KALIE COOKE AND TRAVIS RINGE WED AT TLAQUEPAQUE

Wendy Lippman • Jun 03, 2017

On Friday, October 16, 2009, we were happy to host the wedding ceremony and reception of Kalie Cooke and Travis Ringe. Sedona was experiencing unusually warm October weather on this day with temperatures near 90. Autumn was still in the air as guests enjoyed clear skies with a light breeze. In fact, the weather was perfect.

The ceremony took place on the Patio de las Campanas at the foot of the Tlaquepaque Bell Tower. As the sky turned deep blue, the lights overhead sparkled. Kalie entered the ceremony by the tiled staircase while walking along the bridge above the patio. It was a stunning entrance as guests and family members watched the procession. Bobby Russell with Sedona Sounds played classical guitar during the wedding ceremony.

The lovely wedding reception was held on the Calle Independencia. The color theme of the evening was gold and the tables and chairs were covered in golden cloth. Flowers were everywhere.

Los Abrigados Resort and Spa did a great job catering the dinner. They worked dilligently setting up the reception with all the special touches provided by the bride and groom. Family and friends helped with the chair ties. The delicious dinner was enjoyed by everyone. Bobby Russell with Sedona Sounds hosted the reception as DJ and MC. Dance music was played throughout the evening. Caleb Cooke, the bride’s brother, took the wedding photographs throughout the evening.

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
