vistas and a couple in tune with our needs, desires and spiritual longings. Our wedding kicked it, didn’t it?! Oh man, as in Superman and Lille Lane, it sure did!

The Sedona Bride and Groom

After a memorable and beautiful Wedding by the Creek a Sedona Bride and Groom stroll happily and in a haze of love towards their future and their lives together.

Such a gentle, rich and fulfilled moment and one that we are honored to be a part of.

The Wedding Walk

I love the Wedding Walk. The new Mr and Mrs strolling towards their new life together. It’s like the first dance here in Sedona. This one is under the big shade trees of Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing.

The Bride and Groom are always in a happy haze. We did it. We’re married!! Such a joyous walk in such a beautiful place.

This was especially happy because our groom contacted me 7 months before from active duty in Afghanistan!! I prayed for him until the moment he called me state side and said “I’m back, Reverend Iala. And I’m ready to get married.”

I was never so happy to see a Groom in all my life. I am sure his Bride felt the same way.

We like to honor all our men and women in service. That is why we have our 10% Military Discount on all packages.

11-11-11

It’s not too early to begin thinking about 11-11-11 Weddings.
In fact this is a perfect time to book. Especially if you want the 11 a.m. time slot.

We have several packages we are creating for that day and three great Wedding Sites picked out. Red Rock Crossing, Huckabee Trailhead and Sweet Sugar Loaf at the Singing Rock. There are a limited number of Weddings at each location – another reason to plan ahead and reserve your spot and your package!

Each of these locations are breathtakingly beautiful and easily accessible.

I’ll outline the packages in future postings and post them on our website as well.

Many Vendors are charging more for their services that day and the Forestry will insist on shuttles for large Wedding parties so keep that in mind when budgeting for that special day.

We will make it as smooth and stress free and magical as possible for you and your Sedona Wedding.

11-11-11 promises to be a major portal, gateway and opening to a life filled with Love and Happiness – a fantastic day to get married and a magnificent day to get married in Sedona.

Sedona’s powerful magnetic field will intensify the Love and the Joy.

Early November is a lovely time in Sedona. The leaves are vibrant colors adding to the awesome beauty of the Red Rocks.

Stay tuned for those packages – they are coming soon.

Less is More

This photo is of a very ecstatic Ralph and Marcy on their Sedona Wedding Day last September.

Ralph and Marcy are highschool sweethearts with a great story. They went their own way in life and both got married to other people. It was Ralph’s ex-wife of 19 years who found Marcy on the internet and gave her contact info to Ralph!!

They reconnected and have been together ever since.

Ralph took great pains to arrange the perfect Sedona elopement.
He booked our Sedona Memories Package

We arranged the site permit and met him at the Back o’ Beyond Trailhead with a photographer, officiant and one witness. That’s when Ralph and Marcy realized they left their wedding rings back at the hotel.

Thinking quickly our witness fashioned two beautiful rings from some red string he found in his car. We all laughed so much at these new rings and yet when the time came to exchange rings and the strings were blessed and they tied them on each others fingers – those rings became a symbol of all they had been through to come to that moment. There were tears in all of our eyes as those string rings became more precious than gold.

Less really is more – you can tell by their Leap of Joy!

Super Sedona Wedding Post

Superman and his Beloved Lille were very happy with their Sedona Wedding – I wanted to share with you their comment to yesterdays blog:

NEWS FLASH – Superman Marries Lille Lane

On September 22, 2010 Superman married his Lois Lane or Miss Lille at airport Vortex. It was the Fall Equinox and a powerful day and a powerful Ceremony.

They chose our Sedona Song Wedding Package. It was a two day never to be forgotten event.

Lille and Superman went out onto the Vortexes with Akal and had a chance to really connect with the energies have a transformational experience. Together they chose the Wedding site that they both Superman and Lille resonated with.

The Wedding Day was very intense – everything from sunshine to hail!
I was not worried a bit. I knew that the Spirit of Sedona would shine on us all and that Airport would shelter us for as long as we needed. Sure enough the sun came out the minute we all arrived and we had exactly enough sun to get us through the entire ceremony and lots of photos after wards. Lille and Superman were truly blessed. The rain around us was another level of Blessing – a special anointing by the Divine and a great gift to the desert.


Lille tells the story best on her blog. And she’s made a lovely little video so I’ll let her take over from here.

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.

Wedding Sites – Tlaquepaque

Tlaquepaque is a quaint, old Mexican style shopping mall right on Oak Creek. There are cobble stoned courtyards and a lovely little chapel for your Ceremony. For more info on the Chapel see our Sedona Chapels Package

Even if you go for a Ceremony out on the Red Rocks this little jewel is a great place for a photo session either before or after your Ceremony.

There’s plenty of parking, easy walking access for everyone and an old world charm that is remarkable and uniquely southwestern.

Sedona Wedding Sites – Bell Rock

Bell Rock is a well known Sedona Monument. It has great views of the valley in front of it with Courthouse Rock beside it and Twin Buttes and Cathedral in the distance. This site has very electric and powerful energy.

Bell Rock is a male Vortex. We call it Pa Bell because it gives you a direct line to the Creator. It is a great place to send up your prayers and intentions for your Marriage. It acts like a giant transmitter. Your vows and commitments to each other will be definitely heard and noted by the Divine.

There is plenty of parking and it is accessible with a moderate 10 minute hike.

Sedona Wedding Sites – Airport Vortex


Airport Vortex is one of my all time favorite places on the planet. This Vortex has such powerful and transformational energy. This is an electric/magnetic Vortex. That means it is balanced between male and female. The above Wedding was part of our Sedona Song Package

This is a two day event. On day one the bride and groom went on a powerful Vortex Tour with our Shaman, Akal. He took them out to many of the Weddings sites, helped them access the energies and prepared them for their Wedding Day. On this tour the Bride and Groom have an opportunity to really feel which site they both resonate with. This couple chose Airport Vortex and so the next day their lovely, intimate Wedding was held on Airport. I’ll post more about this Ceremony on a later date.

Airport is perfect for small weddings, parking is very limited and the access path can be daunting to Wedding guests. The photo ops are incredible. On your hike in you have sweeping views of all of West Sedona including Cockscomb, Bear Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Coffeepot, Wilson Mountain and Shiprock. At the Wedding Site you have views of Twin Buttes, Lee Mountain, Courthouse, Bell Rock and Cathedral.

Sedona Wedding Sites – Lover’s Knoll

Lover’s Knoll is just off a windy mountain road with world class views. There have been many car commercials filmed on this road. Spreading before you are Twin Buttes, Schnebley Hill, Lee Mountain, Courthouse Butte and Cathedral.

Sunset is the optimum time at this site and Sunset on a full Moon night cannot be beat anywhere on Planet Earth. Indescribable beauty, lighting and energy, a Wedding here on the Full Moon would be legendary.

It’s got easy access and ample parking – an unbeatable choice – as I said on any sunset night and on a Full Moon Sunset it becomes transcendent.

Sedona Wedding Sites – Magic Vista

Magic Vista is one of those hidden treasures. I have dubbed it ‘Magic” because it truly is a magical little spot. The views are unbeatable.
You are right in the shadow and the heart centered energy of SugarLoaf, Thunder Mountain rises above you with Coffee Pot (or Horus Rock). As you turn you have a magnificent 360 degree view. From Horus Rock your eye comes to Soldier’s Pass and Brim’s Mesa (called Brim because an original settler kept his prize bull – Brim up there grazing) and then Wilson Mountain and Shiprock and then Schnebley Hill and around to the Twin Buttes and Airport Vortex!

I just thought of another great reason to call it ‘Magic Vista’. Walt Disney lived in Sedona for awhile and many of the whimsical street names were given by him. He was inspired by Sedona and at Disney Land he made his focal piece “Magic Mountain” which was modeled after Thunder Mountain!

This hidden little gem is the absolute easiest access Wedding Site in all of Sedona. No long hike, no climb. just pull up, park walk a few hundred feet on a flat well kept trail and you are there. The ideal times at this location are Sunset and anytime on weekends.

Magic Vista is a personal favorite of mine because I love the energy of Sugar Loaf – it is the heart Center of Sedona and the Americas and that’s some powerful energy to have in your Wedding Ceremony and a great way to begin your married life together.

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
