AUGUST BEGINS – A NEW MONTH FOR TLAQUEPAQUE WEDDINGS

Wendy Lippman • Jun 03, 2017

As the month of August begins in 2009, so do our August weddings. August is a popular month in spite of the warmer temperatures and the chance of monsoon rains.

Saturday, August 1st, Tlaquepaque hosted two weddings for two happy couples. In the intimate Tlaquepaque Chapel, Karen Weedfall and Joe Gorbach held their wedding ceremony in front of their family and friends. Karen Lynn, Sedona Wedding Planner , conducted the beautiful wedding ceremony for Karen and Joe. The bride wore an elegant A Line bridal gown which was so flattering. Fitzhugh Jenkins magically performed guitar during the wedding ceremony. Lynn Bouwkamp was the professional photographer for this lovely wedding. Events by Showstoppers provided the beautiful flowers.

The Sedona Trolley brought all of Karen and Joe’s wedding guests to Tlaquepaque and then transported everyone to the Enchantment Resort for their wedding reception.

On the Patio de las Campanas, Katherine Shanahan and Scott Clarke got married at the foot of the Tlaquepaque Bell Tower. Pastor Trev performed the ceremony and Dan Perry from Photos in Time was their photographer. Dan went to school with Katherine’s father Randy. Katherine walked down the aisle to lovely guitar music. Mountain High Flowers created a lovely floral arch for the cermony accompanied by candelabras provided by Red Rock Candle and Gift. Guests were given personalized fans with a variety of images of Katherine and Scott.

Following the ceremony, guests headed to the Calle Independencia for the wedding reception. Rosalie’s of Sedona has prepared a lovely setting for the reception as well as creating a delicious plated dinner. Bonnie Grant and her staff always do such a super job. Dustin with Arizona Bartenders served cocktails with a smile.

The Walkens Band entertained at the wedding reception performing great music throughout the evening. Vocalist/acoustic guitarist Tod Miller accompanied by Tony King, drummer and Jeff Owens on Bass. The guests danced up a storm and Katherine and Scott has a wonderful time.

The spectacular wedding cake was created by Donna Joy, Sedona Sweet Arts. Each sugar flower was hand made by Donna Joy and the colors matched the reception theme perfectly.

Thank you for choosing Tlaquepaque for your special wedding. We wish you much happiness.

Events at Tlaquepaque are made all the more memorable by the event planning and food the guests enjoy. Whether attending an engagement party or wedding, the beauty of Tlaquepaque’s architecture and grounds is enhanced when the guest’s culinary experience is as artful and delightful as the surroundings. Here are a couple of our exclusive vendors who make that possible.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village has provided the perfect setting for south of the border fiestas, festivals, and cultural extravaganzas for the last four decades. Unfortunately, this year we are dealing with the unprecedented COVID pandemic and must pause our highly attended Day of the Dead celebration. There's good news though! Our annual Marigold Mural project is back this year with a NEW SAFE AND EXCITING FORMAT. Join us on Wednesday, November 4 through Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Calle Independencia. This project is unique to Tlaquepaque and an artful way to remember your loved ones. The artist Lovejoy will be in attendance again this year, handing out markers as she guides and answers questions regarding the mural and your contributions. Face masks and sanitizer will also be available for those who need them.

The Micro-Wedding Plan a bite-sized version of a traditional wedding and celebrate with 50 or fewer of your closest friends and family. Usually, a shorter timeline (3 hours instead of 5), these intimate events still include a ceremony and celebration with flowers, cake, music, and more, and can be designed to your liking. Bonuses: More time to spend with each of your guests A more affordable solution or an opportunity to allocate money to the things you care about the most (you no longer have 150 people coming, so you can spend more money on your dress!) Less to plan and manage which can mean less stress For the eco-conscious, a smaller carbon footprint
