LABOR DAY WEEKEND AT TLAQUEPAQUE

Wendy Lippman • June 3, 2017

Kicking off our Labor Day weekend here in Sedona, Tlaquepaque hosted three weddings over the weekend. The three day holiday invites many visitors to Sedona and allows wedding parties to enjoy extra time with their friends and family.

Sherri Conklin and Kevin Silcox choose Tlaquepaque for their wedding ceremony and reception. The afternoon had been wet and rainy but by 5:00pm the skies cleared up and everything was set for their outdoor wedding. The ceremony was held in the Patio de las Campanas at the foot of the Tlaquepaque Bell Tower on Saturday, September 5. The lovely setting was highlighted by lovely archways covered with ivy below a large Arizona Sycamore tree. Photos were taken by John Ellis and Seth Miller performed the ceremony.

Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a lovely reception catered and arranged by Rosalie’s of Sedona. Bonnie Grant and her entire staff did a wonderful job with the wedding set up and special touches offered by her company. The delicious cheese station offered a large variety of specialty cheeses with a selection of crackers and biscuits.

Guests danced and enjoyed the music performed by Elvis Before Noon throughout the evening. Mick from All Out Bartending served beverages and a good time was had by one and all.

On Sunday, September 6 we hosted an intimate Chapel wedding for Megan Asbury and Andrew Schlueter. The ceremony was arranged by Maria Grace with Two Hearts One Life Weddings.

On the Terrace at Patio del Norte, Shira Finkelstein and Jesse Charyn held their wedding ceremony in front of a lovely chuppah designed by Bliss Extraordinary Floral.

The setting above the main fountain in the Patio del Norte was beautiful. Rabbi Glickman from Maui, Hawaii, performed the wedding ceremony.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed the wedding reception in our ballroom, La Sala de los Milagros. We were happy to have Bonnie Grant and Rosalie’s of Sedona with us again on Sunday evening. Rosalie’s did a super job with the reception and prepared a delicious dinner. Bobby Russell with Sedona Sounds played the best music and did a great job as MC.

The beautiful and delicious wedding cake was created by Donna Joy, Sedona Sweet Arts. The entire wedding was captured photographically by Ron and Jenni Goldman, Jenni Goldman Photography. Jenni and Ron always do a super job and they are great to work with.

A special congratulations to Shira and Jesse for their extraordinary Sedona Wedding. They are so lucky to have such wonder friends and family members. We wish them the best of luck.

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
